CONSTITUTION:An artificial skin 12 is formed by coating a head mold 13 with a resin and drying the resin. Before or after planting hairs 14 to the surface of the artificial skin, the artificial skin is turned inside out, a net 15 is placed on the surface, a resin is applied to the net and the net 15 is removed to form an irregular surface on the surface.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a wig.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when manufacturing a wig using a wig base made of artificial skin, the following steps have been adopted.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, first, a head-shaped male mold l is formed using precision molding plaster, for example, corresponding to the shape of the user's head.

A resin sheet is formed by coating this male mold 1 with a liquid thermoplastic resin, for example, a synthetic resin having rubber elasticity such as polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin, and the resin sheet is heated and dried to obtain a film thickness of 10 to 250 I. A wig base 2 made of artificial skin having a curved shape and having a width that fits the user's head is manufactured (see FIG. 3(A)).

After the hair 3 consisting of hair or artificial hair is implanted on the surface of the wig base 2 (see Fig. 3 (B)).
, the above-mentioned synthetic resin solution having rubber elasticity is applied to the concave back surface of the wig base 2.

After drying, a back coating is applied to completely cover and fix the joints of hair 3 exposed on the back surface of the wig base 2.

As a result, the completed wig 1 is attached to its wig base 2.
The hair 3 implanted on the surface of the hair is prevented from rotating or falling out.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the wig manufactured in this way, the wig base 2 itself is relatively transparent, so it does not look luxurious, and furthermore, both the front and back surfaces of the wig base are smooth. When the wig base is observed through the gaps between the hairs, an unnatural luster still remains even if the wig base has been subjected to a matte treatment, and there has been a problem in that the wig base is easily visible to third parties.

In addition, the back side of the wig base 2 is finished smooth with a back coating, so it will come into close contact with the user's scalp more than necessary when wearing it, and the user will feel the hardness of the wig base and the pressure on the scalp. As a result, it is uncomfortable and tends to cause sweating, which can accumulate between the scalp and the wig base and sometimes leak out, giving an unnatural feeling. .

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a wig using a wig base that has a skin feel and a method for manufacturing the same.

(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the present invention, the above object is achieved by applying resin to the surface of a male mold formed corresponding to the shape of the head, preferably through a release sheet. A wig is manufactured by forming artificial skin by coating and heating and drying it, and by transplanting hair onto the surface of a wig base mainly made of this artificial skin or a wig base having at least a portion of the artificial skin. In the method for manufacturing a wig, after or before the hair-planting process, the artificial skin is covered with a net member, preferably, the mesh is made irregular in size and shape in advance. With a net member processed by brushing etc. placed thereon, a resin coating is applied over the net member, and then the net member is removed to give the artificial skin an uneven pattern, for example, a skin pattern. This is achieved by a wig manufacturing method and a wig in which the uneven skin pattern is formed on the back side of artificial skin.

[For production]

According to this invention, grooves corresponding to the shape and size of the net member are formed by coating the artificial skin that constitutes the wig base with a resin over the net member and then removing the net member. It turns out.

As a result, when the artificial skin is observed from the surface, the uneven pattern formed on the artificial skin of the wig base can be seen through the gaps between the hairs, giving a skin feel and a sense of luxury. Furthermore, since the artificial skin has more flexibility due to its unevenness, discomfort will not be caused when worn. Furthermore, the numerous irregularities of the artificial skin cause diffused reflection,
It becomes difficult for third parties to see the wig base.

In addition, if one side of the artificial skin, for example, the back side, is made uneven, the back side of the artificial skin will not come into close contact with the user's scalp and put strong pressure on it when the wig is worn.
The large number of concavities and convexities provide breathability, suppressing sweating, and when sweating occurs, the sweat gradually flows out along the concavities and convexities, so it does not give an unnatural feeling.

Furthermore, by forming the concave grooves on the back surface, warping of the artificial skin is reduced, thereby preventing the wig base from floating.

Furthermore, since the unevenness of the back surface of the artificial skin due to the above-mentioned net can be realized without making any major changes to the conventional wig manufacturing process, the manufacturing cost of the wig does not increase.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a wig according to the present invention.

The wig according to this example is manufactured as follows.

