Abstract

A wig base is provided including a skin side layer of natural fiber, an outer layer of synthetic fiber for maintaining the shape, and adhesive for bonding the skin side layer and the outer layer together. The outer layer may be transparent fabric. The skin side layer may also be transparent fabric and the outer layer may have higher transparency than the skin side layer. The adhesive may not permeate into the skin side surface of the skin side layer. The skin side layer may be colored deep blue and pale red in comparison to the outer layer. A wig may be provided whose wig base is molded into a head shape and has hairs attached thereto. A manufacturing method for a wig base may be provided including a step of molding the wig base with a mold resembling a head through heating.

Claims (47)

1 . A wig base comprising:

a skin side layer of natural fiber;

an outer layer of synthetic fiber that maintains by itself a molded shape of the wig base; and

adhesive that bonds an outside surface of the skin side layer to a surface of the outer layer that faces the outside surface of the skin side layer, wherein

the adhesive is disposed in a pattern formed with line segments radiating from a center of the surface of the outer layer and concentric lines or in a mesh pattern,

the skin side layer and the outer layer are colored with skin color, and

the skin color of the skin side layer is more deep blue and more pale red in comparison to the skin color of the outer layer.

2 . The wig base according to claim 1 , wherein the outer layer is transparent fabric.

3 . The wig base according to claim 2 , wherein the skin side layer is also transparent fabric and the outer layer is more transparent than the skin side layer.

4 . A wig comprising the wig base according to claim 3 , wherein

the wig base is molded into a head shape, and

hairs are attached to the wig base.

5 . A wig comprising the wig base according to claim 2 , wherein

the wig base is molded into a head shape, and

hairs are attached to the wig base.

6 . The wig base according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is not permeated into a skin side surface of the skin side layer in contact with a user's head.

7 . A wig comprising the wig base according to claim 6 , wherein

the wig base is molded into a head shape, and

hairs are attached to the wig base.

8 . A wig comprising the wig base according to claim 1 , wherein

the wig base is molded into a head shape, and

hairs are attached to the wig base.

9 . A manufacturing method for a wig base, comprising molding, through heating, the wig base according to claim 1 , wherein the molded shape is configured to resemble a user's head.

10 . A manufacturing method for a wig base, comprising molding, through heating, the wig base according to claim 2 , wherein the molded shape is configured to resemble a user's head.

11 . A manufacturing method for a wig base, comprising molding, through heating, the wig base according to claim 3 , wherein the molded shape is configured to resemble a user's head.

12 . A manufacturing method for a wig base, comprising molding, through heating, the wig base according to claim 6 , wherein the molded shape is configured to resemble a user's head.

13 . A wig base comprising:

a skin side layer of natural fiber;

an outer layer of synthetic fiber that maintains a shape; and

adhesive that is made of a hot melt resin and bonds an outside surface of the skin side layer to a surface of the outer layer that faces the outside surface of the skin side layer, wherein

the adhesive is disposed in a pattern formed with line segments radiating from a center of the surface of the outer layer and concentric lines or in a mesh pattern,

the skin side layer and the outer layer are colored with skin color, and

the skin color of the skin side layer is more deep blue and more pale red in comparison to

the skin color of the outer layer.

14 . The wig base according to claim 13 , wherein the outer layer is transparent fabric.

15 . The wig base according to claim 14 , wherein the skin side layer is also transparent fabric and the outer layer is more transparent than the skin side layer.

16 . The wig base according to claim 13 , wherein the adhesive is not permeated into a skin side surface of the skin side layer in contact with a user's head.

17 . A wig base comprising:

a skin side layer of natural fiber;

an outer layer of synthetic fiber that maintains a shape; and

adhesive that bonds an outside surface of the skin side layer to a surface of the outer layer that faces the outside surface of the skin side layer, wherein

the adhesive is disposed in a pattern formed with line segments radiating from a center of the surface of the outer layer and concentric lines or in a mesh pattern,

the skin side layer and the outer layer are colored with skin color, and

the skin color of the skin side layer is more deep blue and more pale red in comparison to the skin color of the outer layer.

18 . The wig base according to claim 17 , wherein the outer layer is transparent fabric.

19 . The wig base according to claim 18 , wherein the skin side layer is also transparent fabric and the outer layer is more transparent than the skin side layer.

20 . The wig base according to claim 17 , wherein the adhesive is not permeated into a skin side surface of the skin side layer in contact with a user's head.
