Description

This invention relates to a hat that will not fly away even when the wind blows, as well as parts for the hat and a method for processing the hat.

Traditionally, various methods have been used to prevent hats from being blown off by strong winds. For example, chin straps or rubber bands are used to stop hats from flying off if they come off. However, chin straps are not considered fashionable, so they are rarely used except for hats for infants.

On the other hand, it has also been considered to use a clamping piece that clamps the wearer's head instead of the chin strap.
The hat of Patent Document 1 is shown in Figure 7. The hat 1 is made up of a body 2 and a brim 3, and a bag portion 5 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of an opening 4 of the hat 1. A clamping piece 7 that elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head is housed in this bag portion 5.
The clamping piece 7 is a C-shaped elastic member as shown in FIG. 8, with both ends widened to increase the inside diameter so that the hat 1 can be fitted onto the head of a wearer.

The bag portion 5 is formed by sewing a cloth belt to a ribbon 6 provided along the inner circumference of the opening 4, leaving only the back of the head of the main body 2, and has insertion holes 5a, 5b at both ends. The clamping piece 7 can be inserted and removed through these insertion holes 5a, 5b. The insertion holes 5a, 5b are located at positions corresponding to both ends of the clamping piece 7, and when inserted, the entire length of the clamping piece 7 is accommodated in the bag portion 5.
Therefore, when putting on the hat 1, the clamping piece 7 is opened together with the bag part 5, and the main body 2 is attached to the head, and the elastic force of the clamping piece 7 lightly presses down on the wearer's head, so that the hat 1 will not fly off even if the wind blows.

Utility Model Registration No. 3049348

The above-mentioned conventional cap 1 that does not fly off is designed to be worn with the clamping pieces 7 spread out, and a light tightening force acts on the head while it is being worn. Therefore, the inner circumference of the opening 4 has a dimension that allows some margin so that the inner diameter becomes larger when the clamping pieces 7 inserted in the bag part 5 are spread out.
In this way, the inner diameter of the covering opening 4 of the main body 2 is made with a margin for the changing outer diameter of the clamping piece 7, so that in the portion that does not expand in diameter integrally with the clamping piece 7, wrinkles form on the outer periphery of the covering opening 4.
In particular, in a hat that is sized to fit loosely around the wearer's head, the length of the portion not fastened by the clamping piece 7 is long, causing wrinkles around the outer periphery of the opening 4 to be conspicuous, detracting from the fashionability of the hat.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a hat that will not fly off even in strong winds while maintaining its design and fashionability, as well as parts for the hat and a method for processing the hat.

The hat of the first invention comprises a hat body, a band-shaped retaining member with multiple insertion holes in the length direction and provided on the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the hat body, and a clamping piece that is rod-shaped or plate-shaped and can be inserted into the insertion holes and is elastically deformed according to the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat to be attached to the head of the wearer, the multiple insertion holes are provided in the retaining member so as to be located in a forward region of the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the hat body that is half or less of the inner peripheral dimension, and the clamping piece is inserted into the insertion hole of the retaining member, so that a portion of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member and the other portion of the clamping piece is exposed inside the hat body.

In the hat of the second invention, the clamping piece is U-shaped or C-shaped with a length that is at least half and less than nine-tenths of the inner circumference of the opening, and the middle portion of the clamping piece in the longitudinal direction is held by the holding member.

The third invention relates to a hat part comprising a belt-shaped retaining member having a plurality of insertion holes formed in the length direction and attached to the inner surface of the mouth of the hat body of the hat, and a clamping piece having a rod or plate shape that can be inserted into the insertion holes and that elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat to be attached to the head of the wearer, the plurality of insertion holes being formed in the retaining member so as to be located in a forward region of the inner surface of the mouth of the hat body that is less than half the inner dimension of the inner surface of the mouth of the hat body, the clamping piece being C- or U-shaped with a gap between both ends, and when inserted into the insertion hole of the retaining member, a portion of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member, and the other portion of the clamping piece is exposed to the inside of the hat body.

