Description

Shock absorbers for hats and shock absorbing hats

The present invention relates to a shock absorbing material for a hat and a shock absorbing hat that can protect the head from impact by providing a shock absorbing material, and in particular, can sufficiently exert both a shock absorbing effect on the head and prevention of stuffiness. The present invention relates to a shock absorbing material for a hat and a shock absorbing hat, which have an excellent design as compared with a hat provided with a conventional shock absorbing material.

Conventionally, a hat has been used to absorb the impact applied to the head and protect it. As such a hat, for example, as disclosed in "Traffic Safety Hat" of Patent Document 1, it is made of a synthetic foam resin sheet provided with a plurality of vents on the crown and the entire inner peripheral surface of the crown. Some have fixed shock absorbers.
However, even though the vents are provided, the shock absorber covers the entire head when worn, which causes the inside of the crown to become extremely stuffy. Therefore, there is a problem that the traffic safety hat cannot be continuously worn for a long time.
Therefore, in recent years, a technique relating to a shock absorbing hat in consideration of preventing stuffiness has been developed, and some inventions or inventions have already been disclosed relating thereto.

Patent Document 2 discloses an invention relating to a head protector or the like used by being attached to a hat under the name of "head protector and protective cap".
According to the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, a three-layered head protector including a synthetic resin shell, a shock absorber, and a head-side fabric is attached to a hat, and the wearer's frontal region and the frontal region of the wearer are provided. It is characterized by protecting the temporal region.
In the invention having such characteristics, when an old man falls, the frontal region and the temporal region, which are easily damaged by the fall, can be protected, and the entire head is not covered by the head protector. You can prevent the head from getting stuffy. Further, by using a material having breathability for the head side fabric, it is possible to improve the wearing feeling of the head protector.

Next, Patent Document 3 discloses a device under the name of "ventilation hat", which relates to a hat that prevents stuffiness and cushions impact by creating a gap in the hat.
The invention disclosed in Patent Document 3 includes a vertical spacer provided in the crown portion of the hat and a holder for forming a gap between the hat and the vertical spacer, and the hat is provided on the ceiling portion and the rear portion thereof, respectively. It is characterized in that a ceiling air window and a rear air window are provided.
In the device having such a feature, the gap between the hat and the vertical spacer can alleviate the impact on the head when an object collides with the hat. Further, since the air is exhausted through the above-mentioned voids and through the ceiling air window and the rear air window, stuffiness of the head is prevented.

Jikkenhei 1-94426 Gazette Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-241687 Utility Model Registration No. 3031764

However, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the head protector is not provided on the back of the head, it is not possible to prevent the back of the head from being injured except for a fall. Therefore, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, although the stuffiness prevention effect disclosed in Patent Document 1 is improved, it is considered that the protective effect of the head is excessively reduced.

Next, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 3, the spacers are arranged in dots with respect to the surface of the head, and the periphery thereof is a gap. Therefore, for example, the head falls on a sidewalk and the head falls. When it collides with the corner of the curb, the collision part of the hat may be dented and the impact may be applied to the head as it is. Therefore, there is a problem that the head cannot be sufficiently protected from sharp objects and pebbles having a small collision area. Further, since the crown portion of the hat is lifted by the holder, the hat is bulky with respect to the size of the head, which makes the appearance uncomfortable and lacks design.

The present invention has been made in response to such conventional circumstances, and is capable of sufficiently exerting both a shock absorbing effect on the head and preventing stuffiness, and a hat provided with a conventional shock absorbing material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shock absorbing material for a hat and a shock absorbing hat which are not uncomfortable in appearance in comparison and have excellent design.

In order to achieve the above object, the first invention is a hat shock absorber to be attached to a hat crown, and the hat shock absorber covers the frontal region of the crown corresponding to the frontal region. Having at least an anterior covering to cover and a posterior covering to cover the occipital region of the crown corresponding to the occipital region, while having a parietal opening to open the parietal region of the crown corresponding to the parietal region. It is a feature.
In the invention having such a configuration, the front covering portion and the back covering portion are based on, for example, a planar sheet made of a synthetic foamed resin body capable of absorbing impact. On the other hand, since the opening portion of the crown does not have a base material, it corresponds to the opening being formed in the shock absorbing material for a hat.

In the invention having the above configuration, when the impact absorber for a hat is attached to the crown of the hat, the front covering portion and the rear covering portion are provided so that this portion is removed from the impact applied to the frontal region and the occipital region. It has the effect of being protected. As long as the crown is open, the bilateral head covering portion covering the bilateral head region corresponding to the bilateral head may be formed on the impact absorbing material for the hat. Further, the front covering portion and the rear covering portion may be integrally formed with each other, or may be separated and separately formed.
Further, in the first invention, the temperature of the scalp does not rise due to the impact absorbing material for a hat covering the head in the open portion of the head, and stuffiness does not occur.

