Description

  The present invention relates to a cap having air permeability.

Conventionally, as a cap having air permeability, a cap provided with a vent hole, a cap using a mesh material for part or all of the fabric of the cap, and the like are known.
In the method of providing a vent hole in the cap body, several vent holes having a diameter of about 1 mm to 5 mm are provided at appropriate positions on the cap body. However, since the vent hole is small, sufficient air permeability to ensure a refreshing feeling is ensured. I couldn't. In addition, if a mesh material is used for a part of the fabric of the cap body, breathability can be secured, but since the sunlight is directly applied to the part using the mesh material, the wearer has a sufficient refreshing feeling. I can't feel it. Furthermore, when the cap body is provided with vent holes or a mesh material is used as part of the cap body fabric, the appearance of the cap body is not good.

  In Patent Document 1, in a hat formed with a ventilation portion on the front surface of the crown, a central portion is formed as a bag-like portion in the front half of the inner periphery of the lower end of the crown, and sweat conditioning and other temperature control devices are provided as necessary. A hat is described in which a length-adjustable belt that can be stored is attached so as to be freely adjustable. According to the present invention, the air flowing in from the ventilation portion flows downward from the gap portion that appears between the front surface of the belt and the inner peripheral surface of the crown, but it protects against sunlight and foreign matter entering from the ventilation portion. No measures have been taken.

  In Patent Document 2, an inlet opening for introducing air into the inside of the cap is provided above the height of the eaves at the front part of the crown, and a baffle or blade hanging from the upper edge of the inlet opening is provided, A hat is described having an outlet opening in the occipital region of the crown. According to the present invention, the gentle turbulence generated by the baffles or blades from the inlet opening to the outlet opening covers the top of the cap user's head to produce a cooling effect. However, since the outside air from the front of the hat is blocked by the baffle or the blade, the outside air does not directly contact the forehead which is the most sensitive part to the cool air in the head of the person wearing the hat. Moreover, since the opening part is comprised by cloth | dough according to this invention, it is impossible to maintain an opening part reliably.

  The present invention provides a hat that can ensure air permeability and light shielding properties at the same time and is easy to manufacture. Further, the cooling effect is enhanced by directly contacting the forehead with the forehead, which is the most sensitive part to the cool air in the head of the person wearing the hat.

  The hat of the present invention is a baseball cap-type cap configured by providing a buttock at the lower front end of the head periphery and connecting a crown to the upper end of the head periphery. The front part is formed with an inclined surface that expands in the outer direction of the hat as it goes to the lower end, and the front lower end of the head periphery is connected to both sides of one end of the buttocks but connected to the center of one end of the buttocks Is not provided, a gap is provided between the buttocks and the head periphery, and a central portion of one end of the buttocks is located inside the hat with respect to a front lower end of the head periphery, and at least in front of the head periphery. The part and the collar part are integrally formed of a synthetic resin.

It is preferable that the front part and both side parts of the head periphery part and the collar part are integrally formed of a synthetic resin.
It is preferable that the entire circumference of the head periphery and the collar be integrally molded with a synthetic resin.

  A baseball cap type cap provided with a slide adjuster on the inner side of the head periphery, the slide adjuster comprising a synthetic resin band and a buckle, and a serrated engagement groove formed on the outer surface of the band. When the engaging claw is engaged, the band is accessible to the buckle but cannot be retracted in the locked state, and the buckle is composed of an opposing bottom plate, a ceiling frame, and both side plates that connect the two to the inside of the band. A buckle body as an insertion space, and an engaging claw that is horizontally installed on the inner side of the ceiling frame and engages with the engaging groove of the band on the lower surface of one end, and releases the engagement at the other end. And an operation plate that is supported by a connecting shaft that connects the both side plates or the ceiling frame at an intermediate point between the engaging claw and the pressing portion. Swing around Is a resident will be, the height of the pressing portion shall equal to or lower than the said ceiling frame, it is preferable that the buckle is fixed to the inside of the head around section through the roof frame.

It is preferable that the band and the head periphery are integrally formed of a synthetic resin.

