Abstract

The present invention relates to a sweat absorber and headwear using the sweat absorber. The sweat absorber is formed by a porous panel including a first layer that is knitted in a warp direction to have a plurality of first porous structures, a second layer that is knitted in a warp direction to have a plurality of second porous structures, and a plurality of connecting yarns for connecting the first layer and the second layer. The porous panel may be a double raschel fabric panel. The sweat absorber may semi-permanently maintain a shape of a crown portion of a headwear and may be prevented from being contaminated from sweat. In addition, a contaminated part may be replaced.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Headwear comprising:
 a crown portion for being worn on a head of a wearer;   a visor portion combined to the crown portion; and   a sweat absorber combined to a lower part of an inner surface of the crown portion,   wherein the sweat absorber is formed by a porous panel including a first layer that is knitted in a warp direction to have a plurality of first porous structures, a second layer that is knitted in a warp direction to have a plurality of second porous structures, and a plurality of connecting yarns for connecting the first layer and the second layer.   
   
   
       2 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the porous panel is a double raschel fabric panel. 
   
   
       3 . The headwear of  claim 2 , wherein a monofilament yarn in which polyester is used as the connecting yarn in the double raschel fabric panel. 
   
   
       4 . The headwear of  claim 2 , wherein the porous panel of the sweat absorber comprises a covering portion for efficiently absorbing sweat. 
   
   
       5 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the covering portion is formed one of cotton, polyester, nylon, wool, and acryl, or texture formed by a combination of 70 to 98% thereof and polyurethane at 2% to 30%. 
   
   
       6 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the connecting yarn is integrally knitted with the first and second layers, and elasticity of the porous panel is determined according to a width and a length of the connecting yarn weaved or knitted. 
   
   
       7 . The headwear of  claim 1 , wherein the connecting yarn includes a first connecting yarn connected to the first layer and a second connecting yarn connected to the second layer. 
   
   
       8 . The headwear of  claim 7 , wherein tension of a part of the first connecting yarn or the second connecting yarn that touches a forehead is formed to be greater. 
   
   
       9 . The headwear of  claim 7 , wherein the first connecting yarn and the second connecting yarn comprise male and female members so that at least one of the first and second layers may be replaced. 
   
   
       10 . The headwear of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one protrusion portion that is protruded from the first layer to the second layer or from the second layer to the first layer, and that has a width and tension that are greater than the connecting yarn. 
   
   
       11 . A sweat absorber formed by a porous panel including a first layer that is knitted in a warp direction to have a plurality of first porous structures, a second layer that is knitted in a warp direction to have a plurality of second porous structures, and a plurality of connecting yarns for connecting the first layer and the second layer. 
   
   
       12 . The sweat absorber of  claim 11 , wherein the porous panel is a double raschel fabric panel. 
   
   
       13 . The sweat absorber of  claim 11 , further comprising a covering portion formed of one of cotton, polyester, nylon, wool, and acryl, or texture formed by a combination of 70 to 98% thereof and polyurethane at 2% to 30%. 
   
   
       14 . The sweat absorber of  claim 11 , wherein a first porous structure of the first layer is larger than a second porous structure of the second layer, the first porous structures of the first layer are sequentially connected, and the second porous structures of the second layer are non-sequentially connected. 
   
   
       15 . The sweat absorber of  claim 11 , wherein the connecting yarn is integrally knitted with the first and second layers, and elasticity of the porous panel is determined according to a width and a length of the connecting yarn weaved or knitted. 
   
   
       16 . The sweat absorber of  claim 11 , wherein the connecting yarn includes a first connecting yarn connected to the first layer and a second connecting yarn connected to the second layer. 
   
   
       17 . The sweat absorber of  claim 11 , wherein tension of a part of the first connecting yarn or the second connecting yarn that touches a forehead is formed to be greater. 
   
   
       18 . The sweat absorber of  claim 16 , wherein the first connecting yarn and the second connecting yarn comprise male and female members so that at least one of the first and second layers may be replaced. 
   
   
       19 . The sweat absorber of  claim 11 , further comprising at least one protrusion portion that is protruded from the first layer to the second layer or from the second layer to the first layer, and that has a width and tension that are greater than the connecting yarn.