A fourth invention relates to a method of processing a hat, in which a retaining member having a band-like shape and a plurality of insertion holes spaced apart in the lengthwise direction is positioned with the insertion holes in a front region of the inner surface of the mouth of the hat that is less than half the inner peripheral dimension of the inner surface of the mouth of the hat, and the retaining member is attached to the inner surface of the mouth of the hat, and a rod-shaped or plate-shaped clamping piece that elastically deforms according to the dimensions of the head of a wearer of the hat and is attached to the head of the wearer is inserted into the insertion hole of the retaining member, so that a part of the clamping piece is held by the retaining member, and the other part of the clamping piece is exposed to the inside of the hat body.

A fifth invention relates to a method for processing a hat, which comprises providing a band body having a predetermined length and a sticker bearing a plurality of hole position marks arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, overlaying the sticker on the band body, and forming the insertion holes along the hole position marks.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the clamping member held by the hat body via the holding member clamps the head, thereby preventing the hat body from being blown away by the wind. In particular, since the front area of the hat body's opening is held down by the clamping piece, the hat is resistant to wind blowing from the front, and the hat body does not float up when running.
In addition, because only a portion of the clamping piece is inserted into the retaining member along the opening, even if the clamping piece and the inside circumference of the opening do not match, the appearance of the hat body is not affected by wrinkles on the outside circumference of the opening, etc. Therefore, even if the inside circumference of the opening differs, the hat can be worn without compromising its design or fashionability.

According to the second invention, more than half of the circumference of the wearer's head is surrounded by the clamping pieces, and the length of the opening where both ends of the clamping pieces face each other is smaller than the diameter of the head, so even if a force acts on the clamping pieces due to wind or the like, the opening will not open and the clamping pieces will not come off the head. In addition, because both ends of the clamping pieces are open, the inner circumference of the opening at the back of the head is not pressed against the head, reducing the uncomfortable feeling of tightness when wearing the hat.

According to the third invention, by using the holding member and the clamping piece, it is possible to create a hat that maintains fashionability and does not fly off in the wind, or to modify an existing hat.

According to the fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention, an existing hat can be modified into a hat that maintains its fashionability and will not fly off in the wind.

[First embodiment]
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Fig. 1 is an external perspective view of the hat of the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the first embodiment, Fig. 3 is a partially enlarged view of a holding member of the first embodiment, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of a clamping piece.
The hat 10 of the first embodiment has a brim 12 around the periphery of the hat body 11 .
As shown in the bottom view of Figure 2, a band-shaped holding member 14 is provided along the inner circumferential surface of the opening 13 of the hat body 11, and a clamping piece 15 is held by this holding member 14.
In addition, in Figs. 1 and 2, F indicates the front of the hat 10 (the side in front of the wearer), and R indicates the rear (the side behind the wearer).
With respect to a center line L1 that divides the covering opening 13 in two, the region on the F side is referred to as a front region, and the region on the R side is referred to as a rear region.

The holding member 14 is constructed by attaching both widthwise ends of a cloth belt as shown in Fig. 3 along the inner circumference of the covering opening 13. The holding member 14 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 14a, 14b in the longitudinal direction thereof, through which the clamping pieces 15, which will be described later, can be inserted.
These insertion holes 14a, 14b are located within the front region of the hat body 11. Specifically, the centers of the insertion holes 14a, 14b (center line L2 shown in FIG. 3) are aligned with the front surface (F) of the hat body 11.
The holding member 14 may have a length equal to the entire circumference of the covering opening 13, or may have a length corresponding to only a part of the front region. The length of the holding member 14 is not limited as long as the insertion holes 14a and 14b are provided so as to be located in a front region that is half or less of the inner circumference dimension on the inner circumferential surface of the covering opening 13.

The hat 10 of the first embodiment is equipped with clamping pieces 15 that elastically deform in accordance with the dimensions of the head of the wearer of the hat 10. The clamping pieces 15 are rod- or plate-shaped, for example, substantially C-shaped spring-like resin members, similar to the conventional clamping pieces 7. When the ends 15a and 15b that correspond to the opening of the C-shape are opened in the direction of the arrows, they elastically deform as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.
The overall length of the clamping piece 15 along the C-shape is equal to or greater than half and less than nine-tenths of the inner circumferential dimension of the covering opening 13 .
In addition, the clamping piece 15 is not limited to a C-shape as long as it can be elastically deformed along the outer periphery of the wearer's head. For example, the clamping piece 15 may be U-shaped or may have another shape.

