Description

The present invention relates to a wig edge member that is attached to the edge of a wig base, and a wig that includes this wig edge member.

It is important for wigs to have a natural appearance at the edges that blend in with the wearer's own hair, and various innovations have been implemented in the edges of wigs. For example, some wigs have additional components attached to the edges of the wig body to achieve a natural appearance. One such proposal is a wig that has a capture section on the outer edge of the wig base that holds the wearer's own hair, and a loop-shaped retainer that protrudes outward from the outer edge (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2014-9406 A

In the wig described in Patent Document 1, artificial hair can be planted in the loop-shaped holding portion, and can be blended with the natural hair contained in the capture portion to obtain a natural appearance. However, since this wig is intended to effectively prevent the boundary of the wig base from being exposed and to reduce the wig's shifting and maintain a natural appearance for a long time, it does not assume the compatibility with a variety of styles. For example, since the loop-shaped holding portion simply protrudes outward from the outer edge at intervals, it is difficult to adjust the desired amount of hair to the edge of the wig. Furthermore, the placement of the loop-shaped holding portion holds down the natural hair that has been blended in, making it difficult to create hairstyles that stand up the natural hair, and also making it difficult to vary the hairstyle.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above problems, and aims to provide a wig edge member and a wig that have a natural appearance, allow for adjustment of the amount of hair to add variety to the hairstyle, and have increased strength when pulled.

In order to solve the above problems, a wig edge member according to one aspect of the present invention comprises:
a first string-like member and a second string-like member in which a plurality of loops are formed along a longitudinal direction with a connecting portion therebetween;
a belt-shaped member to which the first string-shaped member and the second string-shaped member are attached;
Equipped with
In the longitudinal direction of the first string-like member, a large loop having the highest loop height, a small loop having the lowest loop height, and a medium loop having a loop height intermediate between the large loop and the small loop are arranged,
In the longitudinal direction of the second string-like member, at least the large loop and a medium loop having a loop height intermediate between the large loop and the small loop are arranged,
the large loop intersects with the small loop or the medium loop,
The connecting portion extends substantially linearly,
The connecting portion is joined to the belt-shaped member with the first string-shaped member and the second string-shaped member extending along the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped member and the loop positioned so as to protrude from one side edge of the belt-shaped member.

A wig according to one aspect of the present invention is
a wig base having the above-mentioned wig edge member attached to its edge;
False hairs attached to the wig edge member and the wig base;
It is equipped with:

As described above, the present invention can provide a wig edge component and a wig that have a natural appearance, allow for adjustment of the amount of hair, allow for variation in hairstyle, and can increase strength when pulled.

Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following unless otherwise specified.
In each drawing, components having the same function may be given the same symbol. In consideration of the explanation or ease of understanding of the main points, the embodiments and examples may be shown separately for convenience, but partial replacement or combination of the configurations shown in different embodiments and examples is possible. In the embodiments and examples described below, descriptions of matters common to the above will be omitted, and only the differences will be described. In particular, similar effects due to similar configurations will not be mentioned in each embodiment or example. The size and positional relationship of the components shown in each drawing may be exaggerated to clarify the explanation.

(Component for wig edge according to the first embodiment)
First, a wig edge member according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a wig edge member according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
The wig edge member 2 according to this embodiment comprises a first string-like member 20A in which a plurality of loops 22A, 24A, 26A are formed along the longitudinal direction with a connecting portion 28A in between, and a second string-like member 20B in which a plurality of loops 22B, 24B are formed along the longitudinal direction with a connecting portion 28B in between. The first string-like member 20A and the second string-like member 20B are formed of monofilament or multifilament yarn made of a resin material or a natural material. Furthermore, the wig edge member 2 comprises a belt-like member 30 to which the first string-like member 20A and the second string-like member 20B are attached.

In the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the first string-like member 20A, a large loop 22A with the highest loop height, a small loop 26A with the lowest loop height, and a medium loop 24A with a loop height intermediate between the large loop 22A and the small loop 26A are arranged. In the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the second string-like member 20B, a large loop 22B and a medium loop 24B are arranged. The loop height of the large loop 22B of the second string-like member 20B is approximately the same as the loop height of the large loop 22A of the first string-like member 20A. In addition, the loop height of the medium loop 24B is intermediate between the large loop 22A and the small loop 26A. The loop heights of the medium loop 24A of the first string-like member 20A and the medium loop 24B of the second string-like member 20B may be approximately the same or may be different heights.

Furthermore, the large loop 22A intersects with the medium loop 24B (see arrow S), and the large loop 22B intersects with the small loop 26A (see arrow T).
The connecting portions 28A, 28B extend in an approximately straight line, and the first string-like member 20A and the second string-like member 20B extend along the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 30, while the loops 22A to 26A, 22B to 24B are arranged to protrude from one side edge of the belt-like member 30, and the connecting portions 28A, 28B are joined to the belt-like member 30.