In the hat according to the present invention, the front lower end of the head circumference portion is connected to both sides of one end of the heel portion, but is not connected to the center portion of one end of the heel portion. Since at least the front part of the head circumference part and the collar part are integrally formed of a synthetic resin, a gap can be easily secured between the collar part and the head circumference part. In addition, since the central portion of one end of the buttock is located on the inner side of the cap from the front lower end of the head periphery, outside air is introduced from the front along the buttock through the gap into the cap. Since the head is directly in contact with the forehead, which is the most sensitive part to cold air, the cooling effect is remarkably enhanced. Furthermore, since the front part of the head periphery part is formed with an inclined surface that expands toward the outer side of the hat as it goes toward the lower end, it is possible to prevent sunlight and foreign matter from entering from the gap.
Since the cap according to the present invention is configured by connecting a crown to the upper end of the head periphery, it is very easy to manufacture.

It is the side view (FIG. 1 (2)) which isolate | separated from the cap body the side view (FIG. 1 (1)) of the present invention, and the front part of the head periphery part, and the buttocks. It is a vertical side view which shows the wearing state of the cap shown in FIG. It is the perspective view which looked at the hat which shows other embodiment of this invention, and was seen through the slide adjuster provided inside the head periphery part from the upper left front part. It is a top view (FIG. 4 (1)) of the slide adjuster which consists of a band and a buckle, and the vertical side view (FIG. 4 (2), (3)) in the zz cut line. It is a bottom view of the cap shown in FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the cap which integrally molded the head periphery part and the band with the synthetic resin.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a breathable cap according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 (1) is a side view of a hat according to the present invention, in which a crown part 2, a head circumference part 3 and a heel part 4 constituting the hat are shown. Fig. 1 (2) is a side view showing the front part 3a and the heel part 4 of the head periphery part separated from the cap body.

The heel part 4 is provided at the front lower end of the head periphery 3, and the crown 2 is connected to the upper end of the head periphery 3. The front part 3a of the head periphery 3 is molded integrally with the collar 4 and the synthetic resin, and the crown 2 is connected to the upper end of the head periphery 3 by sewing or the like.
The front part 3a of the head periphery part 3 is formed with an inclined surface that expands in the outer direction of the hat toward the lower end. Thereby, it can prevent that sunlight inserts into the inside of a cap from the space | gap mentioned later, or a foreign material enters. There is no particular limitation on the angle of the front portion 3a of the head periphery 3, and any angle that can effectively prevent sunlight and intrusion of foreign matter may be used.

The lower end of the front part 3 a of the head periphery 3 is connected to one end side part 4 a of the collar part 4, but is not connected to one end center part 4 b of the collar part 4. Thereby, the space | gap 5 is provided between the collar part 4 and the head periphery part 3. FIG.
Since the front part 3a and the collar part 4 of the head periphery part 3 are integrally formed of synthetic resin, the gap 5 is ensured reliably in the front part of the cap. In addition, a hat having a gap 5 between the front portion 3a and the heel portion 4 of the head periphery 3 can be easily manufactured simply by connecting the crown 2 to the upper end of the head periphery 3.

  As a material of the front part 3a and the collar part 4 of the head periphery part 3, synthetic resin, such as polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, ABS resin, can be used. The front part 3a and the collar part 4 of the head circumference part 3 can be easily integrally formed with a mold because of the simple structure. FIG. 1 (2) is a side view showing the front portion 3 a and the heel portion 4 of the head-around portion 3 integrally formed separately from the crown portion 2.

Next, the operation of the hat according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional side view showing a wearing state of the hat shown in FIG.
Since the central part 4b of the one end of the heel part 4 is located on the inner side of the hat from the lower end of the front part 3a of the head circumference part 3, the outside air W from the front of the hat is not interrupted along the upper part of the heel part 4 It is introduced into the cap through the gap 5.

  According to the present invention, a large amount of outside air W flowing from the gap 5 to the inside of the hat along the heel part 4 directly contacts the forehead, which is the most sensitive part to the cool air in the head of the person wearing the hat. In addition, since the sunlight S is blocked by the front part 3a of the head circumference part, the cooling effect is extremely excellent in terms of bodily sensation. Moreover, since the front part 3a and the collar part 4 of a head periphery part are integrally molded by a synthetic resin, the space | gap 5 can be ensured reliably.

