Wig and its manufacturing method

Abstract

By undergoing a first step for passing a hook portion 1a of a hair-implanting needle 1 from the surface 2a to the back 2b of a wig base 2 and passing the hook portion back onto the surface at another position, a second step for catching a loop 3b formed at the turning position of hair 3 folded, a third step for pulling the loop 3b out of the wig base 2 in a state wherein the hair is caught by the hair-implanting needle 1, a fourth step for catching one side3a of the hair with the hook portion 1a, a fifth step for pulling the hair-implanting needle out of the loop 3b in this state, a sixth step for forming a knot by pulling one side 3a of the hair while holding the other side 3b, and a seventh step for moving the knot 3e to the back 2b of the wig base by pulling the other side 3b of the hair while holding the one side 3a of the hair, a wig wherein the knot 3e of the hair 3 is on the back 2b of the wig base is produced.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a wig worn on a head and a method for manufacturing the wig, more specifically the wig wherein the part that ties hair to a wig base is not placed on the surface of the wig base and has sufficient adhesion, and the manufacturing method of the wig.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Conventionally, a wig is manufactured by implanting human or artificial hair to a wig base in a shape of a head made of artificial synthetic resin skin or a net material, and by applying a hair adhesive, as required, to the back of the wig base on which the hair has been planted. As disclosed in patent literature 1, planting methods such as single planting, half-knot planting, and split-knot planting are known.[0003]All of the planting methods disclosed in patent literature 1 make pairs of holes on a wig base using a hook, etc., make hair pass through these holes, and tie them on the surface of the wig base, meaning that the knots are placed on the surface of the wig ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0024]According to the wig of the present invention, since the relatively large knots are placed on the back of the wig base, the knots are invisible through the gap between the hairs planted from the surface of the wig base, making the wig hardly recognizable as a wig. In addition, smooth brushing is allowed even when the wig is worn because the teeth of a brush do not catch the knots, thus minimizing the load on the hair implanted. Damage on the hair or loosening of the knots and resulting coming off of hair can thus be prevented. Furthermore, since the knots are placed on the back of the wig base, the teeth of a brush do not contact the knots directly when brushing or washing is performed. Loosening of the knots can thus be prevented. In addition, since adhesion of the hair to the wig base is so strong that no adhesive is required to fasten the hair after implantation. Since only one wig base is needed, the entire wig is made thin and lightweight, making the boundary between the head and the outer periphery of the wig less recognizable. Another advantage of the present invention is that since the part immediately adjacent to the knot of implanted hair is supported by the wig base, favorable erection of the hair is achieved, thus providing sufficient hair volume.

[0025]According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, a wig that does not have knots on the surface can be manufactured. Furthermore, since the knots exist on the back of the wig base, the hair can be adhered to the wig base securely, and the need for applying an adhesive for fastening after implantation can be eliminated, simplifying the manufacturing process.

[0026]By rotating the hair-implanting needle in the second step, the hair is twisted, which enhances the adhesion of the hair to the wig base.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, when hair is brushed, the teeth of a brush may catch these knots, hampering smooth brushing.

If brushing is given repeatedly, the knots may become loose, thus resulting in coming off of wig hair.

Furthermore, depending on the knotting method, erection of hair may become insufficient and consequently desirable volume may not be obtained.
