-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cap according to the first to sixth exemplary embodiments of the present invention. The cap according to the first embodiment will now be described, with reference toFIG.1 . The cap includes acrown portion 1 for being worn on a head of a wearer, a visor portion 3 combined to thecrown portion 1, and asweatband 51 combined to thecrown portion 1 at its interior side. Thesweatband 51 may be combined to thecrown portion 1 at its bottom interior circumference, entirely or partially to a frontal portion where the visor portion 3 is combined. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thesweatband 51 includes acushion member 111, such as a sponge, a negativeion emitting member 131 combined to thecushion member 111, andprotective covers cushion member 111 and the negativeion emitting member 131. In addition, thesweatband 51 further includes afabric piece 19 of, for example, woven or non-woven fabric or cloth, such that theprotective covers - The
cushion member 111 provides cushioning when contacting with the forehead of the wearer so as to enhance the wearing comfort, and absorbs sweat. According to this embodiment of the present invention, thecushion member 111 is realized as a sponge. However, it should not be understood that the present invention is limited thereto, since another material that has a restoring force of a certain degree and absorbs sweat well may be used as thecushion member 111. - Further, the negative
ion emitting member 131 combined to thecushion member 111 may include a typical ceramic material producing negative ions helpful to the human body. In addition, the negativeion emitting member 131 according to this exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be formed to mainly include a mineral material such as tourmaline, germanium, titanium, ferrite, radon, thorium, elvan, and loess. Alternatively, the negativeion emitting member 131 may also be formed to mainly include gallium, beryllium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, and actinium. That is, the negativeion emitting member 131 may be realized with a material known in the art. In addition, the negativeion emitting member 131 is preferably formed of a material that can suppress breeding of microorganisms in the sweat absorbed by thecushion member 111 which would otherwise generate an offensive smell or have a bad effect on the human body. - In addition, the negative
ion emitting member 131 is preferably disposed toward the forehead of the wearer. By such an arrangement, the negativeion emitting member 131 emitting negative ions known to be helpful to the human body may be disposed closer to the human body. Thecushion member 111 and the negativeion emitting member 131 are formed in the shape of a long band. - Although various features of the negative
ion emitting member 131 according to this exemplary embodiment of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto.
