Description

  The present invention relates to a wig with improved hair planting on the front part of the wig base, and in particular, improves the natural feeling of the hairline of the wearer's forehead by positioning the hair to be planted on the front part of the wig base. It relates to the wig.

Generally, hair loss and thinning symptoms progress in various states depending on the person. For example, while hair loss and thinning are progressing around the top of the head, the type of hairline on the forehead is almost normal, whereas the hairline on the forehead gradually approaches the top of the head. There is a type that retreats. The wig is composed of a wig base formed in the shape of the head and the hair implanted in the wig. The shape and structure of the wig are adapted to symptoms such as the extent and extent of hair loss and thinning hair. It should be properly formed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the hair removal / thinning state 2 of the wearer 1 proceeds mainly around the top of the head, but the left and right heads including the forehead and the back of the back are almost normal or hair loss. If the hair is not progressing, a partial wig for covering the top of the head is suitable. In this case, the size of the wig base 3 is cut to the extent necessary to conceal the hair loss / thin hair state 2 on the top of the head. do it. In this case, the front edge portion 3a of the wig base 3 (hereinafter referred to as the front edge of the front portion) is centered on the hair removal / thin hair state 2 of the wearer 1, and the hairline 1a of the wig user (shown by a broken line). 8), the hair 5 planted on the wig base 3 and the own hair 6 growing on the forehead portion are tangled as shown in FIG. Together, the peripheral edge 4 of the wig base 3 is completely hidden. Therefore, the boundary line of the peripheral edge portion 4 of the wig is hidden by the own hair 6 and is not exposed, and a natural appearance can be easily obtained.
On the other hand, when the normal hairline 1a is retreated from the forehead portion and is in a hair loss / thin hair state, there is no own hair 6 entangled with the hair 5 of the wig. Therefore, unlike the hair removal at the top of the head shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, it is difficult to make the vicinity of the boundary between the peripheral edge of the front part of the wig and the hairline of the forehead of the head natural. . Thus, when producing a wig that reproduces the wearer's forehead, the wig base is typically molded to have a front portion that matches the normal hairline of the wearer's forehead. The hair 5 is planted densely on the entire surface including the front portion of the wig base 3. In particular, the front part of the wig base is devised so as to conceal the front edge by planting a large amount of hair in the same manner as other parts. However, when such a wig is worn, the hair 5 is planted densely in a horizontal line over the left and right temples in the wearer's forehead, so that it has an unnatural appearance. It was presenting.

  For the purpose of improving the forehead portion when wearing a wig, especially the natural feeling at the hairline, in Patent Document 1, hair is implanted in the vicinity of the periphery of the front portion on the back surface (wig wearing surface) of the wig, and the hair A method is disclosed in which the hair is pulled up to the surface of the wig and blended with the hair implanted on the surface of the wig. Patent Document 2 discloses that a hairline sheet is integrated with a wig body at the forehead portion of the wig, and the hair density of the hair to be planted is changed. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses that the forehead end of the wig has an irregular shape and changes the density of the hair to be planted. Patent Document 4 discloses that when a wig is divided into a plurality of regions from the frontal portion to the top of the head and hairs having different diameters are planted there, the boundaries of each region are implanted in a jagged uneven shape.

However, even in the wig described in any of the above-mentioned documents, hair is evenly planted up to the most protruding end (front edge) of the peripheral edge in the front part of the wig base.
As described above, in the conventional technique, in order to prevent the wig base from being exposed or camouflage, the front edge of the wig base is concealed by implanting hair to the entire surface of the wig base, particularly the front edge portion. I make wigs based on my ideas.
Therefore, for example, in the wigs described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the boundary between the front edge of the wig base and the head is clearly divided and visually recognized in a straight line, the forehead of the wig base worn by the wearer The peripheral edge of the head, that is, the boundary between the front edge and the head forehead appears as a line along the shape of the peripheral edge of the wig base, and the natural feeling of the wearer's forehead is not improved. It looks natural.

  Moreover, in the method of patent document 3, since the forehead edge part of a wig is made into uneven | corrugated shape, the boundary of a forehead part peripheral edge (front edge) and a head forehead part is linear as mentioned above. Since it does not become a line shape, the natural feeling is improved. However, “warping”, “curling”, and “rounding” of the uneven shape portion are likely to occur, the shape retention of the wig is lowered, and the portion protruding in a convex shape from the wearer's forehead is raised On the other hand, the sense of nature is lost.

