TECHNICAL FIELDThis 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.
BACKGROUND ARTA 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 inFIG. 29, the type which is not provided with the outline in the wig base is known.
The knownwig200 shown inFIG. 29 comprises rib-like framework210 andfalse hair220 attached to theframe210. Theframe210 comprises a plurality ofribs211, which are arranged so that they may be formed in a straight line approximately in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the wearer's head, and aconnection rib212, which is arranged so that theseribs211 are not disintegrated in the transverse direction at the mid position of these plurality ofribs211 juxtaposed. InFIG. 29, although abbreviated to draw several offalse hair220 attached to theframe210 and most is carried out in order to make structure of aframe210 intelligible,false hair220 is densely attached over thewhole frame210 in fact.
Therib211 and the rib forconnection212 are connected by adhesion, binding, attaching by sewing, welding, etc. on those intersections. Eachrib211 and the rib forconnection212 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 hair220 attached to therib211 and the rib forconnection212 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 therib211 and the rib forconnection212 and pasted, and many of them are attached protruding in the predetermined direction.
When saidwig200 is worn, first, thewig200 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 eachrib211 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 therib211 using a brush or a comb, pressing down thewig200 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 forconnection212, the wearer can pull out the wearer's own hair held down by thewig200 throughribs211 upward. In that case, almost 100% of wearer's own hair can be easily pulled out through theribs211, without catching neither a brush nor a comb in theribs211 during brushing, and without entanglement of wearer's own hair around therib211, since eachrib211 extends mutually in parallel along the brushing direction.
As mentioned above, pulling out wearer's own hair on to the outside of theframe210, mixing wearer's own hair andfalse hair220, having the hair cut to a desired hairstyle, brushing lightly with the brush for hairdressing etc., wearing of thewig200 is completed. It is convenient as fixation of thewig200 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 thewig base210 does not exist and therib211 is embedded and provided into wearer's own hair, thewig200 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 andfalse hair220 are mixed mutually well.
Patent Document 1 discloses the thus constituted wig.
[Patent Document 1] JP, 2002-115115 ABy the way, when thewig200 shown inFIG. 29 is worn on the wearer's head, since the tip part of therib211 is not fixed, the tip part of therib211 tends to float. For example, when the wearer combs his hair or the wearer moves a head violently, the tip part of therib211 separates and loses touch from the scalp surface, someribs211 appear out of the wearer's hair, or the tip side of therib211 moves and shifts, and there is a possibility of leading to exposure ofwig200.
In said well-knownwig200, since theframe210 itself comprises onlylinear ribs211 and ribs forconnection212, it is difficult to stabilize and fix the stopper for fixing thewig200 to the wearer's scalp on theframe210. Also, therib211 is arranged in the cross direction of the wearer's scalp, and since the parting line may be generated along therib211 infalse hair220 attached to therib211, arib211 becomes easily visible from the outside, and there is a possibility of leading to exposure ofwig200.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTIONIn 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 thelinear member12 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 therib211 used as a free end may move like the well-knownwig200 shown inFIG. 29, or it may rise, may appear outside, and thewig200 may be exposed.
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 thewig200 might be exposed in said well-knownwig200 because therib211 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 theconventional wig200. 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.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTIONHereafter, with reference toFIG. 1-FIG.28, the embodiment of the present invention is explained in detail.FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate diagrammatically the wig of utilizing wearer's own hair (it is hereafter merely called a wig in abbreviation.)1 in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, whereinFIG. 1 shows the plan view of awig1, andFIG. 2 shows the bottom plan view of awig1.Wig1 comprises awig base10,false hair20 which is planted to the wig base and a stopper for a wig which is not illustrated. Although only several of thefalse hair20 attached to thewig base10 are drawn inFIGS. 1 and 2 and most are omitted in order to explain the structure of thewig base10 plainly, in fact, thefalse hair20 is made to protrude upwards over thewhole wig base10, and is attached densely.
