Abstract

The present invention provides a deformable wig and a method in which the texture is modified by heat-treating the wig in use.

Description

Changeable wig}

The present invention relates to a deformable wig, and more particularly, to a wig that can be deformed into a new shape or appearance by changing the shape or appearance of the wig during use.

A wig is a general term for making and using a favorite hair as a hair other than one's own hair and is used due to hair loss or fashion.

Wigs are presented with various products according to race, age, and gender. Basically, wigs are selected and used according to the purpose of use. During use, you can wash etc. according to the purpose.

In other words, the existing wigs are used by the user to pre-made or custom-made products in a specific shape or appearance, and the use of new modifications of the shape or appearance during use has not been presented.

Techniques suggesting the deformation of some products are exemplified. In International Patent Publication No. 2008/020552, artificial hair having heat deformation and expansion by heating by a hair dryer used for hairdressing and the like are used. While proposing a used wig, artificial hair is formed by using a semi-aromatic polyamide resin having a glass transition temperature of 60 ° C to 120 ° C and a resin that does not expand in a temperature range at a predetermined ratio. Artificial hair has a super / core structure composed of a core and a core covering the core, and a technique in which polyethylene terephthalate or the like is used as a resin that does not expand in the above temperature range and nylon 6 or nylon 66 as a candle is proposed. As a result, the artificial hair is thermally deformed by heating in a steam atmosphere at or above the glass transition temperature or about 80 to 100 ° C, and it can be explained that the shape of the artificial hair can be maintained even at room temperature or in hair by shampoo. As a result, a hair dryer such as natural hair can be used to customize a hair style and maintain the hair style.

On the other hand, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 1998-127950 discloses a doll in which a doll's hair is formed by melt-integrating a thermoplastic resin (A) and a thermoplastic polymer (B) having a specific glass transition temperature and a narrowing piece for narrowing the doll's hair. It is made by disposing a roller having irregularities at opposite positions, and simply transforms or deforms the shape of the doll's head while presenting a set of hair orthopedic dolls consisting of a doll's hair orthosis in which the hairs squeezed between the rollers are wavy. Techniques for restoring hair to its original state are disclosed.

The proposed techniques are basically different in that they are partially deformed or mechanically molded by using deformation properties due to the polymer properties of the fiber, but are completely different from each other. It does not suggest a transformation into a product.

Therefore, it was eager to present a wig product that can be transformed into a completely different shape or appearance after using a specific shape or appearance.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, it should be noted that in the drawings, the same components or parts denote the same reference numerals as much as possible. In describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of related well-known functions or configurations are omitted in order not to obscure the subject matter of the present invention.

As used herein, the terms "about", "substantially", and the like, are used at, or in close proximity to, numerical values as are indicative of the manufacturing and material tolerances inherent in the meanings mentioned, Absolute figures are used to prevent unfair use by unscrupulous infringers.

The method described herein does not basically exclude the possibility of being applied to all wigs, but for the sake of clarity, a braid wig will be described as an example.

In the wig market, about 90% of users are known as blacks. This reason can be inferred to be due to black hair characteristics. Black hair has a large number of hair shafts, which are very small hairs and the cause is unknown, but it is assumed to be due to congenital causes. The hair shaft not only has the hair shaft deformed but the hair root at the development site is already deformed. Therefore, even if the hair shaft is corrected, it grows again with hair growth temporarily. The hair shaft is not only deformed externally, but also the internal cortical composition is different from the straight hair. When the cross section of the hair is observed under a microscope, the straight hair is closest to the round side, the wavy hair is a weak elliptical shape, and the flatness becomes stronger as the degree of gradation increases. In addition, the direction of hair growth is almost perpendicular to the skull, but the hairs are oblique as the hair grows. In other words, it can be seen that hair curling is related to the shape of the hair and the direction in which the hair is born. It is characteristic of African black people, Kosan people, Melanesian, Papua, and Andaman.

Due to these characteristics, black wigs have been proposed in various forms and appearances. Based on curl and wave (Curl / Wave) styles, curl products and texture patterns are used as the basis of the style, and based on some texture patterns As a result, products that implement styles such as braiding, twisting or tying have been proposed.

 The reason why the most basic and popular braid products pursue texture diversity rather than curl and wave products is that black hair has Kinky hair, and its curlyness and pattern vary from person to person. The sensibility to pursue similarity with raw hair is greatly affecting product development. In other words, the kinky and voluminous feel similar to the original hair eliminates the feeling of the wig and embodies the sensation of true hair.

Such a braid (braid) is a way of weaving (hair braiding) the hair strand (braiding method) or a plurality of hair strands to mean a braided hair piece, which is being commercialized in various forms in the braided type. The general braid is a wig (sometimes called a jumbo braid) directly textured as shown in FIG. 1, or may be used by a user twisting or braiding. Special braids are often twisted or braided at the manufacturing stage.

Non-limiting examples of such braids are three strands of Braiding or two strands of Senegal Twisting.The brand name is Box Braid, Havana Twist and Par. Also included are Faux Locs. In the present specification, it can be described as including both a wig that can be twisted or braided by the user and a form in which the twisting or braiding is performed in the manufacturing stage in advance (hereinafter, referred to as a "twist type").

On the other hand, unlike the twist type, the bulky property is given so much that it is presented as another non-limiting example of Marley Braid or Kinky Braid (hereinafter referred to as “kinky type”). 2).