  In Patent Document 4, the wig is divided into a plurality of regions from the frontal portion to the top of the head, and the boundary of each region is planted in a jagged uneven shape, but the frontal portion of the wig, that is, the outer peripheral end is the shape of the wig base. Therefore, the hairline is still a straight line along the peripheral edge shape of the wig base, and a natural appearance cannot be exhibited.

  As described above, all of the conventional technologies are manufactured on the premise of concealing the front edge of the wig base by planting hair evenly up to the most protruding end (edge) of the front part of the wig base. As a result, the edge of the front part of the wig is completely covered with hair, and the boundary between the edge of the wig and the forehead of the wearer is clearly divided into a straight line or a curved line. It had a natural appearance.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a wig with a front portion of the wig, in particular, the hair implanted in the front edge does not exhibit an unnatural linear line, and the wrinkle is also formed on the forehead portion of the user. The object is to provide a wig that exhibits a natural hairline that is very similar to how the hair grows, and that it is difficult to reveal that a wig is worn and that the natural feeling can be improved without a sense of incongruity.

In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a wig comprising a wig base having a front portion capable of exposing a hairline at a predetermined position of a wearer's forehead portion, and hair implanted in the wig base. Front hair was implanted so as to have a wave-like amplitude between the front edge of the front part of the base and a position retracted inward from the front edge, and to repeat the amplitude along the front edge to present a wave pattern. It is characterized by that.
The front part of the wig base preferably has a turning part corresponding to the left and right temples of the wearer at both ends of the front edge, and the left and right turning part at a position where the wave line is slightly retracted from the front edge. As a result, the front hair is implanted inside the wave line so as to exhibit a wave pattern.
The wave line formed in the front part is preferably composed of a plurality of waves having different amplitudes and periods. Preferably, a predetermined number of waves having different amplitudes and periods are combined to form one wave set. By connecting a plurality of the wave sets to the left and right cut-back portions, the front hair is implanted inside the wave line so as to exhibit a wave pattern.
It is desirable that the peak (tip) of the wave having the maximum amplitude among the plurality of waves is formed with a length reaching the front edge.
In the present invention, on the outside of the wig-based wave line, the front hair is defined as a hairless area in the front end area defined between the front edge and the wave line. This hairless region is partitioned by the tip of the wave with the maximum amplitude reaching the front edge, and is formed at a plurality of locations.
In the present invention, the wave line is formed by connecting the wave between the front edge of the wig and the position retracted inward from the front edge to the waveform and connecting the wave between the left and right turnover parts, Since the hair is planted in a zigzag shape along the wave line, the hair line exhibits a wave pattern. Therefore, as in the past, in order to reproduce the hairline of the wig user, the hair is not densely implanted up to the front edge so as to have a line-like appearance. It can give the appearance of a natural hairline.

According to the wig of the present invention, the front part of the wig base itself is not formed in a zigzag shape, and the front part of the wig base is along the normal hairline of the wig wearer to the left and right turning parts corresponding to the temples. It is formed into a normal linear hairline shape, and in this front portion, the waveline is expressed by hair by positioning the hair. As a result, the front edge of the wig base itself is not formed into a wave shape, so that the wig is not warped, curled or rounded, and the shape retention of the wig is improved, and the natural feeling at the hairline is greatly improved. be able to.
Further, in the present invention, with regard to the placement of the hair for expressing the zigzag wave line, only the vertex of the wave with the maximum amplitude is in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the wig base, that is, the front edge. A natural hairline similar to that of the own hair is expressed instead of an artificial linear hairline, and a more natural appearance can be exhibited. By the way, the hairline of the forehead part of the head seems to be a straight line over the left and right temple parts at first glance, but the hair itself does not grow in a clear line, but usually It grows in an amorphous zigzag shape, and in the present invention, it is possible to express the amorphous growth form of this own hair by the hair planting pattern exhibiting a wave pattern, so it has a more natural appearance. is there.