That is, as in the conventional case shown in FIG. 3, first, a head-shaped male mold 11 made of, for example, precision molding plaster is mold-released in accordance with the shape of the user's head. A resin sheet corresponding to the curved shape of the head is formed by repeating the process of applying and drying a liquid thermoplastic resin, for example, a synthetic resin with rubber elasticity such as polycarbonate polyurethane, several times through a sheet. The wig base 12 is made of artificial skin and has a thickness of 0 to 250 μm (see FIG. 1(A)).

Here, the wig base 12 is removed from the male mold 11, and a wig stand 13 of the same type as the male mold 11, for example, made of epoxy resin made from a female mold (not shown) for making the above-mentioned male mold l. The wig base 12 is set on a wig stand 13, and hair 14 made of hair and/or artificial hair is appropriately implanted on the surface of the wig base 12 made of artificial skin (see FIG. 1 CB).

Next, the hair-planted wig base 12 is removed from the wig stand 13 and set upside down on the wig stand 13.

In this state, a back coating L2a is applied to the outside exposed back surface of the wig base 12 by applying a liquid thermoplastic resin, for example, a synthetic resin having rubber elasticity such as a polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin. The exposed part of the hair 14 on the back side of the wig base, that is, the knot, is completely covered with the back coating 12a to fix the hair 14 so that it does not rotate or fall off. (See Figure 1 (C)),
This prevents the hair knots on the back of the wig from hitting and damaging the user's scalp when wearing the wig.

Up to this point, the same steps as in the conventional wig manufacturing method can be adopted, but in the wig manufacturing method according to this embodiment,
As the next step, the wig base 12 coated with the back coating 12a as described above is coated with the entire back surface of the wig base 12 while being set upside down on the wig stand 13, as shown in FIG. 1(D). The net member 15 is placed so as to be in contact with the entire area (see FIG. 2(A)). This net member 15 is, for example, 20 to 250 deniers and 12
A plain weave mesh net made of 0 to 1100 nylon, polyester, Teflon, etc. is processed by brushing with a metal brush or the like so that the size and shape of each mesh are irregular. By processing in this way, for example, a pattern that resembles human skin (
This creates a mesh shape (referred to as a skin pattern).

Next, the wig base 12 is placed over the net member 15.
By applying a liquid thermoplastic resin, for example, a synthetic resin having rubber elasticity such as polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin, several times to the back side of the artificial skin constituting the net member 15 and drying it, the net member 15 is made thick enough to just hide it. A resin coating 16 is applied to the surface (see FIG. 2(B)).

Thereafter, a solvent for the synthetic resin constituting the resin coating 16 is further sprayed from above using a spray gun to partially dissolve the resin coating 16. In this state, the net member 15 is attached to the wig base 12.
(See FIG. 1(E)) and dry the resin coating 16. As a result, on the back surface of the wig base 12, irregular skin pattern-like concave grooves 1 formed by the mesh of the net member 15 are formed on the back coating 12a.
7 (see FIG. 2(C)).

Finally, a protective coating (not shown) is applied to the back surface of the wig base 12 by spraying a liquid thermoplastic resin, for example, a synthetic resin with rubber elasticity such as polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin, with a spray gun and drying it. As a result, the edges of the above-mentioned irregular skin pattern concave grooves are covered with a protective coating, thereby preventing the edges from hitting the user's scalp and damaging the user's scalp when wearing the wig. Thereafter, the wig base 12 is removed from the wig stand 13, washed, turned over again and set on the wig stand 13, the curved shape is corrected by heat treatment, and the peripheral edge of the wig base 12 is cut as appropriate. By doing this, the wig will be completed.

The wig according to this embodiment is manufactured as described above, and the wig base 12 is made of artificial skin, after which the hair is implanted, a back coating 12a is applied to the back side of the wig base 12, a resin coating 16 is applied from above the net member 15, and the net member 15 is coated with a resin coating 16. Part 1
By removing 5, a concave groove 17 having a shape corresponding to the mesh of the net member 15 is formed, so that the back surface of the artificial skin of the wig base 12 is made uneven.

