Description

Hats and hat forming methods

technical field

The invention relates to a hat and a hat forming method, in particular, after the moldable cap piece of the hat body is formed into an arc-shaped brim, the integrally formed outer cloth is supported by an integrally formed outer layer to maintain its shape. There is a need for an invention that uses seamed (or seam-joined) stiff cloth layers to support the outer cloth as in the conventional manner to form a curved cap piece.

Background technique

As shown in Figure 9, a conventional baseball cap (or peaked cap) is usually composed of six cap pieces A that are stitched together to form the cap body and then bonded to the brow piece B (about 80% of the baseball caps currently on the market are made in this way). In order to make the front portion of the baseball cap present an arc-shaped and upright shape, the front portion of the baseball cap is usually the joint A1 of the two cap pieces A, and the angle of the two cap pieces A at the joint A1 makes the baseball cap The front has a curved upright effect. However, the cap piece A at the junction A1 needs to be folded back and joined by seaming strips and seams, and even to fix the shape of the hat, a layer of front and back needs to be laminated, so the junction A1 is usually too thick. When the front of the baseball cap needs to be combined with embroidery or to make a pattern (decoration) in other ways, because of the unevenness and excessive thickness of the joint A1, it may cause broken threads, broken needles, etc. during embroidery, and may also cause other problems. There are various flaws in the pattern made by this method, and there is a problem of poor yield.

Referring to Fig. 10, in order to overcome the foregoing problems, another type of baseball cap is that a single piece of cap piece C is arranged on the front of the baseball cap, so that embroidery or patterns (decoration) made in other ways can be mostly arranged On the single-piece cap piece C, it is not necessary to pass through the joint C1 of the cap piece C, so it can reduce the situation of thread breakage and needle breakage during embroidery. However, this design method, because the cap piece C is only a single piece, can be embroidered or The range of the decoration (decoration) made by other methods is too small. When the range of the pattern is large, it will still exceed the junction C1, so it is not suitable for most of the patterns, and there are 2 seams in the front of the junction C1, which affects its appearance. , and this kind of baseball cap will have the front cap piece C of the baseball cap relatively flat, unable to present an arc-shaped and upright shape, which will affect its appearance.

Referring to Fig. 11, another kind of baseball cap type is that the single-piece cap piece D is arranged on the front portion of the baseball cap, but the single-piece cap piece D is enlarged to provide enough area for embroidery or use. Other ways to make patterns (decoration), but because the cap piece D is relatively large, the cap piece D needs to be cut and sewn to form a seam D1 at the top to form a curved brim to match the cap piece E on the back side of the baseball cap seam.

See U.S. Patent No. US10765162: Cap and method of manufacturing a cap. The cap body in this case is not made of multiple cap pieces, but is integrally formed by a single piece of cloth. But, referring to this case shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, in order to make the front portion of the hat be the arc-shaped upright shape, this case is pasted the inner hard cloth layer (buckram) after the outer layer cloth of the cap body is completed, but because The stretching and shaping effect of the buckram layer is poor, so it is necessary to stitch two or more buckram layers into an arc shape, and then attach the buckram layer to the formed outer layer Inside the fabric. This method requires multiple processes. In this case, the outer layer of fabric is first molded at an appropriate temperature and pressure, and then two or more pieces of hard cloth (buckram) that are sewn together are attached to the formed outer layer. layer of fabric. Therefore, there are often problems of inaccurate seaming of the buckram layer or misalignment of the buckram layer on the outer layer of fabric, resulting in defective defects, and it is necessary to embroider on the front of the cap body. , may also be affected by the seam joint of the buckram, which is prone to defects. And the outer cloth of this case can only be made of stretch cloth, which is limited by the applicability of cloth types, and cloth cannot be selected according to different needs. In addition, there are also two buckrams that are directly bonded to the inner surface of the outer layer of the cap body without sewing, so that the embroidery will not be affected by the sewing joint. However, since the two buckrams are not joined by seams, the joints are relatively soft and tend to dent after being stressed.
