- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Caps are becoming one part of life of human being. In occasions such as exercises or going-out, people often utilize a cap/headgear to shade the sunlight, to absorb sweat or to hold their hair to prevent the hair from interfering eyesight. Generally, a cap usually has a peak to shade the sunlight. The cap is made of fabrics with good absorption, and is provided with a stretchable elastic band, so that the cap may fit the wearer's head properly and comfortably. Such cap allows the wearer to easily put on and to avoid the tense feeling of having something tied to his/her head.
- Caps not only can serve the purposes of shading rain and sunlight but also can be used to match clothing of various styles, thus they are becoming one essential part of the clothing among consumers.
- Taking a cap structure for example, the conventional structure of a cap is provided with a peak made of soft plastic, the top of the peak is combined to a crown portion having an elastic band at the rear end. The tension of the elastic band, the cap can fit to wearers with various head sizes. Therefore, the extensibility of the elastic band is an important requirement of headgear products.
- According to the prior art under U.S. Pat. No. 6,625,818 disclosures an elastic band including layers of stretchable fabrics and elastic stitching, such that when the elastic band is pulled by force, the area thereof will expand. However, as the layers of fabrics are secured by the elastic stitching in a lengthways direction of the elastic band, the lengthways stretch ability of the elastic band is the smallest of all the fabrics and the stitching, which could be none since the fabrics may be uniaxially or multiaxially stretchable as disclosed in the patent specification.
- Since the lengthways stretch ability of the elastic band is limited by its material, therefore the choice of materials for the elastic band is also limited. When improper materials are selected and the lengthways stretch ability will be poor, a wearer may feel tense while wearing a wrong cap, and gradually feel stressed after a period of time.
- Accordingly, the inventor provides a new idea to improve the extensibility of the elastic bands of the prior art which allows the wearer to wear the elastic band products, such as headbands and headgears comfortably without feeling restrained or stressed.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a stretchable sweatband, which utilizes a fabric covering a stretchable band and utilizes a particular sewing method/weave to increase elasticity. It is another object of the present invention to provide at least one or more than one seaming portion sewed on the stretchable band directly, and would not limit its elasticity. It is another object of the present invention to provide a stretchable sweatband, which can increase ventilation, sweat absorption, sweat drain and heat dissipation. It is another object of the present invention to provide a stretchable band which expands in a longitudinal direction in accordance a variety of head sizes.
- The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objectives by providing a stretchable sweatband or a stretchable cap comprising a stretchable band, a fabric and a seaming portion. The stretchable band has at least one rubber band and a plurality of elastic yarns sewed together to form the stretchable band extending along a longitudinal direction. The fabric entirely covers the stretchable band along the longitudinal direction. The seaming portion is used to seam the fabric and the stretchable band together for adjusting the length of the stretchable sweatband in the longitudinal direction.
- In a preferable embodiment, the fabric includes at least two cut ends. The two cut ends of the fabric are lapped over one surface of the stretchable band, and then are seamed together by the seaming portion. In other embodiments, the two cut ends of the fabric are disposed corresponding to each other and position on one surface of the stretchable band. Moreover, the type of the stretchable band is preferably a meshed-elastic band knitted by the rubber bands and elastic yarns. The fabric includes a stretchable fabric. Therefore, the stretchable sweatband is made of the above-mentioned components which can stretch in the longitudinal direction.