Next, in the second invention, in the first invention, the impact absorber for a hat includes a temporal covering portion that covers the temporal region corresponding to the temporal region of the crown, and is anterior in lateral view. _{When the height H 1} from the front lower edge of the covering to the top of the front covering _{is 1, the height H 2} from the rear lower edge of the back covering to the top of the back covering is 0.8. _{The height H 3} from the lateral lower edge of the temporal covering to the lowermost part of the lateral upper edge of the temporal covering is smaller than the height H _{1 and} more than the height H ₂ . Is also small.
In the invention of such a configuration, H ₁ : H ₂ = 1: 0.8 to 2.5 means that, for example, when the wearer is walking or running, he / she collides with an obstacle in front of him / her. When emphasizing ease of use, make _{the surface area of the front covering part wider than the surface area of the back covering part by setting H 1} > H ₂ , while it is difficult to support the body by hand when falling backward, leading to a bang on the back of the head. When the above is emphasized, H ₁ <H ₂ is set so that the surface area of the rear covering portion can be made wider than the surface area of the front covering portion.
Further, the height H ₃ is set to be smaller than the height H ₁ and smaller than the height H _{2 in} order to extend the open portion of the crown to the temporal region of the crown.

The surface area of the open parietal region also changes depending on the ratio of H ₁ : H _2. It should be noted that the surface area of the open top of the head is defined by the front coating portion, the rear coating portion, etc. of the impact absorbing material for hats from this surface area M, assuming that the impact absorbing material for hats has a hemispherical shape having a surface area M. It is a value (Mm) obtained by subtracting the total surface area m of the portion where the impact is absorbed.
In the invention having the above configuration, in addition to the action of the first invention, the ratio of the surface area of the front covering portion to the surface area of the back covering portion can be freely changed, so that the hat has a shape suitable for each purpose. A shock absorber is formed. In addition, the surface area of the open portion of the crown also changes, so that the air permeability is adjusted.

Subsequently, the third invention is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, the impact absorber for a hat is formed with a plurality of ventilation holes at least in a part thereof.
In the invention of such a configuration, the ventilation holes may be formed not only in a part of the shock absorbing material for a hat but also in the whole. Further, it is desirable that the diameter of the ventilation hole is about several millimeters or less so that the head can be protected even if a small object such as a pebble or a golf ball collides with the position of the ventilation hole.
In the invention having the above configuration, in addition to the action of the first or second invention, when a hat to which a hat shock absorber is attached is worn, for example, the air inside the crown that is humidified and heated by body temperature or sunlight. Is discharged to the outside of the hat shock absorber through the ventilation holes. Therefore, it has the effect of further preventing the stuffiness of the head.

Subsequently, the fourth invention is characterized in that, in any one of the first to third inventions, the impact absorbing material for a hat has protrusions formed on its inner surface.
In the invention having such a configuration, as the protrusions, for example, a synthetic foamed resin body capable of absorbing impact and a non-foaming rubber body can be considered. In addition, the protrusions may be evenly distributed on the inner surface of the impact absorber for hats, and may be distributed more densely in the region where the head protection effect is desired than in other regions.
In the invention having the above configuration, in addition to the action of any one of the first to third inventions, for example, when the protrusion has shock absorption, the head protection action is enhanced. Further, since the inner surface of the shock absorbing material for a hat is prevented from being in close contact with the crown over a wide range, the stuffiness prevention effect is also enhanced.

Further, the fifth invention includes a hat shock absorber according to any one of the first to fourth inventions, and a mounting member for mounting the hat shock absorber on the outside of the crown. Of the crown, provided in the temporal region corresponding to the temporal region, at least one of both ends of the anterior covering and both ends of the posterior covering is attached to the outside of the crown via a mounting member and is anterior. A gap is formed between the covering portion and the frontal region and at least between the posterior covering portion and the occipital region.

In the invention having such a configuration, as the mounting member, for example, a sewing thread for inseparably sewing a hat shock absorbing material to the outside of the crown, or being fixed to both the hat shock absorbing material and the outside of the crown. Point fasteners and hook-and-loop fasteners can be considered. In the latter, the hat shock absorber is removable to the crown.
Further, in the shock absorbing material for a hat, for example, both ends of the front covering portion and both ends of the rear covering portion are attached to the outside of the crown via attachment members. However, the shock absorber for a hat may be attached to the outside of the crown via an attachment member only at both ends of the front covering portion or only at both ends of the rear covering portion. Both ends of the front covering portion are both ends in the lateral width direction on the left and right sides thereof. Therefore, for example, as the width of the anterior covering portion is increased, a gap is formed between the anterior covering portion and the frontal region, and the anterior covering portion expands. The same applies to the rear covering portion.

In the invention having the above configuration, a shock absorbing cap having the action of the invention according to any one of the first to fourth aspects is manufactured. In addition, in the invention having the above configuration, since a gap is formed on either the outside of the frontal region or the outside of the occipital region, stuffiness of the head is prevented in the gap.
When the shock absorbing material for a hat is removable from the crown, the shock absorbing material for a hat can be used as a normal hat by removing the shock absorbing material for the hat.
Further, for example, by changing the width of the front covering portion and the width of the rear covering portion, the width of each gap changes depending on the size. It is also possible to keep the head warm by not forming it wide.