In the hat 10 of this embodiment, a portion of the clamping piece 15 is held by the holding member 14 .
Specifically, one end 15a of the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the holding member 14 through one insertion hole 14a formed in the holding member 14 and pulled out through the other insertion hole 14b, so that only the central portion 15c, which is the middle portion of the clamping piece 15, is held by the holding member 14, as shown in Fig. 2. Therefore, the parts of the clamping piece 15 other than the central portion 15c are exposed from the holding member 14 to the inside of the opening 13, i.e., inside the hat body 11.

[Actions and Effects]
When putting on the hat 10 of the first embodiment, the clamping pieces 15 are opened and placed on the head from the front while the hat body 11 is pressed from above.
The hat 10 can prevent the hat body 11 from flying away due to wind by clamping the wearer's head with the clamping pieces inside the hat body 11. In particular, since the front area of the opening 13 of the hat body 11 is held down by the clamping pieces 15, resistance to wind blowing from the front is strong, and the hat body 11 will not float up when running.

In this hat 10, only a portion (center portion 15c) of the clamping piece 15 is inserted into the retaining member 14 along the opening 13, so even if the clamping piece 15 and the inner circumference dimensions of the opening 13 do not match, there is no effect on the appearance of the hat body 11, such as wrinkles on the outer circumference of the opening 13. Therefore, even if the inner circumference dimensions of the opening 13 are different, the hat can be worn without compromising its design or fashionability. Also, even if the clamping piece 15 and the inner circumference dimensions of the opening 13 do not match, the hat body 11 does not float up and the design and fashionability are not compromised, so the wearer can confidently choose a hat with a wide inner circumference of the opening 13 that will not disrupt his or her hairstyle.

The length of the clamping piece 15 is more than half the inner circumference of the mouth 13, and the length of the openings at both ends 15a, 15b is smaller than the diameter of the head. In other words, since both ends 15a, 15b are positioned at the back of the head, even if a force is applied to the clamping piece 15 by wind or the like, the openings will not open and the clamping piece 15 will not come off the head. In addition, since more than half of the head circumference is surrounded, the tightening force due to the elasticity of the clamping piece 15 is not concentrated in one area, and wearing the clamping piece 15 creates little discomfort.

Furthermore, because the length of the clamping piece 15 is less than 9/10 of the inner periphery of the opening 13, the distance between the ends 15a and 15b of the clamping piece 15 is maintained at the back of the head when the clamping piece 15 is placed on the head along the opening 13. Because there is an opening between both ends of the clamping piece, the inner periphery of the opening 13 is not pressed against the head at the back of the head, reducing the uncomfortable feeling of tightness when wearing the hat.
In particular, if the clamping piece 15 has both ends 15a, 15b overlapping and is pressed down by the hat body 11, the pressure may be concentrated and cause pain in the back of the head, but in this embodiment, the distance between the clamping piece 15 and both ends 15a, 15b is maintained, so this does not happen.

[Second embodiment]
FIG. 5 is a front view of a holding member 16 provided on a hat according to the second embodiment.
In the hat of the second embodiment, the holding member 16 is different from the holding member 14, but the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following, reference will be made to Figures 1 and 2 showing the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the holding member 14 in Figures 1 and 2 is replaced with the holding member 16.

The retaining member 16 has four through holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d. The distance d1 between the through holes 16a and 16b on the left side of the figure is equal to the distance d2 between the through holes 16c and 16d on the right side, and the distances d1 and d2 are smaller than the distance d3 between the central through holes 16b and 16c.

In the second embodiment, the retaining member 16 is also provided along the inner circumference of the opening 13 of the hat body 11, and the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d are positioned in a front region that is half or less of the inner circumference of the opening 13. For example, the center of the insertion holes 16b and 16c is positioned at the front surface of the hat body 11.
The clamping piece 15 is inserted into any two of the four insertion holes 16 a , 16 b , 16 c , and 16 d , and a part (middle) of the clamping piece 15 is held by the holding member 16 .

[Actions and Effects]
In the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the clamping piece 15 is attached to the head, so that the hat 10 is prevented from being blown away by the wind. Moreover, since only a part of the clamping piece 15 is held in place, the hat body 11 does not wrinkle, and the fashionability can be maintained, just like in the first embodiment.