Wig base10 comprises anannular member11 which forms the circumference portion of thewig1, an opening11A formed in the inside of saidannular member11, and a plurality oflinear member12 which are formed as they traverse through the opening11A along the longitudinal direction of the wearer's scalp, separated from each other, and are provided in parallel to theannular member11.FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view along A-A line ofFIG. 1, and as shown in said cross-sectional view, theannular member11 is formed belt-like so that between a peripheral edge and an inner peripheral edge may have predetermined width, and, in the illustrated example, is constituted as a lamination object with which a plurality of members were piled up. Specifically, theannular member11 comprises anartificial skin13, alower net14 piled up on theartificial skin13, and an upper net15 piled up on thelower net14. Although an illustration is omitted, thelower net14 is fixed to theartificial skin13 via the urethane coat applied to saidlower net14.
Preferably, theannular member11 is formed curve-shaped along the shape of the wearer's scalp. In order to make better reinforcement and feeling of theannular member11, alace tape16 is provided at the bottom of theartificial skin13 along a peripheral edge, and asatin tape17 is formed in it along the inner peripheral edge. Furthermore, the net for preventing exposure of a wig, i.e., a net forwig exposure prevention18 is arranged on thewig base10 as it protrudes outward from the peripheral edge of theannular member11.
Both thelower net14 and the upper net15 are made of synthetic resin, and for example, the polyester of 25 mesh and thickness of 0.3 mm. Thelace tape16 of, for example, polyester with width of 8 mm, and thickness of 0.45 mm, and thesatin tape17 of, for example, polyester with width of 3 mm, and thickness of 0.30 mm, are applicable.
A plurality of bendingparts12A are formed on saidlinear member12, and the extension direction of the parts which connect thebending parts12A 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 theannular member11. In an example of illustration, inside opening11A of theannular member11, the adjoininglinear members12 are mutually set from the frontal region to the back of the scalp with the intervals of themutual bending parts12A and12A, as they approach and separate alternately. Thereby, between each of adjoininglinear members12, for example, a rhombic or diamond-shapedbig space11B useful to pull out the wearer's own hair is formed. As shown inFIG. 3, thelinear member12 is formed rather in the convex shape so that it may be in line to the curve form of the longitudinal direction of the wearer's scalp. The interval of the adjoininglinear members12 is not specifically restricted, allowed to be arbitrarily designed, for example, as a broad width of about 1 to 4 cm, or a narrow width of 1 cm or less, considering the wearer's thin hair state or hair style.
Thelinear member12 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).
Thelinear member12 is, as shown inFIG. 3, sewn on and fixed to theannular member11 by the thread material of which illustration is omitted, having each end pinched among thelower net14, theupper net15, and the net forwig exposure prevention18, so that its tip is set to the position which entered inside a little from the rim of theannular member11. Here,FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view along B-B line ofFIG. 3, and as shown in this figure, the part from the tip of thelinear member12 close to the rim of theannular member11 to about 5 mm is formed in the shape of a plate, and it is inserted between theupper net15 and the net forwig exposure prevention18. In parts other thanflat part12B of the end of thelinear member12, the cross-section is formed circular.
False hair20 is attached to theannular member11 and thelinear member12 which constitute thewig base10.False hair20 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 thewig base10, and many strands are attached protruding upward.
In order to fix awig1 to the wearer's scalp, the known stopper for wigs is provided in the desired part of the bottom of theannular member11 which constitutes thewig base10.
Thewig1 of the present invention is constituted as mentioned above, and the explanation of manufacturing method is made next. Especially, thewig base10 of thewig1 in accordance with the present invention is manufactured according to the manufacturing process shown inFIG. 5. First, explanation is made of the manufacturing method of thewig base10.
According to the manufacturing process shown inFIG. 5, first, as Step S1, the gypsum mold which molded the wearer's scalp or imitated a typical scalp shape is prepared. As Step S2, two sheets of net are prepared and a scalp shape is applied to these nets. That is, a flat net member is processed thermally or an ultrasonic process into the shape which bulges in the shape of convexity. As Step S3, straight wire rods are prepared and shaped wavy, that is, into a zigzag shape. Then, as Step S4, the artificial skin in line with a scalp shape is produced.
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 forwig exposure prevention18 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-mentionedStep3. 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, thelace tape16 and thesatin tape17 are attached to the fifth intermediate to produce the sixth intermediate. Finally, as Step S12, thewig base10 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 thewig base10 is marked on the gypsum surface.FIG. 6 is a plan view of agypsum mold50, and as shown in this figure, aperipheral line51 and aninner perimeter line52 for defining the range of theannular member11, anarrangement line53 that shows an arrangement position of thelinear member12, and aline54 which shows an attachment position of the net forwig exposure prevention18 are marked on the gypsum surface.
