This invention relates to a wig which is utilizing wearer's own hair, pulling out wearer's own hair below the wig worn on the scalp from the clearances of the wig and mixing it with false hair attached to the wig, and especially relates to the wig of utilizing wearer's own hair which can be worn stably on the wearer's head and can reduce the exposure to the outside by providing an annular member.
A wearer's own hair utilizing type wig is a kind of wig having a wig base formed with a net, which has a plurality of holes or meshes, whereby the wearer's own hairs are pulled out from the holes or meshes of a net, and mixed with false hair which was attached to the wig base. As this kind of the wig of utilizing wearer's own hair, as shown in
The known wig 200 shown in
The rib 211 and the rib for connection 212 are connected by adhesion, binding, attaching by sewing, welding, etc. on those intersections. Each rib 211 and the rib for connection 212 were formed in a straight line of the material which cannot be easily influenced by heat of a dryer, for example, a polyamide synthetic fiber and synthetic resin material such as polyester, and are provided with rigidity and elasticity. False hair 220 attached to the rib 211 and the rib for connection 212 is preferably, for example, artificial hair of diameter about 0.05 to 0.2 mm made of nylon (registered trademark), polyester, etc. besides human hair. It is bound, sewn on or twisted to the rib 211 and the rib for connection 212 and pasted, and many of them are attached protruding in the predetermined direction.
When said wig 200 is worn, first, the wig 200 is put on the wearer's head, and its position is adjusted. As the position where to set on the wearer's head, the position in which the tip part of each rib 211 is entered several centimeters towards the top part side from a hair line is selected, and set at the selected position. Then, a pulling out work of the wearer's own hair follows. During this work, it is preferable to brush along with the rib 211 using a brush or a comb, pressing down the wig 200 by one hand on the head.
By brushing, for example, the front side towards the front and the backside towards back bordering on the rib for connection 212, the wearer can pull out the wearer's own hair held down by the wig 200 through ribs 211 upward. In that case, almost 100% of wearer's own hair can be easily pulled out through the ribs 211, without catching neither a brush nor a comb in the ribs 211 during brushing, and without entanglement of wearer's own hair around the rib 211, since each rib 211 extends mutually in parallel along the brushing direction.
As mentioned above, pulling out wearer's own hair on to the outside of the frame 210, mixing wearer's own hair and false hair 220, having the hair cut to a desired hairstyle, brushing lightly with the brush for hairdressing etc., wearing of the wig 200 is completed. It is convenient as fixation of the wig 200 on the scalp, fixing well-known stopper for wigs to the back side of a wig, to fasten and to fix the wearer's own hair by this stopper.
Since the periphery frame member which forms the outline of the wig base 210 does not exist and the rib 211 is embedded and provided into wearer's own hair, the wig 200 thus constituted as above is capable to pull out the wearer's own hair fully from the clearance on the wig, wearer's own hair and false hair 220 are mixed mutually well.
Patent Document 1 discloses the thus constituted wig.
By the way, when the wig 200 shown in
In said well-known wig 200, since the frame 210 itself comprises only linear ribs 211 and ribs for connection 212, it is difficult to stabilize and fix the stopper for fixing the wig 200 to the wearer's scalp on the frame 210. Also, the rib 211 is arranged in the cross direction of the wearer's scalp, and since the parting line may be generated along the rib 211 in false hair 220 attached to the rib 211, a rib 211 becomes easily visible from the outside, and there is a possibility of leading to exposure of wig 200.
In view of the above-mentioned points, the object of the present invention is to offer the wig of utilizing wearer's own hair which is worn stably on the wearer's head by preparing an annular member and setting a rib to said annular member, capable to reduce the exposure to the outside, mixing the wearer's own hair with the false hair of a wig, and making hair rich in quantity as a whole.
In order to attain the above-mentioned object, the present invention is characterized in that it is the wig of utilizing wearer's own hair in which the wearer's own hair is pulled out from the opening of a wig base on which false hair is attached, and mixed with false hair, and the wig base is constituted of an annular member which has an opening inside, and a plurality of linear member which extended so that it might cross through said opening, are isolated from each other, and are provided in the annular member side by side, each linear member being formed in the shape of zigzag.
Said annular member comprises artificial skin, a lower net laminated on said artificial skin, and an upper net laminated on said lower net, and a lace tape and/or a satin tape are preferably attached to the bottom of artificial skin. It is further desirable if the net for preventing the exposure of the wig is arranged, protruding outward from the peripheral edge of an annular member.
Each of said linear members is preferred if both ends of it are formed in a flat plane part, said plane part is pinched by the annular member, and it is sewn on and fixed with thread material. Each linear member may be provided with the bending part which surges in the transverse direction, the bending parts of adjoining linear members are arranged in parallel with the annular member as they approach and depart mutually in the shape of zigzag, and the void which opens to pull out the wearer's own hair may be formed among each linear member.
