Abstract

By undergoing a first step for passing a hook portion 1 a of a hair-implanting needle 1 from the surface 2 a to the back 2 b of a wig base 2 and passing the hook portion back onto the surface at another position, a second step for catching a loop 3 b formed at the turning position of hair 3 folded, a third step for pulling the loop 3 b out of the wig base 2 in a state wherein the hair is caught by the hair-implanting needle 1, a fourth step for catching one side 3 a of the hair with the hook portion 1 a , a fifth step for pulling the hair-implanting needle out of the loop 3 b in this state, a sixth step for forming a knot by pulling one side 3 a of the hair while holding the other side 3 b , and a seventh step for moving the knot 3 e to the back 2 b of the wig base by pulling the other side 3 b of the hair while holding the one side 3 a of the hair, a wig wherein the knot 3 e of the hair 3 is on the back 2 b of the wig base is produced.

1 . A wig, comprising: a wig base; and hair implanted to the wig base, characterized in that the knot of the hair is on the back of the wig base.

2 . The wig according to claim 1 , characterized in that a bridging portion linked to the knot of the hair is on the surface of the wig base.

3 . The wig according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least a part of the wig base is an artificial skin base made of a synthetic resin, and that the knot of the hair is transferred through a pinhole made on the artificial skin base onto the back face of the artificial skin base.

4 . The wig according to claim 3 , characterized in that the hair is retained upright because the pinholes made on the artificial skin base closes while retaining the hair.

5 . The wig according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least a part of the wig base is a net base made of a net member, that the hair is fastened to a filament constituting the net base by being wrapped around the filament, and that the knot is on the back face of the net base.

6 . The wig according to claim 5 , characterized in that the mesh size of the net base is smaller than the size of the knot.

7 . A method for manufacturing a wig, comprising: tying hair to a wig base; and transferring the knot to the back of the wig base while settling a bridging portion linked to the knot on the surface of the wig base by pulling one end of the hair.

8 . A method for manufacturing a wig by tying hair to a wig base, comprising: a first step for passing a hook portion of a hair-implanting needle from the surface to the back of the wig base and passing the hook portion back onto the surface at another position; a second step for folding the hair and catching the loop formed at the turning position of the hair by the hook portion; a third step for pulling the hair-implanting needle, with the loop of the hair kept caught by the hook portion, back onto the surface of the wig base; a fourth step for catching one side of the hair with the hook portion; a fifth step for pulling the hair-implanting needle out of the loop with the one side of the hair caught by the hook portion; a sixth step for forming a knot by holding one side of the hair while pulling the other side; and a seventh step for moving the knot to the back of the wig base by pulling the other side of the hair while holding the one side of the hair.

9 . The method for manufacturing the wig according to claim 8 , characterized in that the hair-implanting needle is rotated on the axis of the longitudinal direction of the hair-implanting needle in the second or third step, the loop being caught by the hair-implanting needle.

10 . The method for manufacturing the wig according to claim 8 , characterized in that the bridging part linked to the knot of the hair is positioned on the surface of the wig base and fastened.

11 . The method of manufacturing the wig according to claim 7 or claim 8 , characterized in that at least a part of the skin base is an artificial skin base made of a synthetic resin, and that the knot of the hair is passed through a pinhole made on the artificial skin base and settled on the back face of the artificial skin base.

12 . The method for manufacturing the wig according to claim 11 , characterized in that the pinhole made on the artificial base closes, catching the hair, to retain the hair upright.

13 . The method for manufacturing the wig according claim 7 or claim 8 , characterized in that a part of the wig base is a net base made of a net member, that the hair is fastened to a filament constituting the net base by being wrapped around the filament, and that the knot is positioned on the back of the net base.

14 . The method for manufacturing the wig according to claim 13 , characterized in that the mesh size of the net base is smaller than the size of the knot.
