Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a wig base that forms a wig by planting false hair (artificial hair or real hair), and a wig formed by using this wig base.

BACKGROUND

[0002]

For a long time, it was well known that the base of a wig is formed by using a mesh element having cells, and the wig is formed by planting false hair into the fibers that form these cells (e.g., patent documents 1-3).

PATENT DOCUMENT

[0003] Patent Document 1: JP H9 (1997) -273016A

Patent Document 2: JP H9 (1997) -324317A

Patent Document 3: JP 2014-77208A

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED

[0004]

The present invention is made based on the aforementioned prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to further increase the volume (splendor) of planted false hair.

MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM

[0005]

In the present invention, a combined mesh pattern is formed by superposing “a first mesh element having a first polygonal mesh pattern” and a “second mesh element” having a second polygonal mesh pattern. ”This composite mesh pattern includes cells, wherein the cell sizes (opening area) are relatively different.

[0006]

The meaning of the "combined honeycomb pattern" of the present invention is as follows. There are two sheets of mesh elements, and the cells that each mesh element has are defined as “first mesh pattern” and “second mesh pattern”. At this point, a “combined mesh pattern” is defined as a mesh pattern, which is manifested by superimposing these two sheets of mesh elements. A “combined honeycomb pattern” is not present in each individual mesh element, and it is a mesh pattern that appears only by superposition of both mesh elements.

A “combined mesh pattern” of the present invention includes cells whose sizes are relatively different.

[0007]

The "first mesh pattern" and the "second mesh pattern" may be substantially identical or may be different. In the event that the “first mesh pattern” and the “second mesh pattern” are substantially identical, a “combined mesh pattern” including cells whose sizes are relatively different, is formed by superimposing two mesh elements with an offset position of each mesh element, respectively.

USEFUL EFFECT OF THE INVENTION

[0008]

At the base of a wig in accordance with the present invention having the aforementioned configuration, if the hair extensions are bundled into fibers that form cells with a relatively small mesh size, the distance between each hair extension is small in this region, and therefore the hair extensions support each other at roots. Accordingly, each hair extension rises strictly up from the root.

Conversely, if the false hair is bundled into fibers that form cells of a relatively large cell size, the distance between each false hair is large in this area, and therefore the false hair tends to give a general impression of fluffiness. Additionally, there is an area where the false hair rises straight up around this area, this can prevent the falling of the false hair, giving the impression of fluffiness, and thereby maintaining the impression of fluffiness.

[0009]

As mentioned above, in the present invention, since the “combined mesh pattern” includes cells whose sizes are relatively different, “an area where the distance between each hair extension is relatively small and the hair extension rises strictly up”, and “region where the distance between each hair extension is relatively large and the hair extensions generally give the impression of fluffy “mix, and thereby obtain a wig that is generally magnificent and has an increased th bulk. Moreover, false hairs that tend to be lush are prevented from falling by supporting adjacent false hairs that rise strictly up, and therefore the impression of fluffiness can persist for a long time.

[0010]

Moreover, at the base of the wig in accordance with the present invention, since the aforementioned “combined mesh pattern” is formed by superposing two sheets of mesh elements, it is sufficient that the mesh pattern of each sheet of mesh elements has a simple polygonal shape.

Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a single sheet of mesh element having a complex cellular pattern, and therefore, the manufacturing process (weaving process) can be simplified. Moreover, since the diameter of the fiber that forms the cell can be made smaller in each mesh element, there are such advantages that “the false hair is difficult to fall out” and “the masking effect is improved since the fiber can easily be hidden by false hair”. These advantages will be described in detail in the description of the embodiments.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT

[0012]

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is an explanatory drawing for illustrating the base 10 of the wig in accordance with the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the wig base 10 is formed by a honeycomb portion 20 located in the center and a peripheral portion 30 that fixes the circumference of the honeycomb portion 20. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the wig is formed by fitting hair extensions (artificial hair or real hair) into the mesh portion 20.

[0013]

The mesh portion 20 is formed by overlaying the first mesh element 21 and the second mesh element 22. In the example shown, both mesh elements 21, 22 include a number of hexagonal cells to be substantially identical. As shown in FIG. 1 (b), a “combined mesh pattern” is formed by offsetting both mesh elements 21, 22 with respect to each other.

[0014]

<< Combined honeycomb pattern >>

A “combined honeycomb pattern” of the present invention is described. Cells that have a first mesh element 21 are defined as a “first mesh pattern”, and cells that have a second mesh element 22 are defined as a “second mesh pattern”.

In the example of FIG. 1, both the “first mesh pattern” and the “second mesh pattern” have a hexagonal shape and its dimensions are the same. The first mesh element 21 and the second mesh element 22 are offset relative to each other and thereby form a “combined mesh pattern” as shown in FIG. 1 (b).

As mentioned above, with respect to two sheets of mesh elements that are stacked on top of each other, “combined mesh pattern” means a composite mesh pattern that appears only by superimposing two sheets of mesh elements, and not just a mesh pattern that each of the mesh elements has.

[0015]

As described below, the “first mesh pattern” and the “second mesh pattern” may be different patterns. In the event that the “first mesh pattern” and the “second mesh pattern” are identical, it is necessary to offset the position of both mesh elements 21, 22 with respect to each other to form a “combined mesh pattern”, as shown in the example of FIG. 1. In the event that the “first mesh pattern” and the “second mesh pattern” are different, the “combined mesh pattern” can be formed simply by superimposing two mesh elements.

[0016]

In the present invention, a “combined mesh pattern” includes cells, the cell sizes being relatively different. This is described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 (a) also shows the mesh portion 20 shown in FIG. 1 (b).