The lower net which constitutes said annular member can adhere via a urethane coat to artificial skin. An annular member and each linear member are preferably formed curve-shaped along the form of the wearer's scalp.
According to the present invention, even if the linear member 12 is pulled by brushing etc. for example, the end of the linear member does not rise or the direction of a linear member does not change since both ends of each linear member are fixed to the annular member by comparatively simple composition. Therefore, such possibility is reduced that the tip side of the rib 211 used as a free end may move like the well-known wig 200 shown in
Moreover, according to the present invention, since the linear member is bent in the shape of zigzag, hair separation is hard to occur, though there was a possibility that the wig 200 might be exposed in said well-known wig 200 because the rib 211 is lead in a straight line in the cross direction, hair separation of a straight line arises to hair. Also by above mentioned reason, exposure of a wig can be reduced by the present invention compared with the conventional wig 200. If the linear member is arranged in the shape of zigzag within the wearer's own hair, since it is covered in whole by the wearer's own hair and false hair of a wig base, these linear members will not be easily visible from the outside. If the linear member is made to bend in the shape of zigzag, quantity of false hair to attach can be increased since the length becomes long compared with a straight line-like linear member. Therefore, quantity of hair of a wig can be increased, and flexibility of hairstyle can be improved.
Hereafter, with reference to
Wig base 10 comprises an annular member 11 which forms the circumference portion of the wig 1, an opening 11A formed in the inside of said annular member 11, and a plurality of linear member 12 which are formed as they traverse through the opening 11A along the longitudinal direction of the wearer's scalp, separated from each other, and are provided in parallel to the annular member 11.
Preferably, the annular member 11 is formed curve-shaped along the shape of the wearer's scalp. In order to make better reinforcement and feeling of the annular member 11, a lace tape 16 is provided at the bottom of the artificial skin 13 along a peripheral edge, and a satin tape 17 is formed in it along the inner peripheral edge. Furthermore, the net for preventing exposure of a wig, i.e., a net for wig exposure prevention 18 is arranged on the wig base 10 as it protrudes outward from the peripheral edge of the annular member 11.
Both the lower net 14 and the upper net 15 are made of synthetic resin, and for example, the polyester of 25 mesh and thickness of 0.3 mm. The lace tape 16 of, for example, polyester with width of 8 mm, and thickness of 0.45 mm, and the satin tape 17 of, for example, polyester with width of 3 mm, and thickness of 0.30 mm, are applicable.
A plurality of bending parts 12A are formed on said linear member 12, and the extension direction of the parts which connect the bending parts 12A mutually change alternately to the forward left, or the forward right by turns at every crooked point, surge in the shape of zigzag in a transverse direction along the scalp surface as a whole, and are constructed over the annular member 11. In an example of illustration, inside opening 11A of the annular member 11, the adjoining linear members 12 are mutually set from the frontal region to the back of the scalp with the intervals of the mutual bending parts 12A and 12A, as they approach and separate alternately. Thereby, between each of adjoining linear members 12, for example, a rhombic or diamond-shaped big space 11B useful to pull out the wearer's own hair is formed. As shown in
The linear member 12 is preferably made of a material which is not easily influenced by heat of a drier or others, for example, synthetic resin materials, such as a polyamide synthetic fiber and polyester, or in addition, a material provided with elasticity and stiffness, such as metal, hard paper, hard rubber, wood, bamboo, glass fiber, and carbon fiber, can be used for it, and, for example, the linear member of desirable rigidity and elasticity will be obtained if it is formed with the core/sheath structure which is made of polyester and nylon (registered trademark) with a diameter of about 0.1 to 3.0 mm. Core/sheath structure means the structure which comprises a core part and a sheath part which covers said core part, for example, a core part is made of polyester, and a sheath part is made of nylon (registered trademark).
The linear member 12 is, as shown in
False hair 20 is attached to the annular member 11 and the linear member 12 which constitute the wig base 10. False hair 20 may be, for example, artificial hair of a diameter about 0.05 to 0.2 mm which is made of nylon (registered trademark), polyester, etc. besides human hair, is bonded, sewn, or twisted to the wig base 10, and many strands are attached protruding upward.
In order to fix a wig 1 to the wearer's scalp, the known stopper for wigs is provided in the desired part of the bottom of the annular member 11 which constitutes the wig base 10.
