Benefits of technology

[0003]In view of the insufficient practicability of the currently available headwear, the present inventor, based on years' experience in developing and fabricating headwear, has conducted a series of experiments and researches to eventually invent an impact-protection safety structure of headwear in accordance with the present invention, wherein a knitted impact-protection net lining protector having a proper thickness is fixed to an inside surface of a headwear by means of adhesives or sewing so as to provide a proper buffering space inside the headwear for providing protection against impact to the head caused by unexpected falling or a falling object, to thereby through overcome the problem of insufficient protection against impact of the currently available headwear.
[0004]A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a headwear that has an inside surface to which a layer of knitted net lining for providing proper buffering and protection against impact is attached to provide buffering and protection against impact when a wearer's head is subjected to the impact and thus preventing occurrence of physical damage and realizing practicability of multiple functions for the use of the headwear. The design of a protector by using a net lining that is formed by knitting realizes a structure that ensures protection against impact and also provides excellent air ventilation to ensure comfortable wearing, whereby the structure of the headwear completely meet the needs for a novel design that ensures use safety.

Problems solved by technology

No design in structure concerning use safety is available, especially for protection of a wearer's head.
For example, an old person's head is easily damaged by impact when he or she falls.
Further, satisfactory improvements regarding discomfort of wearing caused improper air ventilation due to poor air permeability of the fabrics making the hat are also not available.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

[0014]With reference to FIGS. 1-4, a headwear constructed in accordance with the present invention comprises a headwear body 10 that is formed and shaped by sewing pieces of fabrics and has a front edge from which a visor 11 extends. The headwear body 10 is shaped to have a recessed and curved inside space to which a net lining protector 12, which is formed by a knitted article having a proper thickness, is attached in such a way that an overall stacked thickness of the knitted net is preferably aro...

Abstract

An impact-protection safety structure is provided for a headwear, including an impact protector formed by a knitted resilient net lining having a suitable thickness and fixed at a suitable location on an inside surface of the headwear to serve as padding, whereby when the head of a wearer is subjected to impacts, proper buffering and protection are ensured so as to realize safety and protection against impact to the head after the headwear is worn.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to an impact-protection safety structure of a headwear, which comprises a knitted net lining protector having a suitable thickness fixed to an inside surface of a headwear by means of adhesives or sewing to form buffering means between the headwear and a wearer's head for protecting the head against damage caused by a falling object or impact occurring at a particular location of the head so as to surely realize safety and protection against impact for head.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]A conventional sports hat is often of a design illustrated in FIG. 6, wherein a hat body 20 made of fabrics of a single layer is formed by sewing several pieces of fabric to show a spherical recessed configuration to fit the contour of a wearer's head and a visor 21 extends a front edge of the hat body to provide a complete headwear structure. Over years, such a configuration is not subjected to significant variation. T...
