Description

  The present invention relates to a wig base in which artificial or natural artificial hair is planted to constitute a wig. The wig base of the present invention is a person in which part or all of the hair of the head is depilated due to an innate factor or an acquired disease treatment, and the head dimension changes due to increase or decrease in the amount of hair in the treatment process. Suitable for making whole-headed wigs to wear.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a wig base of an all-headed wig manufactured by ready-made or custom-made is generally a hat-like shape having a peripheral edge that matches the shape of the head. Such a wig base is generally formed by using a fabric woven in the form of a mesh made of synthetic fibers, dividing the head rest into several parts, and joining these parts.

For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-86109, a wig with a feeling of wearing is attached to a side protector of a wig base with a metal or resin ear core for the purpose of adapting to the wearer's head shape and head size. The rise of the protector is suppressed.
In Patent Document 1, a rigid member such as a metal wire or a plastic material, or a steel material is inserted into a “hole” along the shape of the ear of the wig base so that the wig base does not float from the scalp. Curing is performed to suppress the elongation and deformation of the “bored portion”.

In the wig of Patent Document 2, a plurality of thin wire rods are arranged in a width shape and formed into a curved shape to form a bone, and this bone is arranged so as to be in pressure contact with a position corresponding to a recess of a nape portion. This prevents the nape from lifting and improves the feeling of the foot to the head.
In the wig of Patent Document 3, a part of the side part of the wig base, a part of the side protector connected to the front side of the side part, or the central region of the nape part is formed with an elastic net such as polyurethane, Prevents sliding up.

In the wig of patent document 4, the wig is used by using a wig base formed entirely in a hat shape so as to match the shape of the head, and an adjuster is provided at the nape portion of the wig base, and the length of the adjuster is adjusted. The base is fitted to the wearer's head shape.
Further, Patent Document 5 discloses a wig that eliminates the lifting and sliding of the nape part and the side part to obtain a comfortable wearing feeling.

  As described above, various contrivances have been proposed for the wig base for the purpose of enhancing the wearing feeling by fitting the head shape of the wearer. An object of the present invention is to provide a wig base that can obtain a high fit with a new configuration that is not found in a conventional wig base.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

  The wig base of the present invention comprises a wig with artificial hairs planted, and has a “substantially H-shaped stretchable region”. In the present invention, the “substantially H shape” means a shape including “a central region” and “four protrusions extending outward from the central region”. Since the stretchable region has such a shape, a high fit can be realized by effectively absorbing all external forces in front and rear, right and left, and oblique directions acting on the wig base in a worn state.

  The material constituting the stretchable region is not limited to a specific material as long as it can stretch, but it is preferable to use a mesh material.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the “central region” of the stretchable region extends so as to cover the head golden point of the wig wearer.
The amount of expansion / contraction of each part in the elastic region is proportional to the area, and the amount of expansion / contraction is the largest in the “central region” where the area is large, and the amount of expansion / contraction is small in the “projection”. On the other hand, in general, a human head has the widest back of the head where golden points exist.
Therefore, a higher fit can be realized by matching the “center area” with the largest expansion / contraction amount to the golden point. In this case, if the “protruding portion” is tapered toward the tip, the amount of expansion and contraction gradually decreases toward the tip, so that an excellent fit can be realized.

The figure explaining the wig base which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. The figure explaining the variation example of the shape about the substantially H-shaped elastic region.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a wig base 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the side surface of the wig base 1 and FIG.

《Basic structure of wig base》
The wig base 1 is comprised from each area | region (part) demonstrated below, and these are comprised by sewing suitably. Although not shown in the figure, artificial hair or natural artificial hair is planted on the wig base 1 to form a wig product.
(A)
A substantially H-shaped stretchable region 10 extending over the wearer's head golden point (GP). The meaning of “substantially H shape” in the present invention will be described later.
(B)
A frontal region 11 that is stitched to the stretchable region 10 and extends toward the wearer's frontal region.
(C)
A occipital region 12 that is stitched to the stretchable region 10 and extends to the occipital region of the wearer.
(D)
A nape region 13 that is sewn to the occipital region 12 and covers the wearer's neckline.
(E)
A temporal region 14 that is stitched to the stretchable region 10 and covers the vicinity of the wearer's temporal region.
(F)
A side protector 15 that is sewn to the temporal region 14 and located in front of the wearer's ear.

In addition, the wig base 1 has the same temporal region 14 and the side protector 15 also in the side surface on the opposite side to Fig.1 (a).

  The configuration of each of the above parts is merely an example. In this invention, the wig base 1 should just be provided with the stretchable area | region 10 of "substantially H shape", and the specific structure of another site | part can be employ | adopted suitably. In addition, although not shown, an appropriate adjuster mechanism for adjusting the peripheral length of the peripheral portion of the wig base may be provided.

