Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (Field of application for industrial letters) This invention is a hat that can be easily formed from a flat sheet of paper or cloth when in use, and is convenient to carry when not in use. It's about hats.

(Summary of the idea) Paper hats used for advertising etc. are assembled into a fixed shape, so their dimensions are constant, they cannot be folded, and it is inconvenient to carry them when not wearing them. .

In this case, a thin plastic metal plate such as aluminum foil is pasted in a ring shape on a hat material such as soft paper or cloth, and the plastic metal plate is rolled and bent in the circumferential direction to form a bundle, which is then placed over the head. The device expands the convergence part, and uses the plasticity and elasticity of the plastic metal plate to shape and hold the device to a size that fits each person's head.It has the advantage of being foldable and portable, as well as being able to be shaped freely by each person.

(Prior art) Simple paper hats used for watching sports and promoting sports are made by cutting somewhat thick paper into a pre-designed shape, then folding it or cutting it with cuts. They are assembled and molded into a cap-like or eaves-like shape, and are delivered to users in a completed or unfinished state.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-327, both sides of the material constituting the hat are cut symmetrically with respect to the bending line, leaving both ends of the folded part intact to form a hole-shaped split part and a cut line in the edge frame part. When in use, the split part is opened, both sides of which are folded back to form an arc-shaped edge frame, and this edge frame is placed in contact with the head to be worn.

(Problems to be solved by the present invention) For this reason, production is troublesome and time-consuming due to the need for complicated punching dies, resulting in high costs, and the size and shape of the hat formed in use are constant; Some people may not be able to use it because the dimensions do not match, and since it has a specific shape after being assembled, it may break or tear if you bend it arbitrarily, making it inconvenient to carry and use. The shape did not suit the person's taste and the appearance was not good.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention consists of a flexible flat hat material such as paper or cloth, such as non-woven fabric, and a thin film that can be bent and focused in the circumferential direction by pasting it in an annular shape when the hat material is flat. The hat material is provided with a plastic metal plate, and the plastic metal plate is attached at a position that becomes the side surface of the head when the hat material is put on the head.

(Function) Therefore, when in use, the plastic metal plate is squeezed in the circumferential direction (longitudinal direction) by hand to bend it finely, and by spreading it out to fit the head, the size can be adjusted to fit the head. A cap body can be formed, and the shape is held by the plasticity of the plastic metal plate, and the cap body is fit and held around the head by the elasticity due to bending.

(Example) This will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

1 is the hat material, which is made of flexible material such as Japanese paper or nonwoven fabric, and is cut into a roughly circular shape with a diameter of, for example, about 50 cm. 2 is a thin plastic metal plate, such as aluminum foil with a thickness of 0.2 to 0.4 mm and a width of about 15 mm.
The cap material 1 is stuck in a ring shape with an inner diameter of about 30 mm using an adhesive or double-sided tape, while keeping the cap material in a flat plate shape, to the part that comes into contact with the side surface of the head when the hat material 1 is put on the head.

As shown in Fig. 2, the hat material 1 constructed in this way is gathered together at its periphery into a cap shape so that the center is medium and high, and the plastic metal plate 2 is rolled up by hand to create countless wrinkles in the circumferential direction. When the plastic metal plates 2 are bent into a bundle and tightly squeezed, the plastic metal plates 2 are bent and contracted with small wrinkles to form a small-diameter ring 2a. In this state, by pinching and kneading the ring 2a with both hands, even smaller wrinkles can be created. When this ring 2a is spread out and put on each person's head, the ring 2a spreads out to fit the side of the head as shown in Figure 3, and is held on the head by the elasticity of the bent wrinkles, allowing the user to wear a hat that fits their head. The plasticity of the metal plate allows it to retain its shape even when removed.

The portion of the cap material 1 on the outer peripheral side of the plastic metal plate 2 may be extended outward as a visor, or the unnecessary portion of the visor, such as the rear side, may be folded inward.

The width of the plastic metal plate 2 may be about 15 mm to maintain the shape of the hat, but it can also be made wider to make it decorative. Alternatively, the plastic metal plate may be embedded between the cap materials so that it is not visible from the outside.

Note that the shape of the cap material is not limited to the circular shape shown in the embodiment, but may have a wavy edge or a non-circular shape, for example.

(Effects of the invention) As mentioned above, in this invention, a flexible material such as paper or cloth is used as a hat material, and a thin plastic metal plate is pasted in a ring shape when it is in a flat state. The plastic metal plate is hand-rolled in the circumferential direction and bent to form a large number of wrinkles, which are then expanded to fit the head to form a hat, making it easy to manufacture, inexpensive, and shaped like a flat plate before use. This makes it easy to store and transport, and when in use, it can be formed into a cap shape of any size with a simple operation.After molding, the shape is held by the plastic metal plate, and the flexibility allows the cap body to be easily shaped. And the shape of the eaves can be changed according to your preference.

In addition, since the plastic metal plate can be repeatedly bent and used, it can be unfolded or folded after use without being damaged and can be reused, making it extremely portable and durable.

In addition, by selecting a breathable material such as non-woven fabric as the material for the hat, you can eliminate stuffiness inside the hat, and the shape of the molding can be changed as appropriate, so choose the material and color accordingly. This gives it an aesthetic appearance and can be used for a wide range of purposes.If characters or pictures are written or drawn by hand or printed in advance, it can be effectively used for decoration or advertising purposes.