According to the first invention, the front covering portion and the back covering portion protect the frontal region and the occipital region from impacts, and the open portion of the head does not cause stuffiness, so that the impact absorbing effect on the head is obtained. It has the effect of sufficiently exerting both prevention of stuffiness. Therefore, when wearing a hat to which a hat shock absorbing material is attached, discomfort due to stuffiness is unlikely to occur, and the hat can be worn for a long period of time.

According to the second invention, in addition to the effect of the first invention, a shock absorber for a hat having a shape adapted to the effect to be emphasized is formed, so that it is possible to finely respond to the age and activity of the wearer.

According to the third invention, in addition to the effects of the first or second invention, the ventilation holes further prevent the head from getting stuffy, so that the comfort when worn can be improved. In addition, since the hat shock absorber can be bent in different directions around each vent, the hat shock absorber follows the outer shape of the crown when the hat shock absorber is attached to the hat. It is easy to deform. Therefore, by forming the ventilation holes in the highly rigid material, it is possible to form a shock absorbing material for a hat that has high strength and can fit the outer shape of the crown.

According to the fourth invention, in addition to the effects of any one of the first to third inventions, the head protection effect and the stuffiness prevention effect are enhanced. Therefore, when a hat equipped with a shock absorbing material is worn. Safety and comfort can be further improved.

According to the fifth invention, a shock absorbing cap having the effect of any one of the first to fourth inventions is manufactured. In addition, according to the fifth invention, since the stuffiness of the head is prevented in the gap, the disadvantage of stuffiness due to the impact absorber for hats can be surely eliminated.
Further, the width of the gap in the front-rear direction can be changed by adjusting the width of the front covering portion and the width of the rear covering portion, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to keep the head warm with the shock absorbing material, and it is possible to wear the same shock absorbing hat throughout the four seasons.
Further, even if a gap is formed, by reducing the thickness of the shock absorbing material for the hat, the shock absorbing material for the hat does not rise so much from the crown, and there is less possibility that the appearance of the shock absorbing hat may be uncomfortable. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the design from being impaired.

It is a perspective view when viewed.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shock absorbing material 1 according to the first embodiment is a hat shock absorbing material attached to the crown 51 of the hat 50.
The shock absorbing material 1 includes an anterior covering portion 2 that covers the frontal region 51a corresponding to the frontal region of the hat wearer among the crowns 51 of the hat 50, and a occipital region corresponding to the occipital region of the hat wearer among the crowns 51. The posterior covering portion 3 covering the region 51b and the bilateral

head covering portions

4 and 4 covering the

bilateral head regions

51c and 51c corresponding to the bilateral heads of the hat wearer are provided.
On the other hand, of the crown 51, the crown 51 has a parietal opening portion 5 that opens the parietal region 51d corresponding to the parietal region of the hat wearer. Note that opening means that there is no sheet body 1a that covers the crown 51.
As shown in FIG. 2B, the hat 50 is a cap in which a brim 52 and a awning 53 are sewn on the frontal region 51a and the occipital region 51b, respectively. Further, the crown 51 is formed by stacking two pieces of 6-striped cloth, and snaps 6a'and 6b'for fastening snaps 6a and 6b, which will be described later, are provided on the front surfaces of the

bilateral head regions

51c and 51c. Be prepared.

As shown in FIGS. 1A to 2A, in the front covering portion 2, the front upper edge 2a has a gentle mountain shape in front view, and the front lower edge 2b is a uniform straight line. Is drawn. Further, the left and right both ends 2c and 2c of the front covering portion 2 in the front view are integrated with the left and right both ends 3c and 3c of the rear covering portion 3 in the rear view, respectively, and the planar bilateral

head covering portions

4 and 4 are integrated. To form. Further, both ends 2c and 2c are provided with

snaps

6a and 6a for attaching the shock absorbing material 1 to the crown 51 of the hat 50.
The rear covering portion 3 has a mountain shape in which the rear upper edge 3a rises more rapidly than the front upper edge 2a of the front covering portion 2. Further, the posterior upper edge 3a is connected to the anterior upper edge 2a to form the outer edge of the parietal opening portion 5. Further, the rear lower edge 3b of the rear covering portion 3 is connected to the front lower edge 2b in a uniform straight line, and the opening 1f of the shock absorbing material 1 forming a substantially circular shape (see FIG. 2A). Form. The ends 3c and 3c are provided with

snaps

6b and 6b for attaching the shock absorbing material 1 to the crown 51 of the hat 50.
The bilateral

head covering portions

4 and 4 form a lateral upper edge 4a in which the front upper edge 2a and the rear upper edge 3a are connected, and a lateral lower edge 4b in which the front lower edge 2b and the rear lower edge 3b are connected. Be prepared.
The top of the front upper edge 2a is the top 2d, and the top of the rear covering 3 is the top 3d. The shock absorbing material 1 is symmetrical with respect to the straight line connecting the uppermost portion 2d and the uppermost portion 3d. Further, among the heights from the lateral upper edge 4a to the lateral lower edge 4b, the lateral lower edge 4b corresponding to the lowest height is referred to as the lowermost 4c.

