Problems to be solved by the invention

A rain-preventing hat should have a large bag, but a large-sized rain-preventing hat becomes a useless long item that is difficult to wear if the rain stops. Sunshades are also shaded and crowded. Even in the case of such a change in the situation, which is difficult to wear, it is extremely convenient if there is a hat that can continue to be worn, and if it can be folded more compactly, it will be convenient for storage and convenient to use.
Such functional hats are now available in the market, where measures are taken to prevent sunlight glare when facing the low sun in the morning and evening. Required.
The market is looking forward to a classic hat.

Means for solving the problem

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and is a hat for reducing the size of a hat with a large shade for avoiding a awning rain. Shorten the circumference of the kite to reduce the size of the kite circle.
By reducing the shape of the hat collar and changing the shape to a normal hat that can be used on a daily basis, as a means of shortening the circumferential length of the collar, the circumferential edge of the collar is formed into a bag shape. Inserting an elastic metal wire inside, the circumferential length of this metal wire is not fixed, it can be easily and easily stretchable structure, and the circumferential length of the heel is adjusted, that is, the heel circle Change the dimensions to suit the purpose of rain and daily use.
The hat is made of elastic metal wire, which is made of elastic metal wire.
Steel wire is inexpensive as a material for elastic metal wire, but wire goods such as stainless steel wire and phosphor bronze wire are applicable.
Since the present invention utilizes the resilience of the elastic metal wire, if the metal wire is made into an eight-character shape, it can be folded into a small size, making it a versatile hat that is convenient for storage and easy to use.
In order to prevent glare from sunlight in the morning and evening sun, a shield screen is provided at the front end of the hat visor. The appropriate size of the shield screen is 30 mm to 150 mm. It can be lifted and lowered and used only when necessary. The holding when lifted may be a hook, a button, a removable adhesive member, a wide elastic band or a hook-and-loop fastener.
The hat of the present invention is used for avoiding awning rain, so the heel is large, so there is a risk of flying with the wind. To prevent it, chin straps are provided on the left and right sides of the heel to prevent the cord from biting into the chin. In order to prevent the pain of the jaw skin, this jaw rest material is made of a soft material and has sponge, cotton, etc. inside. .

The invention's effect

The present invention has the following effects. Conventional rain avoidance hats and sun hats are limited to their use, but the hats of the present invention are hats mainly intended for rain avoidance sunshades, It is a convenient hat that can be changed to a normal ordinary hat because it can be reduced in size, and therefore it is a versatile and convenient hat that can respond to changes in the weather and can be worn even in crowds.
The hat of the present invention can be used more comfortably because the sun can be shielded when the sun is low in the morning and evening, and the chin strap of the captor to hold the cap in a strong wind. It is a hat that takes measures to protect the skin and has taken care of everything.
The cap of the present invention can be folded in a compact manner, so it is convenient to carry even when not in use.

  The present invention is an invention of a hat capable of changing a foldable sunshade avoidance hat made of a flexible material into a daily hat, which will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings [FIG. 1]. Is a perspective view when the folding hat of the present invention is put into a state where it can be worn, wherein 1 is a head part, 2 is a hat bag, and the head part 1 and the hat bag 2 are generally used conventionally. It is the same as the normal hat used, but in the case of the present invention, the bag-shaped part 3 is provided at the entire circumferential end of the hat collar 2, and the hat collar 2 of the present invention mainly avoids awning and rain. The circle is made in a large shape for the purpose.

[FIG. 2] is a perspective view of the expansion ring 4 made of an elastic metal wire inserted into the bag-like portion 3 provided in the cap bag 2 of the folding hat of the present invention. The hat of the present invention holds the shape by the expansion force due to the elasticity of.
Since the expansion ring 4 is a thin metal wire, it can be folded into a compact shape if it is formed in an eight-letter shape, which is convenient for carrying. Is.
All conventional folding hats using elastic metal wires have a metal ring ring fixed and fixed, and therefore the purpose of use is also fixed, but the expansion ring 4 of the present invention is a single metal wire. That is, the wire is rounded and the ends are not connected.
A wire guide A5 and a wire guide B6 are provided at the line end portion of the expansion ring 4 of the present invention. With this, the circumference of the expansion ring 4 can be increased and decreased, and the circumference of the hat collar 2 can be changed. it can.