Furthermore, since there are a large number of insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d, the holding length of the clamping piece 15 can be adjusted by inserting the clamping piece 15 through which insertion hole. For example, when the clamping piece 15 is inserted through the insertion holes 16a and 16d at both ends, the holding length for holding the clamping piece 15 is the longest, and when the clamping piece 15 is inserted through the insertion holes 16a and 16b, the holding length is the shortest. When the clamping piece 15 is inserted through the central insertion holes 16b and 16c, the holding length is slightly longer than the shortest distance, and when the clamping piece 15 is inserted through the insertion holes 16a and 16c, the holding length is slightly longer than that. In this way, the holding length of the clamping piece 15 can be adjusted by the combination of insertion holes through which the clamping piece 15 is inserted.

By adjusting the holding length of the clamping piece 15 in this way, the pressing force on the hat body 11 can be adjusted. For example, by inserting the clamping piece 15 through the insertion holes 16a and 16d at both ends to increase the holding length, a long range of the opening 13 is pressed down, and the hat body 11 can be held more securely. In this case, the clamping piece 15 may be inserted only through the insertion holes 16a and 16d at both ends, or may be inserted through all of the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d, as if sewing the holding member 16.

Furthermore, when there is a large difference between the dimensions and shapes of the clamping piece 15 and the opening 13, shortening the holding length of the clamping piece 15 can prevent wrinkles from forming on the outer periphery of the hat body 11. Therefore, it is preferable to select the holding length of the clamping piece 15 based on the balance between the size and shape of the opening 13 and the clamping piece 15.
In this embodiment, the centers of the insertion holes 16b, 16c are positioned at the front and the arrangement is symmetrical, so that the hat body 11 can be held in a balanced manner by selectively using the pair of insertion holes 16b, 16c which provides a shorter holding length or the pair of insertion holes 16a, 16d which provides a longer holding length.
Furthermore, the intervals between the insertion holes 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d of the holding member 16 are not particularly limited and can be set according to the dimensions of the cap 13. For example, in the case of an adult medium-sized cap, it is preferable that the intervals d1 and d2 shown in Fig. 5 are about 3 cm, and the interval d3 is about 4 cm.

In the first and second embodiments, the hat body 11 includes the holding members 14, 16 and the clamping piece 15. However, the holding members 14, 16 and the clamping piece 15 may be prepared as hat parts.
By using the above hat parts, hats of various designs can be processed into hats that do not fly away in the wind. Furthermore, hat wearers can also process existing hats using the above processing method.

[Third embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a plan view of a hat part for forming a holding member of the third embodiment.
The hat part is constituted as a set of a cloth band body 19 which is attached to the hat body to form a holding member, a seal 17, and a clip piece 15 (see FIG. 3).
As shown in Fig. 6(A), the sticker 17 is a paper strip attached to a release paper 18 by an adhesive layer on the back side, and has a number of hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d displayed at a predetermined interval. These hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d correspond to the insertion holes through which the clamping piece 15 can be inserted. The hole position marks are set based on an appropriate holding length of the clamping piece for a hat body of general dimensions. For example, the interval between the hole position marks 17a and 17d can be set for an L size, and the interval between the hole position marks 17b and 17c can be set for an S size.

When preparing a retaining member for a hat, the sticker 17 is peeled off from the release paper 18 and attached to the band body 19 as shown in Fig. 6(B). After that, insertion holes are formed in the band body 19 together with the sticker 17 along the hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d using a cutter or the like from above the sticker 17. At this time, insertion holes corresponding to all of the hole position marks 17a, 17b, 17c, and 17d may be opened, or only necessary holes may be opened according to the size of the wearer's head, etc.
Once the insertion holes are formed in the belt body 19, the belt body 19 can be placed along the inner circumference of the opening 13 of the hat body 11 to serve as a retaining member.
With the seal 17, a suitable insertion hole can be easily formed in the band body 19.
In addition, a sweat-stop ribbon that is already provided on the inner surface of the hat body may be used in place of the band body for the retaining member, and in that case, by using the above-mentioned seal 17, anyone can open an insertion hole in the appropriate position.

The clamping piece 15 as a hat part can be made detachable from the holding member so that it can be used for multiple hats without having to be prepared for each hat. However, the clamping piece 15 can also be fixed to the hat body 11 via the holding member.

It can prevent a variety of hats from being blown away by the wind without compromising their fashionability.