The shock absorbing material 1 is composed of, for example, a sheet body 1a made of polyethylene foam resin, polystyrene foam resin, or the like, which has flexibility and shock absorption, and a cloth cloth 1b that covers the front surface of the sheet body 1a. The thickness of the sheet body 1a is, for example, about 2 to 4 mm. Further, the cloth cloth 1b of the shock absorbing material 1 is of the same type and color as the cloth cloth constituting the crown 51.
Specifically, the sheet body 1a constituting the front covering portion 2 and the rear covering portion 3 is each composed of one sheet, and is heat-welded on both the left and right sides of each. However, the sheet body 1a of the back covering portion 3 has a curved surface shape because the three creases 1c to 1e are formed at equal intervals along the vertical direction (the direction connecting the upper edge 3a and the lower edge 3b). It is easy to fit the surface shape of the back of the head of the hat wearer.

Subsequently, the shape of the shock absorbing material will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are a left side view and A-A in FIG. 3 (a) when the impact absorber for a hat according to the first embodiment is attached to the hat shown in FIG. 2 (b), respectively. It is the A line arrow view. The components shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numerals in FIG. 3, and the description thereof will be omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), in the shock absorbing material 1, the height H ₁ from the front lower edge 2b of the front covering portion 2 to the uppermost portion 2d of the front upper edge 2a is defined as 1. _{In this case, the height H 2} from the rear lower edge 3b of the rear covering portion 3 to the uppermost portion 3d of the rear upper edge 3a is set to, for example, 1.6. That is, in the shock absorbing material 1, H ₁ <H ₂ is set, which emphasizes the prevention of a bang on the back of the head when the material falls backward.
Further, the ratio of the height _{H 3} from the lateral lower edge 4b of the temporal covering portion 4 to the lowermost portion 4c of the lateral upper edge 4a of the temporal covering portion 4 to the heights _{H 1} and H ₂ is the decimal point. Rounding off the second place, H ₃ / H ₁ = 0.7 and H ₃ / H ₂ = 0.4, respectively. That is, the height H ₃ is smaller than the height H ₁ and smaller than the height H ₂ . The reason for this configuration is to extend the parietal opening portion 5 to the bilateral

cranial regions

51c and 51c of the crown 51.
_{Further, when the shock absorbing material 1 is viewed from the side, the ratio of the heights H 1} to H ₃ to the length D of the bottom end surface consisting of the front lower edge 2b to the rear lower edge 3b is rounded off to the second decimal place. _{, H 1 /} D = _{0.3, H 2 /} D = 0.6, and H _{3 /} D = 0.2, respectively. When the shock absorbing material 1 is viewed from above, it has a substantially elliptical shape as can be seen from FIG. 3B, and the length D corresponds to the long axis thereof.

Further, as for the outer edge of the parietal opening portion 5, the uppermost portion 2d of the front covering portion 2 descends toward the rear upper edge 3a in a substantially linear manner in a lateral view, and the lowermost portion having the lowest height from the anterior lower edge 2b. (Corresponding to the lowermost portion 4c of the temporal covering portion 4), the rear upper edge 3a is formed by abruptly bending and rising. Therefore, when the shock absorber 1 is attached to the hat 50, the crown region 51d and the upper portion of the frontal region 51a are exposed from the parietal opening portion 5, while the lower portion of the frontal region 51a is exposed. The portion and almost the entire occipital region 51b are covered by the anterior covering portion 2 and the posterior covering portion 3.
However, since the thickness of the sheet body 1a is about 2 to 4 mm, even if the shock absorbing material 1 is attached to the crown 51, the shock absorbing material 1 does not rise significantly from the crown 51, and the shock absorbing material 1 does not rise significantly. It does not break the silhouette of the crown 51 when 1 is not attached.

Note that the front covering part 2, the front lower edge 2b includes a frontal region 51a of the crown 51, are arranged in a state where a gap S ₁ for both the collar 52. A rear covering portion 3, also its rear lower edge 3b, are arranged in a state where a gap S ₂ with respect to the head region 51b after the crown 51. These gaps S _1, S _2, and ventilation between the frontal region 51a and the front cover portion 2 of the crown 51, ventilation between the occipital region 51b and the rear cover portion 3 is secured. Moreover, the presence and volume of the gap _S 1, _{S 2,} in the prior cap 50 is actually worn, snap 6a against both side head cover portions 4 of the shock absorber 1, and a mounting position of 6b, the crown 51 It is uniquely determined by the mounting position of the snaps 6a'and 6b' (see FIG. 2B) with respect to the

bilateral head regions

51c and 51c.

In the shock absorbing material 1 having the above configuration, the shock absorbing material 1 is detachably attached to the crown 51 of the hat 50 via snaps 6a to 6b'. Then, the shock absorbing material 1 includes the front covering portion 2, the rear covering portion 3, and the bilateral

head covering portions

4 and 4, so that the lower part of the frontal region of the hat wearer, almost the entire back of the head, and both sides of the head are provided. The lower part of the part is protected from the impact applied to this part. However, by setting H ₁ : H ₂ = 1: 1.6, the parietal region 51d of the crown 51 and the upper portion of the frontal region 51a are exposed from the parietal opening portion 5, so that the vicinity of the parietal region is exposed. The temperature of the scalp does not rise, and the head of the hat wearer does not get stuffy.
Further, since the shock absorbing material 1 is made of a thin foamed resin material having a thickness of, for example, 2 to 4 mm and is lightweight, the load due to the load of the shock absorbing material 1 is negligibly small.

