Figure 4 is a photograph showing another form of a mesh structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Figures 2 to 4 show examples of possible forms of the mesh structure proposed in the present invention, and are photographs showing various forms that can be modified and applied to each part of the hat. As an example, in the hat of FIG. 1, part 21 of the cover portion 2 may be configured in one of the shapes of FIGS. 2 to 4, and as another example, in the hat of FIG. 1, the brim portion 1 ) may also be configured in one of the shapes of FIGS. 2 to 4.

A hat with excellent light blocking and ventilation, including an aluminum light blocking and ventilation structure according to one aspect of the present invention, includes a light blocking portion and a ventilation portion based on a mesh structure formed by polyolefin-based yarn formed at least in part, The light blocking portion includes an aluminum foil layer formed on the mesh structure; An adhesive layer formed on top of the aluminum foil layer; and a UV blocking layer formed on the adhesive layer, wherein the ventilation portion includes only the mesh structure.

The polyolefin-based yarn may include one or more of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) materials.

The adhesive layer may include a urethane-based resin.

The UV blocking layer may include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene (PE). The ultraviolet ray blocking layer may be formed only on one side of the aluminum foil layer and not on the other side.

A mesh structure forming the base of the hat may be additionally formed on the upper or lower part of some of the light blocking portion and ventilation portion. This can be applied in various variations depending on the design of the hat.

The aluminum foil layer may be formed by adhesion to the mesh structure using an adhesive material. Here, to form adhesion between the mesh structure and the aluminum foil layer, an adhesive made of the same material as the adhesive layer may be used, or an adhesive made of a different material may be used.

The ultraviolet ray blocking layer on the aluminum foil layer may be formed by bonding through the adhesive layer, and the aluminum foil layer, the adhesive layer, and the ultraviolet ray blocking layer may be mutually formed through an extrusion die or the like before being adhered to the mesh structure. It may be compressed and integrated.

The mesh structure may be configured to form the entire hat, or may be configured to form a part of the hat, for example, a portion of the cover or brim of the hat. Even if the hat does not have a distinct cover and brim depending on the various designs of the hat, if the mesh structure proposed in the present invention is introduced into some structures of the hat, it falls within the scope intended by the inventor of the present invention.

The mesh structure is formed of a light blocking part and a ventilation part. The hat proposed in the present invention may include a light blocking portion formed in at least one part and a ventilation portion formed in at least another part. However, the light blocking part and the ventilation part may be formed adjacent to each other, and may be formed of one part consisting only of the light blocking part and another part consisting only of the ventilation part.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mesh structure includes a vertical lattice structure in which first polyolefin-based threads are formed orthogonally at intervals; and a diagonal cross structure in which the second polyolephene-based yarn diagonally crosses the vertical lattice structure and intersects within the vertical lattice structure.

At this time, the aluminum foil layer may include a plurality of aluminum foil strips arranged side by side in rows or columns of the vertical lattice structure.

According to one example, the orthogonally formed vertical lattice structure may include a woven structure.

In addition, according to one example, in the vertical lattice structure formed by crossing each other, the portions forming each frame of the orthogonal structure may be composed of a plurality of threads twisted or crossed, rather than a single thread. The orthogonal structure proposed in the present invention is not limited to a square structure in which four threads intersect horizontally and vertically to form exactly 90 degrees, but is a single thread formed by twisting multiple threads together or crossing them at a slight angle. This means that it includes an orthogonal structure formed when a group forms two horizontal axes and other groups of threads formed in the same way form a vertical axis and are orthogonal to each other at approximately 90 degrees.

An aluminum foil layer may be attached to the vertical lattice structure and the diagonal cross structure mesh structure. At this time, the aluminum foil layer may not be a single aluminum foil thin film, but may be divided into a plurality of aluminum foil strips and attached. The plurality of aluminum foil strips may be arranged side by side in rows or columns of the lattice structure. Due to the aluminum foil strips arranged side by side in rows or columns, the mesh structure can be flexible even though the aluminum foil layer is adhered, and has advantages in terms of ventilation, and even if the aluminum foil layer is bent in the mesh structure. However, they may not be damaged, and by arranging them in rows and columns, the adhesion between the mesh structure and the aluminum foil layer can be increased and manufacturing convenience can be facilitated.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive layer contains a urethane resin, and the ultraviolet ray blocking layer may contain a polyolefin-based material, a polyester-based material, or both.

The adhesive layer serves to bond the aluminum foil layer and the ultraviolet ray blocking layer, and the bonding may be formed through compression, according to one example. At this time, the main material of the adhesive layer may be a resin component, and may preferably include a urethane resin containing a urethane-based material as a main component.

The ultraviolet ray blocking layer may be pressed to the aluminum foil layer together with the adhesive layer. At this time, the thickness of the ultraviolet ray blocking layer formed by pressing on the aluminum foil layer may be 10 ㎛ to 30 ㎛. If the thickness of the pressed UV blocking layer is less than 10 ㎛, the flexibility is good, but there is a problem of poor manufacturing workability such as deformation due to tension, and if it exceeds 30 ㎛, the flexibility is reduced and the weight increases, causing cost problems and as a material for the hat. Problems may arise that make it unsuitable. The UV blocking layer formed by compression may preferably have a size of 20 ㎛ to 25 ㎛.

The UV blocking layer may include one or more of polyolefin-based or polyester-based materials, and may include PE or PP-based compounds as polyolefin-based materials, and PET-based compounds as examples of polyester-based materials.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mesh structure may be one in which the light blocking portion and the ventilation portion are repeatedly arranged in regular rows.

