Description

  The present invention relates to a hat having a hemispherical crown and a method for manufacturing the hat.

  Conventionally, a hat having a hemispherical crown that covers the wearer's head has been widely worn. In general, most of the hats of this type have obtained a hemispherical crown by sewing a plurality of flat crown forming fabrics cut into isosceles triangles. These isosceles triangular crown forming fabrics are sometimes called “renge” because they resemble the lotus petals. This type of hat can obtain a hemispherical crown from a plurality of flat crown forming fabrics, but has the disadvantage that the number of crown forming fabrics tends to increase, leading to high cutting costs and sewing costs. there were. In addition, there is a drawback that many seams of the crown forming fabric appear and the appearance of the hat becomes worse. Furthermore, there was a drawback that the design of the hat was limited by the seam. In addition, there is a drawback that the shape retaining property of the crown cannot be improved unless a shape retaining material such as a front is attached to the back side of the portion of the crown covering the front surface of the wearer's head.

  In view of such a situation, a hat in which a crown is formed in a hemispherical shape by performing a heat compression process has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 7). However, in all of these, the entire crown is formed by a single circular crown forming fabric. Therefore, the thickness of the crown-forming fabric after it is formed into a hemispherical shape may vary greatly depending on the location. In some cases, wrinkles or the like may be formed on the crown. This is because if a flat crown forming fabric having a large area is heat-compressed to form a hemispherical shape, the crown forming fabric will inevitably have an extra portion or a portion that is forcibly pulled. Because. This tendency becomes more prominent when the crown forming fabric has a multilayer structure.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-112504 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-070808 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-302517 Noto 3068282 gazette JP 2007-138373 A JP 2009-024314 A JP 2009-102751 A

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and although the number of crown forming fabrics can be reduced, and the cutting cost and sewing cost can be reduced, the entire crown is a beautiful hemisphere. It provides a hat that can be easily shaped. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a hat with excellent crown shape retention. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing this hat.

  The above-mentioned problem is a hat in which a crown covering a wearer's head is formed in a hemispherical shape by joining together a plurality of crown forming fabrics, and at least one of the plurality of crown forming fabrics The cloth for forming a crown is composed of an adhesive core coated with a hot melt adhesive on one side and a crown outer layer superimposed on the surface of the adhesive core coated with the hot melt adhesive. This is solved by a cap characterized in that the crown forming fabric is formed by curving into a spherical shape by applying a heat compression process in a state in which the adhesive interlining and the crown surface in the fabric for use are overlapped. In this way, by applying heat compression treatment, at least one crown forming fabric is formed into a spherical shape, so that the crown can be formed into a beautiful hemisphere even if the crown forming fabric is widened. Is possible. Therefore, the number of crown forming fabrics can be reduced. In addition, since the shape-retaining property can be imparted to the crown forming fabric itself, the shape-retaining property of the crown can be enhanced without separately providing a shape-retaining material such as a front.

  In the hat of the present invention, the shape of each of the crown forming fabrics, and which of the plurality of crown forming fabrics is subjected to the heat compression treatment as described above is particularly determined. It is not limited. For example, an isosceles triangle-shaped fabric (one "renge") that covers a hemispherical crown continuously covering the wearer's head left front surface and head right front surface, and the wearer's head It is composed of a plurality of other isosceles triangle-shaped doughs (other “renge”) covering other than the left front surface and the right front surface of the head, and at least the one crown forming fabric is hot on one side. It is composed of an adhesive interlining coated with a melt adhesive and a crown outer layer superimposed on the surface of the adhesive interlining applied with the hot melt adhesive. By applying the heat compression treatment in the stacked state, the crown forming fabric can be formed to be curved into a spherical shape (see FIG. 1).

