Headwear

Abstract

A bandanna-type head wear formed of a fabric, and provides fashion or protection to the wearer. The head wear comprises a first member, and a second member detachably secured to the first member to provide for an integral arrangement of the two members capable of a dual function. The first member comprises a fabric panel having a generally isosceles triangular section. For each of the two equal sides, a portion of the marginal edge at about the apex defined by a side and the base extends outwardly relative to the base to provide for a base longer in its dimension than would be defined by lines that extend in a straight direction from apex to apex. Terminating at the base of the triangular section is an integrally formed, downwardly depending, substantially rectangular section having opposing lateral edges. The second member of the head covering comprises a headband of an elongated, fabric band which is substantially longer than the rectangular section of the first member so that the opposed ends of the headband extend beyond the lateral edges of the rectangular section when attached to the first member. The first and second members include means for detachably fastening one member to the other, and the second member includes means for fastening the ends in overlapping relationship, thereby providing a conforming and secure fit.

Description

[0001] This invention relates to a headwear or covering. In its more specific aspect, this invention relates to a headwear or covering of a basic construction, comprised of a basic structure having an unique arrangement of dual, cooperative members and constructed so to provide a dual function.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART[0002] Head wear or head coverings of a bandanna-type construction have been used by people for many years. The bandanna is most typically a fabric, and is versatile in that it can provide several functions such as fashion, protection, and sweat adsorption. The fabric bandanna typically is of a rectangular or triangular construction to provide a conforming and secure fit to the wearer.[0003] The prior art shows a number of United States patents comprising a head cover with an integrally formed headband. This prior art includes, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,594,856 showing a fabric bandanna for fitting the head and having an integral hea...

Benefits of technology

[0002] Head wear or head coverings of a bandanna-type construction have been used by people for many years. The bandanna is most typically a fabric, and is versatile in that it can provide several functions such as fashion, protection, and sweat adsorption. The fabric bandanna typically is of a rectangular or triangular construction to provide a conforming and secure fit to the wearer.

[0006] Broadly, my invention provides a head covering or a bandanna-type head wear for at least a portion of the head of a wearer, which is formed of a fabric, and provides fashion, or protection, or sweat absorption to or for the wearer. The head wear of this invention comprises a first member, and a second member detachably secured to the first member to provide for an integral arrangement of the two members capable of a dual function. Accordingly, the first member comprises a fabric panel having a generally isosceles triangular section. For each of the two equal sides, a portion of the marginal edge at about the apex defined by a side and the base extends outwardly relative to the base to provide for a base longer in its dimension than would be defined by linear sides, that is, lines that extend in a straight direction from apex to apex. Terminating at the base of the triangular section is an integrally formed, downwardly depending, substantially rectangular section having opposing lateral edges, which preferably are substantially parallel but may be arcuate or some other configuration. The second member of the head covering comprises a headband of an elongated, fabric band which is substantially longer than the rectangular section of the first member so that the opposed ends of the headband extend beyond the lateral edges of the rectangular section when attached to the first member. The first and second members include means for detachably fastening one member to the other, and the second member includes means for fastening the ends in overlapping relationship, thereby providing a conforming and secure fit.

Problems solved by technology

However, such construction providing a unitary body limits the application and function of the bandanna.