It is an enlarged plan view which shows an example of the wave line by this invention. It is a top view of the state which the user wore the conventional wig, and in order to show a wig base clearly, most of the hair of a wig and a user's own hair are abbreviate | omitted and drawn. It is the partial expansion schematic diagram which shows the mixing state of the hair of the conventional wig for coat | covering a top part, and a user's own hair.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a user wearing the wig of the present invention. The wig base 21 covers a front part 22 and a top part for covering the forehead part 11 of the user 10. It is comprised as the partial wig 20 which has the top part 23 for. The wig of the present invention is characterized in that a natural hairline, that is, a front part 22 capable of exposing the hairline 12 is provided at a predetermined position of the wearer's forehead part 11.
Here, as an example, the wearer of the wig has a hair loss / thin hair in the region where the forehead portion 11 is retracted and reaches the top and back of the head, and thus the wig base 21 is a crescent moon corresponding to the forehead portion 11. The front part 22 (region surrounded by the front edge 24 and the alternate long and short dash line) and the top part 23 that continuously extends from the front part 22 to the top and back of the head are formed into a cap shape. . Hair 27 (only part of which is shown) is planted on the entire surface of the front portion 22 and the top portion 23 of the wig base 21 with a predetermined amount of hair to form a partial wig 20 that conceals the hair removal / thin hair portion.
The front portion 22 of the wig base 21 extends from the wearer's left temple portion 14 to the right temple portion 15 so as to reproduce a normal hairline 12 (shown by dotted lines) that should be present on the forehead portion 11 of the wearer 10. A normal hairline that is shaped to have a front edge 24 in a line shape (curved in the plan view of FIG. 1) at the forehead portion 11 and the front edge 24 should be present on the wearer's forehead portion 11 when worn. 12 is attached to the wearer's forehead portion in close contact with each other so as not to float. Further, on the left and right sides of the front portion 22 of the wig base, cut-back portions 25 and 26 are formed so as to be connected to the top portion 23 that is enlarged and curved rearward. The left and right cut-back portions 25 and 26 are formed at positions corresponding to the positions of the left and right temple portions 14 and 15 in order to reproduce the left and right temple portions 14 and 15 in the forehead portion of the wearer. The front portion 22 is formed by bulging in accordance with the shape and size of the hairline 12 of the forehead portion with the cut-back portions 25 and 26 as the base points. In this way, the wearer's hairline 12 is reproduced by the front edge 24 of the front portion 22 of the wig base 21.

