Description

  The present invention relates to a patient hat for use by patients whose hair has fallen due to side effects of drugs or radiation therapy caused by cancer or other diseases, or who have shaved head hair for surgery or injury. .

  In general, it is well known that hair is lost as a side effect of drugs in hospitals, clinics, etc., particularly as a side effect of using anticancer drugs. Patients who have lost their hair often wear a hat deeply indoors or outdoors so that others do not know that they have no hair. Sometimes a wig was worn instead of a hat.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-221720 has been proposed as a hat worn by the patient. This structure is formed in a cylindrical body having openings at both ends, and covers a small hole at the periphery of the other opening in the vicinity of the top of the head, with one opening side covered over the human head. The cap is formed into a shape that can be formed, and the first cap portion is detachably attached to the outside of the cylindrical body, and the upper portion is detachably covered to cover the closed portion of the small hole and the attachment portion of the hair portion. And a second hat portion formed in a shape.

  However, the purpose of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-221720 is to make it possible to wear in a natural form without other people knowing that the hair is missing and that the head is bandaged. For this reason, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-221720 has almost no effect of promoting the growth of hair by appropriately warming the head as in the present application and has no such idea.

JP 2003-221720 A

  The present invention promotes the growth of the hair of patients who have lost their hair due to side effects of drugs due to diseases such as cancer or the like, and those who have their head shaved due to surgery or injury and are used more warmly in winter. An object is to provide a patient cap that can be used.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, that is, a structure in which a flexible hat body is formed by knitting at least with hygroscopic heating fibers. Further, it is preferable that the hat body is knitted with moisture-absorbing heat-generating fibers or is formed by sewing a knitted fabric, and a hat for preventing heat dissipation is provided on the outer periphery of the hat body. Furthermore, it is good also as what provides a hair part in the peripheral part of a hat main body or a jacket. The term “knitting” as used in the present invention refers to knitting to form a hat body, and includes knitting the cloth and then sewing the cloth to form the hat body.

  By knitting at least with hygroscopic heat-generating fibers to form a flexible hat body (1) as in claim 1, the winter is warm and the head can always be appropriately warmed. The blood circulation can be promoted and the growth of the hair can be promoted. Moreover, since the shape and manufacturing method of the cap body (1) are the same as the conventional one, it can be manufactured easily. Furthermore, in general, if a person with adolescent alopecia or alopecia areata suffers from the product of the present invention, the internal temperature of the hat body (1) does not decrease even if it is exposed to the outside air, and thus a constant temperature is maintained. It can be used for promoting hair.

  The hat body (1) is knitted with moisture-absorbing heat-generating fibers, or a knitted fabric is sewn and formed on the outer periphery of the hat body (1) to prevent heat dissipation ( 2) provided and the hat body (1) is formed of moisture-absorbing heat-generating fibers, and the hat body (1) is provided with an outer cover (2) for preventing heat dissipation and having air permeability. Thus, the heat generated by moisture absorption is less likely to radiate to the outside, and a comfortable warmness can always be ensured, so that the growth of hair can be further promoted.

  By providing the hair part (3) at the peripheral part (11) of the cap body (1) or the peripheral part (21) of the outer cover (2) as shown in claim 3, the appearance is good and the head The lack of hair makes it difficult for people to understand.

It is explanatory drawing which shows embodiment of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows another embodiment of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the cross section of another embodiment.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. (1) is a flexible hat body to be worn after hair removal or head surgery due to side effects such as anticancer agents, and the hat body (1) is formed by knitting with moisture-absorbing exothermic fibers or moisture-absorbing fever. It may be formed by knitting a fabric with fibers and then sewing the fabric. The moisture-absorbing exothermic fiber absorbs moisture and generates heat, thereby ensuring a comfortable temperature. As the moisture-absorbing exothermic fiber and its fabric, for example, it is preferable to use the same material as Moycare (registered trademark name) manufactured by Toyobo AP Division or Heattech (registered trademark name) manufactured by UNIQLO.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the present invention, which will be described. (1) may be the same as the hat body (1) of the above embodiment. (2) is a jacket as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 provided on the outer periphery of the hat body (1), and the jacket (2) has a finer knitting stitch than the hat body (1). Further, the cloth is breathable and is preferably thicker than the thickness of the hat body (1), but cloths having substantially the same thickness may be used. Further, the outer cover (2) serves to prevent heat dissipation to make it difficult for heat generated by moisture absorption by the hat body (1) to be dissipated to the outside. Moreover, it is preferable to sew and integrate the outer cover (2) on the hat main body (1), but it is also possible to partially bond and integrate them using an adhesive. In addition, about the air permeability of the said jacket (2), it is not necessarily required. (3) is provided along the peripheral part (11) of the cap body (1) as shown in FIG. 3 (a) or the peripheral part (21) of the jacket (2) as shown in FIG. 3 (b). It is a hair part, and the hair part (3) may be provided by weaving a bundle of hairs or planting hair. Furthermore, as shown in FIG.3 (c), it is good also as what was made to plant the whole outer peripheral surface of a jacket (2).

  Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. First of all, the patient hat shown in FIG. 1 only needs to be put on the head (H) as in the conventional case. At this time, the conventional patient hat was used only to camouflage the hair without hair or shaving the hair without hair, while the patient of the present invention The hat can naturally warm the scalp by the heat of hygroscopic heat generated by the hat body (1) and can always warm it at a pleasant temperature, thus promoting blood circulation of the scalp, especially for promoting the growth of hair. It becomes a thing. In winter, when a healthy person uses the product of the present invention at a ski resort or a snowy country, a much warmer state than that of a conventional hat is always secured, which is useful. Furthermore, if a person such as age-related alopecia or alopecia areata receives the product of the present invention, it can be used for promoting hair growth.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the patient's hat may be applied to the patient's head (H) in the same manner as described above. At this time, the heat of the hygroscopic heat generated by the cap body (1) is dissipated to the outside, whereas the heat of the hygroscopic heat generated by the hat body (1) is the outer cover (2 ) Allows heat to be accumulated inside, so that a comfortable warmth can be maintained at all times and hair growth can be further promoted.

  In addition to the above effects, the patient hat shown in FIG. 2 has a hair part (3) provided on the peripheral part (21) of the outer cover (2) or the peripheral part (11) of the hat body (1). The loss of hair and the lack of hair after shaving the hair make it difficult for others to understand and improve camouflage.

  Thus, the present invention not only promotes the growth of the hair of patients who have lost their hair or who have their head (H) shaved due to surgery or injury, but also those with alopecia, especially in winter. Even if it is used by a healthy person, a comfortable warmth can be maintained forever.
