Hat part made of synthetic material

Abstract

A hat part made of a plastic material, which maintains its form below a first temperature and is deformable above the first temperature, characterised in that the plastic material has a softening temperature of from 60° C. to 140° C., the material being formable above the softening temperature and remaining in its formed shape below the softening temperature.

1 . A hat part ( 14 ;  18 ;  24 ) made of a plastic material which maintains its shape below a first temperature and is deformable above the first temperature, characterised in that the plastic material has a softening temperature from 60° C. to 140° C., the material being formable above the softening temperature and remaining in its formed shape below the softening temperature.  
   
   
       2 . A hat part according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the plastic material is a thermoplastic urethane, based on polyether or polyester.  
   
   
       3 . A hat part according to  claim 1  or  2 , characterised in that the hat part is provided as a hat flap, which has a portion resting against the head of a person bearing the hat and a distant portion, a hat material being attached to the resting portion.  
   
   
       4 . A hat part according to  claim 1  or  2 , characterised in that a visor part for a cap with visor is provided as the hat part.  
   
   
       5 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterised in that the plastic material is realised as being partially or completely transparent.  
   
   
       6 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  5 , characterised in that the plastic material is partially or completely metallised.  
   
   
       7 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  6 , characterised in that foils are completely or partially injected into the plastic material, which are preferably imprinted.  
   
   
       8 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  7 , characterised in that pigments are incorporated into the plastic material, particularly dye pigments, effect pigments, phosphorescing and/or fluorescing pigments, metallic and/or glittering pigments and Irodin®-pigments.  
   
   
       9 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  8 , characterised in that the plastic material is injection moulded.  
   
   
       10 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  9 , characterised in that the plastic material is flexible and/or elastic even below the first temperature.  
   
   
       11 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  10 , characterised in that the plastic material has a VICAT-softening temperature, in particular the softening temperature for VICAT A with 50 N, of from 60° C. to 140° C., preferably from 70° C. to 95° C.  
   
   
       12 . A hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  11 , characterised in that the plastic material has a heat deflection temperature, in particular at a bending stress of 0.45 MPa, between 50° C. and 170° C., preferably between 62° C. and 101° C.  
   
   
       13 . A transportation container for a hat part according to any one of  claims 1  to  12 , characterised through at least one accommodation compartment, in which at least one hat part which is inserted rests completely or partially against the inner side of the walls or against the adjacent hat parts, respectively, such that the hat parts are kept in their desired shape.  
   
   
       14 . A transportation container according to  claim 13 , characterised in that the accommodation compartments are realised so as to accommodate visor parts.  
   
   
       15 . A transportation container according to  claim 14 , characterised in that the accommodation compartments are disposed parallel to each other and each two adjacent accommodation compartments are separated from each other by a common wall.  
   
   
       16 . A transportation container according to any one of  claims 13  to  15 , characterised in that it is made of a foamed material, in particular of Styropor®.  
   
   
       17 . A transportation container according to any one of  claims 13  to  16 , characterised in that the accommodation compartment is essentially constituted by a pair of grooves, which are arranged parallel to each other, for putting in the hat part.  
   
   
       18 . A transportation container according to  claim 17 , characterised in that the grooves are each connected with each other by a groove, running in the bottom of the container.
