CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2005-0095384, filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Oct. 11, 2005, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to headwear. More particularly, the present invention relates to headwear having enhanced wearing comfort and benefit to a wearer's health.

[0004] (b) Description of the Related Art

[0005] Typically, a headwear (including a cap, a hat, and a visor) includes a head-covering portion for being worn on a head and a visor portion formed entirely or partially at an interior circumference of a bottom side of the head-covering portion.

[0006] Such headwear may include a sweatband combined thereto at its lower interior. The sweatband absorbs sweat falling from a forehead of the wearer, such that the headwear may maintain its comfort.

[0007] However, in an exemplary case that the wearer exercises for a long time, the sweatband may produce an unpleasant smell and may become unhealthy for the wearer.

[0008] The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The present invention has been made in an effort to provide headwear having advantages of enhanced wearing comfort and enhanced sanitariness for the wearer against sweat.

[0010] An exemplary headwear according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a head-covering portion for being worn on a head of a wearer, a visor portion combined to the head-covering portion, and a sweatband combined to the head-covering portion at its interior side, wherein the sweatband includes a cushion member having elasticity and a negative ion emitting member combined to the cushion member and emitting negative ions.

[0011] The cushion member and the negative ion emitting member may be covered by a protective cover.

[0012] A fabric piece may be combined to an exterior surface of the protective cover.

[0013] The protective cover may be adhered to the cushion member and the negative ion emitting member by high frequency heating.

[0014] At least one line of an adhesion portion may be formed in the length direction to adhere the cushion member, the negative ion emitting member, and the protective cover.

[0015] In addition, an exemplary headwear according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a head-covering portion for being worn on a head of a wearer, a visor portion combined to the head-covering portion, and a sweatband combined to the head-covering portion at its interior side, wherein the sweatband includes a cushion member having elasticity and being mixed with a negative ion emitting material emitting negative ions.

[0016] In addition, an exemplary headwear according to a further embodiment of the present invention includes a head-covering portion for being worn on a head of a wearer, a visor portion combined to the head-covering portion, and a sweatband combined to the head-covering portion at its interior side, wherein the sweatband includes a cushion member having elasticity, a negative ion emitting member combined to the cushion member and emitting negative ions, and a protective cover combined to an interior surface of the head-covering portion and providing a space to enclose the cushion member and the negative ion emitting member.

[0017] In addition, an exemplary headwear according to yet another embodiment of the present invention includes a head-covering portion for being worn on a head of a wearer, a visor portion combined to the head-covering portion, a sweatband combined to the head-covering portion at its interior side, and a protective cover combined to an interior surface of the head-covering portion and providing a space to enclose the cushion member, wherein the sweatband includes a cushion member having elasticity and being mixed with a negative ion emitting material emitting negative ions.

[0018] The protective cover may be formed of a synthetic resin film, a knitted fabric coated with synthetic resin, a textile fabric coated with synthetic resin, or a non-woven fabric coated with synthetic resin.

[0019] The head-covering portion may be combined, at its interior surface, with another cushion member having elasticity and another negative ion emitting member combined to the cushion member and emitting negative ions.

[0020] Alternatively, the head-covering portion may be combined, at its interior surface, with another cushion member having elasticity and being mixed with a negative ion emitting material emitting negative ions.

[0021] In addition, an exemplary headwear according to a yet further embodiment of the present invention includes a head-covering portion for being worn on a head of a wearer, and a visor portion combined to the head-covering portion, wherein the head-covering portion includes a cushion member having elasticity, and a negative ion emitting member combined to the cushion member and emitting negative ions.