This allows for a natural appearance, allows for adjustment of the amount of hair, allows for variation in hairstyle, and also provides strength. In other words, by distributing large, medium, and small loops among multiple string-like members 20A, 20B, it is possible to arrange the connecting parts in a single string-like member 20A (20B) in a balanced manner, thereby increasing the strength when pulled.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the medium loops 24A and small loops 26A are arranged between the large loops 22A in the longitudinal direction of the first string-like member 20A. This allows for a natural appearance and a well-balanced hairstyle.

(Second embodiment of wig edge member)
Next, a wig edge member according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a wig edge member according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a small loop 26B is further arranged in the longitudinal direction of the second string-like member 20B. In the first string-like member 20A according to this embodiment, two medium loops 24A and one small loop 26A are arranged between the large loops 22A.
The loop height of the small loops 26B of the second string-shaped member 20B is substantially the same as the loop height of the small loops 26A of the first string-shaped member 20A, which provides a more natural appearance and makes it easier to adjust the hair volume.

(A member for wig edges according to a third embodiment)
Next, a wig edge member according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a wig edge member according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
The wig edge member 2 according to this embodiment includes a third string-like member 20C in addition to the first string-like member 20A and the second string-like member 20B. The third string-like member 20C can have substantially the same shape as the first string-like member 20A or the second string-like member 20B. In other words, the third string-like member 20C, which includes a large loop 22C having the highest loop height, a small loop 26C having the lowest loop height, and a middle loop 24C having a loop height intermediate between the large loop 22C and the small loop 26C in the longitudinal direction, is attached to the belt-like member 30.
This provides a more natural appearance and makes it easier to adjust the amount of hair.

(Fourth embodiment of wig edge member)
Next, a wig edge member according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs.

(Fourth embodiment of wig edge member)
Next, a wig edge member according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a first string-like member, a second string-like member, and a third string-like member attached to a belt-like member in a wig edge member according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a wig edge member in which the first string-like member, the second string-like member, and the third string-like member shown in Fig. 4 are attached to a belt-like member.
The wig edge member 2 comprises three string-like members, a first string-like member 20A (see solid line), a second string-like member 20B (see dashed line) and a third string-like member 20C (see dashed line), as well as a belt-like member 30 to which the first to third string-like members 10A to 10C are attached.

The first to third string-like members 20A to 20C are formed of monofilament or multifilament yarn made of a resin material or a natural material, and each has approximately the same shape.
The first to third string-like members 20A to 20C have large loops 22A to 22C having the highest loop height, small loops 26A to 26C having the lowest loop height, and medium loops 24A to 24C having a loop height intermediate between the large loops 22A to 22C and the small loops 26A to 26C.
In the first string-like member 20A, a pattern in which the large loop 22A, the medium loop 24A, the small loop 26A, and the medium loop 24A are arranged in this order, with the connecting portion 16A extending substantially linearly sandwiched between them, is repeatedly formed along its longitudinal direction (X-axis direction). Similarly, in the second string-like member 20B, a pattern in which the large loop 22B, the medium loop 24B, the small loop 26B, and the medium loop 24B are arranged in this order, with the connecting portion 28B sandwiched between them, is repeatedly formed along its longitudinal direction (X-axis direction). Similarly, in the third string-like member 20C, a pattern in which the large loop 22C, the medium loop 24C, the small loop 26C, and the medium loop 24C are arranged in this order, with the connecting portion 28C sandwiched between them, is repeatedly formed along its longitudinal direction (X-axis direction).

The connecting portions 28A-28C, which extend in a substantially straight line and connect the loops 22A-C, 24A-C, and 26A-C, are positioned in a substantially straight line. In addition, the loops 22A-C, 24A-C, and 26A-C have a curved shape that is convex in the same direction relative to the connecting portions 28A-28C.

The first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B, and the third string-like member 20C having such shapes are each attached to a belt-like member 30, thereby forming the wig string-like member 2. Examples of the belt-like member 30 include woven fabrics and mesh-like sheets made of resin materials or natural materials.

To describe the shapes of the first to third string-like members 20A to C in more detail, the loop length L of the large loops 22A to C, the loop length L of the medium loops 24A to C, and the loop length L of the small loops 26A to C are all formed to be substantially the same in the first to third string-like members 20A to C. The loop length L means the distance in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) between the start and end ends of the loop, which are the boundary points with the connecting parts 28A to C on both sides.
The connecting portions 28A to 28C of the first to third string-like members 20A to 20C, which extend substantially linearly, have a length that is substantially half the loop length L, respectively.
As a result, as is clear from Figure 4, in the first to third string-like members 20A to 20C, a pattern of total length 6L is repeatedly formed along their longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) in which large loop 22, medium loop 24, small loop 26, and medium loop A are arranged in that order, sandwiched between connecting portions 16A to 16C which extend in an approximately straight line.

