Description

The present invention provides a size tape for hats that can eliminate the discomfort caused by stuffy sweat by having both a sweat absorbing function that absorbs sweat from the head and a quick drying function that evaporates and quickly dries the moisture in sweat. This invention relates to hats and laminated fabrics for hats.

Hats generally consist of a crown and a brim. On the inside of the lower end (mouth) of the crown, a hat size tape (generally a "slip" (also called ``bottle leather'').

Hat size tapes are made of synthetic fibers such as cotton, rayon, viscose, and polyester, and high-quality materials such as leather are used for hats, but these tapes are not able to absorb sweat satisfactorily, and they do not absorb sweat well from the head. Sweat drips from the forehead, making the wearer feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, sweat stains are likely to form on the hat, and the fabric of the hat may deteriorate.

On the other hand, if the fabric is impermeable to moisture or has a structure that absorbs sweat and traps moisture, the moisture from sweat will remain in the cap size tape, causing stuffiness.

In order to solve such a problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a cap that removes the cap size tape portion of a normal cap and includes a vent member having an opening.

[Size tape for hats]
The cap size tape of the present invention includes a first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric, and a second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric disposed on the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric, and the width of the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric. is larger than the width of the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric, and when the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric is placed on the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric, both ends of the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric in the width direction The first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric is folded back to cover the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric to form two folded-back portions, and the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric and the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric are sewn or glued together with the folded-back portions. The two folded parts are not in contact with each other.

The size tape 41 for a hat shown in FIG. 1(b) will be explained.
The hat size tape 41 can be used for various hats as shown in FIG. be able to. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the cap size tape 41 is a band-shaped tape provided near the lower edge inside the crown portion 3, and is sewn or glued to part or all of the edge of the opening. be. Further, if necessary, the size may be adjusted using a hook-and-loop fastener or the like.

A cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the hat size tape 41 is as shown in FIG. It is composed of two water-absorbing and quick-drying fabrics 52, which are sewn together with threads 7.

Here, the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 is a fabric that has a water-absorbing surface that easily absorbs sweat from one side and a drying surface that dries the absorbed sweat from the other side. There are no particular limitations. For example, fabrics that create capillary action by making the cross-section of the fibers atypical, or using thick fibers on the water-absorbing side to absorb sweat water, and using thinner fibers on the opposite side to create capillary action. Examples include fabrics with a composite fiber structure that absorbs sweat and dries moisture easily. Further examples include fabrics whose water-absorbing surface is coated with a highly hydrophilic treated material.

The second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 may be the same fabric as the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 in terms of the structure and function of the fabric, or may be a different fabric.
The first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 and the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 may have different fabric weights, for example, even if they are made of the same material.
If the fabric weights are different, it is preferable that the fabric weight of the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 is smaller than that of the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51. By way of example only, the basis weight of the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 can be set to about 140 to 160 g/cm ³ , and the basis weight of the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 can be set to 110 to 130 g/cm ² . The second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 absorbs the fine water droplets formed by the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51, so even if a fabric with a low basis weight is used, the water absorption effect is small, and the hat This is because it is possible to reduce the weight of the size tape and make it highly quick-drying.
If necessary, water-absorbing and quick-drying fabrics with different water absorption rates can be used. In that case, the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 should have a lower water absorption rate than the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51. Can be used.

For specific examples of the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 and the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52, it is preferable to use chemical fibers such as polyester, such as "Field Sensor (registered trademark)" manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc. , "Sofista (registered trademark)" manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd., etc.
Preferably, Fieldsensor T474 is used as the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51, and Fieldsensor T431 is preferably used as the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52.

Another aspect of the hat size tape is a hat size tape 41A as shown in FIG. 2(b). The hat size tape 41A is attached to the second water-absorbing, quick-drying fabric 52 on the side opposite to the laminated surface of the second water-absorbing, quick-drying fabric 52 with the first water-absorbing, quick-drying fabric 51 (the water-absorbing surface of the second water-absorbing, quick-drying fabric 52). The functional auxiliary fabric 8 is further placed on the surface (the drying surface of the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52).
Although one or more functional auxiliary fabrics 8 can be arranged, FIG. 2(b) shows an example in which one functional auxiliary fabric 8 is arranged.
Generally, water-absorbing and quick-drying fabrics are used for sports/work clothing and underwear clothing, and are often made of thin and soft materials to improve comfort. 41, the hardness and strength may not be sufficient. In order to solve this problem, in addition to the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52, a functional auxiliary fabric 8 is further arranged to increase the strength of the cap size tape 41A while maintaining a high sweat absorption rate and high breathability. can be raised.
In addition, by providing the functional auxiliary fabric 8, the folds 51A and the second moisture-absorbing quick-drying fabric 52 do not come into contact with each other, making it easier for the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 to wick moisture more efficiently.
The type of functional auxiliary fabric 8 is not particularly limited, but in order to maintain the high sweat absorption rate and high breathability of the hat size tape of the present invention, mesh fabrics made of chemical fibers, etc. may be used, and mesh fabrics may be used. In this case, one with large eyes is preferably used.
As the functional auxiliary fabric 8, it is also possible to use a nonwoven fabric or fabric (hereinafter referred to as zeolite fabric) containing very fine particulate zeolite. By using zeolite fabric, it is expected that water absorption will further improve.
Further, as another embodiment of the functional auxiliary fabric 8, a nonwoven fabric or fabric (hereinafter referred to as activated carbon fabric) made of activated carbon-containing fibers can also be used. The use of activated carbon fabric can be expected to prevent odor caused by sweat.
For example, when two functional auxiliary fabrics 8 are used, one may be a mesh fabric and the other may be a zeolite fabric or an activated carbon fabric.
Note that the number of functional auxiliary fabrics 8 is not limited to one or two, and three or more may also be used. In the present invention, fabrics that lead to improved functionality other than the effects of zeolite fabrics and activated carbon fabrics can also be used instead of or in addition to them.