Step S2: Fabrication of a Scalp Shape from a Net
First, after covering a polypropylene sheet on thegypsum mold50 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 thegypsum mold50 with a needle for fixation. Between the two nets, the net which exists downward is formed as thelower net14 by the below-mentioned process and the net which exists upward is formed as theupper net15. 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 thegypsum mold50 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 thegypsum mold50 is cooled, a net is removed from thegypsum mold50. Between the two nets on which the model of scalp shape is formed by this process, one is called thefirst net140, and the other is called thesecond net150.
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 inFIG. 7 would be used in that case.FIG. 7 (A) is a plan view of a formingboard60, andFIG. 7 (B) is a cross-sectional view of the formingboard60. As shown in these figures, the formingboard60 comprises a long and narrowwooden base61 and a plurality ofwooden pillar members62 which stand up on the surface of thebase61 and are arranged in the base length direction. The mutuallyadjoining pillar members62 are shifted to right and left alternately in the base length direction so that the axes of the pillars may not overlap. Eachpillar member62 is fixed to the base61 with anail63. The diameter of thepillar member62 is suitably selected in the range of, for example, 0.9 to 1.7 cm, and the deviation to the right and the left of the adjoiningpillar members62 is also suitably chosen. The curvature of zigzag curves can be suitably set up by changing the diameter of the pillar member and shifting quantity.
The first wire rod is arranged to the thus constituted formingboard60. Concretely, as shown inFIG. 8, thefirst wire rod121 is let between the adjoiningpillar members62 and62, and is fixed by twisting both ends of afirst wire rod121 around thenails64 and64 which stand on the surface of both ends of thebase61. The shape of a bendingpart12A is acquired by heating, for example, at 150 degrees C. for 5 hours for thermal fabrication the formingboard60 with the twistedfirst wire rod121. Thus, thesecond wire rod122 wave-shaped as a whole is produced.
The process of the above step S2 is repeated to produce a plurality ofsecond wire rods122.
Next, eachsecond wire rod122 fabricated wave-shaped is placed on anarrangement line53 drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50 shown inFIG. 6, and in order to tightly stick thegypsum mold50 and thesecond wire rod122, as shown inFIG. 9, the bendingpart12A of thesecond wire rod122 is pressed tight and fixed on the gypsum surface with atack66. Further, the part of thesecond wire rod122 which protrudes outside of aperipheral line51 which is drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50 is fixed so as to stick tightly to thegypsum mold50 with a needle forfixation67A. Thus, in the state of tight adhesion of thesecond wire rod122 to the surface of thegypsum mold50, thegypsum mold50 is heated, for example, at 150 degrees C. for 5 hours, the shape of thegypsum mold50, i.e., the wig wearer's scalp shape, is applied to thesecond wire rod122, to produce thethird wire rod123 which is referred toFIG. 17. Then, after cooling thegypsum mold50 to room temperature, a mark is put on the portion where theperipheral line51 and theinner perimeter line52 intersect with thethird wire rod123, thetack66 and the needle forfixation67A are removed from thegypsum mold50, everythird wire rod123 is removed from the gypsum mold, and the adhering gypsum powder is flushed with water.
By this process, thethird wire rod123 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 thegypsum mold50 and fixed to it, and a coated film is formed by applying the thermoplastic elastomer solution in which a deglossing agent is added on thegypsum mold50, and as shown inFIG. 10, firstartificial skin131 in shape of a scalp is produced by drying it at the temperature of 60 degrees C. for 2 hours. As thermoplastic elastomer solution in which a deglossing agent is added, for example, the solution with a thermoplastic elastomer dissolved in an organic solvent and with inorganic particles added therein is used. Concretely, the solution of the organic solvent with dimethylformamide and methylethylketone mixed at a ratio of 8:2 with urethane elastomer dissolved therein, and with 5 to 25% of powder silica ofparticle diameter 10 micrometers or less added also therein is used.