In addition, the loop height Hh(a) of the large loop 22A of the first string-like member 20A, the loop height Hh(b) of the large loop 22B of the second string-like member 20B, and the loop height Hh(c) of the large loop 22C of the third string-like member 20C are formed to be approximately the same. Similarly, the loop height Hm(a) of the medium loop 24A of the first string-like member 20A, the loop height Hm(b) of the medium loop 24B of the second string-like member 20B, and the loop height Hm(c) of the medium loop 24C of the third string-like member 20C are formed to be approximately the same. Similarly, the loop height Hl(a) of the small loop 26A of the first string-like member 20A, the loop height Hl(b) of the medium loop 24B of the second string-like member 20B, and the loop height Hl(c) of the medium loop 24C of the third string-like member 20C are formed to be approximately the same.
The loop heights Hh(a) to (c) of the large loops 22A to 22C, the loop heights Hm(a) to (c) of the medium loops 24A to 24C, and the loop heights Hl(a) to (c) of the small loops 26A to 26C are
Hh(a)~(c) > Hm(a)~(c) > Hl(a)~(c)
The above relationship exists.

When the first to third string-like members 20A-C are attached to the belt-like member 30, the large loops 22A-C, the medium loops 24A-C, and the small loops 26A-C are arranged so as to protrude outward from one side 30A of the belt-like member 30. The first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B, and the third string-like member 20C are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30, shifted by 2L, which is twice the loop length L. With the first to third string-like members 20A-C arranged in this manner, the connecting portions 28A-C of the first to third string-like members 20A-C located on the surface of the belt-like member 30 are joined to the belt-like member 30.

An example of a method for joining the connecting parts 28A-C to the belt-shaped member 30 is by sewing. However, this is not a limited method, and any other joining method can be used, including knitting, gluing, and welding. The connecting parts 28A-C, which are approximately linear and have a length approximately half the loop length L, are joined to the surface of the belt-shaped member 30, so the first to third string-shaped members 20A-C can be attached to the belt-shaped member 30 with high strength.

The wig edge member 2 thus formed is attached to the outer edge of the wig base and forms part of the outer edge of the wig base. In this case, the large loops 22A-C, the medium loops 24A-C, and the small loops 26A-C are arranged so that they protrude outward from the outer edge of the wig base. Then, artificial hair is planted on the first to third string-like members 20A-C and the band-like member 30, as well as on the surface of the wig base. The outer edge of the wig base is the area most likely to reveal the presence of the wig, but the wig edge member 2 can prevent the presence of the wig from being revealed as described below.

The wig edge member 2 is formed with large loops 22A-C that can be lifted high, small loops 26A-C that extend low, and medium loops 24A-C that are formed at an intermediate height, so the state of the artificial hair and the natural hair near the outer edge of the wig base can be easily adjusted. The artificial hair and natural hair can be made to stand up high using the large loops 22A-C, or kept low using the small loops 26A-C, and the intermediate range between high and low can be covered using the medium loops 24A-C. Therefore, compared to a waveform with one type of cycle, it is easier to adjust the amount of hair when planting and to add variety to the hairstyle.

As described above, in the wig edge member 2 according to this embodiment,
the first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B and the third string-like member 20C each have large loops 22A-C having the highest loop height, small loops 26A-C having the lowest loop height, and medium loops 24A-C having a loop height intermediate between the large loops 22A-C and the small loops 26A-C;
In the longitudinal direction of the first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B and the third string-like member 20C, a pattern in which the large loop 22, the medium loop 24, the small loop 26 and the medium loop 24 are arranged in this order is repeated,
The first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B and the third string-like member 20C extend along the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30, each shifted by twice the loop length L.

As a result, the large loops 22A-C, the medium loops 24A-C, and the small loops 26A-C are combined to form spaces of various shapes and sizes, and a certain pattern is regularly repeated. The large loops 22, the medium loops 24, and the small loops 26 of the first to third string-like members 20A-C extend in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30, changing between being positioned above the other loops and being positioned below the other loops.
By planting artificial hairs in the combinations of the large loops 22A-C, the medium loops 24A-C, and the small loops 26A-C that form such various spaces, it is possible to add variety to the hairstyle and obtain a natural appearance without giving a cluttered impression.

