[Field of Invention]

The present invention is a cap hat of one standard size can be worn so that people in the head size range up to + 6cm to feel comfortable, stable and balanced, can be mass-produced using the same production line It is about the configuration.

That is, for example, the present invention can be worn in a wide size range of 60 cm ± 3 cm or more to 66 cm ± 3 cm (ie, 57 cm to 63 cm, 60 cm to 66 cm, 63 cm to 69 cm), and also feels good fit, stability and balance The present invention relates to a full size cap of an improved configuration.

[Description of Related Technologies]

Conventional presized caps do not need to be manufactured and sold in various kinds of sizes like ordinary caps, which simplifies production lines and facilities, shortens working time, saves manpower, saves space, and improves distribution efficiency. In addition, the synergistic effect of these measures could reduce the selling price.

Conventional free-size caps are known from U.S. Patent 4,662,007 or U.S. Patent 5,119,514.

In the caps related to these U.S. patents, it is common to form a woven fabric (CORE) in the circumferential portion of the rear portion from the cap brim as a stretchable fabric. In addition, an ear flap made of a knitted fabric is formed in the rear portion of the cap brim at the lower edge of the cap body of the US Pat. No. 4,662,007.

Normally, this applap is raised and folded around the cap body except for the part of the cap brim. In low seasons such as winter, the ear flaps are lowered to cover the ears and cover the ears of the wearer. It is hingedly designed to act as an ear flap.

In addition, it can be expected to function as a sweatband by folding the hinged ear flap into the inside of the cap body, but in this case, the ear flap is not formed on the inner edge of the cap brim (army part of the head). This ear flap cannot function as a sweatband.

On the other hand, the free size cap of US Patent 5,119,514 has an ear shied on the wing from the rear end of the cap brim to the incision in the center of the back of the cap, and the cap body of the cap body At the back of a constant width " "They make the incision and install a fitting band or a velcro fastener with a length corresponding to the distance between the longitudinal sides of the incision, and the size can be adjusted.

That is, in the case of the fitting band, one male band has protrusions having a constant interval, and the other arm band has fitting holes having the same constant spacing, and the protrusion of the male band is placed at the desired position of the arm band. It is configured to adjust the size of the cap to fit the wearer's head size by allowing the fitting hole to fit.

However, the above-mentioned free size cap of US Patent 4,662,007 has the following problems.

In other words, the forehead portion corresponding to the inner edge of the hat visor does not have a hinged band, so it is not possible to play a role as a scratch band in this portion. Therefore, in this part, you feel a bad fit. In this case, the size of the cap is determined based on the fact that the ear flap is folded up on the hat body, so if you fold it inside the lower edge of the hat body to act as a sweatband, The size of the inner circumference of the cap body as much as that is reduced, thereby reducing the application range of the size as the free size cap.

In addition, in the case where the ear flap is composed of a knitted fabric according to a conventional method, repeated washing several times causes the elasticity of the tissue to be gradually lost, deteriorating the role of the sweat, and the progress of the wear rate is accelerated, resulting in a problem of shortening the life.

In addition, the cap body is made of elastic fabric and its elongation is described as 20%, but under these vague conditions, the inner portion of the lower end of the cap body, which is circumferentially extended from the end of the cap brim, which is a portion that actually increases when the cap is worn. Depending on how much you want to determine the length of the portion of sweat band (Ro), the balance between the visor and the cap body, and the range of head sizes that can be worn as one basic cap size (Co) (H) ) And the effective maximum new device (Ro's maximum new device within the range not exceeding the elastic limit) cannot be known and therefore the extension range (△ Ro) of (Ro) cannot be known. It is not known whether there is a risk of causing an unsatisfactory fit due to excessive degree, or a problem such as a cap being peeled off frequently due to lack of contraction force and giving instability of wearing.

(In this case, H = Co + △ Ro = Fo + Ro + △ Ro, where Fo is a symbol representing the length of the sweat band, that is, the length of the front portio of sweat band, where the edge of the cap brim is in contact with the head. Ro is the grinding when not elongated and the effective maximum expansion ratio of the cap body is Max Δ Ro is the effective maximum of Δ Ro).

Meanwhile, the above-mentioned free size cap of US Pat. No. 5,119,514 has the following problems. In other words, in the case of using the fitting band as an adjustment tool, this adjustment is made at the interval between the fitting protrusion and the fitting hole, so that a minute adjustment cannot be performed between the intervals and must be adjusted to fit the size of the head. It is slightly smaller than the size of the head, which increases the pressure on the head, or slightly turns on, so that the body is separated from the head, thereby compromising the feeling of wearing.

In addition, if the fitting band is reduced more than the normal position, the incision portion of the fitting band is narrowed, causing a shrinkage around it, thereby damaging the appearance, and the fitting band seals one end of the number band and one end of the arm band to the cap body. Since the manufacturing process is complicated, the working efficiency is bad, and the number of parts is increased, the cost increases due to their synergy.