As shown in FIG. 2, the wig base 21 used in the wig of the present invention is molded entirely with artificial skin made of a soft thermoplastic resin, for example, an ultra-thin polyurethane resin. You may produce with a net. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, the frontal part including the front part 22 may be an artificial skin 21a and the other part may be constituted by a net 21b and connected to each other, or vice versa. . Moreover, about the thickness of the wig base 21, it produces as thinly as possible in order to bring out the camouflage and naturalness of a forehead part at the time of wig wearing, for example, the range of 0.05-0.10 mm is suitable.
By the way, in the wig of this embodiment, the hair 27 having the same color as the hair around the wearer's hair removal / thin hair part is implanted on the entire surface of the wig base 21, and when the wig user wears the wig, The attached hair 27 and the own hair 13 are sufficiently entangled with each other by brushing, so that the peripheral portions of both side portions and the back of the head except for the front portion 22 of the wig base 21 are completely hidden. Therefore, the boundary between the peripheral edge portion on the left and right sides from the wig rear side and the own hair 13 is not exposed, and a natural appearance can be easily obtained. However, when the hairline 12 of the user's forehead 11 is retreated and the frontal head is in a hair loss / thin hair state, the hairs 27 of the wig cannot be mixed with the hairs 13 because the hairs 13 do not exist. Therefore, as described above, various contrivances have been made for the camouflage. However, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the wig base has a wave in the front portion 22, particularly near the front edge. By attaching the hair 27 according to the pattern of the pattern 30, an excellent camouflage effect and reproduction of a natural hairline are realized. The wave line 31 for constituting the wave pattern 30 is formed as a virtual line that is continuous in a zigzag manner along the front edge 24 from the left and right turning portions 25 and 26 of the wig base.
FIG. 4 schematically shows the hair planting location on the wig base in the present invention, and the points indicated by “black circles” indicate the hair 27 planting location. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, hair 27 is implanted in the wig base 21 of the present embodiment on the entire surface of the top portion 23 and the inside of the wave line 31 constituting the wave pattern 30 of the front portion 22. It is what is done. However, the hair 27 is not implanted in the zigzag front end region 28 defined between the front edge 24 and the wave line 31 outside the wave line in the front portion 22. It has become. The hairless region 28 is partitioned by the tip of the wave having the maximum amplitude reaching the front edge 24, and is formed at a plurality of locations. As described above, the hair 27 is not planted in the hairless region 28, and a small part of the wig base remains exposed. Is attached to the top portion 23 and the front portion 22 and is not exposed because it is hidden by loosening the entire wig. Even if it is exposed, the camouflage is excellent by making the thickness of the wig base extremely thin or adjusting to a color that approximates the skin, so that the boundary is not noticeable and hardly visible.
FIG. 6 is a view showing a wave line 31 formed by positioning the front hair 27a to be implanted in the front part 22 of the wig base of the present invention. Hereinafter, the wave pattern 30 will be mainly described with reference to FIG. A description will be given of how to attach the wave line 31 for constructing.
In the present invention, the wave line 31 is zigzag-shaped or wavy along the front edge 24 of the wig base that coincides with the hair line 12 where the wig wearer should be present, and on the inside of the left and right turnover portions 25, 26. Many are formed. The top, that is, the front end 31 a of the wave line 31 reaches the front edge 24 of the wig base, and the bottom, that is, the rear end 31 b is set at a position slightly retracted from the front edge 24. The waveform of each wave 32 is not given with a regular period and amplitude, but is given randomly. The reason is that if the wave line 31 is set to have the same amplitude and period as shown in FIG. 5 and the tips 31a of all the waves reach the front edge 24, the wave line 31 has regularity. This is because it has been confirmed by the inventors' experiments that when the hair is planted along a rough wave line, the hair looks unnatural.

  On the other hand, when the case where the wave line 31 is made irregularly and irregularly shaped as shown in FIG. 6A, for example, has a period and an amplitude of each wave 32, it looks natural at first glance. On the other hand, it has been confirmed by the inventors' experiments that irregularities appear to be unnatural.

  As a result of various experiments by the inventors, the wave line 31 is obtained by combining each wave 32 having different amplitude and period into a single wave set 33 by combining a predetermined number, for example, 3 to 5 waves 32. It has been found that a preferable wave pattern 30 can appear if a plurality of sets 33 are combined.

In the present embodiment, the wave pattern 30 is formed in this way, and only the vertex of the wave 32a having the maximum amplitude in each wave set 33 is in contact with the front edge 24 of the wig base. The apex 31a may be a gentle radius or a sharp point. On the other hand, the wave trough, that is, the bottom 31b is provided at a position entering the inside from the front edge, but the penetration depth is not regularly arranged for each wave, and the irregular shape is more natural. The wave line 31 is formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of wave sets 33 in a region extending over the left and right cut-back portions of the front part in the front part 22 of the wig base. By setting the wave line 31 with a specific rule, it is very advantageous because a wig having a stable and reproducible quality can be obtained even in actual wig manufacturing.
When forming one wave set 33, specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), a combination of one wave 32a having a large amplitude and two waves 32b having a small amplitude is combined. These three waves are repeated as one wave group 33 to form a plurality of wave groups. For example, the amplitude b of the small wave 32b is 3 to 5 mm, the amplitude a of the large wave 32a is 4 to 6 mm, and the length (period) of one wave set 33 is 11 to 17 mm. The hairline closest to the hairline state (form) can be restored. However, it was confirmed that the natural appearance of the hairline was difficult to obtain when outside the above range.
In the present invention, the front hair 27a is implanted along the wave line 31 formed by combining the plurality of wave sets, and the hair 27 is arranged inside including the wave line 31. It should be noted that this is not the purpose of planting without any gaps. As a matter of course, the positioning of the hair 27 must be set inside the wave line 31 with a predetermined interval according to the hair removal / thin hair state of the user 10. In general, in the normal hairline of a person, the density of the own hair is lower than that of both heads and the back of the head, and the density increases from the hairline to the inner back. In addition, it must be taken into consideration that thin hair like vellus hair grows at the hairline. Therefore, it goes without saying that the hair transplantation work is performed with sufficient consideration of the diameter and length of the hair 27 to be planted, and the spacing between the hairs.
In this manner, the front hair 27a is implanted at a desired or predetermined density inside the wave line 31 of the front portion 22. The hair 27 to be planted may be either natural hair or artificial hair, and the planting of the hair can be applied by a known method without any particular problem.

