AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes an innovative line of headwear called Bandanas that come dressed up through the use of accessories such as visors and scarves. These features make them unique compared to traditional bandsanas because they offer multiple looks and options for wearing. The headwear also includes a comfortable, adjustable headband that allows for easy customization and comfort while still keeping the hat secure. Additionally, the headwear offers protection against sun and wind while providing coverage for medical purposes like chemotherapy treatment. Overall, this new collection provides endless possibilities for fashion and functional wear.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patent is the lack of knowledge and availability of a bandana with a flexible headband during its initial stages of development. Existing solutions such as Beanis and Barrientos did not include all of the key features needed for practical usage, including the ability to incorporate small weights at back for windproofing, being reversible, and attaching a visor to protect the heads of individuals who have lost their hair.
