April 20, 1954 E. BERG HEAD COVERING Filed Feb. '7, 1952 Patented Apr. 20, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HEAD COVERING Elaine Berg, Chicago, Ill.
Application February 7, 1952, Serial No. 27 0,481
1 Claim. 1
The present'invention relates to head coverings, and is particularly concerned with the provision of an improved construction of non-creasing hairnet.
In beauty shops it is the practice to hold the hair in place after setting or waving with a hairnet, and hairnets are also worn by workers, the net being so applied that the elastic which extends about the periphery of the net engages the forehead of the wearer. This tends to produce an indentation or crease in the forehead of the wearer which detracts from the personal appearance of the'user for a short time afterthe removal of the net.
One of the objects of the invention is the provision of an improved construction of non-creasing hairnet in which provision is made for the renewal of the hairnet so that when the hairnet has worn out it may be replaced by the user at a minimum amount of expense.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved non-creasing hairnet in which the assembly may be manufactured at a minimum amount of expense by unskilled labor and without necessity for permanently securing the parts of the assembly together by means of glue or other adhesive as has been done in the prior art.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved form of non-creasing hairnet in which the elastic which surrounds the periphery of the hairnet is permitted to expand and contract freely inside the forehead shield, and in which the shield is attached to the hairnet by means of tabs passing through openings in the hairnet as distinguished from a rigid securement of the elastic in the devices of the prior art.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a plurality of forms of quickly detachable forehead shields for non-creasing hairnets, some of which may be maintained in constantly clean condition by merely wiping them off with a damp cloth, and. others of which are provided with special means for absorbing perspiration and further enhancing the comfort of the shield.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which similar characters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the single sheet of drawings accompanying this specification,
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view showing a user with a non-creasing hairnet embodying the invention;
. 2 Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of my improved non-creasing shield;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the pattern of the shield of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary bottom edge view of that portion of the shield and net which is located adjacent the forehead, seen from the top of Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the plane of the line 55 of Fig. 4, looking in the direction of the arrows, and showing the manner in which the tabs of the shield pass through and are secured to the hairnet;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary, front elevational view of another modified form of shield and net which may be equipped with a sweat band;
Fig. 7 is a transverse sectional view taken on the plane of the line 'l''! of Fig. 6, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring to Fig. l, l 9 indicates in its entirety the non-creasing hairnet assembly which includes a shield II and a net l2.
The hairnet comprises a reticulated body I3, the periphery of which is provided with an elastic band l4, about which the body may be folded or the elastic band may extend in and out of the holes of the net adjacent the edge thereof.
The present invention is applicable to all types of hairnets and may be applied to any hairnet purchased on the open market.
The shield H is preferably made of relatively stiff sheet material, such as a fabric of filled buckram, which may be purchased in many different colors and may, therefore, harmonize in color with the color of the net or the hair of' the user.
The buckram sheet material retains itscrea'se.
or fold it, when it is bent backward upon itself to form a U-shaped member; havingthe two layers It and ii which form the body of the shield.
The body of the shield i l is preferably substantially rectangular in shape except that one of the layers I B, that is the outer layer, is provided with longitudinally extending rectangular tabs I8 and I9, projecting centrally from each end.
The tabs are in alignment with the ends of a pair of slits 29, 2!, which are formed in the other layer [1, the slits extending parallel to the end edges 22, 23 of the rear layer I i.
In order to attach the shield to the hairnet, the shield is folded substantially as shown in Fig. 2, and the edge of the hairnet [2, with its elastic I6, is placed in the trough 24, formed by the shield, and moved down into the groove at the crease I5.
Without necessarily Stretching the elastic, the net itself has its body extended inside the trough 24 to its full length, and thereafter the tabs i8 and H] are passed through the adjacent apertures in the net body, such as, for example, the net aperture 25, Fig. 5.
The tabs [8 are then folded over to U-shape and their ends are extended through the slits 20 and 2! and pushed in tightly until the tabs form a U-bend at 26 and 27, where they emerge from the apertures of the net body; and the inner,
Thus the body of the net is removably attached to the shield Without affecting the extensionorcontraction of the elastic band 14, which extendsj about the periphery of the net.
Whenever the net wears out a new net may be installed in its place, or if a different color or kind ofnet is desired, it'may be readily replaced.
It will thusibe observed that I have. invented an improved non-creasing hairnet in which the hairnets are constantly renewable and in which the extension and contraction of theelastic isv another modified form of detachable shield for.
preventing creasing by a hairnet. In this case the shield 3! comprises a relatively stiff yet bendablelsheet of transparent, shiny, smooth plastic.
which is of substantially rectangular form but is'provi'ded with rounded ends.
The transparent plastic sheet may in some cases be-used alone and secured to the front of.
the hairnet as described hereinafter,.in. which case it might be substantiallyinvisible, if trans parent; In the embodiment of Figs. 6 and 7 the sheet 33. has secured to it a rear layeroffelt as, by means of adhesive for serving as a sweat band.
The felt 3% and the plastic 33 are coextensive and .both are provided adjacent each rounded" endlwitha concentric hole 35. In each .case. aslit 36 is made from the hole 35 to the end in both the plastic and the felt, and theslit 36 provides a closable form of entry into the hole.35.'
Thenet is attached bypassing one of the tabs upon theadjacent side'of the slit as through:
a .holeJ-in'the net, and the body of the net is then drawn tightly longitudinally of the shield 3| .and' the corresponding tab on the other end ispassed through to the hole in the. net. The
elastic which surrounds the periphery of the net:
'is left free to expand and contract along the shield and through the holes.
In this case the shield is not folded but lies flatly against the forehead behind the forward edge of the net and protects the forehead against creasing by the net and absorbs perspiration.
Like the other shield, this one is quickly detachable and whenever a net has worn out it may be replaced, and the present :shield is particularly appropriate for using under a drier because it absorbs the perspiration from the forehead.
While I have illustrated a preferred embodiment of my invention, many modifications may be made" without departing from the spirit of the ,invention-,= and, Ido not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of all changes within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus-described my; invention,- whatil claim' as'new and desiretoasecure'by Letters-Patent .of-ithe. United, States, is z;