  Also, a belt-shaped crown forming fabric that continuously covers the hemispherical crown from the front of the wearer's head to the back of the head through the top of the head, and the left and right sides of the wearer's head A pair of semi-circular fabrics for forming a crown, respectively, and at least one of the crown-forming fabrics, an adhesive core coated with a hot-melt adhesive on one side thereof, and an adhesive core And a crown surface layer superimposed on the surface to which the hot melt adhesive is applied, and by applying a heat compression treatment in a state where the adhesive core material and the crown surface material in the crown forming fabric are overlapped, It is also possible to form the dough by curving it into a spherical shape (see FIG. 7).

  As described above, the present invention makes it possible to reduce the number of crown forming fabrics and reduce the cutting cost and sewing cost, but it is easy to make the entire crown into a beautiful hemispherical shape. It becomes possible to provide. It is also possible to provide a hat with excellent crown shape retention. Further, it is possible to provide a method for manufacturing the hat.

  A preferred embodiment of the hat collar of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. In the following, the hat of the present invention will be described by taking the hat of the first embodiment and the hat of the second embodiment as examples, but the technical scope of the hat of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Changes can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention. First, the hat of the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the cap of the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the cap of the first embodiment is disassembled. As shown in FIG. 2, the hat of the first embodiment is arranged on the crown 10 for covering the wearer's head, the heel 20 protruding forward from the lower edge of the crown 10, and the joint on the back side of the crown 10. The seam tape 30 and the bottle skin 40 disposed in the vicinity of the lower edge of the back side of the crown 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the crown 10 is composed of a plurality of crown forming fabrics 11 to 15. That is, the crown forming fabric 11 for covering the head front surface that covers the front surface of the wearer's head (the left front surface of the head and the right front surface of the head) and the covering for the left side of the head that covers the left side surface of the wearer's head. Crown forming fabric 12, crown forming fabric 13 for covering the right side of the head covering the right side of the wearer's head, and crown forming fabric for covering the left rear of the head covering the left rear of the head of the wearer 14 and a crown forming fabric 15 for covering the head right rear surface covering the wearer's head right rear surface. These crown-forming fabrics 11 to 15 are all fabrics cut into substantially isosceles triangles (so-called “renge”), and by joining the respective equilateral portions via the joint tape 30, It is formed in a hemispherical shape.

  In the conventional general hat, the crown forming fabric 11 for covering the head front surface is a fabric covering the left front surface of the wearer's head (crown forming fabric for covering the head left front surface) and the wearer's head. It is divided into a cloth covering the right front surface (a crown forming cloth for covering the head right front surface), and the crown 10 is usually formed in a hemispherical shape by a total of six crown forming cloths. Therefore, in the conventional general hat, a vertical seam (a joint between the crown forming fabric for covering the head left front and the crown forming fabric for covering the head right front) appears in the middle of the front surface of the crown 10. That ’s why it looks bad. Further, when an emblem or the like is pasted in the middle of the front surface of the crown 10, it is difficult to neatly stick the emblem due to the rise of the joint.

  On the other hand, in the hat of the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a crown forming fabric for covering the head front surface in which the head left front surface and the head right front surface of the wearer are continuous. 11, the number of crown forming fabrics forming the crown 10 is five, which is one less than the conventional one. For this reason, there is no seam in the middle of the front surface of the crown 10, and the appearance of the hat is improved. Further, an emblem or the like can be neatly attached to the center of the front surface of the crown 10. Furthermore, cutting costs and sewing costs can be reduced. Thus, the hat of the first embodiment is superior to the conventional general hat in appearance and cost. However, in the cap of the first embodiment, the crown forming fabric 11 for covering the front part of the head has a width corresponding to two pieces of the crown forming fabric in the conventional cap. In the conventional method, It is difficult to bend the crown forming fabric 11 into a spherical shape neatly without any wrinkles.