If Velcro fasteners are used instead of the fitting bands, the free width of the adjustment can be increased, but the hook and loop portions of the Velcro fasteners are weakened in structure so that the fastening function is relatively short. It is lost and the life is unexpectedly shortened.

In addition, when using a Velcro fastener, as in the case of the fitting band, each part of the hook and loop parts needs to be sealed to one end of the cap body, which complicates the manufacturing process, worsens the work efficiency, and reduces the number of parts. Because of the increase, the cost increases due to their synergy.

In addition, the assured formed in this US patent is formed integrally with the lower end of the cap body from the rear end of the cap brim and is composed of a relatively rigid material, which is intended to cover both ears from sunlight. It cannot be used as a sweatband because it is folded into the inner surface of the lower part of the main body.

In addition, it is described that the sculptural cloth can be composed of an elastic fabric as needed, but specific details are not known, so the method of implementation and the effect thereof are unknown.

In order to solve the problems of the conventional free size cap as described above, the same applicant (the inventor is the same person) as the applicant of the present invention, the elastic body of the cap body according to Korean Patent Application No. 92-26367 (filed December 30, 1992) It consists of a double-layered knitted fabric to be a sweatband, and the cap main body and the sweatband have elasticity within a certain range in the weft direction so that the standard size at the time of non-extension can be increased to 66cm when the standard size is 60cm. The size 60cm only proposed a free size cap that can be worn by people with a hair size of 60cm ~ 66cm.

However, in the case of the pre-sized cap of the aforementioned application, repeated washing of the sweatband composed of two layers of knitting materials is repeated, and the durability is weakened, and the elasticity and elasticity of the sweatband is weakened after a relatively short period of use, resulting in a close fit of the wearer. There was a drawback that the stability of the medium between wearing was deteriorated and it was easy to lose its function as a free size cap, and there was a limitation that the wearing range was limited to 60 cm to 66 cm.

In addition, this double-layered sweatband is too thick in hot weather conditions, causing a lot of sweat, which can lead to a weakening progression and shorten the lifespan.

Overview of the Invention

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problem of providing a free size cap having an improved structure to solve the shortcomings of the conventional free size cap and to exhibit a good fit and a sense of stability while maintaining its function for a long time. will be.

The present invention comprises a cap body is composed of a weft yarn of elastic yarn and an elastic fabric woven in a warp yarn of inelastic yarn, and the lower edge of the sweatband made of a woven fabric having elasticity and elasticity along the cap body inner peripheral edge and seals with the inner peripheral edge of the cap body The elastic fabric and the sweatband described above along the inner circumferential direction (weft direction) of the cap body provide a plastic cap that can be stretched within a predetermined range with respect to the reference size.

It is preferable to use a polyurethane elastic yarn having elasticity within a predetermined range with respect to the reference size of the weft yarn constituting the cap body.

In addition, the aforementioned sweat band is preferably composed of a polyurethane woven band having elasticity within a predetermined range.

In this case, it is preferable to use a spandex yarn (which contains 80% by weight or more of polyurethane) of the polyurethane elastic yarn to be used, and a spantex band is preferably used as the pulley elastic woven band.

The size (Co) at the time of non-wearing shall be 60cm ± 3cm, and the elastic range (△ Ro) of the inner periphery of the lower end of the cap body of the cap visor and the sweatband (Ro) of this part shall be 0 to 6.35cm, that is, 2.5 inches. It is preferable.

The aforementioned sweatband is sealed with the cap body in the center multistage lines in the width direction of the rear center lower end of the cap, and is spaced equally to the left and right from the central multisquench line 6-2. It is preferable to seal the width of the sweatband with the cap main body with the left multi-squelch line 6-3 and the right multi-squelchine 6-1.

In the free size cap of the present invention, the elastic fabric constituting the per cap body in the inner circumferential portion thereof can be stretched within a predetermined range with respect to the reference size, and worn as a cap of the same size even if the size changes within this range. can do.

For example, it is preferable that the reference size is 60 cm ± 3 cm. Applicant's company is the result of long years of export experience to the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Middle East countries, etc. In the country, it is understood that the head size of the real adult in the adult range is almost all within the range of 60cm ± 3cm to 66cm ± 3cm.

In other words, according to the statistics of the applicant's experience of supplying caps to domestic and foreign consumers for many years, it was found that the highest concentration of the head size distribution of the adult population ranges from 57cm to 69cm. (Fo and (Ro) should be about 1/2 of (Co), and the median range of hair size 57cm to 69cm, that is, the average value of 63cm, about 31.5cm = Ro, △ Ro = 0 to 6.35 cm (i.e. 0 to 2.5 inches) to balance the cap visor and the cap body, and when the cap is worn, the proper contraction force acts on the head to feel comfortable and the cap tends to peel off frequently. Not only did you get a sense of stability, but also a basic cap size of 57cm, 60cm, and 63cm using the same raw materials (same elastic fabric and homogenous sweatband made of the same tissue with the same stretching ratio). The resized cap could be mass produced on the production line.

