Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a headband using synthetic fibers having excellent sweat absorption and quick drying properties.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Headbands are a kind of traditional accessory in Japan and have been used to unify the spirit. In recent years, headbands have been widely adopted in the field of sports, and have a function of absorbing sweat that can be seen in addition to uniting the spirit. Headbands are worn around the forehead of a person, so giving priority to giving a gentle touch to the skin is preferred. Cotton is also used heavily. And it is common to fasten it to an occipital region by making it a belt of appropriate length. However, cotton has the disadvantage that even if it absorbs sweat, it releases moisture slowly and becomes moist, so that discomfort remains. In addition, since it is tied to the back of the head, it suppresses the hair and may slip or loosen. The present invention is proposed in view of these points.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The problem to be solved is to provide a headband that promotes sweat absorption and moisture release.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The headband of the present invention uses a knitted fabric knitted in a tubular shape using polyester fibers having a modified cross section, particularly a polyester fiber having a W or C cross section. Such fibers are marketed under the trade name Technofine (made by Asahi Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.), and have excellent water absorption and quick diffusion of the absorbed water to release into the air, so that the skin becomes dry even when sweating. There is a characteristic that makes it feel like. Since it is knitted in a tubular shape, it is characterized in that the fabric is not entangled in the width direction or the length direction specific to the knitted fabric, and a stable form of headband can be provided.

[0005] The knitted fabric used for the headband of the present invention is subjected to false twist processing on the polyester fiber having the W-shaped or C-shaped cross-sectional shape and heat-set to form a fiber having a large elongation and a bulkiness. The knitted yarn is knitted into a tubular shape and used. After knitting into a cylindrical shape, it was flattened and stretched to form a double structure, so insert a heartwood inside, fix granular materials that stimulate the forehead, or insert various objects depending on the application. be able to.

[0006] Further, using a circular knitting machine or a sock knitting machine as a knitting means, the processed yarn is knitted in a tubular shape by using a knitting yarn and an elastic yarn as an insertion yarn. This makes it possible to provide appropriate stretchability due to the elasticity of the processed yarn in the hand direction when the head is wound, and to use the rubber yarn or polyurethane fiber as the elastic yarn in the width direction to adhere to the curved surface of the forehead. Make the configuration easy to use. As an example, a rubber knitting structure is knitted using a milling machine, and natural rubber yarn is used as an insertion yarn. On the machine, the stitch yarn and elastic yarn are stretched, but the knitted fabric removed from the machine shrinks and becomes stable, and the stitch exhibits a bulky pile shape and stretches in the width direction. A strip having a property is obtained. It should be noted that not only polyester fibers of irregular cross-section but also other spun yarns are used for the stitch yarns to give the knitted fabric a sense of volume. In this case, the spun yarn can be dyed to provide headbands having various colors regardless of the size of the production lot.

[0007] The knitted fabric knitted in a cylindrical shape is cut into a predetermined length, the cut surface is folded inside the tube, and the open end of the tube is pushed flat, and the knitted fabric on the open end side overlaps. The portions are sewn together to form a band, and the band is attached in an annular shape with surface fasteners attached to both ends of the band. Adjusting the length of the headband is facilitated by joining with a hook-and-loop fastener.

[Embodiment of the invention] 【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the headband 1 of the present invention. Reference numeral 2 denotes a knitted fabric, and 3a and 3b are sewn to both ends of the knitted fabric with hook-and-loop fasteners, and are tightly fixed to each other to form an annular body, which is used as a headband. The knitted fabric 2 is knitted into a tubular shape by a milling knitting machine (pot diameter 4.5 ″, number of stitches 120.) An example is shown below: Yarn used Denier / Counter Mixing ratio (%) Remarks Techno Fine 150d / 1 20 Stitch yarn Ester spun yarn 20/1 59 Stitch yarn Natural rubber yarn 14 Insert yarn Same as above Covering yarn Ester 75d / 1 7 Technofine used here is a polyester synthetic fiber with an irregular cross section manufactured by Asahi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. The fiber 4 used in the present invention is a W-shaped cross-section and is schematically shown in Fig. 2 as a schematic cross-sectional view, and a C-shaped cross-section is also used. It is a fiber that absorbs a large amount of moisture, such as water, and is highly sweat-absorbing and quick-drying. Having a household. Ester spun yarn was knitted as stitch yarns both dyed mauve.

The knitting structure constituting the knitted fabric of the present invention is a rubber knitting structure 5 knitted by a milling machine, and an example is shown in FIG. Techno fine and ester spun yarns are used for the stitch yarn 6, but each wale has alternately arranged top stitches and back stitches every other row, and has elasticity in the knitting width direction. Furthermore, since natural rubber yarn covered with synthetic fiber was used as the insertion yarn 7, each yarn is elongated on the machine, but when taken out as a knitted fabric, the insertion yarn shrinks and the stitch yarn becomes bulky in a pile shape. become. Therefore, the width of the knitted fabric is stable, and in the longitudinal direction, the stretchability of the false-twisted Technofine itself is also taken into consideration, so that the knitted fabric has an appropriate stretch property, and when used in a headband, a pleasant tightening feeling is generated. Since the forehead has a delicate curved surface, stretchability in the width direction is also added, and good fit without shape collapse is brought. In addition, a polyurethane elastic fiber or the like is preferably used as the insertion yarn. The knitting structure is not limited to the above structure, and a knitting structure by a smooth knitting machine or the like may be used.

[0010] The knitted fabric as described above is cylindrical, and in order to form a headband, first, the knitted fabric is cut into a predetermined length, flattened and stretched into a belt-like body, and the cut cross-sections at both ends are turned inward. After that, hook-and-loop fasteners are overlapped at two end portions of the belt-shaped body and sewn together with the knitted fabric. The hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the side where the belt-like body is in close contact with each other when the belt-like body is formed into an annular shape. The completed headband 1 is as shown in FIG. Therefore, since the headband has a hollow double structure, it is possible to attach a granular material for promoting stimulation to the heartwood or forehead before sewing the hook-and-loop fastener.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the headband of the present invention is rich in sweat absorption and quick-drying, gives a rich feeling to the forehead, has the ability to adjust the length with the hook-and-loop fastener, and has an appropriate tightening feeling in combination with the elasticity of the knitted fabric, Effective for mental unity. It is possible to provide a headband suitable for study or sports. Since the tubular knitted fabric is flattened and stretched into a belt shape, a stable form without knitting of the end portion unique to the knitted fabric can be maintained.
