[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a hat size adjusting tool, one having a structure shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, for example, is known.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the size adjuster 10 is attached to a notch Ha for size adjustment formed in a peripheral portion of the cap H (a portion facing the occipital region), and one end thereof is provided. A female type adjusting band 11 sewn to the cutout portion Ha of the hat H, and a male type adjusting band 12 sewn at one end to the cutout portion Ha of the hat H and superimposable on the female type adjusting band 11. It is configured so that the degree of overlap between the two adjustment bands 11 and 12 can be adjusted.

Specifically, the female type adjusting band 11 is made of an elastically deformable synthetic resin material in the form of a thin thin plate, and through holes 11a capable of reducing and expanding the diameter are arranged at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction. Has been drilled. Further, the inner peripheral edge portion of the through hole 11a is formed thin so that the through hole 11a can be easily elastically deformed.

On the other hand, the male type adjusting band 12 is formed in a thin thin plate shape by an elastically deformable synthetic resin material, and the surface thereof can be inserted into each through hole 11 a of the female type adjusting band 11 and can be locked therein. The protrusions 12a are formed at the same intervals as the intervals of the through holes 11a and along the longitudinal direction. Further, each protrusion 12a has a columnar neck portion 12a 'which is inserted into each through hole 11a and a neck portion 12a' which is connected to the neck portion 12a 'and has a diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of each through hole 11a and each through hole 11a. And a disk-shaped head portion 12a ″ that can be locked to the inner peripheral edge portion.

In the size adjusting tool 10, when the protrusions 12a of the male adjusting band 12 are inserted into the through holes 11a of the female adjusting band 11, the heads 12a ″ of the protrusions 12a are removed. The female adjusting band 11 and the male adjusting band 12 are in a superposed state and cannot be separated from each other, so that the female adjusting band 11 and the male adjusting band 12 cannot be separated from each other. The width W of the cutout portion Ha of H can be kept constant, that is, the length of the peripheral portion of the hat H (size of the hat H) can be kept constant.

Further, in the above-mentioned state, when the distal end portion of the female type adjustment band 11 is picked with fingers and the female type adjustment band 11 is pulled apart from the male type adjustment band 12, the protrusions 12a And the inner peripheral edge portions of the through holes 11a are disengaged from each other, and the two adjusting bands 11 and 12 can be separated from each other.

In order to adjust the length of the peripheral portion of the hat H (size of the hat H), the degree of overlap between the female type adjusting band 11 and the male type adjusting band 12 is adjusted to adjust the cutout portion Ha of the hat H. The width W may be changed, and then both adjusting bands may be made inseparable by the projection 12a and the through hole 11a.

As described above, according to the size adjusting tool 10, the size of the hat H can be adjusted by changing the overlapping condition of the both adjusting bands 11 and 12, so that various kinds of hats H having different sizes can be manufactured. The same hat H can be worn by people with different head sizes without having to wear it.

The through hole 11a of the adjusting band 11 and the protrusion 12a of the male adjusting band 12 inserted into the through hole 11a are visible from the outside. As a result, there are problems such as poor appearance and poor design. Further, since the through hole 11a is formed in the female type adjusting band 11 located on the outer side, the area available when the surface of the female type adjusting band 11 is desired to be decorated with characters or patterns is reduced. As a result, there is a problem in that it is not possible to form characters or patterns of a desired size on the surface of the female type adjusting band 11, or it is not possible to continuously form a pattern or the like.

The present invention was created in order to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to have an excellent design property and to make effective use of the entire surface of the female type adjusting band. It is in providing hat size adjusters.

[0016]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 6 show a size adjusting tool 1 for a hat H according to the present invention. The size adjusting tool 1 has a size adjusting cutout Ha formed in a peripheral portion (a portion facing the back of the head) of the hat H. It is composed of a female type adjusting band 2 and a male type adjusting band 3 which are attached to each other so that they can overlap with each other. By changing the width W of the cutout portion Ha, the size of the hat H can be adjusted.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the female type adjusting band 2 is formed of an elastically deformable synthetic resin material (for example, nylon or the like) into a thin and thin plate shape. In this example, the length of the female type adjusting band 2 is selected to be 80 mm, the width thereof is 14 mm, and the thickness thereof is about 3 mm.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, recesses 2a capable of contracting and expanding are formed at equal intervals (every 9 mm intervals) along the longitudinal direction on the center line on the back surface side of the female type adjusting band 2. There is. As shown in FIG. 5, an annular locking groove 2b having a diameter larger than the inner diameter on the inlet side of the recess 2a is formed on the inner peripheral surface on the back side of each recess 2a.