  Next, an example of a method for setting the waveline 31 to the wig base 21 will be described.

First, the wig base 21 having a size and a curved shape along the shape of the wearer's head is manufactured by combining synthetic resin or a net, or a partial combination thereof. Since the wig base 21 is intended to reproduce the forehead portion of the user that has been retracted, a front portion 22 corresponding to the forehead portion 11 is formed in the front portion of the wig base. In order to reproduce the normal hairline 12 of the wearer's head forehead portion, the front portion 22 has a wig base along the predetermined hairline of the forehead portion from the turnover portions 25 and 26 corresponding to the user's temple. The front edge 24 is determined by bulging between the left and right cut-back portions 25 and 26 in a curved shape.
Next, a boundary line for planting the hair of the front portion 22 is set as a wave line 31. The wave line 31 sets a plurality of waves at random to form one wave set 33, and a plurality of the wave sets 33 regularly arranged in parallel are slightly inside the front edge 24 of the front portion 22. It is determined by connecting. At this time, the wave line 31 is arranged so that the vertex of the wave 32 having the largest amplitude is aligned with the front edge 24. The wave line 31 may be drawn directly at a predetermined position of the front part 22 of the wig base with a writing tool or the like. Alternatively, the wave line 31 is made of a fine thread and temporarily fixed at a predetermined position of the front part 22. It is formed by keeping. Alternatively, the wave line 31 is not directly drawn on the wig base 21, but the wave line 31 is written on the male shape of the head 10 of the user 10 who fixes the wig base 21 when hair is implanted, and the wig base 21 is fixed thereon. And you may make it plant the hair 27 along the wave line 31 which can be seen through. The front hair 27a is implanted with a predetermined amount of hair inside the wave line 31 as a limit. Therefore, the front hair 27 a is not implanted in the tip region 28 defined outside the wave line 31, that is, between the front edge 24 and becomes a hairless region 28.
The wig 20 of the present invention has such a wave line 31 and is capable of reproducing the user's natural hairline 12 by applying the wave pattern 30 to the front portion 22 and wearing the wig. It is possible to exhibit a natural appearance that is not exposed at all.
Hereinafter, the specific manufacturing method of the wig of this invention is further demonstrated by an Example.

A wig base 21 that connects the left and right cut-back portions 25 and 26 and bulges in a curved shape to form a front portion 22 of a wig has a first amplitude with a height of 4.5 mm and a period width of 4.0 mm. A wave 32, a second wave 32 having an amplitude height of 3.5 mm and a period width of 4.5 mm, and a third wave 32 having an amplitude height of 3.5 mm and a period width of 5.0 mm are successively arranged. The set of three waves is a set, and the length of the set of waves is set to 15 mm, and the wave line 31 is used as a writing tool so that the vertex of the first wave 32 is in contact with the front edge 24 of the wig base. Filled in.
As a wig base 21, a net made of plain mesh of 41 dtex polyester monofilament with 180 mesh is integrally formed as a top portion 23 and a front portion 22, and the above net is fixed to a male mold that reproduces the head of a wig wearer, After applying the thermosetting resin solution, a curved head shape was imparted by heat treatment. A wig base 21 having a front portion 22 having a predetermined shape was obtained by cutting the net-shaped peripheral edge and the front edge 24 at a predetermined position.
The hair to be planted was polyamide-based hair having a diameter of 0.06 mm for the front portion 22 and polyamide-based hair having a diameter of 0.08 mm for the other portions.

  When the completed wig is attached to the user and viewed from the front, the wig's front edge and the user's forehead are not at all uncomfortable, and the user's natural hairline is clearly linear. In other words, it was well expressed that the hair was slightly zigzag and gradually gathered inwardly, and had a very natural appearance.