The wig 1 of the present invention is constituted as mentioned above, and the explanation of manufacturing method is made next. Especially, the wig base 10 of the wig 1 in accordance with the present invention is manufactured according to the manufacturing process shown in
According to the manufacturing process shown in
As Step S5, the unification of the artificial skin produced at Step S4 and one of the nets produced at Step S2 is performed to produce the first intermediate. Next, as Step S6, the net for wig exposure prevention 18 is attached to the first intermediate produced at Step S5 to produce the second intermediate. As Step S7, excision of unnecessary artificial skin, and the attachment position of a wire rod is marked in, to produce the third intermediate. Here, as Step S8, processing of the tip part of the wire rod with wavy shape or others formed at Step S3 is carried out. That is, both ends of a circular cross-sectioned wire rod is crushed and processed into a planar shape. This process may be conducted at the above-mentioned Step 3. As Step S9, the wire rod is tentatively attached to the third intermediate to produce the fourth intermediate.
Next, as Step S10, the other net produced at Step S2 is unified with the fourth intermediate to produce the fifth intermediate. As Step S11, the lace tape 16 and the satin tape 17 are attached to the fifth intermediate to produce the sixth intermediate. Finally, as Step S12, the wig base 10 is completed by excising unnecessary portions from the sixth intermediate.
Each of the above-mentioned steps S1 to S12 is explained below in full detail.
Step S1: Preparation of Gypsum
The gypsum mold formed to a scalp shape is prepared. And a line required to produce the wig base 10 is marked on the gypsum surface.
Step S2: Fabrication of a Scalp Shape from a Net
First, after covering a polypropylene sheet on the gypsum mold 50 prepared at Step S1, a stocking made of nylon (registered trademark) is covered and fixed on said polypropylene sheet. And on the polypropylene sheet, two nets made of a synthetic resin are covered doubly, and fixed to the gypsum mold 50 with a needle for fixation. Between the two nets, the net which exists downward is formed as the lower net 14 by the below-mentioned process and the net which exists upward is formed as the upper net 15. Here, as each net made of synthetic resin, that of polyester of 25 mesh and thickness of 0.3 mm is preferably used.
Then, after coating the mixture of thermosetting polyurethane resin solution and an organic solvent, methylethylketone, to the gypsum mold 50 covered with the two nets, the scalp shape is formed to each net by drying at the temperature of 100 degrees C. for 8 hours. As thermosetting polyurethane resin solution, for example, a main agent which uses modified polyisocyanate solution as a base resin, and hardener which uses a polyetherpolyol mixture as a main ingredient are used, and the formulation ratio may be 6.5 g main agent, 3.5 g hardening agent and 80.0 g methylethylketone. And after the gypsum mold 50 is cooled, a net is removed from the gypsum mold 50. Between the two nets on which the model of scalp shape is formed by this process, one is called the first net 140, and the other is called the second net 150.
Step S3 Production of a Linear Member: Fabrication of Waveform
First, the first linear wire rod with a diameter of about 0.1 to 3.0 mm, made of polyamide synthetic fibers such as nylon (registered trademark) and a synthetic resin material such as polyester, is thermally fabricated to the shape of zigzag. For convenience, a forming board as shown in
The first wire rod is arranged to the thus constituted forming board 60. Concretely, as shown in
The process of the above step S2 is repeated to produce a plurality of second wire rods 122.
Next, each second wire rod 122 fabricated wave-shaped is placed on an arrangement line 53 drawn on the surface of the gypsum mold 50 shown in
By this process, the third wire rod 123 which is formed curving along the shape of zigzag and the wearer's scalp shape can be produced.
Step S4 (Production of an Artificial Skin):
First, a polypropylene sheet is put on the gypsum mold 50 and fixed to it, and a coated film is formed by applying the thermoplastic elastomer solution in which a deglossing agent is added on the gypsum mold 50, and as shown in
Step S5: Unification of Artificial Skin and a Net
As shown in
After applying thermoplastic elastomer solution in a shape of a circle to the portion of the first net 140 of the domain between the peripheral line 51 and the inner perimeter line 52, it is dried for 30 minutes at the temperature of 60 degrees C. Then, the thermoplastic elastomer solution in which a deglossing agent is added is further applied to the portion of the first net 140 of the domain between the peripheral line 51 and the inner perimeter line 52. The thermoplastic elastomer solution in which said deglossing agent is added is the same as the solution at Step S4. Then, the first artificial skin 131 and the first net 140 unified in the domain between the peripheral line 51 and the inner perimeter line 52 by drying at the temperature of 60 degrees C. for 2 hours. Here, what was unified and produced is called the first intermediate.
