Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a tightening band for a hat.

BACKGROUND ART

In general, a hat is a collective term for protecting the head from the cold or heat, or wearing on the head as a symbol of decorative or social status.

These hats are made of plastic, felt, wool, straw, leather, etc., and are collectively referred to as a hat having a crown and a brim and a cap without the brim. However, the hat in English is a collective term for hats which sometimes cover the cap, but it is general that the cap is limitatively used without including the hat.

Furthermore, a size adjustment band is provided on the back of the hat. The size adjustment band adjusts the length so that both men and women having different head sizes may use the hats. On the other hand, the user frequently wears the hat backwards so that the tightening band for adjusting the size of the hat is positioned on the forehead portion.

However, there is a problem in that the appearance of the tightening band is simple so as not to reflect the taste of the consumer. Further, there is a problem that the forehead skin of the user is pressed by the tightening band, or sweat is generated at the pressed position, which is inconvenient to use.

Hereinafter, a tightening band cover 500 for a hat according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view schematically illustrating a tightening band cover for a hat according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a diagram of the tightening band cover for the hat of FIG. 9 taken along line X-X, FIG. 11 is a diagram of the tightening band cover for the hat of FIG. 9 taken along line XI-XI, and FIG. 12 is a diagram of the tightening band cover for the hat of FIG. 9 taken along line XII-XII.

As illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 12, a tightening band cover 500 for a hat according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention includes a cover portion 510, a length variable portion 520, and a fixing clip 530. Hereinafter, respective components will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12.

The cover portion 510 is a component that surrounds the tightening band 11, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 to 11. The cover portion 510 may include a first cover member 511, a second cover member 512, and a fastening portion 513, as illustrated in FIG. 11.

The first cover member 511 may cover one side of the tightening band 11 and one end of the second cover member 512 may be pivoted at one end of the first cover member 511 through a hinge shaft HS and may cover the other side of the tightening band 11. Particularly, when the first and second cover members 511 and 512 are made of a rigid material such as metal or plastic, the first and second cover members 511 and 512 may have a curved cross section corresponding to the forehead of the user as illustrated in FIG. 10. The fastening portion 513 may fasten the other end of the first cover member 511 and the other end of the second cover member 512.

For example, the fastening portion 513 may include a fastening groove 513a provided at the other end of the second cover member 512 and a fastening protrusion 513b provided at the other end of the first cover member 511 to be inserted and fastened to the fastening groove 513a. Of course, although not illustrated, the fastening protrusion may be provided at the other end of the second cover member when the fastening groove is provided at the other end of the first cover member.

The length variable portion 520 is a component that may vary the length of the tightening band 11 as needed based on the longitudinal direction of the tightening band 11. The length variable portions 520 may be provided at both ends of the cover portion 510, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, respectively.

For example, the length variable portion 520 may include a first length variable member 521 and a second length variable member 522, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10. One end of the first length variable member 521 may be detachably and rotatably connected to one end of the cover portion 510 by a first hinge pin H1, and one end of the second length variable member 522 may be detachably and rotatably connected to the other end of the first length variable member 521 by a second hinge pin H2. Accordingly, the user may remove the second length variable member 522 or the like by removing the second hinge pin H2 or the like as needed to reduce the length of the length variable portion 520, or conversely, the second length variable member 522 or the like may be mounted by inserting the second hinge pin H2 or the like to increase the length of the length variable portion 520. Ultimately, the length of cover portion 510 may be adjusted according to the length of the tightening band 11 for adjusting the size of the hat, and even though the length of the tightening band 11 is larger than the length of the cover portion 510, the tightening band 11 may be prevented from being exposed to the outside.

The fixing clip 530 is a component for preventing the length variable portion 520 from being separated from the tightening band 11. As illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, the fixing clip 530 may fix the other end (that is, an end portion) of the length variable portion 520 to the tightening band 11.

