Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to hats, and in particular to hats that have a brim around the crown and can be folded into a small size.

PRIOR ART Conventionally, hats having a brim around a crown have typically had the crown and brim completely fixedly connected all around their circumferences. If the brim is wide and made of a material with some degree of rigidity to give it tension, such as a hat worn primarily for the purpose of This was not possible and inconvenient because the brim would have to be folded, resulting in irreparable creases.

Purpose of the invention Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hat having a brim around the crown so that it can be folded into a small size without the risk of creating creases in the brim, making it convenient to carry when not in use. It is something to do.

Structure of the Invention For this purpose, the present invention provides a cap having a brim around the crown, and the crown and the brim can be separated from each other with a fastener over almost the entire circumference except for fixed connection at a part of their periphery. A feature of the structure is that the brim is provided with a cut near the fixed connection portion with the crown, and the edges of the brim are separably connected to each other with a fastener.

According to the hat having this structure, the crown and the brim are separated from each other by operating a fastener that separably connects the crown and brim over almost the entire circumference except for a part of the fixed connection part around them, and The edges of the cut in the brim near the fixed connection part can be separated by operating the fastener that connects them in a separable manner. Fold the brim into a suitably small piece at one end of the separated brim, wrap the gathered crown inside, and wrap the brim around the brim from one end of the cut to the other end. It can be wound into a roll in the direction of
Through this winding, the brim is finally folded into a small truncated cone-shaped roll without creating any creases, and can be stored compactly in a bag, etc., making it very convenient to carry when not in use. It is what it is. In addition, when restoring the folded state to its original state and wearing it, the rolled brim is unwound and unfolded to its original state, and the separated part of the crown and brim that spans almost the entire circumference is tightened with a fastener. It is sufficient to connect the brim to its original state by operating the brim, and then connect the separated edges of the brim break to their original state by operating the fastener. In this restored state, the brim is rolled up in the circumferential direction without any creases, and then unfolded to its original state and connected to the crown over the entire circumference. Since the edges of the cuts are connected, the brim is kept in a stable state with the desired overall tension around the crown, and is completely fixed around the entire circumference of the conventional crown and brim. This means that it can be worn in the same way as a connected hat.

In a hat with this structure, the crown and brim are not completely separable, but are fixedly connected at a part of the periphery, and the cut in the brim is provided near the fixedly connected part. In addition to eliminating the risk of loss due to complete separation, the brim is wrapped in the circumferential direction by folding it together at one end edge of the break between the crown and brim during the folding operation, and wrapping the gathered crown inside. This is very advantageous in that it facilitates operation and facilitates the operation of connecting the separated portions of the crown and brim with fasteners during the restoration operation.

In this manner, according to the hat having this structure, the crown is foldably formed from a suitable flexible material such as woven fabric, knitted fabric such as lace, or flexible synthetic resin sheet, and the brim is formed to a certain extent. By forming the brim with a suitable material that has both appropriate rigidity and flexibility so that it can be rolled with tension, the brim can be made wide and tensioned. A cap that can be folded into a small size and carried without the risk of irreversible creases that would damage the tension, and is suitable and convenient as a hat for sun protection, etc. can be obtained. As the material for forming the brim, for example, a foamed synthetic resin sheet such as foamed polyethylene can be used.

In addition, the fasteners used for hats with this configuration are all sliding type, velvet type, and
Any type of fastener, such as a snap type or a button type, can be used as appropriate, but it is especially recommended to use a slide type fastener, which connects the crown and brim in a separable manner over almost the entire circumference. It's convenient.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The cap shown has a generally hemispherical crown 1 surrounded by a wide, generally annular brim 2. The crown 1 is made of a suitable foldable flexible material such as a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or a flexible synthetic resin sheet. The brim 2 is made of a material with appropriate rigidity and flexibility, such as a foamed synthetic resin sheet material such as foamed polyethylene resin, so that it has some tension and can be rolled, or It is formed by using such a material as a core material and covering it with cloth or the like.

The crown 1 and brim 2 of this hat are connected by connecting the periphery of the hem edge of the former and the corresponding periphery of the central opening serving as a head opening of the latter. In this connection, in this hat, the periphery of the hem edge of the crown 1 and the periphery of the center opening of the brim 2 are connected to each other at a single point by using only a part of their peripheries as a fixed connection part 3 and sewing them together at the part 3. It is fixedly connected. The circumference of the hem edge of the crown 1 and the circumference of the edge of the central opening of the brim 2 extending substantially all around the circumference except for the fixed connecting portion 3 are as follows:
Rather than being fixedly connected, they are separably connected to each other by providing a pair of fasteners 4a and 4b that can be engaged and disengaged with each other.