As described above, according to the shock absorber 1, the lower part of the frontal region of the hat wearer, almost the entire back of the head, and the lower part of both heads are protected from the impact, and stuffiness is generated near the crown. Since it does not occur, it has the effect of sufficiently exerting both a shock absorbing effect on the head and preventing stuffiness. Therefore, since the hat wearer is less likely to cause discomfort due to stuffiness, the hat 50 to which the shock absorbing material 1 is attached can be worn for a long time. Therefore, the hat wearer can continuously ensure his / her safety, for example, when commuting to school, taking a walk, or exercising.

Further, even if the shock absorbing material 1 is attached to the hat 50, the silhouette of the crown 51 is not destroyed. Therefore, for example, it exhibits excellent design as compared with the conventional invention disclosed in Patent Document 3. Specifically, the outer edge of the parietal opening portion 5 has the uppermost portion 2d of the anterior covering portion 2 descending substantially linearly toward the posterior upper edge 3a and the lowest height from the anterior lower edge 2b in a lateral view. It is formed by abruptly bending and rising the rear upper edge 3a of the rear covering portion 3 from the lowermost part. The shape of the outer edge of the crown opening portion 5 is one of the important factors that determine the efficiency of preventing stuffiness and the good design.
When purchasing a hat having a head protection function, the purchaser first attaches importance to the presence or absence of shock absorption and the degree of shock absorption, but does not neglect the design and price. That is, the purchaser tends to select a so-called well-balanced product in which both shock absorption and design are appropriate. Regarding this point, according to the shock absorbing material 1, as already described, the balance between the shock absorbing property and the design property is good.
Further, since the shock absorbing material 1 is formed by coating the foamed resin sheet body 1a with the cloth cloth 1b, its manufacturing price is not bulky. Therefore, according to the shock absorbing material 1, the product can be a product with a good balance in terms of price, and it is expected that the purchaser will select a lot of the shock absorbing material 1 or the hat provided with the shock absorbing material 1. can.

Next, the shock absorbing material for a hat according to the first to third modified examples of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4 (a) to 4 (c) are hat shock absorbers according to the first to third modifications of the hat shock absorber of Example 1, respectively. The components shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated by the same reference numerals in FIG. 4, and the description thereof will be omitted. Further, the display of the awning 53 and the cloth cloth 1b is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the shock absorbing material 1A according to the first modification of the first embodiment has a plurality of ventilation holes 7 formed in the shock absorbing material 1 according to the first embodiment. .. Further, instead of the

snaps

6a and 6b of the shock absorbing material 1, a sewing portion 8 is provided in which the shock absorbing material 1A is inseparably fixed to the crown 51 with a sewing thread. In this case, the snaps 6a'and 6b' provided on the crown 51 (see FIG. 2B) are also omitted.
Further, in the shock absorbing material 1, the ventilation holes 7 have a circular shape having a diameter of, for example, 3 mm, and are distributed substantially evenly over the entire sheet body 1a. Other than this, the structure of the shock absorbing material 1A is the same as that of the shock absorbing material 1.

In the shock absorbing material 1A having the above configuration, when the hat 50 to which the shock absorbing material 1A is attached is worn, for example, the air inside the crown 51 that has been humidified and heated by body temperature and sunlight is applied to the entire seat body 1a. It is evenly discharged to the outside of the shock absorber 1A through the distributed ventilation holes 7. Therefore, as compared with the shock absorbing material 1, it is possible to further prevent the head of the hat wearer from getting stuffy.
Further, since the ventilation hole 7 has a diameter of 3 mm, even if a small object such as a pebble or a golf ball collides with the position of the ventilation hole 7, there is a possibility that the small object directly collides with the head. Almost none. Therefore, the shock absorbing material 1A can improve the stuffiness prevention effect while not lowering the head protection effect as compared with the shock absorbing material 1.