  In this regard, in the cap of the first embodiment, the crown forming fabric 11 for covering the front surface of the head has the following multilayer structure, and is subjected to the following heat compression treatment, whereby the crown forming fabric is 11 is curved in a spherical shape. First, the layer configuration of the crown forming fabric 11 will be described. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state in which the crown forming fabric 11 in the hat of the first embodiment is cut along a plane perpendicular to the surface thereof. In the cap of the first embodiment, the crown forming fabric 11 is formed by bonding the crown outer material 11a to the adhesive interlining 11b as shown in FIG. The crown forming fabric 11 is maintained in a spherical curved shape by the crown outer material 11a or the adhesive interlining 11b. The crown forming fabric 11 is formed into a spherical shape by the following procedure.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a flat crown surface material 11a is placed on a flat adhesive interlining material 11b. FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state in which the crown surface material 11a is overlapped on the adhesive core material 11b in the hat of the first embodiment, cut along a plane perpendicular to the surface of the crown surface material 11a. FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state in which the crown surface material 11a is overlapped on the adhesive interlining 11b in the hat of the first embodiment, cut along a plane perpendicular to the surface of the crown surface material 11a. An adhesive 11c is applied to the upper surface of the adhesive interlining 11b (the outer surface facing outward after the crown is formed). The crown outer material 11a is overlapped on the side of the adhesive interlining 11b where the adhesive 11c is applied.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6, the crown forming dough 11 is sandwiched between the first compression plate 51 and the second compression plate 52 in the heating and compressing device 50, and the crown forming dough 11 is subjected to heat compression processing. . FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state in which the crown forming fabric 11 in the cap according to the first embodiment is subjected to the heat compression treatment, cut along a plane perpendicular to the surface of the crown forming fabric 11. . The first compression plate 51 and the second compression plate 52 have a shape curved in a spherical shape, and have a structure capable of compressing the crown forming fabric 11 in a curved shape in a spherical shape. . The first compression plate 51 and the second compression plate 52 are provided with steam holes 51a and 52a, respectively, and steam (heated gas) can be sprayed to the crown forming fabric 11 through these steam holes 51a and 52a. It is like that.

  By this steam, the thermoplastic material contained in the crown forming fabric 11 (crown outer material 11a or adhesive interlining 11b (including the adhesive 11c)) can be heated to the melting point or above the softening point. The thermoplastic material is melted or softened and then cooled again to be cured in a shape (a shape curved in a spherical shape) along the first compression plate 51 and the second compression plate 52. The steam sprayed on the crown forming fabric 11 is generated by a steam generating means (not shown), and is applied to the crown forming fabric 11 by the first compression plate 51 and the second compression plate 52. The pressure is not particularly limited, but is usually set to a pressure at which the heel of the crown forming fabric 11 can be stretched and the crown forming fabric 11 is not crushed.

  By the way, the crown forming fabric 11 that is curved into a spherical shape by being subjected to heat compression treatment is at least one of a crown outer material 11a and an adhesive interlining 11b (including the adhesive 11c) that form the crown forming material 11a. May be a thermoplastic sheet containing a thermoplastic material. The “thermoplastic sheet” here is not only a sheet formed entirely of a thermoplastic material, but also a thermoplastic material such as a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric in which thermoplastic fibers and other fibers are mixed. If it is included in a part thereof, the whole may not be formed of a thermoplastic material. In short, at least one of the crown outer material 11a and the adhesive interlining 11b is softened or melted by heating to change its natural shape (shape in a state where no external force is applied), and cooled to maintain its shape. Any material can be used as long as it is cured.

  In the hat of the first embodiment, a polyester fiber knitted fabric (polyester knit) is used for the crown outer surface 11a, and a nonwoven fabric made of thermoplastic fibers is used for the adhesive core 11b. In addition to this, the crown surface material 11a can be not only a fabric using a synthetic fiber such as a knitted fabric of nylon fibers (nylon mesh) but also a fabric using a natural fiber such as cotton. Examples of the thermoplastic resin used for the thermoplastic fiber forming the adhesive interlining 11b include low density polyethylene resin, ethylene vinyl acetate resin, copolymerized polyamide resin, and copolymerized polyester resin. The adhesive interlining 11b is preferably formed to a certain degree of thickness. Thereby, it becomes possible to improve the shape retention property of the adhesive interlining 11b.

