JP5498619B2 - Wig base - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a wig base in which artificial hair (artificial hair or human hair) is implanted to form a wig. More specifically, the present invention relates to a wig base that constitutes a wig to be worn so as to be placed on the own hair remaining on the wearer's head.

  Originally wigs have been used to hide the bald head. In such a wig, various ideas have been proposed in order to make the hairline look natural.

Patent Document 1 discloses that the leading edge of the wig base itself is formed into irregular irregularities. Patent Document 2 discloses that a corrugated member (wire or the like) is fixed to a front edge of a wig base with a support body.
All of these are devised to make the hairline of the wig look natural when the wearer's frontal head is bald and no self-hair remains or only a few remain.

On the other hand, apart from the original wigs described above, wigs have recently been used mainly by women in order to compensate for the lack of self-hair volume and to reduce the number of hair dyes to reduce damage caused by hair dyeing. Has increased. Such wigs are often called wigs.
Such a wig is different from the original wig that covers the buttocks in that the wig is mounted so as to be placed on the hair remaining to the extent that a wig is not necessarily required.

  The problem of the present invention is that, with regard to the wig base to be mounted on the remaining self-hair as described above, the boundary between the artificial hair planted on the base edge and the self-hair remaining on the head is naturally formed. To show.

According to the present invention, a wig base having the following features is provided. The wig base of the present invention is configured by implanting artificial hairs, and the wig is composed of “a base body to be worn on the wearer's head” and “the outer edge of the base body. `` A camouflage net placed so as to protrude outward beyond '', `` Linear member fixing sheet arranged on the camouflage net '' and `` Linear member fixing sheet meandering in a wavy manner A linear member having a shape-retaining property and a “reinforcing layer disposed on the outer edge of the base body above the linear member”. A certain distance (h) is secured from the lower surface of the base body to the lower surface of the linear member depending on the thicknesses of the “base body”, “camouflage net”, and “linear member fixing sheet”.
The “shape retention” refers to a property that allows the shape after deformation to be maintained to some extent when it is deformed by an external force.

  According to the wig base of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained because the space of the distance (h) exists. In other words, the own hair that exists directly under the edge of the wig base can secure a certain rise at the root, and as a result, the hair of the wig base is effectively effective from the outside by the raised hair. It is blocked and a natural appearance can be secured.

1 is a schematic plan view of a wig base according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded view schematically illustrating a laminated structure of the wig base in FIG. 1. The expanded sectional view which shows the frontal region side area | region about the 3-3 line cross section in FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of relative arrangement and dimensions of a linear member 40 with respect to a base body 10. The figure which shows the example of a variation of the base for wigs of this invention. The figure which shows the example of a variation of the base for wigs of this invention.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a wig base 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from above. On the wig base 1, artificial hair made of artificial hair or human hair is implanted to form a wig (not shown).

FIG. 2 is an exploded view schematically showing a laminated structure of the wig base 1 of FIG. In the figure, the base body 10 and other components are drawn flat. However, this is for the sake of simplicity of illustration, and in actuality, the base body 10 has a curved shape that fits the wearer's head. Although details will be described below, the camouflage net 20 is disposed on the outer edge of the base body 10, the linear member 40 is disposed thereon via the linear member fixing sheet 30, and the reinforcing layer 50 is disposed on the top. Is placed.

<Base body 10>
The base body 10 is a base of the wig base 1 and has a curved shape that fits the wearer's head. In the illustrated example, the base body 10 is entirely composed of a net material. However, a synthetic resin sheet or a combination of a net material and a synthetic resin sheet may be used. The net material has the advantage of being lightweight and highly breathable.

<< Camouflage Net 20 >>
3A, the camouflage net 20 is disposed on the outer edge of the base body 10 so as to protrude outward beyond the outer edge. The protrusion amount (g) is, for example, 1 to 2 mm.
Since the camouflage net 20 protrudes beyond the outer edge of the base body 10, it is possible to effectively prevent the edge of the base body 10 from being visually recognized from the outside. In consideration of such a purpose, the camouflage net 20 is preferably provided over the entire circumference of the base body 10, but in some cases, the camouflage net 20 may be provided only in a partial region of the outer peripheral edge.
The mesh shape of the net is not particularly limited, but a substantially hexagonal mesh having a high camouflage effect is preferable. In the illustrated embodiment, the camouflage net 20 has a two-layer configuration folded in a U-shaped cross section, but may have a single-layer configuration without folding.