Further, by providing the ventilation holes 7 in the sheet body 1a, even if the thickness of the sheet body 1a is increased, the sheet body 1a can be easily bent around the ventilation holes 7. Therefore, even if the rigidity of the sheet body 1a is increased by changing the thickness and the component ratio of the sheet body 1a, the flexibility of the sheet body 1a can be ensured by the ventilation holes 7. Therefore, according to the shock absorbing material 1A, the head protection effect can be indirectly enhanced while maintaining the stuffiness prevention effect. Along with this, the seat body 1a with increased flexibility still exerts the advantageous effect that the shock absorber 1A easily fits the shape of the head of the hat wearer, so that the shock absorber 1A is bulky. There is no risk of tension and lack of design.
Since the ventilation holes 7 are covered with the cloth cloth 1b and are not clearly visible, there is almost no discomfort in appearance due to the ventilation holes 7. The other actions and effects of the shock absorbing material 1A are the same as those of the shock absorbing material 1, respectively.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4B, the shock absorbing material 1B according to the second modification of the first embodiment has the height H ₁ of the front covering portion 2 (the most from the front lower edge 2b) in the side view. _{The height H 2} (height from the rear lower edge 3b to the uppermost 3d) of the rear covering portion 3 with respect to the height up to the upper portion 2d _{is 1.8, and H 3} / H ₁ = 0.6, H ₃ / H ₂ = 0.3. That is, in the shock absorbing material 1B, H ₁ <H ₂ is set as in the shock absorbing material 1, and it is important to prevent a bang on the back of the head. Along with this, H _{1 /} D = _{0.3, H 2 /} _{D = 0.5, and H 3 /} D = 0.2. The values of H ₁ to H ₃ , H ₃ / H ₁ , H ₃ / H ₂ , and H ₁ / D to H ₃ / D are all rounded to the first decimal place (Fig. 4 (c)). ) Is the same.).
However, in the shock absorbing material 1B, the surface areas of the parietal opening portion 5 are further expanded by lowering the _{heights H 1} to H ₃ as compared with the case of the shock absorbing material 1. However, the head protection effect of the shock absorbing material 1B is such that the surface areas of the front covering portion 2 and the rear covering portion 3 of the shock absorbing material 1B are only slightly reduced as compared with the case of the shock absorbing material 1. The decrease in head protection effect is also slight.
Further, in the shock absorber 1B, the shock absorber 1 snap 6a, omitting one of 6b, the remaining one, and the front lower edge 2b corresponding to the height H ₁ in a side view, high It is arranged in an intermediate point between the rear lower edge 3b corresponding to the H _2. Further, the snaps 6a'to 6c' of the crown 51 are provided so as to be closer to each other than in the case of the first embodiment. Therefore, the snap 6a of the shock absorber 1B, by either attaching fastened to one of the snap 6a' ~ 6c' crown 51, it is possible to change the ratio of the volume of the gap _S 1, _{S 2.} Note that FIG. 4B shows how the snap 6a of the shock absorbing material 1B is fastened to the snap 6b'of the crown 51. Other than this, the structure of the shock absorbing material 1B is the same as that of the shock absorbing material 1.

In the shock absorbing material 1B having the above configuration, the surface area of the top opening portion 5 is expanded as compared with the shock absorbing material 1, so that the stuffiness of the head of the hat wearer can be further prevented.
_{Further, in the shock absorbing material 1B, the volume ratio of the gaps S 1} and S ₂ can be changed by changing the fastening position of the snap 6a of the shock absorbing material 1B with respect to the snaps 6a'to 6c' of the crown 51. Therefore, the air permeability between the frontal region 51a and the anterior covering portion 2 of the crown 51 and the air permeability between the back head region 51b and the posterior covering portion 3 can be adjusted. Therefore, according to the shock absorber 1B, the head protection effect is slightly reduced as compared with the shock absorber 1, while the stuffiness prevention effect in the entire hat 50 is improved, and the frontal region 51a and the occipital region 51a and the occipital region. The degree of the stuffiness prevention effect can be changed for each region 51b. The other actions and effects of the shock absorbing material 1B are the same as those of the shock absorbing material 1, respectively.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the shock absorber 1C according to a third modification of the first embodiment, the height H ₂ of the rear cover 3 with respect to the height H ₁ of the front cover section 2 It is set to 1.0 and H ₃ / H ₁ = H ₃ / H ₂ = 0.3. That is, in the shock absorbing material 1C, H ₁ = H _2, and it is emphasized to prevent the banging of the frontal region and the occipital region to the same extent. However, the shock absorbers 1C, since the height H ₃ was lower than the height H ₃ of the shock absorber 1, the surface area of the top opening 5, is secured to the same extent as if the shock absorber 1. Along with this, H _{1 /} D = _{0.4, H 2 /} _{D = 0.4, and H 3 /} D = 0.1.
Further, the shock absorbing material 1C is provided with a substantially elliptical surface fastener 9a instead of the

snaps

6a and 6b of the shock absorbing material 1. On the other hand, in the crown 51, instead of the snaps 6a'and 6b', a substantially rectangular surface fastener 9b having a larger area than the surface fastener 9a is provided in the

bilateral head regions

51c and 51c, respectively. Therefore, the surface fastener 9a of the shock absorber 1C, by either attaching fastened in any position of the surface fastener 9b crown 51, it is possible to change the ratio of the volume of the gap S _1, S _2. Among them, and put fastening surface fasteners 9a to a higher position in the range of the surface fastener 9b, in particular it is possible to increase the volume of the gap S _1, S ₂ in the height direction (direction away from the crown 51 upward). Other than this, the structure of the shock absorbing material 1C is the same as that of the shock absorbing material 1.

