Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a wig.

The manufacture of wigs and their mass production is currently based on two main components.

namely, a hair or fiber-only bristles, and a camp or base made of cloth or netting.

In traditional manufacturing methods, the base of the hair is sewn onto the cap along its entire length so that the hair lies in a fixed direction to match the desired style. Ta.

The disadvantage of such a structure is that the weight of the wig is increased by the weight of the camp, and the hair on the wig is held fixedly against the camp, which prevents natural movement and elasticity of the hair. They do not have a natural shape, lie only in one direction determined by the direction of the hair, generally lack flexibility in style and wearability, and are expensive to manufacture due to high quality cap materials and have poor breathability. It means being able to hang out for the sake of others.

We have found that camping is not necessary and is rather undesirable.3 According to this invention, depending on the edge band and the hairstyle or the material of the framework material, a unique A cap-shaped frame formed by fixing support ribs arranged in arbitrary directions without a radial center at their respective intersection points, and a cap-shaped frame formed between the support ribs to cover the outer surface of the cap-shaped frame, and/or Alternatively, it was possible to obtain an improved capless wig having hairs sewn in an arbitrary direction corresponding to the hair style as a bridge between the edge band and the supporting ribs.

The advantages of such a configuration will become clear from the description that follows.

The accompanying drawings show an example of manufacturing a wig according to the present invention.

The camp shown in Figure 1 is suitably sized to cover the wearer's head and any hair.

These caps are preferably made of a suitable disposable material so that they can be conveniently removed or dissolved (particularly water-soluble plastic sheets) after the wig has been manufactured.

For example, a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol film or an ultra-thin polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride film that can be easily peeled off later by hand is used.

As seen in FIG. 2, in the first step of manufacture, the edge band is sewn or glued to the cap.

The edge band may be of a resilient material, a non-resilient material, or a combination of resilient and non-resilient materials, and may be a flexible or non-resilient material.

The strips forming the edge bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are arranged to match the wearer's natural area, usually the outer contour of the ear, and form the edge line of the camp. .

Reinforcement can be achieved by thin cores arranged longitudinally or transversely, especially in the edge bands 2, 5 and 6, which are subject to stress or stretch.

At the proximal end of the hair or where supporting ribs are added along the same line as the edge band strips,
These strips 7 may be omitted.

In FIG. 3, support ribs 8 have been added.

This support rib can be made of flexible or non-flexible material, or of elastic or non-resilient material, depending on the hairstyle, as can any special wig. can.

These support ribs are preferably spaced far apart enough to allow the proximal ends of the bristles as much movement as possible within the range that provides support and direction to the bristles.

By doing this, the weight of the wig can be reduced, breathability is improved, and furthermore, the proximal end of the hair is given a degree of freedom, so it can move accordingly when brushing or combing. A very unique effect can be obtained.

The support ribs extend from the edge band or other support ribs, or both, and may or may not be attached to the intermediate ribs depending on the hairstyle.

The supporting ribs are placed on the camp in any direction that does not have a single radial center at the top of the head, in the transverse, longitudinal or oblique direction, according to the hair support needs corresponding to each style. These supporting ribs and the supporting ribs and the edge band are secured to each other by sewing or the like at their respective intersection points.

In this way, the supporting ribs themselves are arranged and made of stretchable or non-stretchable materials, depending on the hair style and comfort so that the completed wig fits the wearer's head.

The hair is cleaned in a certain line for one style, and the proximal ends of the hair are attached to the cap at approximately equal intervals, usually 0.5 to 2Cr/'L apart, in any direction that corresponds to the hair style. The dotted line 9 in FIG. 3 indicates this line.

It is best to make the hair from hair or synthetic fibers.

The hair or fibers may be prepared in a conventional manner and optionally curled.

The length of the hair changes depending on the desired hairstyle, and the length of the hair changes as necessary when attaching it to the cap.

For example, Figure 4 shows the structure of hair in the hair. After cutting the tow of hair or synthetic fibers to the length required for the style and arranging them in a flat shape, The middle part is crossed with the hair-like material and sewn and fixed using a two-needle sewing machine, then the middle part of the two threads of the two-needle sewing machine is folded in half, and the bent part is further sewn into a U shape of about 3 to 5 mm. Double rabbets are machine sewn into the letter shape, and if necessary, the base end of the double rabbet is sewn or an adhesive is applied to prevent the hair from falling out. Depending on the intended style, the hair portion may be curled in advance.

The hairs are attached to them at their respective intersections with the supporting ribs or edge bands in any direction corresponding to the hairstyle.

That is, in the present invention, the hairs are installed in a bridging manner between the supporting ribs and between the supporting ribs and the edge band.
The proximal end of the hair is free except for the intersection point where it is sewn and supported on the support rib or edge band.

This allows the hair to move freely and lie in any direction, thus giving freedom to brush and comb it as desired and adjust the hairstyle.

Also, depending on the desired hairstyle of the wig, the hair may be attached to the supporting ribs and partially attached to the supporting ribs or on the edge band.

Figure 5 shows the appearance of the supporting ribs and the base end of the hair when the completed wig is turned inside out.The shape and dimensions of the wig are determined by the combination of the edge band, the supporting ribs, and the hair. Since the material is limited and determined, the support ribs and edge bands are assembled on a disposable camp, and each intersection is secured by sewing or the like to form a cap-like bone, and the hair is removed. Once the cap is fixed, the camp is no longer needed and should be removed by tearing it off or, if a water-soluble film is used as the material for the cap, by soaking the completed wig in water and dissolving it. Can be done.

Figure 5 shows the cap already removed.

Because of the open nature of the finished wig's framework, the wearer's natural hair underneath the wig is often noticeable, especially when it differs from the wig color.

To prevent this, a piece of breathable lightweight fabric shaped to line the inside of the wig and having the same color as the wig may be attached to the inside of the wig, for example by snaps or hooks. .

Wigs constructed according to the above principles and in the manner described above can be styled in a greater variety of styles than wigs based on traditional cloth or net caps, and can also be brushed or brushed. [It will be clear that the device allows for style adjustment and that the wig can be formed in a more economical manner.

Furthermore, because of the lightness of the wig and the ease of movement afforded to the hair, such wigs conform to the wearer's head giving a natural and lifelike appearance.

Furthermore, ventilation in the wearer's head can be easily achieved.

Next, an example of manufacturing the wig of the present application will be shown in Examples.
The present invention is not limited to this.

Example 1 An ultra-thin film of water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol was developed and cut to fit the shape of the head, and sewn with a sewing machine to create a cap as shown in FIG.

Then, a seam line was drawn on the cap to match the desired style.

The edge band was then machine sewn onto the camp along its length, as shown in FIG.

At this time, for the edge band, a stretchable material was used for the side parts (4 in FIG. 2), and a non-stretchable material was used for the other parts.

A spandex knitted tape covered with nylon thread was then used as a support rib, and was laid along its length and machine sewn onto the cap to form a framework on the camp as shown in FIG.

At this time, the intersections between the supporting ribs and the intersections between the supporting ribs and the edge band, along with the camps, were respectively connected and fixed by sewing.

On the front side of the cap-shaped body completed in the above steps, the base end of the hair was sewn by machine using the hair sewing lines previously drawn on the cap.

Finally, this was immersed in hot water to dissolve and remove the camp, dehydrated, and dried at low temperature to obtain a wig.

The back of this wig has a shape as shown in Figure 5, and the hair is fixed in a bridge-like manner between the supporting ribs and between the supporting ribs and the edge band, providing good ventilation. A campless wig that is lightweight and whose style can be adjusted by combing or brushing was obtained.