Step S5: Unification of Artificial Skin and a Net
As shown inFIG. 11, thefirst net140 of a scalp shape fabricated at Step S2 is put on the firstartificial skin131 produced at Step S4, and the firstartificial skin131 and thefirst net140 are fixed to thegypsum mold50 with a needle forfixation67B. And thermoplastic elastomer solution is applied to the portion of thefirst net140 of the domain between theperipheral line51 and theinner perimeter line52 which are marked on thegypsum mold surface50 as a mark to define the range of anannular member11. As said thermoplastic elastomer solution, for example, the solution in which thermoplastic elastomer is dissolved with organic solvent is used. Concretely, the solution in which urethane elastomer is dissolved with the organic solvent of dimethylformamide and methylethylketone mixed at a ratio of 8:2 is preferred.
After applying thermoplastic elastomer solution in a shape of a circle to the portion of thefirst net140 of the domain between theperipheral line51 and theinner perimeter line52, 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 thefirst net140 of the domain between theperipheral line51 and theinner perimeter line52. The thermoplastic elastomer solution in which said deglossing agent is added is the same as the solution at Step S4. Then, the firstartificial skin131 and the first net140 unified in the domain between theperipheral line51 and theinner perimeter line52 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 inFIG. 12, on the first intermediate, i.e., the first net140 unified at step S5 with the firstartificial skin131, along theline54 used as the mark of the attachment position of the net18 for wig exposure prevention drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50, the net18 for wig exposure prevention is arranged, using an ultrasonic generator, and the net forwig exposure prevention18 is tentatively attached to thefirst net140 by ultrasonic welding. The display of the first intermediate is omitted inFIG. 12. As the net forwig exposure prevention18, a belt-like product made of polyester of 14 mesh is used, and as shown inFIG. 13. The net18 for wig exposure prevention is tentatively attached to the first net140 in piles so that it may protrude about 2 mm from theperipheral line51 which defines the range of theannular member11. Then, the thermoplastic elastomer solution with the same deglossing agent as what was used at Step S4 added therein is coated to the net forwig exposure prevention18 tentatively attached to the first net140 in the range of theline54 which indicates the attachment position of the net forwig exposure prevention18 from theperipheral line51, and by drying at the temperature of 60 degrees C. for 1 hour, the net18 for wig exposure prevention is fixed to thefirst net140. Here, the net forwig exposure prevention18 fixed to thefirst net140 is called the second intermediate.
Step S7: Excision of Artificial Skin, and Marking of the Attachment Position of a Linear Member
After attachment of the net forwig exposure prevention18 at Step S6 is completed, thegypsum mold50 is cooled to room temperature, and as shown inFIG. 14, maskingtapes71 and72 are stuck on thefirst net140 along theperipheral line51 and theinner perimeter line52 defining the range of theannular member11 drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50. InFIG. 14, the display of the firstartificial skin131 and thefirst net140 is omitted. The second intermediate which integrated the firstartificial skin131, thefirst net140, and the net forwig exposure prevention18 is removed from thegypsum mold50, is turned over, and the portion of the firstartificial skin131 which is not integrated with thefirst net140 is excised. Specifically, of the firstartificial skin131, the portion indicated with the alternate long and short dash line of the inner side surrounded by theinner perimeter line52 is excised inFIG. 15.
Next, what integrated the firstartificial skin131, thefirst net140, and a net forwig exposure prevention18 is returned to the front and set up on thegypsum mold50, and fixed to the gypsum mold with a needle for fixation. Then, as shown inFIG. 16, the fixingpositions71A and72A of thelinear member12 are drawn on maskingtapes71 and72 using thearrangement line53 of thelinear member12 drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50 as a mark. InFIG. 16, the display of the firstartificial skin131 and thefirst net140 is omitted. Here, the product which is after processing on the second intermediate at said process is called the third intermediate.
Step S8: Processing of the Tip Part of a Linear Member
First, as shown inFIG. 17, thethird wire rod123 produced at Step S3 is arranged on the first net140 according to themarks71A and72A which were drawn at Step S7 on maskingtapes71 and72 and thearrangement line53 of thelinear member12 which is drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50. InFIG. 17, the display of the firstartificial skin131 and thefirst net140, i.e., the third intermediate, is omitted. Then, as shown inFIG. 18, a mark is put onposition52A of the intersection to theinner perimeter line52 of thethird wire rod123,position55A of the intersection of thethird wire rod123 to theboundary line55 of the net forwig exposure prevention18, and thefirst net140, andposition51A of the intersection to theperipheral line51 of thethird wire rod123. Then thethird wire rod123 is moved to other places, the intersection portion to theperipheral line51 of thethird wire rod123 is crushed with an ultrasonic generator, planemonotonous part12B is formed to produce thefourth wire rod124. Then, again, as shown inFIG. 19, thefourth wire rod124 is laid so that thearrangement line53 may be suited on thegypsum mold50, and as shown inFIG. 20, thefourth wire rod124 is cut by bordering on the position which enters inside about 1 mm from theperipheral line51. The same processing follows to the other end of thefourth wire rod124. Thus, thelinear member12 is produced. It is further preferable to shave the angle of the end offlat part12B of thelinear member12, as shown inFIG. 21, and to form as a curve face.