The present invention seeks to propose a wig that can transform such an untextured or low degree of textured wig into a textured or high degree of textured kinky wig by the deformation method according to the invention.

Usually twisted wigs are used for two to three weeks, but can be discarded after the user's request or expiration date. As a non-limiting example, the twisted wig is used to connect to the wool, but after 2 to 3 weeks of wearing, the hair grows and the connection part is loosened so that the circular shape cannot be maintained or the end of the wig becomes frizzling. It must be replaced or discarded due to development or entanglement.

The present invention proposes a method and a wig that can be reused by a user by transforming the twisted wig into a kinky wig to be replaced or discarded.

The kinky wig may be in a textured state, and the texture processing imparts permanent bends in the form of crimps, loops, coils, etc., mainly by mechanical methods, to the filament yarn of synthetic fibers, and uses thermoplastics of synthetic fibers. It is a processing method of fixing this heat. However, it is impossible for an end user to build a facility for texturing. Therefore, the present inventors propose to deform this discarded twisted wig.

The present inventors propose the present invention using the physical properties of the fiber, that is, the heat shrinkage phenomenon of the fiber. In general, the problem of heat shrinkage of fibers is considered to be a combination of products and is designed to be controlled so as not to be deformed by hot water during various conditions, especially washing. The heat shrinkage behavior of fibers is interpreted as thermal shrinkage because the stretched amorphous polymers are subjected to the movement of frozen oriented molecular chains when they are raised above the glass transition temperature, and the fibers stretched below the glass transition temperature are below the glass transition temperature. Even at certain temperatures, heat shrinkage occurs. In this case, the heat shrinkage behavior of the two cases is interpreted differently. Thermal shrinkage of crystalline polymers, on the other hand, exhibits a very complex behavior when the microstructures that are changed by stretching or heat treatment are not only sensitively reflected but also affected by crystallization that occurs during the temperature rising process.

Conventional fibers have a complex of crystallization regions and non-crystallization regions, and their distribution is indicated by crystallinity, orientation, and can be controlled by heat treatment or stretching conditions. At this time, the amorphous region of the stretched fiber returns to a random coil state by heat, and shrinkage occurs, and recrystallization also occurs by conditions such as temperature. In other words, the shrinkage characteristics of the fiber due to heat become disordered due to the disturbance of the amorphous particles which are arranged in order by stretching, mechanical hysteresis, etc., and the shrinking of the length in the crystal region is accompanied. The molecular chain shrinks in a random coil form with respect to the axial direction and the microcrystalline melts or the recrystallization is attributed to the characteristics to stabilize the reduced form.

The wig according to the present invention using the behavior of such fibers may be expressed through heat treatment at 70 to 97 ° C., and the heat treatment means may include hot water, hot air, heat treatment by electromagnetic waves, and the like. Preferably it can be treated as hot water of 70 to 97 ° C. On the other hand, hair chemicals (for example, hair conditioners, etc.) may be added together with the hot water under the condition of being treated with hot water, in which case it may be treated at 70 to 120 ° C.

On the other hand, the fiber may be one or more fibers having a shrinkage rate of 15 to 75% (70 to 97 ℃ condition) in the fiber length direction under the tension. More preferably, the shrinkage in the fiber length direction at 85 to 95 ° C. and no tension may be 30 to 55% (70 to 97 ° C. conditions) of the fiber. The shrinkage range of the fiber is also a range for preventing the deformation of the physical properties due to the degradation of the fiber retention due to excessive heat treatment without being deformed during the product logistics process or excessive sunlight exposure in the actual shipping container. On the other hand, the shrinkage rate is difficult to express with a Kinky wig due to the low coil or texture in the process of shrinking the fibers in the fiber length direction under the tension, or the shrinkage rate exceeding the above range is entangled by the fiber yarn binding due to overshrinkage Due to this phenomenon, there may be a problem with the desired texture implementation.

Meanwhile, the deformable wig according to the present invention may include 10 to 100% by weight of the fibers constituting the entire wig. Shrinkage can be appropriately expressed within the above range, and natural irregularities and kinky textures can be expressed.

In addition, in the deformable wig according to the present invention, the fibers may be formed in a filament, tow, or bundle form to form a deformable wig. In the case of the filament form monofilament may be made of 30 to 75D, tow or bundle form of 60 to 360 (fila).

In addition, in the deformable wig according to the present invention, the fiber may be flame retardant yarn.

Hereinafter will be described a modification method of the wig of the present invention. As a non-limiting example, the modification method describes the twisted wig as the starting configuration, and the hydrothermal is described as an example.

First, the twisted wig can be expressed as a Kinky wig by heat treatment in a hot water soaked at about 70 to 97 ° C. for about 20 to 60 seconds. (Hydrogen treatment step) The hydrothermally treated wig is naturally dried or various drying processes ( Through the drying step), the user can implement the Kinky wig directly from the twisted wig. (See FIG.

Further optionally, the wig which has undergone the hydrothermal treatment step may be performed to further improve bulky and kinky properties through an unwinding step of opening in the fiber vertical direction. When explaining the opening more easily in terms of the user side is to give a friction in the vertical direction of the fiber to release the aggregated state between the fibers (see Fig. 3b, A line). Time and friction force can be controlled to achieve bulkiness.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through examples.