More specifically, as is clear from Figure 5, the large loops 22A-C are arranged at a loop length L apart in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-shaped member 30, and the position of the approximate apex Ph of the large loops 22A-C approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bmm of the two medium loops 24A-C.
For example, the position of the approximate vertex Ph(a) of the large loop 22A approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bmm(cb) of the two medium loops 24C, B. As a result, a space Ah surrounded by the lower surface side of the large loop 22A and the upper surface sides of the two medium loops 24C, B is disposed on the upper side, and below that, a space surrounded by the large loop 22A and the medium loop 24C and a space surrounded by the large loop 22A and the medium loop 24B are formed.

Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Ph(b) of the large loop 22B approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bmm(ac) of the two medium loops 24A, C. As a result, a space Ah surrounded by the lower surface side of the large loop 22B and the upper surface sides of the two medium loops 24A, C is disposed on the upper side, and below that, a space surrounded by the large loop 22B and the medium loop 24A and a space surrounded by the large loop 22B and the medium loop 24C are formed.
Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Ph (c) of the large loop 22C approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bmm (ba) of the two medium loops 24B, A. As a result, a space Ah surrounded by the lower surface side of the large loop 22C and the upper surface sides of the two medium loops 24B, A is disposed on the upper side, and below that, a space surrounded by the large loop 22C and the medium loop 24B and a space surrounded by the large loop 22C and the medium loop 24A are formed.

The medium loops 24A-C are disposed adjacent to each other, and the positions of the apexes pm of the medium loops 24A-C approximately coincide with the adjacent positions Bhl, lh of the large loops 22A-C and the small loops 26A-C.
For example, the position of the approximate apex Pm(b) of the medium loop 24B is approximately aligned with the adjacent position Bhl(ac) of the large loop 22A and the small loop 26C. As a result, a space Am surrounded by the lower surface side of the medium loop 24B and the upper surface sides of the large loop 22A and the small loop 26C is disposed on the upper side, and a space surrounded by the medium loop 24B and the small loop 26C is formed on the lower side.

Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Pm(a) of the medium loop 24A is approximately aligned with the adjacent position Blh(cb) of the small loop 26C and the large loop 22B. As a result, a space Am surrounded by the lower surface side of the medium loop 24A and the upper surface sides of the small loop 26C and the large loop 22B is disposed on the upper side, and a space surrounded by the medium loop 24A and the small loop 26C is formed on the lower side.
Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Pm (c) of the medium loop 24C is approximately aligned with the adjacent position Bhl (ba) of the large loop 22B and the small loop 26A. As a result, a space Am surrounded by the lower surface side of the medium loop 24C and the upper surface sides of the large loop 22B and the small loop 26A is disposed on the upper side, and a space surrounded by the medium loop 24C and the small loop 26A is formed on the lower side.

Further, the position of the apex Pl of each of the small loops 26A-C approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bmm of the two medium loops 24A-C.
For example, the position of the approximate apex Pl(c) of the small loop 26C is approximately coincident with the adjacent position Bmm(ba) of the two medium loops 24B, A. As a result, a space Al surrounded by the lower surface side of the small loop 26C and the upper surface sides of the two medium loops 24B, C is formed.

Similarly, the position of the approximate vertex Pl(a) of the small loop 26A is approximately coincident with the adjacent position Bmm(cb) of the two medium loops 24C, B. As a result, a space Al surrounded by the lower surface side of the small loop 26A and the upper surface sides of the two medium loops 24C, B is formed.
Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Pl(b) of the small loop 26B approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bmm(ac) of the two medium loops 24A, C. As a result, a space Al surrounded by the lower surface side of the small loop 26B and the upper surface sides of the two medium loops 24A, C is formed.

As described above, in the wig edge member 2 according to this embodiment,
The large loops 22A to 22C are spaced apart by a loop length L,
The position of the apex Ph of the large loop 22A-C is approximately coincident with the adjacent position Bmm of the two medium loops 24A-C,
The middle loops 24A-C are disposed adjacent to each other,
The position of the apex Pm of the medium loop 24A-C approximately coincides with the adjacent positions Bhl, lh of the large loop 22A-C and the small loop 26A-C,
The small loops 26A to 26C are arranged at a loop length L apart,
The position of the apex Pl of the small loops 26A to 26C is approximately aligned with the adjacent position Bmm of the two medium loops 24A to 24C.

This makes it possible to form, directly below the approximate vertices Ph, Pm, and Pl of the loops whose heights vary, a space Ah surrounded by the underside of the large loop 12 and the upper sides of the two medium loops 24, a space Am surrounded by the underside of the medium loop 24 and the upper sides of the large loop 22 and the small loop 26, and a space Al surrounded by the underside of the small loop 26 and the upper sides of the two medium loops 24. Furthermore, below the spaces Ah and Am, further spaces surrounded by string-like members can be formed.
By planting or threading artificial hairs in various spaces arranged in various positions, it is possible to give various variations to the hairstyle.

