ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wig to which length adjusting parts are attached, and more particularly, to a wig including a plurality of adjusters or adjusting bands capable of adjusting the length of the wig, which are attached to a back portion of the wig.
Generally, there are wigs for totally or partly covering the head or a wig for a bald head. A wig is composed of a wig base having an outwardly curved surface arranged in a shape of wearer's head and a plurality of hairs affixed to the wig base. The wig base is generally made by nylon yarn and polyester yarn, or is manufactured in the fashion of a net or a network structure made by polyurethane yarn and polycarbonate yarn, etc, or is made with an artificial skin formed by soft synthetic resins such as polyurethane, polycarbonate, etc. There have been used a natural hair, an artificial hair or a mixed hair as wig hair. On the wig base made in the fashion of a net or a network structure, a plurality of hairs made of natural hairs and/or artificial hairs are tied to from a wig. The hairs are fixed on the wig base so that a pair of hairs are protruded above the surface of the wig base. The wig base made by the soft artificial skin has a similar structure to that of the wig base made in the shape of the net or network structure.
In case where hairs are fixed on or attached to the net-shaped wig base, an attachment direction or orientation of the hairs is variously selected, and a variety of knots in hairs are provided to prevent the knots from being loose.
FIG. 1
is a perspective view showing a conventional wig in which a plurality of hairs are affixed to a net-shaped wig base. As shown in
FIG. 1
, a conventional wig
10
includes a wig base
11
having a curved surface of an outwardly protruded shape, a plurality of hairs
13
attached to the wig base
11
, an ear support
15
attached to the bottom of a side portion of the wig base
11
, and a back end adjusting part
17
attached to the bottom of a back portion of the wig base
11
. A wearer of the wig properly selects the wig according to his/her tastes in hair colors and the size of his/her head. After wearing the wig, the wearer tightens the wig to fit closely around his/her head and not to be easily uncovered or moved.
However, since the back end adjusting part
17
is commonly formed with a Velcro fastener, only a lower portion of the wear's wig is adjusted to fit to his/her head. Therefore, when having the projected forehead or a slightly abnormal shape of the head, the user should wear the wig hair even though such an arrangement causes any inconvenience, because the length of the front and back of the wig cannot be adjusted.
Also, the wig's wearer adjusts only the back end adjusting part
17
so as to suit the wig to his/her head. Therefore, after wearing the wig by adjusting the back end adjusting part
17
, the wearer should continuously wear the wig even if he/she feels any difficulty due to non-elasticity in a weared condition.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In order to solve the problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a wig having length adjusting parts, capable of adjusting the length of the wig according to shapes of wearer's head and increasing a wearing effect of the wig.
To accomplish the above object of the present invention, there is provided a wig including a wig base made by an artificial skin and/or a net having an outwardly curved surface, and a plurality of hairs outwardly sewn on the curved surface of the wig base, comprising:
monotapes, affixed to a front portion of the wig base; and a plurality of length adjusting parts, disposed at a back portion of the wig base, for adjusting the length of the front and back of the weared wig.
It is preferable that the net forming the wig base is made by filament yarn coated with colors similar to the color of the skin of a wearer's head. Also, the length adjusting parts are adjusting bands or adjusters.
To achieve the above object of the present invention, there is provided a wig including a wig base made by an artificial skin and/or a net having an outwardly curved surface, and a plurality of hairs outwardly sewn on the curved surface of the wig base, comprising:
monotapes, affixed to a front portion of the wig base; and an elastic band, attached to the side of the wig base.
A plurality of length adjusting parts which can adjust the length of the front and back of the weared wig are further disposed at the back of the wig base.
It is preferable that the elastic band which is disposed at the side of the wig base is a wool-made band formed between the front portion and an ear support, and that the net forming the wig base is made by filament yarn coated with colors similar to the color of the skin of a wearer's head.
Also, in case that the wig base is manufactured with an artificial skin, it is preferable that the skin is made by using one of a transparent resin or a semi-transparent resin colored by one of the color of the skin or milk-white color.