In addition, the head size range of 63cm to 66cm to set the cap size of 60cm ± 3cm in order to be able to use either the cap size 60cm or 63cm.

Therefore, 60cm ± 3cm is set as the standard size, and the inner circumference of the cap body at the rear of the cap visor and the sweatband band can be stretched within the range of 6.35cm, that is, 2.5 inches, and the head size is 60cm ± It can be worn within the range of 3cm or more and 66cm ± 3cm, and can be worn without using a separate cap size adjusting means such as Velcro fasteners or fitting bands, and there is no worry of losing a comfortable fit at all Is made of polyurethane woven band, its thickness is very thin (about 1.5mm), so the amount of sweat can be reduced in the head of this part, and the polyurethane woven band has a lot of minute ventilation formed therein when it is extended. The ball will open bigger, and the sweat from the head that comes into contact with the sweatband will be enlarged. It can be quickly absorbed by the water and quickly released into the atmosphere, and as a result, it provides one factor to feel comfortable wearing.

In addition, as in the case of the foregoing embodiment, the sweatband is sealed by the inner surface of the cap body and the multi-squelch lines 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 at regular intervals in the rearward direction of the cap brim in the width direction thereof. The sweatband is projected downward from the lower edge of the cap body to prevent exposure and damage to the appearance.

In addition, when the reference size, Co = 60cm ± 3cm and Ro = 31.5cm and △ Ro = 0 ~ 6.35cm as in the previous embodiment, the shrinkage rate of the elastic fabric is 20% as described in US Patent 4,662,007 It is possible to balance the cap brim and the cap body, which could not be solved by the vague condition alone, and the proper contraction force acts on the sweat band to make the user feel comfortable and stable at the same time. It is possible to mass-produce free size caps with basic cap sizes of 57cm, 60cm, and 63cm, and to reduce the cost, and the head size ranges from 57cm to 63cm, 60cm to 66cm, 63cm to 69cm, or 57cm to 69cm. It provided convenience that only one of the three basic size pre-sized caps mentioned by the consumer can be selectively used.

In the case of US Patent 4,662,007, only △ Ro / Ro = 0.2 is described, and only this substrate is suitable for Ro and Fo, so that the proper range of △ Ro is not known. Cannot be prepared.

In addition, the polyurethane woven band has good fastness even after repeated washings, and its structure and function can be maintained for a long time, which can be extended much longer than the sweat band of the conventional presized cap, which has a life span.

In addition, the conventional double-layered sweatband or the upper flap of the knitted fabric has a relatively thick thickness, and when used in hot weather conditions, the knitted fabric is thick so that a lot of sweat occurs in the area where the head is in contact with the sweat. It was not good to wear because it could not be sent quickly to the outside quickly, but the swedish band made of the polyurethane woven band of the present invention has a very thin sphere (about 1.5mm) and a lot of micro-pores formed in contact with the head Less sweat is generated in the sweat and the sweat is absorbed quickly through the enlarged hole of many micropores, so it can be easily dissipated out of the atmosphere quickly, so you can feel comfortable wearing. You can always have a comfortable fit regardless.

In the former, the elasticity within the range of 6.35 cm or 2.5 inches refers to the property of stretching within the range of the maximum extension device of 6.35 cm or 2.5 inches from the state of no extension, but the effective maximum extension is the elastic limit. It should be within the range not to deviate, and refers to the range of stretch value (△ Ro) that appears in the lower inner circumference of the cap body and the sweatband inner circumference (Ro) behind the hat visor.

Since the pre-sized cap of the present invention is configured as described above, the reference size (60 cm ± 3 cm), that is, the head size of 57 cm to 63 cm, 60 to 66 cm, 63 cm to 69 cm as one of the standard sizes of 57 cm, 60 cm and 63 cm. The majority of the main consumers with the range can wear them according to their head size and simply without using the adjusting equipment, so they can be integrated into the same production line. Not only does it require a lot of different production facilities, a lot of different working hours and a lot of different manpower as in the case of the installation, but it can also significantly reduce the increase in cutting losses, resulting in a significant reduction in manufacturing costs. have.

The reference size according to the present invention is 57cm to 63cm, 60cm to 66cm, 63cm by selecting one size from 57cm, 60cm, 63cm (ie 60cm ± 3cm) according to the average size of the head of the main consumer of each country or race It can be suitably used for the users of the head size of ˜69 cm or 57 cm to 69 cmr (60 cm ± 3 cm or more and 66 cm ± 3 cm).