Further, on the back surface side of the female type adjusting band 2, recessed portions 2 c are formed so that the periphery of each recess 2 a becomes a tubular shape, and substantially the entire front side side of the female type adjusting band 2 is formed. Has a decoration 2d such as characters and patterns (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

Then, a mounting piece 2e for mounting the female type adjusting band 2 to the cutout portion Ha of the hat H is integrally formed at the base end portion of the female type adjusting band 2. The attachment piece 2e is thin (thickness is about 1.5 mm) and formed in a substantially square shape.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the male adjusting band 3 is formed of an elastically deformable synthetic resin material (for example, nylon or the like) in a thin and thin plate shape. In this example, the length of the male type adjusting band 3 is 80 mm, the width is 14 mm, and the thickness is about 1.5 mm.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, on the surface of the male type adjusting band 3, there are provided projections 3a which can be fitted into and removed from the respective concave portions 2a of the female type adjusting band 2 at the same intervals as the intervals of the concave portions 2a. (9 mm intervals) and are formed along the longitudinal direction.

Each of the protrusions 3a has a cylindrical neck portion 3a 'fitted to the inlet side of each recess 2a and a diameter larger than the inner diameter of each recess 2a on the inlet side, which is connected to the neck portion 3a'. And a substantially disk-shaped head 3a ″ that is locked in the locking groove 2b of each recess 2a in a fitted state.

Further, a decoration 3 b having the same pattern as the pattern formed on the surface of the female type adjusting band 2 is provided on the surface side of the male type adjusting band 3. Therefore, even when the female type adjusting band 2 and the male type adjusting band 3 overlap with each other in a shifted state, the same pattern can be seen in a substantially continuous state on the surface side of both adjusting bands 2 and 3. As a result, even if the two adjustment bands 2 and 3 overlap with each other in a shifted state, there is not much discomfort.

A mounting piece 3c for mounting the male adjusting band 3 to the cutout portion Ha of the cap H is integrally formed at the base end of the male adjusting band 3. The attachment piece 3c is thin (thickness is about 1.5 mm) and is formed in a substantially square shape.

In the female type adjusting band 2 and the male type adjusting band 3, the inner diameter on the inlet side of each recess 2a, the size and inner diameter of the locking groove 2b of each recess 2a, and the locking groove 2b are formed. The position, the diameter of the neck portion 3a ′ of each protrusion 3a, the size and outer diameter of the head 3a ″ of each protrusion 3a, the height of each protrusion 3a, etc., are determined when the protrusion 3a is inserted into the recess 2a. The head 3a ″ can be smoothly inserted into the concave portion 2a, and when the protrusion 3a is completely inserted into the concave portion 2a (the back surface of the female type adjusting band 2 and the surface of the male type adjusting band 3 come into contact with each other). When the neck 3a 'of the projection 3a is fitted to the entrance side of the recess 2a, the head 3a "of the projection 3a is fitted and locked in the locking groove 2b. Each is selected so that it cannot be easily removed.

The female type adjusting band 2 is arranged so that the cutout portion Ha formed in the peripheral portion of the hat H (the portion facing the occipital region) is provided with the decoration 2d so that the surface side faces outward. It is attached to the hat H by sewing the attachment piece 2e of 1 to one corner of the cutout portion Ha. Further, the male type adjusting band 3 is arranged so that the front surface side where the projection 3a is formed in the cutout portion Ha of the hat H faces outward, and the attachment piece 3b is sewn to the other corner portion of the cutout portion Ha. Is attached to the hat H. At this time, it goes without saying that both the adjusting bands 2 and 3 can be polymerized and the degree of overlap can be adjusted.

In order to adjust the size of the hat H using the size adjuster 1, the female type adjusting band 2 is used so that the length of the peripheral portion of the hat H matches the size of the head of the person wearing the hat H. The degree of overlap of the male type adjustment band 3 is changed so that the two adjustment bands 2 and 3 cannot be detached by the projection 3a and the recess 2a.

That is, after changing the overlapping state of the female type adjusting band 2 and the male type adjusting band 3, the respective protrusions 3 a of the male type adjusting band 3 are inserted into the respective concave portions 2 a of the female type adjusting band 2. Then, the inlet side of each recess 2a elastically deforms in the direction of expanding the diameter, and the heads 3a ″ of each protrusion 3a are sequentially inserted into the recess 2a. At this time, the periphery of each recess 2a is formed into a cylindrical shape. Since it is formed, the periphery of the recess 2a is easily elastically deformed, and the head 3a ″ of the protrusion 3a can be smoothly inserted into the recess 2a.