In the present embodiment, the front part 3a of the head periphery 3 and the heel part 4 are integrally formed of synthetic resin, but the entire periphery of the head periphery 3 and the heel part 4 may be integrally formed of synthetic resin. In this case, since the entire circumference of the head periphery 3 serving as the base of the hat is made of synthetic resin, the shape of the entire hat provided with the gap 5 is maintained.
Further, when a size adjusting mechanism is provided at the rear part of the cap, the front part 3a and both side parts of the head periphery part 3 and the collar part 4 can be integrally formed of synthetic resin.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In this embodiment, a slide adjuster 8 is provided inside the head periphery 3. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the cap drawn through the slide adjuster 8 as seen from above the left front portion, and shows the crown portion 2, the head periphery portion 3, and the heel portion 4 constituting the cap. The heel part 4 is provided at the front lower end of the head periphery 3, and the crown 2 is connected to the upper end of the head periphery 3. The entire circumference of the head periphery 3 is integrally formed with the collar 4 and the synthetic resin, and the crown 2 is connected to the upper end of the head periphery 3 by sewing or the like.

As will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, the slide adjuster 8 provided inside the head periphery 3 includes a band 10 and a buckle 20, and the buckle 20 is fixed to the inside of the head periphery 3 via a ceiling frame. The
The fixing means is usually preferably by sewing, but is not limited to this, and fixing means using caulking, adhesive, or the like can also be employed. Since the band 10 and the buckle 20 can be provided at any position in the circumferential direction of the head periphery 3, a disengagement pressing portion 32 to be described later is also provided at an arbitrary position of the head periphery 3. be able to.

Next, the slide adjuster 8 will be described with reference to FIG.
4 shows a slide adjuster composed of a band 10 and a buckle 20. FIG. 4 (1) is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 4 (2) is a longitudinal side view taken along the line zz of FIG. 4 (1). It is.

  In these drawings, a serrated engagement groove 12 is formed on the outer surface of the band 10 having a required length, width, and thickness from the tip (portion close to the buckle 20) to the end.

  The buckle 20 is mainly composed of a flat and cylindrical buckle body 24 including a bottom plate 21, a ceiling frame 22 facing the bottom plate 21, and side plates 23 and 23 connecting the bottom plate 21 and the ceiling frame 22. The buckle body 24 is opened with the sliding direction of the band 10 as an insertion opening, and the inside thereof becomes an insertion space 26 of the band 10.

By forming the ceiling frame 22 constituting the buckle body 24 with a flat plate, the buckle 20 can be easily attached to the bottle skin 4. Thereby, the hat according to the present invention can be mass-produced without labor and cost.
In FIG. 4, the pressing portion 32 is formed in a small circle so that it can be easily pressed with the fingertip of one hand, but is not limited to this and may have a square shape.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 22 a denotes a ceiling frame 22 that faces one end of the operation plate 30, and is formed by extending horizontally in the direction opposite to the operation plate 30. The buckle 20 is securely fixed to the inside of the head circumference 3 by the ceiling frame 22a, and the front end of the band 10 enters along the lower surface of the ceiling frame 22a (the surface facing the bottom plate 21) when the band 10 slides. Also serves as a slide guide and sheath.
If the extending length of the ceiling frame 22a is approximately the same as that of the band 10, the length as a slide guide or a sheath is sufficient.
On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the entire circumference of the head periphery 3 is molded from synthetic resin, the head periphery 3 itself has a role as a slide guide or a sheath, and an arbitrary part of the ceiling frame 22 is flattened. You may form with a rust board.

  On the inner side of the ceiling frame 22, an operation plate 30 having a size that fits therein is installed horizontally. An engaging claw 31 that can be engaged with the engaging groove 12 of the band 10 is provided on the lower surface of one end of the operation plate 30, and the upper surface of the other end serves as a pressing portion 32 for releasing the engagement. Since the height of the pressing portion 32 is the same as or lower than that of the ceiling frame 22, even when the hat is worn when the buckle 20 is fixed to the head periphery 3, the engagement is inadvertently released. Can be prevented.

  A connecting shaft 35 is formed at an intermediate point in the longitudinal direction of the operation plate 30, and this connecting shaft 35 is connected to the upper inner walls of the side plates 23, 23. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting shaft 35 can be circular, elliptical, or other various shapes. The connecting shaft 35 may pivotally support the operation plate 30 and may have any shape that is not damaged by repeated swinging. Note that the connecting shaft 35 is not limited to the side plates 23 and 23, and even if it is supported on two sides of the ceiling frame 22 facing the operation plate 30, it can exhibit the same operation as described below.

