Description

  The present invention relates to a hat provided with a slide adjuster and having sufficient 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, one end of the belt for adjusting the length is sewn to the inner peripheral end of the crown, and the other end protrudes outward from the other peripheral side of the crown and is connected to the adjuster. Since the adjuster is exposed to the outside of the hat, there is a possibility that the adjuster may malfunction or break down due to the body or foreign matter hitting this part, and the appearance of the adjuster is not good.

  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.

  The present invention provides a hat in which the slide adjuster does not appear at all in appearance, but can be easily adjusted in size with the hat attached, and has improved breathability.

  The cap of the present invention is a cap provided with a slide adjuster, and the slide adjuster comprises a synthetic resin band and a buckle, and the engagement claw of the buckle is engaged with a serrated engagement groove formed on the outer surface of the band. In this locked state, the band is accessible to the buckle but cannot be retracted. The buckle is composed of an opposing bottom plate, a ceiling frame, and both side plates connecting the two, and the inside is a band insertion space. A main body, and a pressing portion that is horizontally installed on the inner side of the ceiling frame, has an engaging claw engageable with the engaging groove of the band on the lower surface of the one end portion, and releases the other end portion of the engagement The operation plate swings around the intermediate point by being supported by a connecting shaft connecting the both side plates or the ceiling frame at the intermediate point between the engaging claw and the pressing portion. It ’s free, When the child is attached, the slide adjuster comes into contact with the forehead but the front part of the cap body does not come into contact, so that a gap is formed between the forehead and the front part of the cap body, and the buckle is pressed. The band and the buckle are fixed to the head periphery so that the portion faces the outside of the hat at any position of the gap.

The ceiling frame is constituted by a flat plate, and the ceiling frame facing one end of the operation plate extends horizontally in the direction opposite to the operation plate, and the buckle is fixed to the head periphery via the ceiling frame. It is preferred that
The length of the bottom plate in the longitudinal direction is longer than the length of the ceiling frame in the longitudinal direction, and a slide guide for guiding the slide of the band is provided on the bottom plate, and the buckle is fixed around the head via the bottom plate. It is preferred that

It is preferable that the buckle is fixed to the head circumference portion so that the pressing portion is located at an intermediate portion of the gap.
It is preferable that the height of the pressing portion is set to be the same as or lower than the ceiling frame.
It is preferable that a latching portion capable of pulling the buckle and the band with one fingertip is provided on the outer surface of the buckle and the band.

A collar is provided at the front lower end of the head periphery, and the front part of the head periphery is formed with an inclined surface that extends in the outer direction of the cap toward the lower end, and the front lower end of the head periphery is the collar Is connected to both sides of one end of the heel but is not connected to the center of one end of the buttock, thereby providing a gap between the buttock and the head periphery. It is preferable to be located inside the cap from the front lower end.

  The cap according to the present invention can secure a gap between the front portion of the cap body and the forehead, so that outside air is introduced through the gap and directly touches the forehead of the wearer. In addition, since the slide adjuster does not appear at all in the appearance of the hat, the degree of freedom in design is improved. Furthermore, the size can be easily adjusted with the cap attached by inserting one hand into the gap and operating the slide adjuster.

It is the perspective view which looked at the hat drawn by seeing through the slide adjuster provided inside the hat of the present invention from the upper left front part. It is a top view (FIG. 2 (1)) of the slide adjuster which consists of a band and a buckle, and the vertical side view (FIG. 2 (2), (3)) in the zz cutting | disconnection line. It is a vertical side view which shows the wearing state of the cap shown in FIG. It is a bottom view 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 seeing through the slide adjuster provided inside the hat seen from upper left front part. It is a vertical side view which shows the wearing state of the cap which shows another embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a cap provided with a slide adjuster according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 (1) is a perspective view of a hat drawn through the slide adjuster, which is a main part of the present invention, as seen from above the left front part, and shows a cap body 2, a head periphery 3 and a buttocks constituting the hat. 4 is shown.

As will be described later with reference to FIG. 2, the slide adjuster 8 provided in the cap is composed of a band 10 and a buckle 20. Each of them is fixed to the head periphery 3 so that a gap 5 is formed between them. Further, the buckle 20 is fixed to the head periphery 3 via the ceiling frame 22 so that the disengaging pressing portion 32 faces the outside of the cap body 2 at any position of the gap 5. In the present embodiment, the buckle 20 is installed so that the pressing portion 32 is located in the middle portion of the gap 5.
The fixing means for the band 10 and the buckle 20 is usually preferably by sewing, but is not limited to this, and fixing means using caulking and double-sided tape can also be adopted.