<< Material constituting stretchable region 10 >>
The stretchable region 10 is sufficient if it has stretchability (elastic deformation), and its specific material and structure are not limited to a specific one. For example, it is preferable to use a mesh material using spandex (polyurethane elastic fiber) to give stretchability, but a resin or other material may be used.
In addition, each part other than the stretchable region 10 preferably has a predetermined stretchability.

《Golden Point》
The golden point (GP) is a term often used in the barber industry and the like, and as shown in FIG. 1 (a), a virtual line (A) connecting the tip of the chin (A) and the upper part of the ear (B) L) refers to a point where the head (human body) intersects the center plane that divides the head into left and right.
In addition, in FIG.1 (b), the point GP shown in the elastic | stretch area | region 10 shows the location which corresponds to a head golden point at the time of wig wearing.

<< The meaning of the approximately H shape >>
In the present invention, the stretchable region 10 has a “substantially H shape” including a “central region” and “four protrusions extending outward from the central region”. The range that this means will be described with reference to FIG.
Fig.2 (a) is the figure which looked at the wig base 1 of FIG. 1 from right above. Only the stretchable region 10 is taken out and illustrated on the right side in the figure. The stretchable region 10 includes a central region 10a and projecting portions 10b, 10c, 10d, and 10e extending outward therefrom.
Because of having such a shape, it is possible to effectively absorb all external forces in front and rear, right and left, and oblique directions that act on the wig base 1 in a worn state, thereby realizing a high fit.

Various variations are conceivable as the “substantially H shape” capable of obtaining the same effect. For example, “i”, “b”, “c”, and “d” shown in FIG. 2B correspond to “substantially H shapes” as described above, but are not limited thereto. Absent.
In each illustrated example, the stretchable region 10 has a symmetrical shape in the vertical and horizontal directions in the figure, but need not be symmetrical as long as it includes four protrusions.

  In addition to the shape shown as an example, a shape having a central region serving as a base and four protrusions extending therefrom corresponds to the “substantially H shape” referred to in the present invention.

<< Position of substantially H-shaped stretchable area >>
In the present invention, the position and direction of the substantially H-shaped stretchable region 10 on the wig base 1 are arbitrary. However, the central region 10a of the stretchable region 10 preferably extends over the wearer's head golden point (GP). As described above, the golden point (GP) is a point where the imaginary line (L) connecting the tip of the chin (A) and the upper part of the ear (B) intersects the central plane that divides the head (human body) into left and right. Located slightly behind the top of the head.

In general, a human head has the widest occipital region where a golden point (GP) exists, and gradually narrows in the frontal direction toward the face and the occipital direction toward the neck. On the other hand, the amount of expansion / contraction of each part in the elastic region 10 is proportional to the area. For this reason, the amount of expansion / contraction is the largest in the central region 10a having a large area, and the amount of expansion / contraction is small in the protrusions 10b to 10e.
Therefore, by disposing the central region 10a with the largest expansion / contraction amount so as to cover the golden point (GP), it is possible to realize a high fit that matches the actual head shape.

  Particularly when the “substantially H-shaped” stretchable region 10 is placed in the center and the temporal region 14 is arranged on both sides thereof as in the illustrated embodiment, the part covering the golden point (GP) is the center. As a result, a plurality of parts are sewn around it. If the part (stretchable region 10) existing in the center is “substantially H-shaped”, there is an advantage that the shape of other parts can be easily determined and the manufacturing is easy.

《Tapered protrusion》
In FIG. 2B, in the shapes shown in “B” and “D”, the four protrusions of the stretchable region have a tapered shape having a sharp tip. The reason why such a tapered shape is excellent is as follows.
As described above, generally, the head of a person has the widest occipital region, and then narrows toward the frontal direction toward the face and the occipital direction toward the neck. And the amount of expansion / contraction of each part in the elastic region 10 is proportional to the area.
When the shape of the protrusions 10b to 10e is tapered, the expansion / contraction amount of the stretchable region 10 on the wig base accurately follows the head shape gradually narrowing toward the frontal direction and the occipital direction. As a result, a high fit can be realized.

  Furthermore, when the projecting portions 10b to 10e are tapered, there is an advantage that the stitching operation between the stretchable region 10 and other peripheral parts becomes easy.

《Thread used for sewing each part》
What is necessary is just to sew each part 10-15 which comprises a wig base by the appropriate method employ | adopted in this field | area. The most preferable aspect is to sew using a stretchable thread. Even if each part including the stretchable region 10 has stretchability, if the thread for stitching them does not have stretchability, the stretch is hindered at the stitched location. Such an inconvenience does not occur if the elastic thread is used for sewing.
