[0028] The maintenance hole 110 includes one or more gaze maintenance holes 111 formed in a front side of a central part of the visor 102; and gaze blocking holes 112 formed at both sides of the visor 102 to block both sides from entering a visual field.

[0029] A maintenance hole holder 113 is coupled to each of the gaze maintenance hole 111 and the gaze blocking holes 112 to stably maintain the gaze maintainer 120 even if the gaze maintainer 120 is frequently coupled to and detached from the gaze maintenance hole 111 and the gaze blocking holes 112.

[0030] The maintenance hole holder 113 further includes: a flange 114 caught on a top of the maintenance hole 110; a holder body 116 having a maintainer hole 115 into which the gaze maintainer 120 is inserted; a projection 117 formed on an outer side to be caught by a lower side of the maintenance hole 110 below the holder body 116; and an extension 118 formed to have the maintainer hole 115 having a greater length L than a thickness T of the visor 102 to stably catch the gaze maintainer 120.

MODE FOR INVENTION

[0031] Hereinafter, the exemplary configuration and operation of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a hat having a head-up prevention function to which the spirit of the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a hat having a head-up prevention function, taken along a line A-A, to which the spirit of the present invention is applied, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a main part of a hat of a head-up prevention function to which the spirit of the present invention is applied, FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view formed by extracting a main part of a hat having a head-up prevention function to which the spirit of the present invention is applied, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of a hat having a head-up prevention function to which the spirit of the present invention is applied, FIG. 6 is a wearing state diagram of a hat having a head-up prevention function to which the spirit of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 7 is another wearing state diagram of a hat having a head-up prevention function to which the spirit of the present invention is applied, all of which will be described together.

[0033] A hat 100 having a head-up prevention function to which the spirit of the present invention is applied may include a maintenance hole 110 formed in a visor 102 connected to a front side of a cap 101 to protrude therefrom, and a gaze maintainer 120 coupled to the maintenance hole 110 and matching user gaze with a ball 105 to allow a follow-through motion while watching the ball 105 to the end until the moment of impact.

[0034] The maintenance hole 110 may include one or more gaze maintenance holes 111 formed in a front side of a central part of the visor 102, and gaze blocking holes 112 formed at both sides of the visor 102 to block both sides from entering a visual field.

[0035] The gaze maintenance hole 111 and the gaze blocking hole 112 may be configured in such a way that a through hole is directly formed in the visor 102, but a maintenance hole holder 113 may be further coupled to each of the gaze maintenance hole 111 and the gaze blocking hole 112 to prevent the gaze maintainer 120 from being stably maintained due to an increased diameter of each of the gaze maintenance hole 111 and the gaze blocking hole 112 in a process of frequently coupling and detaching the gaze maintainer 120.

[0036] The maintenance hole holder 113 may be formed of a material such as rubber, urethane, or silicone to be easily coupled to the maintenance hole 110 and to also increase adhesion with the gaze maintainer 120, and may include a flange 114 caught on the top of the maintenance hole 110, and a holder body 116 having a maintainer hole 115 into which the gaze maintainer 120 is inserted.

[0037] Needless to say, the maintenance hole holder 113 may be formed in a metal eyelet type as well as formed of a material such as rubber, urethane, or silicone.

[0038] An extension 118 may be integrally formed with a lower part of the holder body 116 to have the maintainer hole 115 having a greater length L than a thickness T of the visor 102 to stably catch the gaze maintainer 120 while having the projection 117 on an outer side to be caught by a lower side of the maintenance hole 110.

[0039] The gaze maintainer 120 may include a head inserted into and caught by the maintenance hole 110 and a maintainer body having a bar type, but according to the present invention, a tee 121 that is necessarily used in golf may be inserted into the maintenance hole 110, thereby removing inconvenience of having to provide a separate item.

[0040] That is, as the tee 121 having a ball accommodation part 123 at a top of a bar type tee body 122 and an insert tip 124 at a bottom thereof, a short tee having a small length, a middle tee having a middle length, or a long tee having a long length may be selected by a user, may be coupled to the maintenance hole 110, and may be used depending on a user body type, a type of a used club, etc.

[0041] The state of use of the hat 100 having a head-up prevention function to which the present invention is applied will be described below.

[0042] In order to use a head-up prevention function, the gaze maintainer 120 may be coupled to the maintenance hole 110 formed in the visor 102 prior to wearing the hat 100, and then when swing is performed in the state in which a user wears the hat 100, the state in which user gaze is matched with the ball 105 may be maintained through the gaze maintainer 120 until the moment of impact, and thus head-up may be prevented to achieve a straight hit, to increase a driving distance, to send a ball straight to a target, and to improve hitting sense through stable swing.

[0043] In more detail, when the tee 121 for golf as the gaze maintainer 120 (it is possible to couple and use a short tee, a middle tee, or a long tee depending on user selection, but a long tee may be advantageous because the user is capable of visually checking the tee while looking at the ball) is coupled to the maintenance hole 110 formed in the front side of the central part of the visor 102, the user may be capable of checking an end of the tee 121 while looking at the ball 105.

[0044] As such, the user may recognize that head-up has not occurred when both of the ball 105 and the tee 121 enter a visual field during backswing and downswing, and at the moment of impact from an address position, and may recognize that head-up has occurred when the tee 121 disappears from the visual field at the moment of impact.

[0045] The above method may be possible during a process of actually hitting the ball 105 in round as well as practice swing, and thus correct swing may be enabled and the ball 105 may be accurately hit to increase a driving distance, to maintain a correct ball direction, and to improve hitting sense through stable swing.

[0046] A central maintenance hole of the plurality of maintenance holes 110 formed in the front side of the central part of the visor 102 may be used to process the gaze during swing using an iron club, and a maintenance hole formed on the right side of the center among the maintenance holes 110 may be used when the head needs to be positioned slightly to the right during swing using a long club such as a driver, a wood, or a utility club.

[0047] Thus, it may be possible to select a maintenance hole among the maintenance holes 110 and to couple the selected maintenance hole to the gaze maintainer 120 for a draw chip that gently curves to the left from a hitting point or a fade chip that curves gently to the right from the hitting point depending on a chip that a user wants to send the ball 105 by hitting the ball 105 as well as a type of a club that the user uses.

[0048] When coupled to the maintenance holes 110 formed in both sides of the visor 102, the gaze maintainer 120 may perform a function of blocking surround scenery or objects, companions, etc. from entering a visual field in a process of swinging after taking an address position, and thus the user may only focus on the ball 105 and the gaze maintainer 120 coupled to the maintenance hole 110 formed in the front side of the central part of the visor 102, and head-up may be prevented to achieve correct swing and hitting.

[0049] According to the present invention, sway in which a lower body moves significantly may be advantageously prevented in a process of switching to backswing from an address position to contribute to a stable swing, and putting ability may also be advantageously improved by extending the arm in a direction of a target to send a ball to the target while maintaining a stable and constant stroke and holding the head at the position of the ball in a putting process.

[0050] According to the present invention, since movement of the head may be held strongly, a user may easily practice maintaining the head at the position of a ball temporarily at the moment of impact or after impact, and thus the body may be prevented from being lifted up and the head may also be prevented from being lifted up by preventing the right foot from being lifted from the floor early, thereby enabling a strong and straight swing due to the effect of extending the arms while maintaining the position of the head.

[0051] As described above, according to the present invention, a stable swing may be achieved by preventing head-up and also blocking surrounds that interrupt the swing from entering a visual field during practice or actual swing in round, thereby advantageously improving hitting sense as well as improving a straight hit and increasing a driving distance.