(Modification of the wig edge member according to the fourth embodiment)
Next, a modified example of the wig edge member according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a modified example of the wig edge member according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
The modified example differs from the first embodiment in that, in addition to the first string-shaped member 20A, the second string-shaped member 20B and the third string-shaped member 20C described above, further string-shaped members 20D, 20E and 20F different from the first string-shaped member 20A, the second string-shaped member 20B and the third string-shaped member 20C are provided.

More specifically, the further string-like member 20D forms a middle loop 24D along the middle loop 24A of the first string-like member 20A. That is, the middle loop is formed by two string-like members, the first string-like member 20A and the further string-like member 20D. Between each of the first string-like members 20A arranged at a distance twice the loop length L, the further string-like member 20D extends along the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 30 and is attached to the belt-like member 30 by sewing or the like.
Similarly, the further string-like member 20E forms a middle loop 24E so as to follow the middle loop 24B of the second string-like member 20B. That is, the middle loop is formed by two string-like members, the second string-like member 20B and the further string-like member 20E. Between each of the second string-like members 20B arranged at a distance twice the loop length L, the further string-like member 20E extends along the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 30 and is attached to the belt-like member 30 by sewing or the like.
Similarly, the further string-like member 20F forms a middle loop 24F so as to follow the middle loop 24C of the third string-like member 20C. That is, the middle loop is formed by two string-like members, the third string-like member 20C and the further string-like member 20F. Between each of the third string-like members 20C arranged at a distance twice the loop length L, the further string-like member 20F extends along the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 30 and is attached to the belt-like member 30 by sewing or the like.

In this modified example, three additional string-like members 20D-F are used, so that the distance that each of the string-like members 20D-F extends along the connecting portions 28A-C of the string-like members 20A-C becomes longer in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 30. Therefore, the additional string-like members 20D-F become entangled with the other string-like members 20A-C, making it difficult for the string-like members to come loose. However, this is not limited to this, and for example, a middle loop can be formed along the middle loops 24A-C of each of the string-like members 20A-C using one additional string-like member.
In this modified example, the middle loop 24 is formed by two string-like members, but the middle loop 24 may be formed by any number of string-like members, three or more.

As described above, in this modified example, further string-like members 20D-F different from the first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B, and the third string-like member 20C are provided, and the further string-like members 20D-F make the middle loop 24 composed of a plurality of string-like members.
In this way, since the middle loop 24 is formed of a plurality of monofilament or multifilament yarns, it is possible to implant artificial hairs in each yarn, thereby enabling further variegation of the hairstyle.
In addition to the medium loop 24, the large loop 22 and the small loop 26 may also be formed from a plurality of string-like members.

(Fifth embodiment of wig edge member)
Next, a wig edge member according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a first string-like member, a second string-like member, and a third string-like member attached to a belt-like member in a wig edge member according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a wig edge member in which the first string-like member, the second string-like member, and the third string-like member shown in Fig. 7 are attached to a belt-like member.

The wig edge member 2 in this embodiment also comprises three string-like members, a first string-like member 10A (see solid line), a second string-like member 10B (see dashed line) and a third string-like member 10C (see dotted line), as well as a belt-like member 30 to which the first to third string-like members 10A to 10C are attached.
The first string-like member 10A has large loops 12A and small loops 14A formed alternately in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) with a connecting portion 16A in between. Similarly, the second string-like member 10B has large loops 12B and small loops 14B formed alternately in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) with a connecting portion 16B in between. Similarly, the third string-like member 10C has large loops 12C and small loops 14C formed alternately in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) with a connecting portion 16C in between.
In other words, in the fifth embodiment, the first to third string-like members 10A to 10C are formed in such a way that a pattern in which large loops 12 and small loops 14 are arranged in that order is repeated in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction).

The connecting portions 16A-C of the first to third string-like members 10A-C extend in a substantially straight line. The connecting portions 16A-16C connecting the large loops 12A-C and the small loops 14A-C are positioned in a substantially straight line. In addition, the large loops 12A-C and the small loops 14A-C have curved shapes that are convex in the same direction relative to the connecting portions 16A-16C.

The first string-like member 10A, the second string-like member 10B and the third string-like member 10C having such shapes are each attached to the belt-like member 30 by sewing or the like, thereby forming the string-like member 2 for a wig.
To describe the shapes of the first to third string-like members 10A to 10C in more detail, the loop length L of the large loops 12A to 12C and the loop length L of the small loops 14A to 14C are formed to be the same in each of the first to third string-like members 10A to 10C.

In addition, the loop height Hh(a) of the large loop 12A of the first string-like member 10A, the loop height Hh(b) of the large loop 12B of the second string-like member 10B, and the loop height Hh(c) of the large loop 12C of the third string-like member 10C are formed to be the same. Similarly, the loop height Hl(a) of the small loop 14A of the first string-like member 10A, the loop height Hl(b) of the small loop 14B of the second string-like member 10B, and the loop height Hl(c) of the small loop 14C of the third string-like member 10C are also formed to be the same.
The loop heights Hh(a)-(c) of the large loops 12A-C are all higher than the loop heights Hl(a)-(c) of the small loops 14A-C.