For example, the fixing clip 530 may include a first fixing member 531, a second fixing member 532, a third fixing member 533, and a locking portion 534, as shown in FIG. 12. The first fixing member 531 may cover a part of the tightening band 11 and one end of the second fixing member 532 may be rotatably provided at one end of the first fixing member 531 through a first rotational shaft R1 and connected to the other end of the length variable portion 520 to cover the tightening band 11. In particular, each of the first and second fixing members 531 and 532 has a 90° bent shape and may have a rectangular shape when the first and second fixing members are coupled to each other.

One end of the third fixing member 533 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first fixing member 531 through a second rotational shaft R2 so as to cover a part of the second fixing member 532, and the locking portion 534 may lock the other end of the third fixing member 533 and the second fixing member 532. Therefore, since the locking structure of the fixing clip 530 is doubly made by the third fixing member 533 and the locking portion 534, the length adjusting portion 520 may be firmly fixed to the tightening band 11 by the fixing clip 530.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the locking portion 534 includes a locking groove 534a provided in the second fixing member 532 and a locking protrusion 534b provided at the other end of the third fixing member 533 to be fitted and locked in the locking groove 534a. Of course, although not illustrated, the locking protrusion may be provided on the second fixing member when the locking groove is provided at the other end of the third fixing member.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the tightening band cover 500 for the hat according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention may further include a pad portion 540 which is detachably provided on one side of the cover portion 510 and comes in contact with the user's skin. Therefore, sweat or the like may be appropriately absorbed through the pad portion 540, thereby improving the wearing comfort. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, when a hooking protrusion P1 is formed outside the fixing clip 530, a hook (not illustrated) may be formed at both ends of the pad portion 540 so as to be caught by the hooking protrusion P1.

In addition, like the fourth embodiment described above, the tightening band cover 500 for the hat according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention may further include a display portion (see 330 of FIG. 8) which is detachably provided on the other end of the cover portion 510. Therefore, the personality of the user may be expressed through the display portion (see 300). For example, as described in the fourth embodiment, the display portion 330 may be detachably attached to the other surface of the cover portion 510 through a Velcro member (see 310 in FIG. 8) or a predetermined adhesive or the like.

Hereinafter, a tightening band cover 600 for a hat according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 13.

FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically illustrating a tightening band cover for a hat according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention.

A tightening band cover 600 for a hat according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the fifth embodiment of the present invention except for a friction member 610 as illustrated in FIG. 13, and thus hereinafter, the friction member 610 will be mainly described.

The friction member 610 may be provided on the inner surface of the cover portion 510. Therefore, when the cover portion 510 covers the tightening band 11, it is possible to prevent the cover portion 510 from moving along the tightening band 11.

Hereinafter, a tightening band cover 700 for a hat according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 14 to 15.

FIG. 14 is a diagram schematically illustrating a tightening band cover for a hat according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention and FIG. 15 is a view of a portion “A” in FIG. 14 taken in the same manner as FIG. 11.

As illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the tightening band cover 700 for the hat according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the fifth embodiment of the present invention described above except that the pad portion (see 540 in FIG. 10) is removed and a shape of a cover portion 710 is changed. Therefore, the cover portion 710 will be mainly described below.

As illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the cover portion 710 covers the tightening band 11 except for a surface of the tightening band 11 which faces the wearer's skin (for example, forehead) and may be fixed to the tightening band 11 through the length variable portion 520 and the fixing clip 530. Accordingly, when an opened portion of the C-shaped cover portion 710 is moved toward the tightening band 11, the tightening band 11 may be easily inserted into the cover portion 710 through the opened portion. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture the cover portion 710 with a simpler structure than the technique of the cover portion (see FIG. 11) covering the entire circumference of the tightening band 11 including the first and second cover members (511 and 512 of FIG. 11) and a fastening portion (513 of FIG. 11), thereby further lowering product costs of the tightening band cover 700 for the hat of the present invention.

While this invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical example embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