<< Linear member fixing sheet 30, linear member 40 >>
On the camouflage net 20, a linear member 40 having shape retention is disposed via a linear member fixing sheet 30. The “shape retention” as used in the present invention refers to a property capable of maintaining the deformed shape to some extent when deformed by an external force. Such a property can be realized even with a wire made of a metal, a synthetic resin, or the like, but a diameter of 0.7 to 0. 0 made of a plastically deformable polyethylene material disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3582854 (patentee: Mitsui Chemicals). It is preferable to use a wire of about 9 mm.

First, the linear member fixing sheet 30 is disposed on the camouflage net 20, and the linear member 40 is disposed thereon. The linear member fixing sheet 30 is arranged to facilitate positioning of the linear member 40 with respect to the base body 10 and to secure a gap “h” to be described later (see FIG. 3B). Moreover, the linear member 40 is more stably fixed by the presence of the linear member fixing sheet 30.
For example, when the base body 10 is composed of a net material having a large mesh, by interposing a sheet 30 made of a net material having a smaller mesh, the sewing work of the linear member 40 becomes easy, It is fixed more stably. The linear member fixing sheet 30 is not necessarily a net material, and may be a sheet material (cloth, synthetic resin, etc.) without mesh. The net material has the advantage of being lightweight and highly breathable.

  In the illustrated example, the linear member 40 is disposed only in a region corresponding to the wearer's frontal region on the wig base 1. However, in the present invention, the arrangement position of the linear member 40 is not limited to a specific region, and can be set as appropriate. And the linear member fixing sheet 30 should just exist in the area | region where the linear member 40 is arrange | positioned at least.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the arrangement and dimensions of the linear members 40. The linear member 40 is meandering in a wavy shape, and a part (that is, a plurality of spaced apart mountain-shaped portions) protrudes outward beyond the front end edge of the base body 10 and the front end edge of the camouflage net 20. Are arranged to be.
In the example of FIG. 4, “a low mountain” and “a high mountain” repeatedly appear alternately. The folding pitch (a) of the meandering linear member 40 is 5 mm. Further, the protrusion amount (b) of the “tall mountain” is 3 mm, and the protrusion amount (c) of the “tall mountain” is 5 mm. Further, the linear member 40 enters and is held inward by a distance (d) of 10 mm from the edge of the base body 10 (a specific holding mode will be described later).
The above is only an example, and variations in each dimension, the number of peaks, and the height can be selected as appropriate.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the linear member 40 is disposed on the base body 10 via the camouflage net 20 and the fixing sheet 30. A certain distance (h) can be ensured up to the lower surface of the shaped member (40). The effect by this is demonstrated with reference to FIG.3 (c).

<Effects of distance h>
In FIG.3 (c), the base 1 for wigs and the own hair which remain | survives on a wearer's scalp are drawn together collectively (For simplifying illustration, the scalp is also drawn flatly and the own hair is partially shown. Drawing).
Due to the presence of the space of the distance (h), the own hair (X) existing just below the base edge for the wig can ensure a certain rising at the base. As a result, the base edge region (Y) is effectively blocked from the outside by the own hair (X), and a natural appearance can be ensured. In the figure, the artificial hair to be planted on the wig base is not drawn, but the artificial hair and the standing own hair can be mixed to give a natural appearance.
If there is no space of the above distance (h), since the hair does not rise directly under the wig base edge, the wig base edge cannot be effectively blocked from the outside by the hair. , Unnatural boundaries will be exposed.
The distance (h) is preferably within a certain numerical range (about 0.80 to 1.00 mm). This is because if (h) is too small, the own hair falls and an effective rising effect cannot be obtained, while if (h) is too large, the boundary between the base and the own hair becomes noticeable and unnatural.
In the drawings, the dimensions of each part are drawn larger than the actual dimensions in order to make the explanation clear and cheap.