However, the loop heights Hh(a)-(c) of the large loops 12A-C of the first to third string-like members 10A-C may not only be the same, but may also be different in at least some parts. Similarly, the loop heights Hl(a)-(c) of the small loops 14A-C of the first to third string-like members 10A-C may not only be the same, but may also be different in at least some parts.
In any case, however, the loop heights Hh(a)-(c) of the large loops 12A-C are always formed to be higher than the loop heights Hl(a)-(c) of the small loops 14A-C.

The individual connecting portions 16A-C of the first to third string-like members 10A-C, which extend in a substantially straight line, have a length of approximately 1/2 the loop length L. Therefore, in each of the first to third string-like members 10A-C, the large loops 12A-C of length L and the small loops 14A-C of length L are arranged alternately on either side of the connecting portions 16A-C of length approximately L/2.

When the first to third string-like members 10A to C are attached to the belt-like member 30, the large loops 12A to C and the small loops 14A to C are arranged so as to protrude outward from one side 30A of the belt-like member 30. The first string-like member 10A, the second string-like member 10B and the third string-like member 10C are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30, shifted by the loop length L. With the first to third string-like members 10A to C arranged in this manner, the connecting portions 16A to C of the first to third string-like members 10A to C located on the surface portion of the belt-like member 30 are joined to the belt-like member 30.
Since the substantially linear joints 16A-C having a length of approximately L/2 are joined to the surface of the belt-shaped member 30, the first to third string-shaped members 10A-C can be attached to the belt-shaped member 30 with great strength.

The wig edge member 2 thus formed is attached to the outer edge of the wig base and forms part of the outer edge of the wig base. In this case, the large loops 12A-C and the small loops 14A-C are positioned so that they protrude outward from the outer edge of the wig base. Then, artificial hair is planted on the first to third string-like members 10A-C and the band-like member 30, as well as on the surface of the wig base. The outer edge of the wig base is the area most likely to reveal the presence of the wig, but the wig edge member 2 can prevent the presence of the wig from being revealed as described below.

The wig edge member 2 is formed with large loops 12A-C that can be lifted high and small loops 14A-C that extend low, so the standing state of the artificial hair and the natural hair near the outer edge of the wig base can be easily adjusted. The artificial hair and natural hair can be made to stand up high using the large loops 12A-C, or kept low using the small loops 14A-C. Therefore, compared to when there is a single type of waveform cycle, it is easier to adjust the amount of hair when planting, and it is possible to add variety to the hairstyle.

In particular, the first to third string-like members 10A-C, in which the large loops 12A-C and small loops 14A-C are alternately arranged at half the loop length L, are arranged in sequence offset by the loop length L, so that spaces of various shapes are formed by various combinations of the large loops 12A-C and small loops 14A-C. By utilizing such spaces, it is possible to add various changes to the hairstyle and obtain a natural appearance.

The first to third string-like members 10A to 10C having large and small loops as described above are arranged with a shift in sequence by the loop length L, so that the belt-like member 30 has the following loop arrangement.
The large loops 12A, 12B, and 12C of the first string-like member 10A, the second string-like member 10B, and the third string-like member 10C are arranged adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30. Similarly, the small loops 14A, 14B, and 14C of the first string-like member 10A, the second string-like member 10B, and the third string-like member 10C are arranged adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30. Furthermore, the group of adjacent small loops 14A to 14C is attached in a state where it is shifted by approximately 1/2 of the loop length L from the group of adjacent loops 12A to C in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30.

In other words, in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction), a group of wave-shaped structures in which large loops 12A-C are arranged in a regular sequence, and a group of wave-shaped structures in which small loops 14A-C are arranged in a regular sequence are shifted by half the loop length L, which corresponds to half the wave pitch.
As a result, the large loops 12A-C and the small loops 14A-C are combined to form spaces of various shapes and sizes, and a certain pattern is regularly repeated. By planting artificial hair into the combinations of the large loops 12A-C and the small loops 14A-C that form such various spaces, it is possible to add variety to the hairstyle and obtain a natural appearance without giving a cluttered impression.

More specifically, in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-shaped member 30, the position of the approximate apex Ph(a) of the large loop 12A approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bl(bc) of the two small loops 14B and 14C. Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Ph(b) of the large loop 12B approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bl(ca) of the two small loops 14C and 14A. Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Ph(c) of the large loop 12C approximately coincides with the adjacent position Bl(ab) of the two small loops 14A and 14B.