In the shock absorbing material 1C having the above configuration, the surface area of the parietal opening portion 5 can be maintained as compared with the shock absorbing material 1, and the frontal region and the occipital region can be protected to the same extent from the impact. Therefore, for example, the shock absorbing material 1C can be preferably used when no special tendency is observed in the tipping direction.
Further, in the shock absorbing material 1C, the fastening position of the surface fastener 9a of the shock absorbing material 1B to the surface fastener 9b of the crown 51 can be changed in various ways. Therefore, the gap S _1, because it becomes possible to vary the volume of S ₂ in the height direction, and ventilation between the frontal region 51a and the front cover portion 2 of the crown 51, the occipital region 51b and the rear cover portion The air permeability between 3 can be adjusted more widely. The other actions and effects of the shock absorbing material 1C are the same as those of the shock absorbing material 1.

As described above, in the case of FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c), _{the range of H 1} / D is 0.3 to 0.4, and _{the range of H 2} / D is 0.4 to 0.4. It is 0.6. The range of H ₃ / D is 0.1 to 0.2. Among them, as the shock absorbing material 1A in FIG. 4 _(a), the when the H 2 /D=0.6, although the top 3d of the rear cover portion 3 has reached near the top of the crown 51, By _{setting both H 1} / D and H ₃ / D to _{be lower than H 2} / D = 0.6, the size of the surface area of the parietal opening portion 5 is secured to a certain level or more.

Next, the shock absorbing material for a hat and the shock absorbing hat according to the fourth modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5 (a) and 5 (b) are perspective views of the hat shock absorber according to the fourth modification of the hat shock absorber of Example 1, respectively, when viewed from the front upward direction. b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in (a) when the shock absorber for the hat is attached to the hat shown in FIG. 2 (b). The components shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 are designated by the same reference numerals in FIG. 5, and the description thereof will be omitted. Further, in FIG. 5B, the display of the awning 53 is omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the shock absorbing material 1D according to the fourth modification of the first embodiment has a plurality of protrusions 12 on the inner surface of the shock absorbing material 1 according to the first embodiment. Are formed at intervals from each other.
The protrusion 12 has a solid structure having a cylindrical shape, and is integrally formed with the sheet body 1a by pressing a foamed resin material having the same quality as the sheet body 1a of the shock absorbing material 1. Alternatively, one end face of the protrusion 12 may be fixed to the sheet body 1a by adhesive or heat welding.
The height h of each projection 12 (see FIG. 5 (b)) are all equal, when fitted with a shock absorber 1D hat 50, hat 50 so that the gap _S 1, _{S 2} can be secured crown It may be determined in consideration of the size of 51 and the size of the shock absorber 1D.

Further, the protrusions 12 are distributed substantially evenly on the entire inner surface of the shock absorbing material 1D, but it is desirable that the protrusions 12 are not provided around the

snaps

6a and 6b. This is to prevent the

snaps

6a and 6b from becoming difficult to engage with the snaps 6a'and 6b' of the hat 50. In addition, even if the height h of the protrusions 12 distributed on the inner surfaces of the front covering portion 2 and the rear covering portion 3 is designed to be higher than the height h of the protrusions 12 distributed on the inner surfaces of the bilateral

head covering portions

4 and 4. good. Further, the protrusion 12 has a cross section of an ellipse, a polygon, or an indefinite shape as long as it has a height h, in addition to having a cylindrical shape. Further, the vertical cross section (cross-sectional shape in the height direction) of the protrusion 12 may be columnar, spindle-shaped or trapezoidal. That is, the protrusion 12 may be in a shape in which it is difficult to bend or bend in the height direction.

In the shock absorbing material 1D having the above configuration, when the shock absorbing material 1D is attached to the hat 50, the tops of the plurality of protrusions 12 come into contact with the crown 51 of the hat 50. Therefore, a plurality of protrusions 12 act as spacers in the gap _S 1, _{S 2.}
Therefore, according to the shock absorber 1D, since the projection 12 acts as a spacer, for example, when a strong wind blows, the gap S _1, S ₂ is not able to disappear, it can exhibit the effect of preventing stuffiness stably be. Further, since the protrusion 12 itself has shock absorption, the head protection effect can be improved. The other actions and effects of the shock absorbing material 1D are the same as those of the shock absorbing material 1.

Next, the shock absorbing cap according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6 (a) and 6 (b) are a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 3 (b) and a line taken along the line DD in FIG. 6 (a), respectively, of the shock absorbing cap according to the second embodiment. It is a cross-sectional view. The components shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 are designated by the same reference numerals in FIG. 6, and the description thereof will be omitted. Also, the display of the awning 53 of the hat 50 is omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the shock absorbing cap 10 according to the second embodiment includes a shock absorbing material 1 and a mounting member 11 for mounting the shock absorbing material 1 on the outside of the crown 51. Be prepared.
Specifically, the mounting member 11 is the snaps 6a to 6b'shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Specifically, both ends 2c and 2c of the front covering portion 2 and both ends 3c and 3c of the rear covering portion 3 are connected to the

bilateral head regions

51c and 51c via snaps 6a to 6b'. Thus, the gap S ₁ is formed between the front surface of the frontal region 51a of the front cover portion 2 of the back surface of the crown 51, and the rear cover portions rear face of the front surface of the occipital region 51b A gap S ₂ is formed between them.
Among them, in the clearance S _1, the shock absorber 1 is attached to a slightly lifted position from the front lower edge 2b Gatsuba 52 via a snap 6a ~ 6b'. A tack 54 is formed in the occipital region 51b of the crown 51, and the occipital region 51b can be expanded and contracted in the left-right width direction.