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the cap body 1 is composed of six pieces of cloth (1-1) (1-2) (1-3) (1-4) (1-5) (1-6) These six pieces of cloth show the surface of the state partitioned as each adjacent edge.

These six pieces of cloth are shown as (2-1) (2-2) ("-3) (2-4) (2-5) (2-6) in the bottom view (back view) of FIG. As described above, their adjacent ends are closed in a state of overlapping each other.

The cap body (1) of this part is capped by this core material by attaching a core material with relatively rigid properties to the center of the inner surface of the piece cloth (1-1) (1-6) located at the part of the cap brim (3). The shape of can be kept hard so that it can always be kept in a circular shape.

In addition, the cap body 1 made of elastic fabric is woven into a structure having a suitable elasticity within a range of 6.36 cm (2.5 inches) in the Ro portion, and a polyurethane elastic yarn is used as the weft yarn, and a non-elastic yarn such as poly It is woven using a blended yarn of ester fibers and cotton fibers.

If the elastic fabric is stretched longer than 6.35cm in the Ro part, the restoring force (shrinkage force) to return to the original is reduced, and the cap cap is weakly adhered to the head, which may cause loss of stability when worn. Because of the strong pressure), the cap puts pressure on the head, which may cause discomfort to the head. Likewise, the sweatband can be formed into a tissue with a suitable elasticity within the range of 0 to 6.35 cm, but in general, the spandex band has a very elastic range and a gentle contraction force, so the stretch band must be limited to 0 to 6.35 cm. It is not necessary and the elastic fabric mentioned above is stretched within the range of 0 to 6.35 cm.

The weft of the cap body 1 made of elastic fabric is arranged to stretch along the circumferential direction of the cap, and the sweat band 4 of the lower edge portion 5 and the polyurethane elastic woven band on the cap body 1 (example For example, the lower edge part 5 of 3 cm in width and 60 cm in length of the inner periphery of 1.5 mm) is sealed.

The cap body 1 composed of a sweat band 4 and six pieces of cloth can be stretched within a predetermined range with respect to the reference size along the inner circumferential direction.

Also, for example, at the rear of the cap visor 3, the sweatband 4 is in contact with a piece of cloth (1-2) (1-3) (1-4) (1-5) of the cap body 1 (second (3-1) (6-1) (6-2) It seals in three places by the multi squelch line of (6-3).

That is, the sweatband 4 is the second portion of the portion joined to the piece of cloth (1-2) (1-3) (1-4) (1-5) located in the rear of the cap body (6) (6 The left and right multi squelch lines 6-1 are enclosed by the left and right multi squelch lines 6-1 at regular equal intervals left and right centered on the center multi squelch line of -2). As a result, the sweat band 4 can be prevented from flowing downward from the lower edge portion 5 of the cap body 1.

On the other hand, since the sweat band 4 is not sealed to the cap main body 1 at the portion of the cap brim 3, that is, the Fo portion, the sensitive forehead portion may not feel a hard discomfort due to the presence of the multi squelch line.

Since the present invention is intended to be such that the stretch band △ RO of the sweatband around the rear of the cap brim and the lower inner circumferential Ro portion of the cap main body corresponding to this part is 0 to 6.35 cm, the basic cap size must be 60c ± 3 cm. There is no need to make a reference to the standard, and even if the design is changed to 60cm ± 6cm, the gist does not change.In this case, 54cm ~ 57cm including the wearer's head size range of 57cm to 69cm when 60cm ± 3cm is used as the basic cap size. A consumer with a head size within the range of 72 cm may use the pre-sized cap according to the present invention, but a person with a head size of 60 cm to 63 cm may not wear either a cap size of 57 cm or a cap size of 60 cm and a head size of 63 cm to 66 cm. Person cannot enjoy freedom of choice to choose either cap size 60cm or cap size 63m.

In general, the longer the elongation, the greater the contraction force to return to the original position, but if repeated several times, the contraction force is weakened and the strength close to the head is weakened. The contraction force to return is small, but even after repeated wearing, the contraction force is not weakened, so the strength closely adhered to the head is almost unchanged, and the range of 0 ~ 3cm and 3 based on the median of the height range 0 ~ 6.3cm or 0 ~ 6cm It is preferable to wear a cap size in the range close to -6 cm, so that a basic cap size of 60 cm ± 3 cm can provide a desirable effect to the consumer rather than 60 cm ± 6 cm.

This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, It can also be carried out by changing a design within the range which does not change a summary.

For example, the pre-sized cap according to the present invention may omit the joining of core material of the stiff material to the front center inner surface of the cap body, and the reference size does not necessarily need to be based on 60 cm, for example within ± 3 cm. Alternatively, the design may be carried out by design change within the range of ± 6cm, and the cap body may be composed of three to five sheets without necessarily consisting of six pieces of cloth.
