Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a headgear worn to protect the head in rugby games.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, as shown in Fig. 1, the head gear A includes an annular band 1 that is fitted around the entire circumference of the frontal, temporal, and occipital areas, and a ring that extends from the center of the front upper edge of the annular band 1 to the head. Anteroposterior band portions 2 that pass through the top and reach the center of the upper edge of the rear portion, and left and right band portions 3 that extend from the center of the upper edge of the left side of the annular band portion 1 to the center of the upper edge of the right side through the top of the head.
and a chin strap 5 provided on the lower edges of the left and right sides of an annular band part 1 via ear flap pieces 4, and a cushioning material is provided on the entire inner surface of each band part.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] By the way, in rugby competitions, players under high school age are required to wear this headgear. However, in the conventional headgear, each band is made of a non-stretchable material, so the inner diameter of the annular band and the lengths of the front and rear and left and right bands remain unchanged. For this reason, each person's head has a different shape and size, and the number of people who can wear one piece of gear tightly is limited.

In particular, in schools where rugby is a regular physical education class, due to cost issues, they have the minimum amount of head gear necessary, and one gear is used by several people, which can cause the gear to be too tight against the head. The reality is that they are competing in an unsteady state.

Rugby is an intense sport, and if the gear does not fit snugly, it can come off during the game or cause pain from being squeezed around the head.

In view of the above points, the purpose of this invention is to provide a headgear that is not easily affected by the shape and size of the head and is easy to fit on any head.

[Means to solve problems]

In order to achieve the above purpose, this invention requires that a regular hat has a rubber band at the bottom of the back of the head that expands and contracts to accommodate the size of the head, and that the headgear has a cushioning material on the entire surface of each band. Since it is necessary to attach a , connect both cut ends with a rubber band and lock the rubber band to the other band, and cut the rear end of the annular band and connect both cut ends with a rubber band. This is what I did.

When wearing a headgear constructed in this way, differences in the shape and size of the head can be accommodated by the expansion and contraction of the rubber band, and most of the rubber band is covered by other bands. , there will be no large area without cushioning material due to the expansion and contraction of the rubber.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be demonstrated based on the accompanying drawings.

〔Example〕

As shown in the figure, this embodiment also consists of an annular band portion 1, front and rear band portions 2, left and right band portions 3, ear flap pieces 4, and a chin strap 5.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the annular band 1 has two pieces 1 extending from the front of the head through the temporal region to the back of the head.
a and 1a are connected by sewing the front ends and interposing a rubber band 6 between the rear ends. As shown in FIG. 3, a cushioning material 7 is attached to the entire inner surface of the pieces 1a by applying a cushioning material 7a or the like and covering it with a cloth 7b. An earmuff piece 4 is continuously and integrally formed on the lower edge of the pieces 1a and 1a side,
A removable chin strap 5 is attached to this ear flap piece 4 using a hook-and-loop fastener 10.

The front and rear band parts 2 are made by sewing the front end of the band piece 2a to the front upper edge of the annular band part 1 and applying the rear end to the surface of the rubber band 6. A cushioning material 7 is attached. The cushioning material 7 of the rubber band 6 portion is sewn to the band piece 2a between the upper and lower edges and the rubber band 6. As a result, a guide portion for each rubber band 6 is formed between the band piece 2a and the cushioning material 7. The rubber band portion of the band piece 2a is divided into two along the cutting line 8 in the band direction,
By sewing the width gradually wider toward the center, the center portion a gradually bulges out. In this way, the protruding part at the back of the head fits along this central part a, giving a sense of fit.

The left and right band parts 3 are two pieces 3 extending from the temporal region to the parietal region.
a, 3a, the lower ends of which are sewn to the upper edge of the temporal region of the annular band part 1, and three rubber bands 9 are interposed between the upper ends to connect them, and the entire inner surface of the piece 3a is similar to that described above. A cushioning material 7 is attached to. The front and rear band parts 2 are passed through between the rubber bands 9 so that both the band parts 2 and 3 intersect at the top of the head and the intersecting part is not easily moved. In this way, the front and rear band parts 2 and the left and right band parts 3 are difficult to move while wearing, and the rubber band 9
Since the cushioning material 7 is also present in the head gear, there is no inferiority in terms of safety compared to the conventional head gear.

The embodiment is constructed as described above, and when it is used, it can be worn by putting it over the head and tightening the chin strap 5 in the same manner as in the conventional case.

At this time, most of the differences in the shape and size of the head are caused by the expansion and contraction of the rubber bands 6 and 9, and the difference in the band direction of the front and rear bands 2 is caused by the deformation of the rubber band 6 in that direction. handle. For this reason, this gear can be said to be extremely comfortable to wear as it fits on the head.

Although the left and right straps 3 are made expandable by cutting them, the front and rear straps 2 may be similarly made to be expandable, and the locking means for both straps 2 and 3 are not limited to those in the embodiment. For example, the annular band portion 1 and the front and rear band portions 2
It may be made to penetrate through the rubber band 9 like the structure of the rear locking part (rubber band 6 etc.).

[Effect of idea]

This idea is constructed as described above and accommodates differences in the shape and size of the head by expanding and contracting the rubber, so it can be worn by any person and provides a comfortable fit. Since the part is largely covered by a band with other cushioning material, it is not inferior in stability compared to the conventional one.

Therefore, this invention can be said to have great practicality as it can be used as a headgear that fits many people.