Yet another aspect of the present invention is a cap size tape 41B as shown in FIG. 2(c). In this case, an additional functional auxiliary fabric 6 is further provided on the folded portion 51A. By doing so, a new function can be added by the additional functional auxiliary fabric 6 while forming a gap α (see FIG. 4(c)), which will be described later.
As the additional functional auxiliary fabric 6, for example, tulle mesh fabric for hiding the folded portion 51A, zeolite fabric or activated carbon fabric described in the above-mentioned functional auxiliary fabric 8 can be used, and furthermore, zeolite fabric or activated carbon fabric can be used. It is also possible to use fabrics that lead to improved functionality other than the effects provided by activated carbon fabrics.
The additional functional auxiliary fabric 6 has a folded portion 61 of the additional functional auxiliary fabric as shown in FIG. Although the additional functional auxiliary fabric 6 can be folded inward and arranged as shown in FIG.

A method of overlapping the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 and the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 will be explained using the cap size tape 41A (the embodiment shown in FIG. 2(b)). As shown in FIG. 3, a strip-shaped first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 is arranged (FIG. 3(a)), and a strip-shaped second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 is placed on the drying surface of the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51. Deploy. At this time, the water-absorbing surface of the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 is placed in contact with the drying surface of the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 (FIG. 3(b)). Further, the length (width) perpendicular to the length direction of the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 is shorter than the length (width) perpendicular to the length direction of the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 . Next, the functional auxiliary fabric 8 is placed on the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 (FIG. 3(c)). At this time, from the viewpoint of ease of handling, it is preferable that the functional auxiliary fabric 8 and the second moisture-absorbing quick-drying fabric 52 have the same width. Then, with the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 and the functional auxiliary fabric 8 arranged, both ends of the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 in the width direction are folded back to cover the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 (see FIG. 3(d)), a folded portion 51A is formed, and the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 and the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 are sewn together with the thread 7 together with the two folded portions 51A. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the stitching with the thread 7 is performed at two locations, but the number is not limited to this, and the number can be increased as necessary. For example, the stitching can be performed at four locations. Further, although the parts are sewn together in the drawings, they may be adhered using an adhesive.
By doing so, the hat size tape 41 can be manufactured.

A method for arranging the hat size tapes 41, 41A, and 41B on the hat 1 will be explained. FIG. 4A shows a method of arranging the cap size tape 41, in such a way that the water-absorbing surface of the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 of the cap size tape 41 is in contact with the skin, that is, the folded portion 51A of the cap 1 is in contact with the skin. The hat opening 41 is placed on the opening of the hat 1 so as to be in contact with the crown portion 3, and is sewn or glued (note that the sewing thread is not shown in FIG. 4).
Note that at this time, a gap α as shown in FIG. 4 is formed. By providing such a gap α, the moisture of sweat can be more easily dissipated than when the second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 is directly placed on the fabric 3 of the crown portion 3, and the sweat absorption rate and breathability are increased. , the hat 1 can be worn very comfortably without sweaty stuffiness.

[Cap fabric laminate 42]
Further, the laminated hat fabric 42 composed of a first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 and a second moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 disposed on the first moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric can be used not only at the opening of the hat 1 but also at the opening of the hat 1. , it can be used for part or all of the inside of the crown part 3 of the hat 1.
The shape of the laminated hat fabric 42 does not need to be band-shaped, and is not particularly limited as long as it can be placed at a desired location inside the crown portion 3.
The structure of the laminated hat fabric 42 is that the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51 and the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 are simply overlapped and sewn together, but the functional auxiliary fabric 8 may be further layered. can. As already mentioned, as shown in FIG. 1(c), it may be provided on the entire inside of the crown part 3, or it may be provided on a part of the inside of the crown part 3.
Further, it may be placed at the opening of the crown portion 3 like a hat size tape.
Note that, in the same manner as the cap size tape 41, the water-absorbing surface of the second water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 52 is arranged so as to be in contact with the drying surface of the first water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric 51.
By forming the crown portion 3 in this manner, it is possible to reduce discomfort caused by stuffiness and sweat inside the crown portion 3.

The size tape for hats, hats, and laminated fabric for hats of the present invention can be used in the apparel industry.