  The band 10 and the buckle 20 are preferably molded from a flexible synthetic resin. By making the band 10 made of synthetic resin, the band 10 can smoothly slide on the lower surface of the ceiling frame 22a or the inside of the head periphery 3.

  The buckle 20 is preferably molded from an elastic synthetic resin such as polyacetal, polyoxymethylene, polyamide, or polycarbonate because the operation plate 30 needs to swing around the connecting shaft 35. The buckle 20 is composed of a small number of parts and can be easily integrally formed with a mold because of its simple structure.

Next, the operation of the hat shown in FIG. 3 will be described.
In order to adjust the hat size, the head periphery 3 in which the fingertip of one hand directly holds the exposed band 10 inside the head periphery 3 and the slide adjuster 8 is provided inside the fingertip of the other hand. Just hold your hand and bring your hands close together.

  By this operation, the size of the hat can be adjusted to be small, but even if both hands are pulled apart, the size of the hat does not increase due to the action of the slide adjuster 8 described later. In order to increase the size of the hat, the pressing portion 32 of the slide adjuster 8 may be pressed with a fingertip or the like.

In the state where the hat is attached in the present embodiment, the band 30 contacts the forehead but the hat does not contact, and a gap is formed between the forehead and the hat (see FIG. 5). Therefore, when outside air enters the inside of the cap from the gap 5, the outside air directly contacts the forehead, and the steamed air stored inside the cap body is accompanied by the outside air flow and exhausted from the gap to the outside of the cap body.
In addition, since the band 30 comes into contact with the forehead, there is an effect that the wearing comfort of the hat, in particular, the fit feeling is improved, and even when the one end central portion 4b of the collar portion 4 protrudes inside the hat. It becomes possible to prevent the forehead 4 from coming into contact with the forehead.
Furthermore, since the contact portion with the head hair is also a limited region, even if the hat is worn, the hair turbulence can be greatly reduced.

  In the present embodiment, an opening 41 is provided in the head periphery 3 corresponding to the pressing portion 32 of the slide adjuster 8, and a state in which the pressing portion 32 appears from the opening 41 is shown. Therefore, there is an effect that the disengagement operation between the band 10 and the buckle 20 becomes smooth.

  Next, the operation of the slide adjuster will be described. FIG. 4B shows a state where the band 10 is inserted into the insertion space 26 of the buckle 20 and the engagement claw 31 of the buckle 20 is engaged with the engagement groove 12 formed on the outer surface of the band 10. ing. The engagement groove 12 has a sawtooth cross-sectional shape in the sliding direction, that is, a tapered surface that gradually becomes deeper in the traveling direction of the band 10 and a wall surface that rises substantially perpendicularly from the deepest position.

  When the band 10 is made to enter the insertion space 26 of the buckle body 24 from the pressing portion 32 side (left side in FIG. 4 (2)), the upper surface of the band 10 comes into contact with the engaging claw 31 of the operation plate 30, It advances while pushing up one end of the operation plate 30 (the side where the engaging claws 31 are formed), and the approach / separation position of the band 10 with respect to the buckle 20 is adjusted. In this state, as shown in FIG. 4 (2), since the engaging claw 31 is engaged with and locked with the predetermined engaging groove 12, the band 10 can be advanced with respect to the buckle 20, but is retracted. It is impossible.

  On the other hand, in order to retract or pull out the band 10 from the buckle 20, if the pressing portion 32 of the operation plate 20 is lightly pushed down with a finger, the operation is performed around the connecting shaft 35 as shown in FIG. As a result of the rotation of the plate 30, the engaging claw 31 located on the opposite side is lifted and the engaging claw 31 is detached from the engaging groove 12, so that the band 10 can be freely slid. When the finger is released from the pressing portion 32, the pressing portion 32 returns to the original horizontal state due to the elasticity of the synthetic resin.

In the present invention, the slide adjuster 8 is not limited to the one having the above-described structure, and an engagement groove is provided in the band, and a hook of a buckle is elastically engaged with the groove, and the slide adjuster 8 operates in a direction substantially perpendicular to the band. Any structure may be used as long as it is a slide adjuster composed of a buckle and a band that can release the locked state at any time by a push button.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, it is also possible to integrally mold the head periphery 3 and the band 10 with a synthetic resin. In this case, the labor for fixing the band 10 to the head periphery 3 can be saved, and the band 10 can be securely fixed to the head periphery 3 so that the hat can be manufactured more easily.
