Abstract: A headgear or headgear segments are manufactured to shape thereby producing little or no waste material. Techniques such as knitting, braiding, crocheting, and 3D printing can be used produce the headgear.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a stitched garment comprising a stitched background, a stitched pattern sewn into the background, and an opening through which an article can be inserted. Theopening is integrated into the stitched pattern such that the opening is hidden from view by the stitched pattern.

Abstract: A cap according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a head receiving portion stretchable along at least one direction and worn on the head, a sweat absorbing member disposed along a lower edge of the head receiving portion, absorbing sweat from the forehead, and is partly stretchable along the head circumferential direction of the head receiving portion, The sweat absorbing member comprises a non-stretchability added portion at a location that corresponds to the forehead of a wearer and a material for adding non-stretchability to the non-stretchability added portion does not directly contact the forehead.

Abstract: A head scarf with a crown portion and a tail portion is made by stitching together overlying front margin areas of body and lining pieces. This stitching is done along oppositely convex lines on both pieces, and these lines are brought into registry for sewing. One of the pieces is then folded to provide a convex edge of the stitched-together assembly, to place the pieces in face-to-face relation, and to give the assembly a three dimensional forehead-receiving shape in the vicinity of the front margin areas. A semicircular drawstring channel is formed, and the upper regions of the tail portion are drawn together while drawing the crown portion into a shape conforming to a wearer's head.

Abstract: A cap includes a bill portion, a body formed by a plurality of gores, and a sweatband sewn on a lower edge of the body. The sweatband is substantially sewing-free among different sections and includes a third section connected to the bill portion, a second section connected to the first section which is made of uniaxial elastic fabric, and a first section connected to a portion of the body other than the bill portion. The second section is connected between the first section and the third section without a sewing portion.

Abstract: An ear muff is disclosed having an inner layer having a first elongated oval opening to insert the ear therethrough; an outer layer coupled to the inner layer; a flexible core to support the inner layer disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer and having a second elongated oval opening consistent with the first elongated oval opening of the inner layer to insert the ear therethrough; a pocket defined by an area between the inner layer and the outer layer in which the flexible core is disposed and in which the ear is inserted; and a plurality of hair layers disposed upon the outer layer; wherein the ear muff is self supported on the ear.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing headgear of a peeling off effect adopts papers in the headgear manufacture, i.e. pluralities of laminated papers are combined with a fabric, and then integrally colored, cut and sewn to form a headgear. After a wash treatment, the paper material of the headgear will gradually peel off to engender a cracked effect of different degrees on the appearance depending the length of the use time, thereby obtaining an ancient, pioneering and special style.

Abstract: Embroidery machines have previously not been well adapted to embroider billed caps such as baseball caps. A bill hook is secured or hooked on the distal end of the bill. The hook is supported by a base support, which is mounted to the hat hoop base frame. The bill is flexed away from the head portion of the cap, thereby providing room for the embroidery machine to access the area immediate adjacent to the bill that is embroidered. By flexing the bill away from the head portion of the cap and attaching it to the hat hoop base frame, which moves with the cap as it is moved in the embroidery machine, the bill is much less likely to become jarred lose from the hat hoop base frame during the embroidery process. This reduces registration errors and with it the scrap rate of caps.

Abstract: A headgear frame comprises: a cylindrical receiving frame adapted to be fitted in a headgear; and a holding band adapted to be wound on the outer side of the headgear for clamping the headgear between itself and the receiving frame. At least one of one end and the other end of the holding band is hinged or hooked at a position apart from the receiving frame to the outer circumference. Push members projected toward the receiving frame are provided in at least one of the vicinities of the one end and the other end, as apart from the receiving frame, of the band edge of the holding band. Corresponding portions of the headgear when clamped are pushed and tensed by the push members so that they may not float from the receiving frame.

Abstract: A correction apparatus is designed to correct sewing data used on a sewing machine that forms an embroidery pattern on a cap by moving a needle bar upward and downward and a frame holding the cap in the X- and Y-axis directions. In the correction apparatus for correcting sewing data, the correction apparatus first reads sewing data as an original data, then finds the coordinates of a stitch point for each stitch from the read original data. The correction apparatus corrects the X coordinate of the stitch point based on a correction value that varies according to the Y coordinate, to create an execution data different from that in the original data. The correction value is calculated using the coordinate data of the Y-axis direction as a variable and a correction parameter that can be changed as a constant.