Furthermore, the position of the approximate apex Pl(a) of the small loop 14A will approximately coincide with the adjacent position Bh(bc) of the two large loops 12B and 12C. Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Pl(b) of the small loop 14B will approximately coincide with the adjacent position Bh(ca) of the two large loops 12C and 12A. Similarly, the position of the approximate apex Pl(c) of the small loop 14C will approximately coincide with the adjacent position Bh(ab) of the two large loops 12A and 12B.

As described above, in the wig edge member 2 according to this embodiment,
In the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped member 30,
The large loops 12A to 12C are arranged adjacent to each other,
The positions of the vertices Ph (a to c) of the large loops 12A to 12C are approximately aligned with the adjacent positions B1 of the two small loops 14A to 14C,
The positions of the vertices Pl (a to c) of the small loops 14A to 14C substantially coincide with the adjacent positions Bh of the two large loops 12A to 12C.

As a result, in the wig edge member 2, areas where small loops 14 are arranged below large loops 12 and areas where large loops 12 are arranged below small loops 14 are arranged alternately. In other words, the large loops 12 and small loops 14 of the first to third string-like members 10A to C extend in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the belt-like member 30 so that they are alternately positioned above other loops and below other loops. This makes it easy to adjust the amount of hair and to easily vary the hairstyle.

In particular, it is possible to form not only a space Ah surrounded by the lower side of the large loop 12 and the upper side of the small loop 14, but also a space Al surrounded by the lower side of the small loop 14 and the upper side of the large loop 12. Although the space Al is located at a relatively low position, no other loops exist above it. By planting artificial hair in the small loops 14 and large loops 12 that define this space Al, or by passing artificial hair through the space Al, it is possible to add various variations to the hairstyle.

(Modification of the wig edge member according to the fifth embodiment)
Next, modified examples of the wig edge member according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 9 to Fig. 12. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a first modified example of the wig edge member according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a second modified example, Fig. 11 is a diagram showing a third modified example, and Fig. 12 is a diagram showing a fourth modified example.

<Modification 1>
The first modified example of the wig edge member 2 shown in Fig. 9 is different from the fifth embodiment in that one of the three string-like members 10A to 10C, 10A, is made of two monofilament or multifilament yarns. Here, the first string-like member 10A is made of two yarns, but this is not limiting, and the other string-like members 10B and 10C may also be made of two yarns.

<Modification 2>
The second modification of the wig edge member 2 shown in Fig. 10 is different from the fifth embodiment in that, among the three string-like members 10A to 10C, two string-like members 10A and 10B are made of two monofilament or multifilament yarns. Here, the first string-like member 10A and the second string-like member 10B are made of two yarns, but this is not limiting, and other string-like members may be made of two yarns.

<Modification 3>
The third variant of the wig edge member 2 shown in FIG. 11 differs from the fourth embodiment described above in that all three string-like members 10A to 10C are formed from two monofilament or multifilament yarns.

Here, the case where the string-like member 10 is formed of two monofilament yarns or multifilament yarns is shown, but it may be formed of three or more monofilament yarns or multifilament yarns. In this way, when at least a part of the first string-like member 10A, the second string-like member 10B, and the third string-like member 10C is formed of a plurality of monofilament yarns or multifilament yarns, artificial hair can be planted on each yarn, so that further various variations can be added to the hairstyle.
In addition, when the string-like member 10 is formed of a plurality of threads, the length of each thread is approximately the same, and each thread can move freely, so that one thread is not always located inside or outside the other thread. By attaching artificial hair to each thread that can move freely, it is possible to add more variety to the hairstyle.

<Modification 4>
In modified example 4 of the wig edge member 2 shown in FIG. 12, among the large loops 12A, 12B and 12C of the first string-like member 10A, the second string-like member 10B and the third string-like member 10C, the loop height Hh(b) of the large loop 12B of the second string-like member 10B is lower than the loop heights Hh(a)(c) of the large loops 12A and 12C of the other string-like members 10A and 10C.

As a result, the wig edge member 2 has loops of three different heights, resulting in a more varied combination of loops. Note that, although the loop height Hh(b) of the large loop 12B of the second string-like member 10B is shown here as being lower than the others, this is not limiting. The loop height Hh of the large loops 12A, 12B, and 12C can be adjusted in any other manner. For example, the loop heights Hh of all the large loops 12A to C can be formed to be different.

As described above, when the loop heights Hh of at least some of the large loops 12A, B, and C of the first string-like member 10A, the second string-like member 10B, and the third string-like member 10C are different, loops of various different heights can be combined, allowing for even more variety in the hairstyle.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 12, the second string-like member 10B is formed from two monofilament yarns or multifilament yarns, but this is not limited to this, and the number of yarns can be appropriately adopted from the above embodiments.
Furthermore, not only the large loops 12A to 12C but also at least a part of the small loops 14A to 14C may be formed so as to have different loop heights Hl.