The above-mentioned fixed connection part 3 is preferably provided on the rear side of the hat, and the appearance is improved by adding a decoration such as a ribbon 5 to the part 3. Furthermore, it is convenient to apply a sliding type fastener that can be engaged and disengaged by sliding the slide operation element 4c as shown in the figure to the above-mentioned fasteners 4a and 4b, but the fasteners are not limited to this, and may be a velvet type or a snap fastener. Other types of fasteners may also be used, such as button-style fasteners.

Furthermore, the brim 2 of this hat has a cut in the radial direction that cuts across the width from the outer edge of the brim toward the central opening in the vicinity of the fixed connection part 3 with the crown 1. 6 is provided. As a result, one edge 6 of both edges 6a and 6b of the cut 6 provided in the brim 2
The fixed connecting portion 3 is located on the a side. Both end edges 6a and 6b of the cut 6 provided in the brim 2 are provided with a pair of fasteners 7a and 7b that can be engaged and disengaged with each other, so that the ends 6a and 6b of the cut 6 are connected to each other by the fasteners 7a and 7b. They are separably connected.

In addition to connecting the two ends 6a, 6b of the cut 6 with the fasteners 7a, 7b as shown in the figure, the two ends 6a, 6b
It is also possible to create an overlapping shape by allowing a length margin for overlapping. It is convenient to use velvet type fasteners as shown in the figure for the connecting fasteners 7a and 7b, but other types of fasteners such as snap type or button type slide type can also be used. You can also do it.

Note that a bottle skin 8 made of flexible cloth or the like is provided as necessary on the inner peripheral edge of the central opening serving as the head opening of the brim 2 of this hat.
separates at break 6 along with brim 2,
One of the two edges 8a, 8b in this separation part is made to protrude suitably long into a tongue shape, and these edges 8a, 8b are provided with fasteners 9a, 9b such as velvet type fasteners. It is convenient to be able to engage and connect them in an overlapping manner.

According to the hat with the above configuration, as shown in Figure 1,
The entire circumference of the crown 1 and brim 2 except for the fixed connection part 3 is connected with fasteners 4a and 4b, and the brim 2 is connected with fasteners 4a and 4b.
When the edges 6a and 6b of the cut 6 are connected with the fasteners 7a and 7b, the crown 1 and the brim 2 are in the same state as if they were fixedly connected over the entire circumference, and the brim 2 is endless. Since the brim 2 is in the same state as being annular, it can be worn on the head in this state to keep the brim 2 stably tensioned around the crown 1.

From this state, as shown in FIG. 2, the crown 1 and the brim 2 are separated by the detachment operation of the fasteners 4a and 4b over almost the entire circumference except for the fixed connecting portion 3, and the end of the cut 6 of the brim 2 is separated. When the edges 6a and 6b are separated by the detachment operation of the fasteners 7a and 7b, the crown 1 is attached to the fixed connecting portion 3 located on one edge 6a side of the separated cut 6 of the brim 2.
Brim 2 only in one point
It becomes connected to. Therefore, in this state, as shown in FIG. 3, the crown 1 is folded over one end edge 6a of the separated cut 6 of the brim 2, which is the connecting side. The brim 2 can be wound in a roll shape in the circumferential direction from one end edge 6a side of the cut 6 toward the other end edge 6b side so as to wrap the assembled crown 1 inside. However,
By such winding, the brim 2 can finally be folded into a truncated conical roll as shown in FIG. 4 without creating any creases. In this folded state, the brim 2 may be provided with fasteners 7c at suitable locations around the brim 2 for engagement with the fasteners 7b on the end edge 6b side corresponding to the end of the winding. , it becomes possible to keep the winding in the folded state.

In addition, from such a folded state, brim 2 is unwound and unfolded, and crown 1 and brim 2 are
By engaging the fasteners 4a and 4b, almost the entire circumference that had been separated apart from the fixed connection part 3 with the brim 2 is connected to the original state, and the edges 6a and 6b of the cut 6 of the brim 2 that had been separated are connected to each other. By connecting the fasteners 7a and 7b to their original state by engaging the fasteners 7a and 7b, the wearer can be restored to the original state shown in FIG. 1 and can be worn. When performing this restoration operation, crown 1
Since the brim 2 and the brim 2 are not completely separated and are fixedly connected with a part of the periphery as the fixed connection part 3, the fastener 4 that covers almost the entire circumference other than this
The connection operation by operating a and 4b can be performed easily and comfortably. In this restored state, when the brim 2 is folded, it is simply wound in a roll in the circumferential direction without being creased. When worn on the head, the crown 1 can be kept in a stable state of tension around the crown 1.

Effects of the invention According to the invention as described above, for a hat having a brim around the crown, the hat can be wound in a roll in the circumferential direction so as to fold and wrap the crown without creating creases in the brim. It can be folded into a small size and restored to its original state, and can be very convenient when applied to sunshade hats and the like.