Step S6: Attaching a Net for Wig Exposure Prevention
As shown in
Step S7: Excision of Artificial Skin, and Marking of the Attachment Position of a Linear Member
After attachment of the net for wig exposure prevention 18 at Step S6 is completed, the gypsum mold 50 is cooled to room temperature, and as shown in
Next, what integrated the first artificial skin 131, the first net 140, and a net for wig exposure prevention 18 is returned to the front and set up on the gypsum mold 50, and fixed to the gypsum mold with a needle for fixation. Then, as shown in
Step S8: Processing of the Tip Part of a Linear Member
First, as shown in
Step S9: Temporary Setting of a Linear Member and a Net
The linear member 12 the processing of which ended in Step S8 is arranged on the first net 140 adopted to the marks 71A and 72A which were drawn on the masking tapes 71 and 72 in Step S7 and the arrangement line 53 of the linear member 12 which was drawn on the surface of the gypsum mold 50, and then the linear member 12 is attached to the first net 140 with a masking tape 75 so that the position of the linear member 12 may not shift, as shown in
Step S10: Unification with a Linear Member and an Annular Member
The fourth intermediate produced at Step S9 is set up to the gypsum mold 50, and fixed with the needle implement for fixation. Further, other second net 150 formed at Step S2 is put on the first net 140, and fixed to the gypsum mold 50 with the needle implement for fixation. The second net 150 is temporarily attached to the first net 140 that integrated with the first artificial skin 131, wherein the two nets were partially integrated using an ultrasonic device, at outside of peripheral line 51, which was drawn on the surface of the gypsum mold 50 so that the first and the second nets 140, 150 are piled up each other. Next, as shown in
By such machine sewing, the second net 150, the linear member 12, and the first net 140, which were integrated with the first artificial skin 131 are integrated. Thus, the integrated lamination product is turned over as shown in
Step S11: Cling a Lace Tape and a Satin Tape
The fifth intermediate produced at Step S10 is turned over and, in order to make the contact feeling good, and as a member for reinforcing a lamination object, the lace tape 16 and the satin tape 17 are attached to the back of an artificial skin 13. Concretely, as shown in
The satin tape 17 is arranged on an artificial skin 13 along the inner perimeter edge of an artificial skin 13, sewed the both sides by a sewing machine, and attached to the fifth intermediate. As to the satin tape 17, a product made of polyester with a width of 3 mm and a thickness of 0.30 mm is used, for example. As to sewing thread, it is preferable to use the thread made of a synthetic resin, for example. Since a fray tends to occur to ends of said lace tapes 16 and the satin tape 17, it is desirable that an end is beforehand burned with a soldering iron as anti-fraying process before attachment, for example. At this process, what attached the lace tape 16 and the satin tape 17 in the fifth intermediate is called the sixth intermediate.
Step S12: Excision of an Unnecessary Portion
Next, the surplus portion of the sixth intermediate produced in above steps, until Step S11, is excised. Concretely, as shown in
False hair 20 is tied to the wig base 10 constituted as mentioned above. The wig 1 by present invention is completed by attaching the well-known stopper for wigs in the position of a request of the bottom of the annular member 11 of the wig base 10.
Next, usage of the thus manufactured wig 1 of the present invention is explained.
When wearing the wig 1, the wearer's own hair is pinched by the stoppers, which are provided in the back of the wig base 10, and wig 1 is set to the desired position on the wearer's scalp. Then, pulling out work of wearer's own hair follows. In this case, it is preferable to brush towards the length direction of the linear member 12 using a brush or a comb, pressing down a wig 1 on the scalp by one hand. Thereby, the wearer's own hair held down by the linear member 12 can be pulled out upwards through the linear member 12 of opening 11A of the annular member 11. In that case, about almost 100% of wearer's own hair can be easily pulled out through the linear member 12 and 12, without catching neither a brush nor a comb in the linear member 12 during brushing, and without entanglement of the wearer's own hair around the linear member 12, since each linear member 12 and 12 are extended mutually almost in parallel along the brushing direction.
Wearing of the wig 1 is completed, by brushing lightly with the hairdressing brush etc. and mixing the wearer's own hair and false hair 20, after pulling out the wearer's own hair toward the external surface of the wig 1, and by having one's hair and false hair cut to a desired hairstyle.
Thus, by the wig 1 of present invention, since the ends of each linear member 12 and 12 are fixed to the annular member 11, the linear member 12 does not rise or the direction of the linear member 12 does not change or shift, even if the linear member 12 is pulled by brushing etc. On the other hand, by the conventional wig 200 shown in
Although using the conventional wig 200 shown in
With the wig 1 by present invention, since the linear member 12 is bending in the shape of zigzag, much false hair 20 can be attached compared with the rib 211 of the conventional wig 200 extended in the shape of a straight line. Therefore, the quantity of the hair of a wig 1 can be increased. Since uneven and big space 11B is formed between the adjoining linear members 12 and 12, set on the annular member 11, wearer's own hair can be pulled out easily, and handling is also easy.
As the lace tape 16 and the satin tape 17 are attached to wig 1 of the present invention, reinforcement for preventing the fray of sewing thread and damage, which were used on the occasion of the unification by machine sewing, can be realized. With sewing thread, the portion where the fine sight was spoiled can be hidden and the contact feeling can be improved.
As explained above, the present invention can be implemented with various styles in the range that does not deviate from the meaning. For example, although four linear members 12 are provided in the wig 1 shown in