(General Description)
In the wig edge member 2 according to the first embodiment,
A first string-like member 20A and a second string-like member 20B in which a plurality of loops are formed along the longitudinal direction with connecting portions 28A and 28B in between;
a belt-shaped member 30 to which a first string-shaped member 20A and a second string-shaped member 20B are attached;
Equipped with
In the longitudinal direction of the first string-like member 20A, a large loop 22A having the highest loop height, a small loop 26A having the lowest loop height, and a medium loop 24A having a loop height intermediate between the large loop 22A and the small loop 26A are arranged.
In the longitudinal direction of the second string-like member 20B, at least a large loop 22B and a medium loop 24B having a loop height intermediate between the large loops 22A, 22B and the small loop 26A are arranged.
The large loops 22A and 22B cross the small loops 26A (26B) or the medium loops 24B (24A),
The connecting portions 28A and 28B extend substantially linearly,
The connecting portion 30 is joined to the belt-shaped member 30 with the first string-shaped member 20A and the second string-shaped member 20B extending along the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped member 30 and the loops 22A to 26A, 22B to 24B arranged to protrude from one side edge of the belt-shaped member 30.

This allows for a natural appearance, allows for adjustment of the amount of hair, and allows for variation in hairstyle, while also providing strength. In other words, by distributing large, medium, and small loops among multiple string-like members 20A, 20B, it is possible to arrange the connecting parts in a single string-like member 20A (20B) in a well-balanced manner, thereby increasing the strength when pulled.

In the wig edge member 2 according to the fourth embodiment, the first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B, and the third string-like member 20C are arranged to extend outwardly by two times the loop length. In the wig edge member 2 according to the second embodiment, the first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B, and the third string-like member 20C are arranged to extend outwardly by the loop length L, that is, one time the loop length L. However, this is not limited to this, and the first string-like member 20A, the second string-like member 20B, and the third string-like member 20C may be arranged to extend outwardly by an integer multiple of three or more times the loop length L.

Therefore, the wig edge member 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention is
A first string-like member 20(10)A, a second string-like member 20(10)B, and a third string-like member 20(10)C, each having a substantially identical shape and including a plurality of loops formed along the longitudinal direction with connecting portions 28(16)A to 28(16)C in between,
a belt-shaped member 30 to which a first string-shaped member 20(10)A, a second string-shaped member 20(10)B, and a third string-shaped member 20(10)C are attached;
Equipped with
In the longitudinal direction of the first string-like member 20 (10) A, the second string-like member 20 (10) B, and the third string-like member 20 (10) C, a pattern in which a plurality of loops 22, 24, 26 (12, 14) having different loop heights are arranged in a predetermined order is repeated in at least a portion of the first string-like member 20 (10) A, the second string-like member 20 (10) B, and the third string-like member 20 (10) C.
The loop lengths L of the loops 22, 24, and 26 (12, 14) are formed to be substantially the same,
The connecting portions 28(16)A-C extend substantially linearly and have a length that is approximately half the loop length L.
The first string-like member 20 (10) A, the second string-like member 20 (10) B, and the third string-like member 20 (10) C extend along the longitudinal direction of the belt-like member 30, each shifted by an integer multiple of the loop length L, and the loops 22, 24, 26 (12, 14) are arranged to protrude from one side edge 30A of the belt-like member 30, and connecting portions 28 (16) A-C are joined to the belt-like member 30.

As a result, the loops 22, 24, 26 (12, 14) have different loop heights, the loop lengths L of the loops are approximately the same, the connecting portions 28 (16) A-C have a length that is approximately 1/2 the loop length L, and the first to third string-like members 20 (10) A-C extend in the longitudinal direction offset by an integer multiple of the loop length L, so that the apex position of the loop of a given string-like member is located adjacent to the loop of another string-like member. This allows the formation of spaces of various shapes by variously combining loops with different loop heights.

By utilizing this space, it is possible to add various variations to the hairstyle while achieving a natural appearance. As described above, the present invention can provide a wig edge member 2 that has a natural appearance, allows adjustment of the amount of hair, and allows for variations in the hairstyle.

(Wig with wig edge member attached)
Next, a wig having a wig edge member attached to its outer edge will be described with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a wig having a wig edge member attached to its outer edge.
In the example shown in FIG. 13, a curved wig edge member 2 is attached to the front edge of a wig base 40, and artificial hairs 50 are planted on the wig base 40 and the wig edge member 2 to form a wig 60.

The wig 60 equipped with such a wig edge member 2 can achieve the same effect as described above. In other words, it is possible to provide a wig that has a natural appearance, allows adjustment of the amount of hair, and allows for variation in hairstyle.