As can be seen through FIGS. 2 and 3, according to one embodiment, in the mesh structure, the light blocking portion and the ventilation portion may be arranged alternately in one row (see FIG. 2), and according to another embodiment, It may be arranged in the same form as the two rows of light blocking units followed by one row of ventilation units (see FIG. 3).

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the aluminum foil layer may be formed in long strips, with each strip forming one row.

The arrangement structure of the light blocking and ventilation parts of this mesh structure can be adjusted depending on the degree of need for the light blocking and ventilation effects. For example, the top part of the hat cover, which needs more light blocking effect, may be arranged so that the light blocking part occupies a larger proportion, and the side part of the hat cover part, which needs more ventilation effect, may be arranged so that the ventilation part occupies a larger proportion. there is. However, since the light-shielding portion must include an aluminum foil layer, it is better to be arranged in regular rows with the ventilation portion, considering convenience and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the density of the mesh structure of the light blocking part may be lower than the density of the mesh structure of the ventilation part.

As can be seen through Figures 2 and 3, while the aluminum foil layer is attached to the light blocking part, the ventilation part does not have an aluminum foil layer, so durability may be further problematic. Therefore, while the mesh structure of the light blocking part can be designed to be less dense, the mesh structure of the ventilation part may be designed to be relatively more dense. In terms of flexibility, it may be more advantageous to have a less dense mesh structure, but in the design of the ventilation portion, it may be more desirable to improve durability by increasing the density of the mesh structure rather than increasing flexibility.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ventilation unit may further include a transparent PET film layer formed on the mesh structure.

At this time, the transparent PET film layer may be formed on top of the mesh structure, and the transparent PET film layer may also be adhered by an adhesive material between the mesh structure and the transparent PET film layer. At this time, the transparent PET film layer is a component that can be added depending on the purpose of the hat, and may supplement the durability of the mesh structure, increase reflective performance and ultraviolet ray blocking performance, and serve as insulation inside the hat.

Figure 5 is a photograph showing a transparent PET film layer formed in a strip structure according to an embodiment of the present invention on a mesh structure of a ventilation portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The transparent PET film layer may be aligned similarly to the aluminum foil layer to form a strip adhered to the mesh structure. According to one example, the mesh structure forming the ventilation part may be formed as a ventilation part alone without intersecting the light blocking part (as shown in FIG. 4), and in this case, a transparent PET film layer is formed on the mesh structure forming the ventilation part. Similar to the aluminum foil layer of the light-shielding part, it can be formed by bonding and forming a strip structure by aligning the heat. Looking at the lower part of the mesh structure of FIG. 5 manufactured according to an example, a plurality of strips of transparent PET film are arranged on top of the mesh structure including a vertical lattice structure and a diagonal cross structure formed to diagonally cross the vertical lattice structure. It can be confirmed that the adhesive has been formed by dividing it into two parts. By dividing the transparent PET film layer into a plurality of strips and bonding them together, tearing of the transparent PET film layer is prevented, bendability and flexibility are increased, and ventilation can be maintained despite the transparent PET film layer being attached.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the area of the light blocking part may be 2 to 5 times the area of the ventilation part.

As a result of wearing and experiencing the hat proposed in the present invention by a large number of wearers, the larger the area of the light blocking part, the higher the effect of blocking ultraviolet rays and reflecting sunlight, and the wider the area of the ventilation part, the better the effect of internal air circulation. It gets higher. At this time, the range in which the wearer felt coolest was when the area of the light blocking part was 2 to 5 times that of the ventilation part. At this time, if the area of the light-shielding portion is less than twice the ventilation portion, the ultraviolet ray blocking effect may be so small that the effect of introducing the special structure intended in the present invention may not be felt by the wearer, and the area of the light-shielding portion may be small. If the ventilation area is 5 times or more, the same effect as wearing a cover made of aluminum foil may occur, causing the temperature of the wearer's scalp to rise excessively or causing discomfort due to lack of ventilation.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hat consists of a brim portion (1) and a cover portion (2), the cover portion includes both the light blocking portion and the ventilation portion, and the brim portion includes only the light blocking portion. You can.

The hat of the present invention can be provided and arranged with a light blocking part and a ventilation part to differentiate it depending on the area. As an example, the cover part 2 may alternately form a light blocking part and a ventilation part (as shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3), and the visor part may be formed only of the light blocking part. As another example, one part 11 of the visor that is close to the cover part and close to the wearer's skin may alternately form a light blocking part and a ventilation part, and the other visor parts may be formed only of the light blocking part. As another example, the outer line 12, where stitches are formed among the brim parts to hold the frame of the hat and must be highly durable, may be formed entirely as a light blocking part, and the remaining brim parts may be formed as an intersection of a ventilation part and a light blocking part. there is. These descriptions are all merely embodiments intended by the present inventor, and various application examples can be added according to the function or form of the hat.

The hat of the present invention is not limited to the cap shape shown in FIG. 1, and a hat shell structure of various materials may be covered above or below the mesh structure of the light blocking portion or ventilation portion as shown in FIG. 1.

In addition, the method of manufacturing the ventilation portion and light-shielding portion included in the hat proposed in the present invention is not limited to a specific order, and various processes used in the field of film lamination or fiber knitting and weaving can be used, and can be ordered according to convenience. can be adjusted, and no matter what manufacturing process is used, if it has a ventilation part and a light blocking part proposed in the present invention, it is included in the scope of rights of the hat of the present invention.

As described above, although the embodiments have been described with limited examples and drawings, various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art from the above description. For example, even if the described techniques are performed in a different order than the described method, and/or the described components are combined or combined in a different form than the described method, or are replaced or substituted by other components or equivalents. Adequate results can be achieved.
