Abstract

Objects of the present invention is to provide a wig capable of surely and easily being attached only by lightly pressing a wig, which is put on a head of a wearer, from above; to enhance fitness; and to cause no pain in the attaching or detaching operation or while long-time use. A plurality of monofilaments 22 , which get entangled and hooked with natural hair of the wearer, are provided in the form of projection on a first side of a base sheet 21 , and an adhesive layer 23 for bonding to the inside of the wig base is applied on a second side of the base sheet 21 . Each of the monofilaments 22 is composed of a stalk 22 a extending from the base sheet 21 and a big head 22 b on the top of the stalk 22 a . In attaching the wig to the head of the wearer, the monofilaments 22 are deflected by an external pressing force so as to get entangled and hooked with each other, and the natural hair of the wearer gets entangled with the stalk 22 a or the head 22 b of the monofilaments 22 , whereby this state of the entanglement is kept to fix the wig onto the head.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus for wearing a wig including a wig base on a head of a wearer, comprising:
 a base sheet;   a plurality of monofilaments in the form of projection disposed on a first side of the base sheet, each having a stalk extending from the base sheet and a big head on the top of the stalk; and   an adhesive layer applied on a second side of the base sheet for bonding to the inside of the wig base,   whereby the plurality of monofilaments get entangled and hooked with natural hair of the wearer in wearing the wig and this state of entanglement is kept by hooking force.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a film applied on the surface of the plurality of monofilaments, the film having a larger coefficient of friction as compared with a material of the plurality of monofilaments. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a peeling force in detaching the plurality of monofilaments from natural hair of the wearer is in the range of not less than 0.29 N (30 gf) to not more than 0.98 N (100 gf). 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a deflecting force of the plurality of monofilaments in the vicinity of the top of the stalk is smaller than the deflecting force in the vicinity of the bottom thereof, and the deflecting force of the plurality of monofilaments is in the range of not less than 1.91 N (195 gf) to not more than 6.08 N (620 gf) in the vicinity of the top of the stalk and in the range of not less than 3.73 N (380 gf) to not more than 8.14 N (830 gf) in the vicinity of the bottom of the stalk. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the disposal density of the plurality of monofilaments is in the range of not less than 50 pieces/cm 2  to not more than 120 pieces/cm 2 . 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a height of the stalk is in the range of not less than 3 mm to not more than 6 mm. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the stalk is in the range of not less than 0.1 mm to not more than 0.5 mm. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the big head is in the range of not less than 0.2 mm to not more than 1 mm.
