Publication number: 20080256683Abstract: A headwear includes an outer panel including at least two fabric sheets connected at each opposite end portion; an inner panel including at least two fabric sheets connected at each opposite end portion; a shape forming panel being between the outer and inner panels, downwardly offset from a center axis of the outer and inner panels, and sewed on the inner panel. With such a structure, since the margins between the outer and inner panels are far from the forehead and are separately disposed, the headwear may not compress a forehead. In addition, since the shape-forming panel may provide a variable cavity portion between the outer and inner panel, a headwear may have an excellent wearing comfort and a good design when it may come in close contact with the head.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2007Publication date: October 23, 2008Inventor: Byoung-Woo Cho

Patent number: 7308861Abstract: A manufacturing method of embroidery having a pile structure which may be performed by a general embroidering machine is disclosed. The method is accomplished by providing a base fabric, a first sheet having a predetermined thickness, and a second sheet in order, and embroidering a predetermined pattern on the base fabric together with the first and second sheet. An adhesive is applied over the back surface of the base fabric to fix the threads, and then the threads are cut over the first sheet. Finally, the first sheet and the second sheet are removed from the base fabric to form the resultant embroidery having a pile structure.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2004Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Yupoong, Inc.Inventor: Byoung-Woo Cho