In the shock absorbing cap 10 having the above configuration, in addition to having an effect in the case of mounting a shock absorbing material 1 already mentioned cap 50, through the gap S _1, S ₂ air can pass through.
Among them, in the gap S _1, as shown by the arrow X _1, the air A ₁ which is transmitted to emit frontal area 51a from the interior of the crown 51, rises in the gap S ₁ example, dwell therein Is prevented.

Further, since the shock absorbing material 1 is attached so that the front lower edge 2b slightly rises from the brim 52, the wind blowing toward the shock absorbing material 1 passes through the gap between the front lower edge 2b and the brim 52. and, merges with the air _{a 1.} This confluence, the wind from the outer to rise in the gap S ₁ while cooling the air A _1. Therefore, the action of preventing the retention of _{air A 1 is promoted.}
Further, the gap S _2, as shown by the arrow X _2, the air A ₂ emitted passes through the occipital region 51b from the interior of the crown 51, to raise or lower the gap S _2, retention therein Is prevented.
In addition, according to a gap S _1, S ₂ is formed, an impact by the front covering part 2 and a rear cover section 3 can significantly deformed can be effectively absorbed, the head protecting effect improved Can be made to.

According to the shock absorbing cap 10, in addition to having the effect when the shock absorbing material 1 described above is attached to the hat 50 _{, the air A 1} and A ₂ are _{formed in the gap S 1} and S _{2 due} to the formation of the gaps S 1 and S 2. _1, since it is prevented from remaining inside the S _2, it is possible to prevent the heat confined within the gap S _1, S _2. Therefore, according to the shock-absorbing cap 10, by the gap S _1, S _2, it is possible to improve the effect of preventing stuffiness.
Further, according to the shock absorbing cap 10, even when the mounting position of the shock absorbing material 1 with respect to the crown 51 is uniquely determined, the width of the front covering portion 2 (the length between both ends 2c and 2c) and , the width of the rear cover portions gap _S 1 (both ends 3c, between 3c length) to by adjusting each, _{S 2} in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 3 (a height shown in a) _{H 1} and the height _{H 2} The width can be changed in the direction of the straight line connecting the two. _{As a result, the volumes of the gaps S 1} and S ₂ can be adjusted according to the weather and the season, so that the effect of preventing stuffiness can be improved.
Further, when it is difficult for the head to get stuffy due to low temperature, it is possible to keep the head warm by not forming a wide gap. Further, when the mounting position of the shock absorbing material 1 can be changed with respect to the crown 51 as in the case of the shock absorbing materials 1B and 1C according to the second and third modified examples of the first embodiment. However, since the volumes of the gaps S ₁ and S ₂ can be adjusted during use, the convenience can be further improved.

The shock absorbing material and the shock absorbing cap according to the present invention are not limited to those shown in the examples. For example, in the shock absorbers 1, 1A to 1D, as long as H ₁ : H ₂ = 1: 0.8 to 2.5 and H ₃ is smaller than _{H 1} _{and smaller than H 2} , H ₁ to the ratio between H ₃ is 3 may be a combination other than that shown in FIG. 4 (a) to FIG. 4 (c), a belt sides

head covering portion

4, 4 is not provided, for example, the sheet member 1a It may be replaced. Further, the ventilation holes 7 of the shock absorbing material 1A may be omitted in the double-sided

head covering portions

4 and 4. Further, the ventilation holes 7 do not have to be substantially circular and may be unevenly distributed on the sheet body 1a.
Then, in the impact absorbing cap 10, is the mounting position relative to the shock absorber 1 crown 51 may not any gaps S _1, S ₂ are formed.
In addition, the front lower edge 2b of the front covering portion 2 is provided with a convex portion instead of forming a uniform straight line, so that the front lower edge 2b rises from the brim 52 regardless of the snaps 6a to 6b'. May be. In order to form the convex portion, for example, it is conceivable to make the front lower edge 2b into a wavy shape or to provide a protruding portion protruding downward from the front lower edge 2b.
This is because, for example, when the front covering portion 2 is pushed by a strong wind and the front lower edge 2b collides with the brim 52, the wind cannot pass through the gap between the front lower edge 2b and the brim 52. It suppresses that. If the front lower edge 2b is provided with a convex portion, even if the front lower edge 2b collides with the brim 52, a gap is likely to remain between them, and it is considered that the amount of wind passing through this gap can be secured to a certain level or more.
In this case, the wind blowing toward the shock absorbing material 1 flows into the gap between the front lower edge 2b and the brim 52, and the stuffiness prevention effect can be surely exhibited. Further, when the hat 50 is assumed to have a brim on the entire circumference of the crown 51, the above-mentioned convex portion may be provided on the rear lower edge 3b of the rear covering portion 3 in addition to the front lower edge 2b. ..

The present invention can sufficiently exert both a shock absorbing effect on the head and preventing stuffiness, and can be used as a shock absorbing hat having excellent design.
