ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a head gear. More particularly, the invention relates to a hat, to be worn on one's head, and a matching scarf, to be draped around one's neck.
During the cooler months of the year, it is common to wear hats and scarves to protect one's head and neck from the cold weather. Since these articles are often necessary, it should be possible to coordinate the hat and scarf with one's other clothing, thereby creating fashion accessories.
U.S. Pat. No. 58,944 to Rosenberg discloses a unique design for a combined head and neck covering.
U.S. Pat. No. Des. 108,757 to Tannenbaum discloses a unique design for a combined cap and muffler.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,621,920 to Gorsuch et al. discloses a stocking cap with a tail that may be wrapped around one's neck. The end of the tail may then be attached to the cap in order to create either a scarf or a ski mask.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,735,283 to Schuessler discloses a knitted cap structure.
While these units may be suitable for the particular purpose employed, or for general use, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention as disclosed hereafter.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to produce a matching hat and scarf.
It is a still further object of the invention to produce a matching hat and scarf wherein the hat may be attached to the scarf in order to prevent the loss of either piece.
It is a still further object of the invention to produce a matching hat and scarf that can be coordinated with one's other clothing.
The invention is a hat and scarf that is made from coordinating material. A band extends around the circumference of the bottom of the hat and secures it to one's head. A loop is secured to the top of the hat. Each end of the loop is stitched to the hat top, thereby creating a small opening between the hat and the loop. At the rear of the hat, a band is secured at both ends by means of a fastener. The fastener is preferably a button or snap, thereby allowing the band to be easily attached or detached from the hat. A strand of coordinating material extends along the rear of the hat. It is fitted through the loop at the hat top and is secured under the band, consequently leaving two ends of the strand dangling from the bottom of the hat. The scarf is made from a flexible material that drapes loosely over one's neck. It is made from the same material as the hat, thereby creating a matching set.
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects the invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Attention is called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only. Variations are contemplated as being part of the invention, limited only by the scope of the claims.