When the entire protrusion 3a is completely inserted into the recess 2a, the back surface of the female type adjusting band 2 and the front surface of the male type adjusting band 3 are brought into contact with each other, and the head portion 3a ″ of the protrusion 3a is locked. As a result, the protrusions 3a are prevented from coming off from the recesses 2a, and the female type adjusting band 2 and the male type adjusting band 3 are in a superposed state and cannot be separated. The adjuster 1 can keep the width W of the cutout portion Ha of the hat H constant, that is, the length of the peripheral portion of the hat H (size of the hat H) can be kept constant.

Further, in the above-mentioned state, when the distal end portion of the female type adjusting band 2 is picked with a finger and the female type adjusting band 2 is pulled away from the male type adjusting band 3, the protrusions 3a are separated from each other. The engagement between the recesses 2a and the engagement groove 2b is released, and the two adjustment bands 2 and 3 can be easily separated.

In this way, the degree of overlap between the female type adjustment band 2 and the male type adjustment band 3 is appropriately changed so that the adjustment bands 2 and 3 are not detachable by the projection 3a and the concave portion 2a. The width of the cutout portion Ha of the hat H changes, and the length of the peripheral portion of the hat H (size of the hat H) can be freely adjusted.

Since the size adjusting tool 1 has the concave portion 2a formed on the back surface side of the female type adjusting band 2, the female type adjusting band 2 is positioned outside when the female type adjusting band 2 and the male type adjusting band 3 are superposed. The entire surface of the mold adjusting band 2 can be effectively used. As a result, it is possible to form characters and patterns of a desired size on the surface of the female adjustment band, which makes it look good and has excellent design.

In the above example, the locking groove 2b is fitted in the recess 2a of the female adjusting band 2, and the projection 3a of the male adjusting band 3 is fitted and locked in the locking groove 2b. Although the heads 3a "are formed respectively, in another example, the locking groove 2b of the recess 2a and the head 3a" of the protrusion 3a are omitted, and the recess 2a and the protrusion 3a are straightened. It may be formed. In this case, it is necessary to make the outer diameter of the protrusion 3a and the inner diameter of the recess 2a substantially the same so that the protrusion 3a does not easily come out of the recess 2a when the protrusion 3a is fitted into the recess 2a.

In the above example, the recesses 2a of the female type adjusting band 2 and the protrusions 3a of the male type adjusting band 3 are formed at intervals of 9 mm, but in other examples. The interval between each recess 2a and each projection 3a may be wider or narrower than the above example. In addition, when the interval between each recess 2a and each projection 3a is narrowed, the size of the hat H can be finely adjusted, which is extremely convenient.

In the above example, only the pattern was formed on the surface side of the female type adjusting band 2, but in other examples, the pattern and characters are formed on the surface side of the female type adjusting band 2. Both may be formed or only letters may be formed.

In the above example, the pattern is formed on the surface of the male adjusting band 3, but in other examples, the pattern of the male adjusting band 3 may be omitted. .

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, in the size adjusting tool according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the female adjusting band and the male adjusting band are superposed, the concave portion is formed on the back surface side of the female adjusting band located outside. Therefore, the entire surface of the female type adjusting band can be effectively used. As a result, it is possible to form characters and patterns having a desired size on the surface of the female type adjusting band, which makes it look good and has excellent design.

In addition to the above effects, the size adjuster according to the second to fourth aspects of the present invention can exert the following effects. That is, in the size adjuster according to claim 2, a locking groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface of each recess of the female adjustment band, and the locking groove is locked at the tip of each protrusion of the male adjustment band. Since the head is formed so as to be fitted and locked in the groove, the projection cannot be easily pulled out from the recess when they are fitted together. As a result, the female type adjusting band and the male type adjusting band can be reliably and satisfactorily held in a polymerized state.

Further, in the size adjuster according to the third aspect, since the periphery of each recess of the female type adjustment band is formed into a tubular shape, when the protrusion of the male type adjustment band is inserted into each recess. The inner peripheral edge of the recess is easily elastically deformed, and the protrusion can be easily and easily inserted into the recess.

Further, in the size adjusting tool of claim 4, since the female type adjusting band is provided with decorations such as letters and patterns on substantially the entire surface side, it should be further improved in design. You can