As is clearly understood in the drawing, the “combined mesh pattern” includes diamond-shaped cells 20a and hexagonal-shaped cells 20b. When comparing between cells 20a and 20b, cells 20a are relatively smaller than cell 20b (opening area is smaller). On the contrary, two sheets of mesh elements 21, 22 are displaced relative to each other in such a way as to make the cell size relatively different.

The specific shape of each cell, which manifests itself in the form of a “combined mesh pattern”, can be any shape.

[0017]

<< The effect of a combined honeycomb pattern having cells of different sizes >>

Figure 2 (b), for a clear description, shows only a portion of the false hair planted in the cellular portion 20. Although it is shown that the false hair protrudes from the inside of each cell in the drawing, each hair extension is actually planted in the fiber that forms the cell .

[0018]

As shown schematically in FIG. 2 (b), if the hair extensions are bundled into fibers that form cells 20a of a relatively small size, the distance between each hair extension is small in this region, and therefore the hair extensions support each other at the roots. Accordingly, each hair extension rises strictly up from the root.

Conversely, if the hair extensions are spun into fibers that form cells 20b of a relatively large size, the distance between each hair extension is large in this area, and therefore the hair extensions tend to give a general impression of fluffiness. Additionally, a cell 20a, where the false hair rises straight up, is provided around this area, this can prevent the falling of the false hair, giving the impression of fluffiness, and thereby maintaining the impression of fluffiness.

[0019]

As mentioned above, in the present invention, since the “combined mesh pattern” includes cells whose sizes are relatively different, “an area where the distance between each hair extension is relatively small and the hair extension rises strictly up”, and “region where the distance between each hair extension is relatively large and the hair extensions generally give the impression of fluffy “mix, and thereby obtain a wig that is generally magnificent and has an increased th bulk. Moreover, false hairs that tend to be lush are prevented from falling by supporting adjacent false hairs that rise strictly up, and therefore the impression of fluffiness can persist for a long time.

[0020]

<< The advantage of having two sheets of mesh elements 21, 22 >>

A cellular pattern including cells whose sizes are relatively different can theoretically be obtained by means of a single sheet of mesh elements 21 rather than by overlapping two sheets of mesh elements 21, 22. However, in the present invention, this is achieved by overlapping two sheets of mesh elements 21 , 22. The advantage of this configuration is described below.

[0021]

(1) If made in such a way as to include cells whose sizes differ on the same sheet of the mesh element, this is not preferable since the weaving process for this mesh element becomes complicated.

Conversely, if two sheets of mesh element 21, 22, like the present invention, are used, it is sufficient that each of the mesh elements has cells having a simple shape to produce different mesh sizes, thereby simplifying production processes.

[0022]

(2) If made in such a way as to include cells whose sizes differ in one sheet of the mesh element, the weaving process for this mesh element becomes complicated. Typically, the fibers that form the cells intersect each other in a complex way, and in the end, the diameter of each fiber that forms the cells tends to be larger. If the fiber diameter becomes large, there is such a defect that the bun of false hair planted in them tends to be easily released (false hair tends to fall out easily).

On the contrary, in the present invention, the mesh shape of each mesh element is simple, and it is easy to make the fiber diameter smaller. Therefore, false hair is difficult to fall out.

Moreover, in essence, if the diameter of the fibers that form the base of the wig becomes larger, it becomes more difficult to hide these fibers with planted hair extensions. In the present invention, as mentioned above, it is easy to make the fiber diameter smaller, and therefore, the fibers can be easily hidden by planted hair extensions (masking effect is high).

[0023]

Regarding the two sheets of mesh elements 21, 22 that are used superposed on each other, the intersection point of the fibers that form the cells of each mesh element is preferably joined and fixed by bonding with false hair, threads or the like, or by other joining methods.

Thus, as shown in detail in FIG. 2 (c), at the intersection point G of the fiber 21a, which forms the cells of the first mesh element 21, and the fiber 22a, which forms the cells of the second mesh element 22, both fibers 21a, 22a are knotted and fixed planted false hair with each other (or other suitable threads or the like). Although such bonding is optional, such bonding can increase the integrity of the two sheets of mesh elements 21, 22.

In FIG. 2 (c), although all intersection points are fixed, as mentioned above, the number of intersection points that are connected and fixed can be arbitrarily determined.

[0024]

<< Another embodiment >>

In the present invention, the specific form of the first mesh element 21 and the second mesh element 22 is not limited to the shape shown in FIGS. 1, 2. In FIGS. 3-5, the second, third and fourth embodiments are described which have effects similar to those as mentioned above.

In any embodiment, the “combined mesh” is formed by overlaying “a first mesh element having a first polygonal mesh pattern,” and “a second mesh element having a second polygonal mesh pattern,” and this “combined mesh pattern” includes cells whose sizes are relatively different.

[0025]

FIGS. 3-5 are shown for describing the overlay form of two mesh elements. In the event that a valid wig base is formed, a peripheral portion 30 is provided, and the wig base is formed so as to fit the user's head, as shown in FIG. 1 (a).

[0026]

In the first embodiment (FIGS. 1, 2), the cells that have two mesh elements 21, 22 are identical. Conversely, in the second to fourth embodiments (FIGS. 3-5), cells that have two mesh elements are different from each other.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the “first mesh pattern” of one mesh element and the “second mesh pattern” of another mesh element may be identical or may differ from each other. It is sufficient that the “combined mesh pattern” that results from the overlap of both mesh elements includes cells whose sizes are relatively different.

[0027]

The specific shape of each cell is not limited to special shapes. For example, any arbitrary shape such as hexagonal, rectangular, triangular or other shapes can be used.
