ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such and more particularly pertains to a new headband apparatus and method of making for securing the headband material in such a way as to avoid twisting while it is encircled on the wearer's head as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing hair enhancement for the wearer.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such are known in the prior art. More specifically, devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,551,452; 4,819,671; 2,567,119; 5,230,355, 5,337,763; 4,600,029; 1,481,778; 5,426,788; U.S. Pat. No. Des. 357,343, U.S. Pat. No. Des. 351,052 and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 133,497.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new headband apparatus and method of making. The inventive device includes a headband portion of inelastic material attached at opposite ends by an elastic member which extends thorough the length of a covering member. The present invention further includes the method of stitching the elastic and covering assembly so that the inelastic portion of the headband remains flat while on the head of the wearer.
In these respects, the headband apparatus and method of making according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of securing the headband material in such a way as to avoid twisting while it is positioned on the wearer's head as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing hair enhancement for the wearer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new headband apparatus and method of making wherein the same can be utilized for securing the headband material in such a way as to avoid twisting while it is encircled on the wearer's head as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing hair enhancement for the wearer.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new headband apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new headband apparatus and method of making such which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a headband portion of inelastic material attached at opposite ends to an elastic member which extends through the length of a covering member. The invention further comprises the method of making the inventive device by stitching the elastic and covering assembly so that the inelastic portion of the headband remains flat while on the head of the wearer.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new headband apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new headband apparatus and method which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art devices to be worn on the head and the methods of making such, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new headband apparatus and method of making which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new headband apparatus and method of making which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new headband apparatus and method of making which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such headband apparatus and method of making economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new headband apparatus and method of making which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new headband apparatus and method of making for securing the headband material in such a way as to avoid twisting while it is positioned on the wearer's head as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing hair enhancement for the wearer.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new headband apparatus and method of making which includes a headband portion of inelastic material attached at opposite ends to an elastic member which extends through the length of a covering member and the method of stitching the elastic and covering assembly so that the inelastic portion of the headband remains flat while on the head of the wearer.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new headband apparatus and method of making that permits the wearer to have a headband apparatus that can appear to enhance the appearance of the wearer's own hair.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new
