Abstract

Provided is a wig manufacturing method. The wig manufacturing method includes dividing a planting net, into which a wig fiber is planted, into a plurality of areas to be designed in a certain pattern, by using a computer device, inputting a planting process using a plurality of needles of a wig manufacturing apparatus according to a pattern shape of each divided net, manufacturing, by the wig manufacturing apparatus, a divided fabric by planting the wig fiber into each divided net according to the input planting process, and cutting and sewing each manufactured divided fabric.

Claims (8)

1 . A wig manufacturing method comprising:

dividing a planting net, into which wig fibers are planted, into a plurality of areas, by using a computer device;

inputting a planting process using a plurality of needles of a wig manufacturing apparatus according to a pattern shape of each of the plurality of areas;

manufacturing, by the wig manufacturing apparatus, a divided fabric by planting the wig fibers into each of the plurality of areas according to the input planting process, wherein the manufacturing of the divided fabric comprises adjusting, by a tension adjusting device including a motor connected to a clamping unit, tension of the planting net supplied to the wig manufacturing apparatus to be maintained at a pre-determined value according to a type of the planting net, the clamping unit fixing one end of the planting net and the tension being adjusted by setting a speed of the motor through a user interface unit; and

cutting each area of the plurality of areas with wig fibers secured thereto and sewing the plurality of areas together to form a wig.

2 . The wig manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the manufacturing of the divided fabric comprises selecting, by a user, planting patterns corresponding to the plurality of areas, through the user interface unit.

3 . The wig manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the divided planting net comprises a front portion having a half-moon shape, a central portion having a rectangular shape and extending adjacent to a center of the front portion, a left portion having a half-fan shape and adjacent to a lower left side of the front portion and a left side of the central portion, and a right portion having a half-fan shape and adjacent to a lower right side of the front portion and a right side of the central portion.

4 . The wig manufacturing method of claim 3 , wherein a shape obtained by sewing the front portion, the central portion, the left portion, and the right portion is a hemispherical shape, and the left portion and the right portion are symmetrical to each other.