Step S9: Temporary Setting of a Linear Member and a Net
Thelinear member12 the processing of which ended in Step S8 is arranged on the first net140 adopted to themarks71A and72A which were drawn on themasking tapes71 and72 in Step S7 and thearrangement line53 of thelinear member12 which was drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50, and then thelinear member12 is attached to the first net140 with amasking tape75 so that the position of thelinear member12 may not shift, as shown inFIG. 22. Then, these are removed from thegypsum mold50, eachlinear member12, which close to the part of thefirst net140, is partially bound with thread to the correspondingperipheral edge51 and theinner perimeter edge52 respectively, in which theperipheral edge51 and theinner perimeter edge52 form the range of theannular member11, and thelinear member12 is temporarily attached to thefirst net140. Typically, as shown inFIG. 23, the part alpha of thelinear member12 close to theperipheral line51 and the part beta of thelinear member12 close to theinner perimeter line52 are fixed to thefirst net140. More specifically, as shown inFIG. 24,thread80 is taken out and inserted to the first net140 with windingthread80 around the surroundings of the tip part of thelinear member12 which entered inside about 3 mm from theperipheral edge51 about 2 to 3 times, and thelinear member12 is partially fixed to thefirst net140. The part beta of thelinear member12 is similarly fixed with thread. The displaying of thefirst net140 is omitted inFIGS. 23 and 24. The product, in which thelinear member12 were temporarily attached to the third intermediate is called the fourth intermediate.
Step S10: Unification with a Linear Member and an Annular Member
The fourth intermediate produced at Step S9 is set up to thegypsum mold50, and fixed with the needle implement for fixation. Further, other second net150 formed at Step S2 is put on thefirst net140, and fixed to thegypsum mold50 with the needle implement for fixation. Thesecond net150 is temporarily attached to the first net140 that integrated with the firstartificial skin131, wherein the two nets were partially integrated using an ultrasonic device, at outside ofperipheral line51, which was drawn on the surface of thegypsum mold50 so that the first and thesecond nets140,150 are piled up each other. Next, as shown inFIG. 25, the maskingtapes73 and74 of 3 mm width are stuck along with theperipheral line51 and theinner perimeter line52. The maskingtape73 stuck along with theperipheral line51 is arranged so that about half may overlap inside theperipheral line51. The maskingtape74 stuck along with theinner perimeter line52 is arranged so that about half may overlap with the outside of theinner perimeter line52. And the product on which the firstartificial skin131,first net140, and second net150 are laminated is removed from thegypsum mold50, and sewing follows along with the boundary line of themasking tapes73 and74 shown withMarks73A and74A inFIG. 25 using a sewing machine. As sewing thread, nylon (registered trademark) thread can be used, for example. InFIG. 25, the display of thefirst net140 and thesecond net150 is omitted.
By such machine sewing, thesecond net150, thelinear member12, and thefirst net140, which were integrated with the firstartificial skin131 are integrated. Thus, the integrated lamination product is turned over as shown inFIG. 26, and surplus partial131A of the firstartificial skin131, which is not being fixed to thefirst net140, is excised. Concretely, surplus partial131A of the firstartificial skin131 located outside from the perforations of sewing along with theperipheral line51 is excised. At above-mentioned process, thesecond net150 unites with the fourth intermediate, and the product which surplus partial131A was excised from firstartificial skin131 is called the fifth intermediate. Surplus partial131A is excised from the firstartificial skin131, and theartificial skin13 in thewig base10 shown inFIG. 3 is formed.
