Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a hair band-UV protection sun visor, and more particularly to a cap side coupling device that couples a sun visor to a band unit and allows an angle therebetween to be adjusted.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- No UV protection sun visor (visor unit) attached to a hair band has been found in the prior art. To all outward appearances, a fixed type sun cap in which a band unit and a visor unit are fixed to each other and an angle-adjustable type sun cap in which the angle of a visor unit coupled to a band unit is adjustable are similar to such a UV protection sun visor. An example of the fixed type sun cap is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1181720 registered in the name of the present applicant and entitled “Sun Cap with Gradation Visor”. The patent discloses a sun cap that includes: a visor which is coated with a color such that the color is gradated to fade as approaching outside from a wearer's forehead; a head support integrally formed with the visor to be fixed to the forehead; a pair of fixing legs hinged to the opposite ends of the head support to be folded; and a hinge means configured to couple the head support and the fixing legs. Since the material of the visor is identical to that of glasses, the strength of the visor may be improved. In addition, since the visor is coated with a color such that the color is gradated to fade as approaching outside from the wearer's forehead, the visor may efficiently shield ultraviolet rays while securing a clear view. However, in the granted invention, since the band unit and the visor are fixed to each other, it is impossible to adjust the angle of the visor even when the sunlight is strong. As a result, there is a problem in that the wearer's eyes may not be protected.
- In addition, an example of the angle-adjustable type sun cap is disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0426424 entitled, “Sun Cap”. The Utility Model discloses a sun cap in which, when a visor of the sun cap covers a user's eyes, a transparent visor portion of a polycarbonate film is disposed at a portion corresponding to the user's field of vision and at least one opaque visor portion which is thinner than the transparent visor portion is disposed at the remaining portion. The transparent visor portion and the opaque visor portion are connected with each other through backstitching so as to form the visor. The invention is configured such that the angle of the transparent visor portion may be adjusted about a hinge axis. However, since the transparent visor portion cannot be fixed, there is a problem in that the transparent visor portion may slip down as time goes on.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and an aspect of the present invention is to provide a UV protection sun visor attached to a hair band and including a cap side coupling device configured to adjust and fix an angle between a band unit and a visor unit in such a manner that the angle of the visor unit coupled to a band unit may be adjusted and the visor unit may be correctly fixed at the adjusted angle. The coupling device includes an outer coupler and an inner coupler. The cap side coupling device includes circular coupler and a latch coupler.
- In order to accomplish this object, there is provided a hair band-UV (Ultra-Violet) protection sun visor including: a band unit including an outer band and an inner band; a visor unit coupled to the band unit to be rotatable on the band unit; and a cap side coupling device that couples the band unit and the visor unit. The cap side coupling device includes a circular coupler and a latch coupler, the circular coupler is fixedly coupled to the visor unit and the latch coupler is fixedly coupled to the band unit, and the circular coupler visor unit is rotated or fixed on the latch coupler band unit.
- The outer band is a hair band formed by a tubular flexible and elastic band that is weaved in a hollow cylindrical shape. The inner band is a plastic stiffener. When the circular coupler is rotated or fixed on the latch coupler, the visor unit is rotated or fixed on the band unit. The visor unit includes a fixing groove and the circular coupler includes a fixing protrusion. In addition, the fixing groove of the visor unit is fixed by being engaged with the fixing protrusion of the circular coupler and when the visor unit is rotated, the visor unit and the circular coupler are moved in unison. Further, the latch coupler includes a plurality of fixing lugs and the circular coupler includes a toothed fixing portion. Moreover, the toothed fixing portion of the circular coupler are fixedly engaged with the fixing lugs of the latch coupler so that, when the circular coupler is rotated, the toothed fixing portion is rotated on the fixing lugs and when the circular coupler is stopped, the fixing lugs are engaged with teeth of the toothed fixing portion. The latch coupler is assembled with the circular coupler and a fixing plate is assembled thereon so that the fixing plate is fixed by one or more second latches of the latch coupler.
- In addition, the latch coupler is assembled with the circular coupler, the fixing plate is assembled thereon, and a coupling device cover is assembled on the latch coupler. Rectangular holes are formed at each of the centers of opposite end portions of the plastic stiffener and fixing steps are formed at top and bottom sides of each of the rectangular holes. When first latches of the latch coupler 3 are inserted into any of the rectangular holes of the plastic strip piece, the latches are engaged with the fixing steps of the rectangular hole to be fixed so that the inner band plastic stiffener is integrated with the latch coupler. The outer band is a hair band of which the inner surface is not formed with an opening to expose a clamp or a plastic. The visor unit is made of polycarbonate. The visor unit has a ∩ shape so as to maintain the tension of the visor unit and the curve of the visor unit to be fitted on a forehead. The cap side coupling device is made of POM or acetal.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a hair band-UV protection sun visor including: a band unit including an outer band and an inner band; a visor unit coupled to the band unit to be rotatable on the band unit; and a cap side coupling device that couples the band unit and the visor unit. The cap side coupling device includes a circular coupler and a latch coupler, the circular coupler is fixedly coupled to the visor unit, the latch coupler is fixedly coupled to the band unit, the visor unit is rotated or fixed on the band unit when the circular coupler is rotated or fixed on the latch coupler, the outer band is a tubular band, and the inner band is a plastic stiffener. The method of manufacturing a hair band-UV protection sun visor includes: manufacturing the band unit; manufacturing the visor unit; manufacturing the cap side coupling device; and assembling the band unit, the visor unit and the cap side coupling device. The manufacturing of the band unit includes: cutting a weaved cylindrical hollow member into a predetermined length to obtain a tubular band; inserting an iron strip 5 into the tubular band and shooting a laser beam into one surface of the band to perforate the surface; and inserting the plastic stiffener into the tubular band so that the plastic stiffener is disposed at a predetermined position within the tubular band.
- The plastic stiffener is made of PC/ABS PLUS GLASS 5 (registered trademark) to have a curvature that corresponds to an average curvature of adults' foreheads so that the band comes into close contact with a forehead and is formed with one or two holes at each of the opposite end portions so that the plastic stiffener may be used for various sizes of the visor unit.