This prevents the back side of the wig base 12 from coming into close contact with the user's scalp and applying strong pressure when the wig is being worn, and the wig base 12 is flexible due to its unevenness, making it easier to wear the wig. In addition, the presence of the concave grooves provides some breathability, which suppresses sweating on the user's scalp, and even when sweating occurs, it does not pass through the concave grooves 17. Since the sweat flows gradually, a relatively large amount of sweat does not unnaturally flow out from between the wig base 12 and the user's scalp, and the concave groove 17 is present on the back surface. As a result, warping of the wig base 12 is reduced, thereby preventing the wig base 12 from floating up and improving the fit.

Furthermore, when observing the wig base 12 from the surface,
Since the concave groove 17 formed on the back surface can be seen through,
The skin-patterned shape gives a skin feel 7, giving a sense of luxury, and the unevenness of the back surface of the wig base 12 causes diffused reflection, making it difficult for third parties to see the wig base 12. Furthermore, the formation of the above-mentioned concave grooves can be realized without major changes to the conventional wig manufacturing process, and the net member 15 can be used repeatedly.

Note that the net member 15 can be removed by directly peeling off the resin coating 16 without using a solvent, by carefully peeling it off before it hardens (while it is only slightly dry) after applying the resin coating 16. .

In addition, by appropriately selecting the thread diameter and mesh size of this net member 15, the skin pattern can be freely changed, and by using a different net in some areas, the skin pattern can be changed in some areas. It is also possible to create wig bases with different values.

In the embodiment described above, the skin pattern is formed by applying the back coating 12a after hair is transplanted to the artificial skin, and then using the net member 15 from the back side of the artificial skin, but the application of this back coating 12a is omitted. However, the net member 15 may be directly placed on the back side of the artificial skin after hair transplantation, and the resin coating 16 may be applied as described above.
If this is done, the implanted hair 14 will not be exposed due to the presence of the skin-patterned resin coating 16, so that it will also serve as the back coating 12a.

Furthermore, the formation of skin-pattern-like unevenness may be performed in a similar manner before transplanting hair to the artificial skin. In this way, the surface of the artificial skin, that is, the hair 14 can be erected if necessary. The skin-pattern-like unevenness can be formed on the side facing the artificial skin, or it can be formed on both the front and back sides of the artificial skin.

Although the wig base 12 is entirely made of artificial skin in the above-described embodiment, only a portion of the wig base, such as the hair part or the heel, may be made of the uneven artificial skin. Of course.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, on one side of the artificial skin constituting the wig base, preferably on the back side of the artificial skin,
A net member, preferably a net member that has been processed by brushing or the like so that the mesh size is irregular, is placed on the net member, a resin coating is applied over the net member, and then the net member is coated with a resin. A wig is manufactured by removing the member and adding irregularities, such as a skin pattern, to the artificial skin.

In the wig manufactured in this way, the artificial skin that constitutes the wig base is coated with a resin over the net member, and then the net member is removed to form grooves in the shape of the net member. As a result, the artificial skin is provided with skin pattern-like unevenness. Therefore, when the artificial skin is observed from the surface, it can be seen through the gaps between the hairs just like the user's actual scalp, giving it a skin feel and giving it a luxurious feel. Furthermore, irregularities on the back surface of the artificial skin cause diffused reflection, making it difficult for third parties to see the wig base.

Furthermore, since the above-mentioned unevenness of the artificial skin due to the net can be realized without major changes to the conventional wig manufacturing process, the manufacturing cost of the wig does not increase.

In addition, if the above-mentioned unevenness is formed on the back side of the artificial skin, when the wig is worn, the back side of the artificial skin will not come into close contact with the user's scalp and put strong pressure on it, and since the artificial skin is uneven, Since it has flexibility, there will be no discomfort when wearing it. Furthermore, the unevenness provides breathability, which reduces sweating.
Moreover, when sweating occurs, the sweat gradually flows out along these many irregular irregularities, so that it does not give an unnatural feeling.

Furthermore, since the concave grooves are present on the front and/or back surfaces of the wig base, warping of the artificial skin is reduced, thereby preventing the wig base from floating.

Thus, according to the present invention, by using a wig base that has a skin feel, an extremely excellent wig that does not cause discomfort when worn and does not allow third parties to see the presence of the wig base can be manufactured. This means that it can be done.