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, thelace tape16 and thesatin tape17 are attached to the back of anartificial skin13. Concretely, as shown inFIG. 27, thelace tape16 is arranged on anartificial skin13 along the peripheral edge of anartificial skin13, sewed the both sides by a sewing machine, and attached to the fifth intermediate. As to thelace tape16, a product made from polyester with a width of 8 mm and a thickness of 0.45 mm is used, for example.
Thesatin tape17 is arranged on anartificial skin13 along the inner perimeter edge of anartificial skin13, sewed the both sides by a sewing machine, and attached to the fifth intermediate. As to thesatin tape17, 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 saidlace tapes16 and thesatin tape17, 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 thelace tape16 and thesatin tape17 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 inFIG. 28, the portion which has not overlapped with theartificial skin13 between thefirst net140 and thesecond net150, i.e., the part of A, B, and C, is excised. A surplus portion is excised from thefirst net140 and thesecond net150, and thelower net14 and the upper net15 in thewig base10 shown inFIG. 3 are formed. Thus, when an unnecessary portion is eliminated at present step, thewig base10 shown inFIG. 1-FIG.3 will be completed.
False hair20 is tied to thewig base10 constituted as mentioned above. Thewig1 by present invention is completed by attaching the well-known stopper for wigs in the position of a request of the bottom of theannular member11 of thewig base10.
Next, usage of the thus manufacturedwig1 of the present invention is explained.
When wearing thewig1, the wearer's own hair is pinched by the stoppers, which are provided in the back of thewig base10, andwig1 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 thelinear member12 using a brush or a comb, pressing down awig1 on the scalp by one hand. Thereby, the wearer's own hair held down by thelinear member12 can be pulled out upwards through thelinear member12 of opening11A of theannular member11. In that case, about almost 100% of wearer's own hair can be easily pulled out through thelinear member12 and12, without catching neither a brush nor a comb in thelinear member12 during brushing, and without entanglement of the wearer's own hair around thelinear member12, since eachlinear member12 and12 are extended mutually almost in parallel along the brushing direction.
Wearing of thewig1 is completed, by brushing lightly with the hairdressing brush etc. and mixing the wearer's own hair andfalse hair20, after pulling out the wearer's own hair toward the external surface of thewig1, and by having one's hair and false hair cut to a desired hairstyle.
Thus, by thewig1 of present invention, since the ends of eachlinear member12 and12 are fixed to theannular member11, thelinear member12 does not rise or the direction of thelinear member12 does not change or shift, even if thelinear member12 is pulled by brushing etc. On the other hand, by theconventional wig200 shown inFIG. 29, since therib211 moved easily, there was a possibility that arib211 might appear or be exposed outside by brushing, careless handling, etc. By contrast, since the motion of thelinear member12 is regulated, thewig1 by present invention causes neither rising of thelinear member12 nor change of the direction by deviate.
Although using theconventional wig200 shown inFIG. 29, there was a possibility that hair separation might occur and the rib might be exposed since therib211 was extended in the shape of a straight line in the longitudinal direction, however, using thewig1 by present invention, since thelinear member12 is crooked in the shape of zigzag and has extended to the longitudinal direction, it is hard to cause hair separation. Therefore, thewig1 by the present invention can reduce exposure of a wig compared with theconventional wig200. Since thelinear member12 is arranged in the shape of zigzag within the wearer's own hair and it is covered from in whole by the wearer's own hair and thefalse hair20 of thewig base10, it is not easily visible to the outside.
With thewig1 by present invention, since thelinear member12 is bending in the shape of zigzag, muchfalse hair20 can be attached compared with therib211 of theconventional wig200 extended in the shape of a straight line. Therefore, the quantity of the hair of awig1 can be increased. Since uneven andbig space11B is formed between the adjoininglinear members12 and12, set on theannular member11, wearer's own hair can be pulled out easily, and handling is also easy.
As thelace tape16 and thesatin tape17 are attached towig1 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 fourlinear members12 are provided in thewig1 shown inFIG. 1, as for the number of thelinear member12, it is needless to say that it is not what is limited to the example of illustration. Neither the number of bendingpart12A of thelinear member12 nor the degree of a curve is also restricted to the example of illustration. Thelace tape16, thesatin tape17, and the net forwig exposure prevention18 are not necessarily indispensable elements that what is necessary is just to have if needed. The arrangement direction of thelinear member12 is fine if the adjoininglinear member12 and12 do not cross mutually, and it is not restricted to the longitudinal direction of illustration.