<< Reinforcing layer 50 >>
A reinforcing layer 50 is disposed above the linear member 40 (see FIG. 2). The reinforcing layer 50 is disposed for the purpose of fixing the linear member 40 from above and reinforcing the periphery of the entire wig base including the linear member 40. However, depending on the case, the reinforcing layer 50 may be provided not only on the entire circumference of the wig base but only on a part of the region.
The material of the reinforcing layer 50 is not particularly limited as long as the above object can be achieved. In the manufacturing procedure exemplified below, the same net material as that of the base body 10 is used as the reinforcing layer 50. In this case, advantages of simplification of the manufacturing process and cost reduction are obtained.

《Example of production procedure》
An example of the manufacturing procedure of the wig base 1 will be described below.
(1) Two pieces of net material constituting the base body 10 are attached to the head plaster mold shaped the wearer's head, and the periphery is fixed with staples. It is the outer peripheral part that does not constitute the base body, and is cut off later).
In this state, the head gypsum mold is placed in a hot air dryer and heated, and the net material is shaped to fit the wearer's head shape.
Only one of the two net materials is removed, and only one is fixed on the head plaster mold (the removed one is used as a reinforcing layer 50 as will be described later). .

(2) An outline line corresponding to the final shape of the base body 10 is previously written in the head plaster mold. The camouflage net 20 is temporarily fixed along the outline line to the net material on the head plaster mold (the temporary fixing is performed using ultrasonic waves, gusset needles, or other appropriate means).
The net material is removed from the head plaster mold, and the camouflage net 20 is permanently fixed by sewing. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the camouflage net 20 protrudes from the edge of the base body 10 by a distance (g).

(3) After the camouflage net 20 is permanently fixed, the linear member fixing sheet 30 is disposed thereon and fixed by sewing. The sheet 30 is arranged so as not to protrude beyond the edge of the base body 10. This is to prevent the protruding camouflage net 20 from being hidden and to ensure its camouflage effect. And the linear member 40 is arrange | positioned on the sheet | seat 30 for fixation as shown in FIG. 4, and it fixes by sewing.
As already described, the fixing sheet 30 has the meaning of facilitating the fixing of the linear member 40 by arranging the fixing sheet 30. For example, when the base body 10 is composed of a net material having a large mesh, the sewing work of the linear member 40 is facilitated by interposing a sheet 30 made of a net material having a smaller mesh. Furthermore, the above-mentioned distance (h) can be ensured by interposing the fixing sheet 30.

(4) One of the net materials removed in (1) above is placed from above the linear member 40, the whole is fixed to the head gypsum mold with staples, and then fixed by sewing. After sewing and fixing, only the center region of the net material (only the inner peripheral side of the sewing position II described later) is cut out to form an annular reinforcing layer 50 over the entire circumference of the wig base. In other words, in this example, the base body 10 and the reinforcing layer 50 are made of the same net material, thereby reducing the manufacturing process and cost.

(5) In the above description, “camouflage net 20”, “linear member fixing sheet 30”, “linear member 40”, and “reinforcing layer 50” are fixed to “on base body 10” by sewing. However, it is preferable that the sewing positions are (or partially) over the entire circumference of the base at two sewing positions I and II shown in FIG. In the above example, each element is sewn separately, but it may be sewn at once after all of them are stacked.

  Thus, the wig base 1 is completed. A wig (not shown) is constructed by implanting artificial hairs or artificial hairs on the wig base 1. What is necessary is just to employ | adopt the generally known aspect suitably as a concrete planting method of artificial hair. For example, the artificial hair is implanted into the linear member 40 in the same manner as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-082566 by providing a main pseudo-hair 42 serving as a trunk and further branching from the main pseudo-hair 42. If the auxiliary pseudo hairs 43 are implanted as described above, a richer amount of hair can be realized (FIG. 4). In FIG. 4, only one main pseudo-hair and two sub-pseudo hairs are representatively drawn.

《Examples of variations》
In this invention, the specific size of the base 1 for wigs, and the aspect of the peak of the protruding linear member 40 are not limited to a specific thing, A various variation can be provided.
FIG. 5 shows a plan view and a perspective view of one such variation (variation B). The variation B shown in FIG. 5 has a maximum width L of about 12 cm and the number of peaks is nine. In addition, all five variations A to E including this are shown in FIG. Various variations other than those shown are possible.