  Although the pressure sensitive adhesive may be used as the adhesive 11c, it is preferable to use a hot melt adhesive in consideration of subjecting the crown forming fabric 11 to a heat compression treatment. As a result, the shape retention of the crown forming fabric 11 can be further improved. In the hat of the first embodiment, the adhesive 11c is in a state of being applied in a dot shape on one surface of the adhesive interlining 11b (so-called “dot glue”). Thus, it becomes possible to make it hard to form a wrinkle in the crown surface material 11a after passing through a heat compression process by apply | coating the adhesive agent 11c to dot shape.

  The time for heating and compressing the crown forming fabric 11 (heating compression time) varies depending on the material used for the crown forming fabric 11 and the temperature of steam sprayed on the material, and is not particularly limited. However, if the heat compression time is too short, the form may be retained before the crown forming fabric 11 is sufficiently deformed. On the other hand, if the heating and compressing time is too long, the productivity is reduced and the shape retention of the crown forming fabric 11 is not greatly improved. On the contrary, the crown forming fabric 11 may be damaged by heat.

  Further, the temperature of the steam for heating the crown forming fabric 11 (heating temperature) varies depending on the material used for the crown forming fabric 11 and the above-described heating compression time, and is not particularly limited. However, if the heating temperature is too low, the crown forming fabric 11 may not be deformed into a spherical shape. On the other hand, if the heating temperature is too high, the crown forming fabric 11 may be damaged by heat.

  Next, the hat of the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the hat of the second embodiment. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a state in which the cap of the second embodiment is disassembled. As shown in FIG. 8, the hat of the second embodiment is arranged on the crown 10 for covering the wearer's head, the collar 20 protruding forward from the lower edge of the crown 10, and the joint on the back side of the crown 10. The seam tape 30 and the bottle skin 40 disposed in the vicinity of the lower edge of the back side of the crown 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the crown 10 is composed of a plurality of crown forming fabrics 16 to 17. That is, a crown forming fabric 16 for covering the head center surface covering the center surface of the wearer's head (a belt-like region from the center of the front of the head to the center of the back of the head through the top of the head); A crown forming fabric 17 for covering the left side of the head covering the left side of the head of the wearer and a crown forming fabric 18 for covering the right side of the head covering the right side of the head of the wearer. . The crown forming fabric 16 is a fabric cut into a strip shape (elongate rectangular shape), and the crown forming fabrics 17 and 18 are fabrics cut into a semicircular shape. Even if the crown 10 has such a structure, it is possible to prevent the seam from appearing in the front center portion of the crown 10.

  However, in the hat of the second embodiment, the crown forming fabric 16 for covering the head central surface, the crown forming fabric 17 for covering the left side of the head, and the crown forming fabric 18 for covering the right side of the head are provided. It has a larger area than the crown-forming fabrics in the conventional hats, and it is difficult to bend these crown-forming fabrics 16 to 18 into a spherical shape neatly. In this respect, in the hat of the second embodiment, similarly to the crown forming fabric 11 in the cap of the first embodiment, the crown forming fabrics 16 to 18 are formed in a multi-layer structure, and this is subjected to a heat compression treatment, whereby the crown is formed. The forming fabrics 16 to 18 are formed to be curved in a spherical shape. For this reason, the cap of the second embodiment has a beautiful state in which the crown forming fabrics 16 to 18 are free of wrinkles, and is excellent in shape retention of the crown forming fabrics 16 to 18. ing.

  The kind of the hat of the present invention described above is not particularly limited as long as it is a hat having a hemispherical crown. Can be used as various hats. Especially, it can employ | adopt suitably as an athletic cap, a school cap, and a work cap in which shape loss by washing etc. becomes a problem easily.