Next, the slide adjuster 8 will be described with reference to FIG.
2 shows a slide adjuster composed of a band 10 and a buckle 20. FIG. 2 (1) is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 2 (2) is a longitudinal side view taken along the line zz of FIG. 2 (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 head periphery 3. Thereby, the hat according to the present invention can be mass-produced without labor and cost.
In FIG. 2, 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. Moreover, although the height of the press part 32 was made the same height as the ceiling frame 22, there is no special restriction | limiting in the height of the press part 32, and it mentions later, if the height of the press part 32 is set higher than the ceiling frame 22. While the operation of releasing the engagement becomes easy, if the height of the pressing portion 32 is set lower than the ceiling frame 22, it is possible to prevent the engagement from being inadvertently released.

In FIG. 2, 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. By extending the ceiling frame 22, it is possible to fix the buckle 30 so that the pressing portion 32 of the buckle 30 is positioned in the middle portion of the gap 5 at the front portion of the hat. The position of the pressing portion 32 is not particularly limited as long as it is in any position of the gap 5, but the intermediate portion of the gap 5 is the place where the gap 5 is the widest. If the buckle is fixed so as to be positioned, the disengagement operation becomes easy. Moreover, if the pressing part 32 is located in the intermediate part of the said clearance gap 5, it will become possible to recognize the position of the pressing part 32 in the state which covered the cap.
Further, 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. So it 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 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.

  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 slide adjuster will be described. FIG. 2 (2) 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. 2 (2)), the upper surface of the band 10 comes into contact with the engagement 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. 2 (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.

Next, the operation of the hat according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional side view showing a wearing state of the hat shown in FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the cap shown in FIG.
In the state where the hat is attached, a gap 5 is formed between the frontal head and the front part of the cap body. Therefore, the outside air W from the front of the hat passes along the lower part of the heel part 4 from the gap 5 to the cap. Introduced inside.

  According to the present invention, a large amount of outside air W flowing into the hat from the gap 5 along the collar 4 directly contacts the forehead, which is the most sensitive part to the cool air in the head of the person wearing the hat. The cooling effect is extremely excellent in terms of experience.

In order to adjust the hat size, it is only necessary to insert one hand into the gap 5 while wearing the hat and draw the band 20 and the buckle 10 exposed inside the head periphery 3 with the fingertip of one hand. By this operation, the size of the cap can be reduced, but the size of the cap does not increase due to the action of the slide adjuster 8 even if the hand is released. FIG. 4A is a bottom view showing a state in which the size of the hat is reduced.
According to the hat of the present invention, the size can be adjusted with the other hand while holding the cap body 2 with one hand, so that the hat can be surely fitted to the head. Although not shown in the drawings, the size adjustment can be facilitated by providing a latching portion that can pull the buckle 20 and the band 10 with the fingertips of one hand on the outer surfaces of the buckle 20 and the band 10.

  In order to increase the size of the hat, it is only necessary to insert one hand into the gap 5 while wearing the hat and press the pressing portion 32 of the slide adjuster 8 with a fingertip or the like. Therefore, the wearer of the hat can easily loosen the slide adjuster fitted to the head by simply pressing the pressing portion 32 with a fingertip or the like. FIG. 4B is a bottom view showing a state in which the size of the hat is increased.

In the hat of the present invention, since the slide adjuster does not appear at all in the appearance, the degree of freedom in design is improved. In addition, since the band 10 comes into contact with the forehead, there is an effect that the wearing comfort of the hat, particularly the fit feeling is improved.
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.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a hat drawn through the slide adjuster with respect to the hat of the present embodiment as seen from the upper left front part.
In the present embodiment, the length of the bottom plate 21 in the longitudinal direction is longer than the length of the ceiling frame 22 in the longitudinal direction, and the buckle 20 is fixed so that the pressing portion 32 is positioned at the end of the gap 5.
The bottom plate 21 is provided with a slide guide 21 a for guiding the slide of the band 10. The shape of the slide guide 21a is not particularly limited, and any shape that can guide the band 10 to slide along the bottom plate 21 may be used.

Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a longitudinal side view showing a wearing state of the hat of this embodiment.
In this embodiment, the heel part 4 is provided at the front lower end of the head periphery 3, and the cap body 2 is connected to the upper end of the head periphery 3. 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 6 is provided between the collar part 4 and the head periphery part 3. FIG.
According to the hat of the present embodiment, a hat having a gap 6 between the front part 3a and the collar part 4 of the head periphery 3 can be easily manufactured simply by connecting the cap body 2 to the upper end of the head periphery 3. be able to. If at least the front part 3a and the collar part 4 of the head periphery part 3 are integrally molded using a synthetic resin such as polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, ABS resin, the gap 6 is reliably secured in the front part of the cap. be able to.

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 6.
According to the present embodiment, a large amount of outside air W that flows into the inside of the hat from the gap 6 along the heel part 4 directly contacts the forehead that 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 periphery, the cooling effect is extremely excellent in terms of bodily sensation. Further, the steamed air stored in the cap body is accompanied by the external airflow and exhausted from the gap 5 to the outside of the cap body.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment concerning a cap provided with a slide adjuster was described, the cap concerning the present invention can be applied widely, such as not only a cap but hunting, a cassette.
