BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a wig case for storing or carrying a wig. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Generally, wig cases comprising soft synthetic resin or paper cardboard have been used to store or carry wigs. However, the conventional wig cases have a problem in that wigs may be frequently compressed or deformed during storage or transport. Thus, the hairstyle of the wig is disordered so that great expense and effort is required to restore curls of the wig to original shapes thereof. [0005] In order to solve the problem, a wig support for packing a wig is disclosed in Korean U.M. Registration No. 20-0297683 which was published on Dec. 12, 2002. [0006] The conventional wig support includes a wig support unit. The length of the wig support unit is determined such that both ends of the wig support unit are in contact with an inner surface of a packing container, thus preventing a wig from undesirably moving in the packing container. [0007] However, the conventional wig support is problematic in that the packing container itself is flat, so that it cannot prevent the wig from being compressed. Further, when the length of the wig support unit is equal to the width of the packing container, it is difficult to put the wig support in the packing container. Conversely, when the length of the wig support unit is slightly shorter than the width of the packing container, the wig support is not in contact with the inner surface of the packing container. Thus, the wig may undesirably move in the packing case during the transport. [0008] Further, the conventional wig support has another problem in that the wig support is thin, so that it is difficult to maintain the volume of the wig, and thereby the hairstyle of the wig is inevitably disordered. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wig case for storing or carrying a wig, which is constructed so that the wig is fixed to a predetermined position in a main body while being supported by a wig support unit, thus preventing the wig from being compressed or deformed, or preventing curls of the wig from being disordered during storage or transport, therefore allowing a user to immediately wear the wig without additional care. [0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a wig case, capable of maintaining the original volume of a wig. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0011] The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: [0012] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a wig case, according to the present invention, when a wig support unit is separated from a main body of the wig case; [0013] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the wig support unit, according to the present invention; [0014] FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line I-I of FIG. 2; [0015] FIG. 4 is a plan view of the wig case, according to the present invention, when a wig is stored in the wig case; and [0016] FIG. 5 is a front view to show the state where locking protrusions of the wig support unit are fitted into locking recesses of the main body. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0017] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. [0018] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a wig case including a wig support unit 10 and a main body 20, according to the present invention, when the wig support unit 10 is separated from the main body 20. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the wig support unit 10 shown in FIG. 1. The wig support unit 10 includes a C-shaped elastic band 11, and an upper portion 11a of the C-shaped elastic band 11 is reinforced by reinforcing ribs 11b. Long locking protrusions 12 and 12' protrude from a side of the elastic band 11, and short locking protrusions 13 and 13' protrude from opposite ends of the elastic band 11. Further, an inner reinforcing rim 14 is provided along an inner surface of the C-shaped elastic band 11. U-shaped elastic bands 15 and 15', each having a tapered shape such that an open end thereof is wider than a closed end thereof, are provided at positions adjacent to the long locking protrusions 12 and 12'. The U-shaped elastic bands 15 and 15' are fitted into corresponding slits 15a and 15a' that are cut in the inner reinforcing rim 14. [0019] The U-shaped elastic bands 15 and 15' may be integrated with the C-shaped elastic band 11 into a single structure. [0020] Further, a lug 16 is provided on top of the upper portion 11a, with saw teeth 17 provided on a surface of the lug 16. Continue reading...
