Headwear and Method for Manufacturing the Same

Abstract

A headwear includes an outer panel including at least two fabric sheets connected at each opposite end portion; an inner panel including at least two fabric sheets connected at each opposite end portion; a shape forming panel being between the outer and inner panels, downwardly offset from a center axis of the outer and inner panels, and sewed on the inner panel. With such a structure, since the margins between the outer and inner panels are far from the forehead and are separately disposed, the headwear may not compress a forehead. In addition, since the shape-forming panel may provide a variable cavity portion between the outer and inner panel, a headwear may have an excellent wearing comfort and a good design when it may come in close contact with the head.

1 . A headwear comprising:
 an outer panel including at least two fabric sheets connected at each opposite end portion;   an inner panel including at least two fabric sheets connected at each opposite end portion;   a shape forming panel being between the outer and inner panels, downwardly offset from a center axis of the outer and inner panels, and sewed on the inner panel.   
   
   
       2 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the at least fabric sheet includes an outer head wearing fabric sheet and an outer visor fabric sheet and the outer panel is formed by sewing a first margin of the outer head wearing fabric sheet with a second margin of the outer visor fabric sheet, the outer head wearing fabric sheet having the first margins at the lower end portion thereof and the outer visor fabric sheet having the second margin at the upper end portion thereof. 
   
   
       3 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the shape forming panel includes a core member having a predetermined strength and a tape member having a predetermined elastic force along a vertical direction thereof and the tape member being sewed on the one end portion of the core member near to the forehead. 
   
   
       4 . The headwear of  claim 3 , wherein the tape member has a fixed end portion (a third margin ) elastically connected with one end portion of the core member and a free end portion disposed near to the forehead. 
   
   
       5 . The headwear of  claim 4 , wherein the third margin is separately disposed from the first margin and the third margin is downwardly offset from the second margin. 
   
   
       6 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the shape-forming panel forms a cavity portion based on a center axis thereof between the outer and inner panels. 
   
   
       7 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the inner panel includes an inner visor fabric sheet and an inner head wearing fabric sheet and the inner panel is formed by sewing a fourth margin of an inner head wearing fabric sheet on the backside of the inner visor fabric sheet, the inner head wearing fabric sheet having the fourth margin at the lower end portion thereof. 
   
   
       8 . The headwear of  claim 7 , wherein the fourth margin is downwardly offset from the first margin and the fourth margin is separated from the second and third margins. 
   
   
       9 . The headwear of  claim 2 , wherein the outer head wearing fabric sheet is the same material as the outer visor fabric sheet. 
   
   
       10 . The headwear of  claim 1 , further comprising a sweat absorbing member on the inner panel near to the forehead. 
   
   
       11 . A method for manufacturing a headwear comprising:
 forming an outer panel by smoothly connecting an outer head wearing fabric sheet to an outer visor fabric sheet;   forming a shape-forming panel by combining a core member with a tape member, the core member having a predetermined strength and the tape member having an elastic force in a vertical direction;   combining the shape-forming panel on an inner visor fabric sheet;   forming an inner panel by combining an inner head wearing fabric sheet on the back surface of the inner visor fabric sheet; and,   sewing both end portions of the outer and inner panels.   
   
   
       12 . The method for manufacturing a headwear of  claim 11 , wherein the forming of the outer panel includes
 the outer head wearing fabric sheet having a first margin upwardly folded at a lower portion thereof, the outer visor fabric sheet having a second margin downwardly folded at a upper portion thereof, and sewing the first and the second margins opposite to each other.   
   
   
       13 . The method for manufacturing a headwear of  claim 11 , wherein the forming of the shape-shaping panel includes the tape member having a third margin folded at an fixed end portion thereof and sewing the third margin on the one end portion of the core member, the core member having a predetermined strength and the tape member having an elastic force in a vertical direction. 
   
   
       14 . The method for manufacturing a headwear of  claim 13 , wherein the third margin is separated from the first margin and is downwardly offset from the second margin. 
   
   
       15 . The method for manufacturing a headwear of  claim 11 , wherein the shape-forming panel forms a variable cavity portion based on a center axis thereof between the outer and inner panels. 
   
   
       16 . The method for manufacturing a headwear of  claim 15 , wherein the variable cavity portion become larger when the outer head wearing fabric sheet or the outer visor is fabric sheet is pulled in a direction crossed the center axis. 
   
   
       17 . The method for manufacturing a headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the forming of the inner panel includes the inner head wearing portion having a fourth margin folded at the lower end portion thereof and sewing the fourth margin on the back surface of the inner visor fabric sheet.