The two cut ends 302, 304 can be disposed in various positions depending on the weave of the seamingportion 400. The seamingportion 400 could be made by using one needle or more than one needle, and the sewed position of the seamingportion 400 also depends on the demand of the invention. However, in other embodiments, the seaming portion may also include attaching, sticking, fastening or other connecting methods. In the embodiment of shown inFIGS. 2 a and 2 b, the two cut ends 302, 304 of thefabric 300 lap over one surface of thestretchable band 200. Onecut end 304 is disposed at bottom end of thestretchable band 200, and one end of the other cut end 302 is folded disposed close to the middle of thestretchable band 200. The weave of the seamingportion 400 according to the preferable embodiment is a vertical looper and flatbed made by using a multi-needle and double chain stitch machine. - However, in the embodiment shown in
FIG. 3 a, thecut end 302 may not also required to be folded disposed near the middle of thestretchable band 200. Moreover, in the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 b, thecut end 304 is disposed close to the middle of thestretchable band 200, and the other cut end 302 is folded corresponding to thecut end 304. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 c, the two cut ends 302, 304 of thefabric 300 may also disposed facing each other on one surface of thestretchable band 200. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 d, the two cut ends 302, 304 may overlap one another near the middle of thestretchable band 200. - The position of the two cut ends 302, 304 are relative to weave of the seaming
portion 400.FIG. 4 a toFIG. 4 d illustrate the front elevation view of the stretchable sweatband according to the present invention. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 4 a, the weave of the seamingportion 400 is three-threads high speed weave made by using one needle and over lock machine, and corresponds toFIG. 3 a. In the embodiment ofFIG. 4 b, the weave of the seamingportion 400 is a high speed and lockstitch weave made by using a single needle and zigzag sewing machine, and corresponds toFIG. 3 b. In the embodiment ofFIG. 4 c, the weave of the seamingportion 400 is a vertical looper and flatbed weave made by using two needles and double chain stitch machine, and corresponds toFIG. 3 c. Furthermore, in the embodiment ofFIG. 4 d, the weave of the seamingportion 400 is a high speed, flatbed and interlock weave made machine, and corresponds toFIG. 3 d. - As depicted above, the weave of the seaming
portion 400 may further include a vertical looper and a flatbed weave made by using a multi-needle and double chain stitch machine. A high speed, cylinder-bed and lockstitch weave made by using a needle and bar tacking machine. A high speed, lockstitch and cylinder-bed weave made by using a single needle and electronic round hole tacking machine. A lockstitch and presser foot feed weave made by using a single needle and zigzag sewing machine. One-thread high speed weave made by using one-needle and over lock machine, a blind stitching machine, or a blanket stitching machine, etc. - When the
stretchable sweatband 100 is under a force, the seamingportion 400, thestretchable band 200 and thefabric 300 will expend along the longitudinal direction or the orientation of the exerted force, as shown inFIG. 5 . In the embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , the seamingportion 400 may slightly limit the extensibility of thestretchable sweatband 100, where the weave of the seaming portion is a lockstitch and presser foot feed weave made by using a single needle and zigzag sewing machine, etc. However, in other embodiments, some of the weave of the seamingportion 400 may help the elasticity of thestretchable sweatband 100, such as the weave of the seaming portion is a high speed, cylinder-bed and lockstitch weave made by using a needle and bar tacking machine, etc. - The
stretchable band 100 has a preferred extensibility, so that the headgear products can fit different wearers with a range of head sizes. Thus, when thestretchable sweatband 100 is worn, the wearers will feel comfortable without any constraint. Accordingly, any position on thestretchable band 100, would not create any constraint within thestretchable band 200 or the seamingportion 400 due to the force exerted to thestretchable sweatband 100. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , thestretchable sweatband 100 structure according to the present invention can be applied to headgear products. The headgear products such as astretchable cap 500 which includes apeak 520, at least acrown portion 530 and astretchable sweatband 100. Thestretchable sweatband 100 is sewed on the inner side of the lowerperipheral rim 510 of thecrown portion 530 and forms a ring. However, in other embodiments, thestretchable sweatband 100 can also be disposed in two segments and sewed on the top and bottom ends of the lower peripheral rim of the crown portion respectively (not illustrated). In addition, in the embodiment shown inFIG. 7 , thestretchable sweatband 100 can be sewed at the rear of thestretchable cap 600 such as tennis caps or a sun visor hats. Thestretchable sweatband 100 in the preferred embodiment can be formed a ring on the rear of thestretchable cap 600. However, in the other embodiments, thestretchable sweatband 100 may be disposed in a single segment and is sewed at the rear of thestretchable cap 600. - As shown in
FIG. 8 , the embodiment is preferably applied to aheadband 700. When use wears the headband 700 (theheadband 700 is substantially a stretchable sweatband 100), an extra covering layer of thefabric 300 contacts the use's skin, and then gives the wearer comfort and also drains sweat more easily. Meanwhile, theheadband 700 not only can be easily bound to the wearer's head to hold the wearer's hair but also absorbing sweat without putting pressure on the wearer's head. Furthermore, the lengthways extensibility of thestretchable sweatband 100 is greater than the sideways extensibility of thestretchable sweatband 100. Nevertheless, the sideways extensibility of thestretchable sweatband 100 may be inefficient according to wearer. Even so, thestretchable sweatband 100 according to present invention can be expanded both lengthways and sideways, and thereby has a multi-directional extensibility. - While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
