Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a hair knotting method using a skin net and a wig manufactured thereby, and more particularly to a hair knotting method using a skin net (hereinafter, referred to as a “New French Part (NFP) hair knotting method”), in which the skin net having a texture similar to the skin is laid on the upper surface of a net and hairs are knotted onto the net and are then pulled out of the upper surface of the skin net, so that knots of the hairs are not exposed to the outside of the skin net and a portion of the skin net having hair roots forms a plane having a texture similar to the skin to form the natural external appearance of the knotted hairs, and a wig manufactured thereby.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Generally, wigs are manufactured by a finished net obtained by knotting hairs onto a net having a small thickness, and are worn by a user onto a portion without hairs or the overall portions of his/her head, thereby serving to improve the hair style of the user.
- In a conventional hair knotting method for producing a finished net used to manufacture the above wigs, as shown in
FIGS. 1A to 1C,hairs 3 are knotted onto anet 1 with aknotting needle 5, thereby producing the finished net, onto which thehairs 3 are knotted. - With reference to
FIG. 1A , under the condition that a worker holds a designated amount ofhairs 3 using the thumb and the forefinger of his/her one hand h1, asingle hair 3 a to be knotted is picked up using theneedle 5 and is fixed to thenet 1. Preferably, the length of portions of thehairs 3 positioned on the portions of thehairs 3, held by the thumb and the forefinger of the worker, is approximately one third of the overall length of thehairs 3, and the length of portions of the hairs positioned under the portions of thehairs 3, held by the thumb and the forefinger of the worker, is approximately two-thirds of the overall length of thehairs 3. -
FIG. 1C illustrates the enlarged state of the knot of thehair 3 a onto thenet 1. - Conventional methods for knotting the
single hair 3 a onto a thread 7 of thenet 1 are divided into six methods according to shapes of thehair 3 a fixed to thenet 1. -
FIGS. 2A to 2F illustrate the above six methods, and more particularly, sequentially illustrate a single knotting method, a half single knotting method, a half double knotting method, a double knotting method, a half single knotting and single knotting method, and a V knotting method. - Hereinafter, the above conventional knotting methods will be described in brief.
- In the single knotting method, as shown in
FIG. 2A , two strands of divided portions of thehair 3 a are picked up by a hook of theneedle 5, are rotated 360 degrees, and are then pulled to pass through a portion of thehair 3 a caught by the hook of theneedle 5, thereby fixing thehair 3 a to thenet 1. - In the half single knotting method, as shown in
FIG. 2B , only one strand of the divided portions of thehair 3 a, close to the needle 5 (having a small length), is picked up by the hook of theneedle 5, is rotated 360 degrees, and is then pulled to pass through the portion of thehair 3 a caught by the hook of theneedle 5, thereby fixing thehair 3 a to thenet 1. - In the half double knotting method, as shown in
FIG. 2C , one strand of the divided portions of thehair 3 a, distant from the needle 5 (having a large length), is picked up by the hook of theneedle 5, is rotated 360 degrees, and is then pulled to pass through the central portion of thehair 3 a, and the other strand is picked up by the hook of theneedle 5, is rotated 360 degrees, and is then pulled to pass through the portion of thehair 3 a caught by the hook of theneedle 5, thereby fixing thehair 3 a to thenet 1. - In the double knotting method, as shown in
FIG. 2D , two strands of the divided portions of thehair 3 a are simultaneously picked up by the hook of theneedle 5, are rotated 360 degrees, are pulled to pass through the portion of thehair 3 a caught by the hook of theneedle 5, and the two strands are picked up again by the hook of theneedle 5 and are then pulled to pass through the central portion of thehair 3 a, thereby fixing thehair 3 a to thenet 1. - In the half single knotting and single knotting method, as shown in
FIG. 2E , after a process the same as the half single knotting method is performed, two strands of the divided portions of thehair 3 a are simultaneously picked up by the hook of theneedle 5, are rotated 360 degrees, are pulled to pass through the portion of thehair 3 a caught by the hook of theneedle 5, thereby fixing thehair 3 a to thenet 1. - In the V knotting method, as shown in
FIG. 2F , thehair 3 a passes through without knotting when theneedle 5 is pulled out of thenet 1, thereby fixing thehair 3 a to thenet 1. - When the
hair 3 a is fixed to thenet 1 using the above described conventional knotting methods, the worker must firmly fasten thehair 3 a so as not to be separated from thenet 1, and be careful not to damage thehair 3 a and thenet 1 by means of thesharp needle 5. - Hereinafter, a conventional process for manufacturing a wig using the above methods for knotting the
hair 3 a onto thenet 1 will be described. - The conventional process comprises poly urethane (PU)-forming, basing, cutting, sewing machine (M/C) operating, hand joining (H/J), cap coating, EPC setting, re-molding, cap testing, ventilating, final coating, final testing, and packing. The hair knotting method is performed in the ventilating step after the cap testing step. That is, in the ventilating step, one strand or two strands of hairs are knotted by hand directly onto the upper portion of a cap, which have passed the cap testing step. Here, one selected from the above six knotting methods is applied.
- For reference, the above steps of the conventional process will be described in brief, as follows.
- In the PU-forming step, which is the first step of the manufacture of the cap, the size and contour of a pattern is marked on a mold. Here, the size, shape and contour of the cap are fitted with those of the pattern of a user.
- In the basing step, the shape of a net is formed based on the user's pattern so that the mold firmly contacts the cap. In the cutting step, unnecessary portions of a patch and a skin are cut off. In the sewing M/C operating step, connecting portions, such as patch portions, are sewn.
- In the H/J step, overlapped portions between nets are not joined using PU, but are wound with a thread. In the cap coating step, joined portions between the PU-skin and the PU-patch are coated with PU three to five times so that PU is not separated from the net in the subsequent step so as to prevent the generation of rough sewing portions. In the EPI setting step, the net is treated with a designed material, such as EPI, so as not to separate any net texture from the net. Here, the treated net is stiff, thereby maintaining its fixed state.
- In the re-molding step, the cap is stretched and fixed to the mold such that the cap has a size corresponding to the contour size, and heated so as to maintain its shape. In the cap testing step, the size and contour of the cap and whether or not the net is broken are tested.
-
FIGS. 3A and 3B are enlarged views of knot portions between thehairs 3 a and thenet 1, in a state in which thehairs 3 a are knotted to thenet 1 by the above conventional knotting methods. - As shown in
FIGS. 3A and 3B ,knots 3 b are formed on the upper surface of thenet 1, to which thehairs 3 a are fixed, and are exposed to the outside, thereby spoiling the external appearance of the wig. Further, the upper surface of thenet 1 contacting the lower portions of thehairs 3 a is rough, and, as shown inFIG. 3 a, thehairs 3 a are laid in the horizontal direction, thereby further spoiling the external appearance of the wig. - Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hair knotting method using a skin net, in which the skin net is laid on the upper surface of a net and hairs knotted onto the net are pulled out of the upper surface of the skin net, so that knots of the hairs fixed to the net are not exposed to the outside and the hairs on the skin net are naturally protruded in the erected state from the skin of the user's head to improve the external appearance of the knotted hairs, and a wig manufactured thereby.
