Description

Bridal headdress

The subject of the present innovation is a bridal headdress, as it has become known in a variety of forms.

This assumes a closed bridal headdress, whereby a closed bridal headdress traditionally consists of a closed ring, which consists, for example, of a round wire wrapped in a fabric sheath. It is also possible to choose a corresponding plastic tube with a wire insert instead of the round wire wrapped in fabric. It is also known to wrap the wire with a yarn in order to achieve a comfortable wearing experience.

A characteristic of such ring-shaped, self-contained bridal headdress sets is that there is a ring with a fixed diameter that cannot be easily adjusted to the shape of the wearer's head. This means that the self-contained ring was previously only made with a fixed diameter that corresponds to the average head size of all wearers.

This had the disadvantage that such a closed bridal headdress could not be adequately adjusted to the actual head size of the wearer. Previously, the solution had been to bend the ring, which is only possible to a limited extent, because with very small head sizes, a large gap remains between the ring-shaped bridal headdress and the wearer's head.

On the other hand, the bridal headdress sits too far on the wearer's head if the head width of the wearer is significantly larger than the

intended ring diameter.

The present innovation is therefore based on the task of developing a bridal headdress with a closed ring part in such a way that it can be easily adapted to different head sizes of the plaintiff.

To solve the problem, the innovation is characterized by the features of the main claim. It is therefore important that the bridal headdress designed as a ring is open on at least one side and in this area consists of two overlapping, mutually movable ends, the position of which can be fixed relative to one another.

The technical teaching provided provides the significant advantage that the width of the self-contained ring can now be adjusted and locked within wide limits. Since the ring is open at least in one place and consists of two ends that are adjacent to one another and can be moved and locked relative to one another, the displacement of the two ends on the wearer's head can now be precisely adjusted according to the required head width, after which the two ends are then fixed relative to one another in their displacement position.

The new width adjustment of the ring of the bridal headdress can be implemented in several different ways.

In a first embodiment according to the innovation, it is provided that one ring part is designed at its end as a sleeve, into which the other ring part slidably engages with its end and can be fixed there.

If the ring parts consist of metal wires wrapped in yarn, the manufacture of such a sleeve is particularly simple because this sleeve is simply wound under the wrapping yarn of the metal wire and is thus clearly fixed to one end of the ring.

The other end of the ring part is then passed through this sleeve and bent over with a hook-like end. The bridal headdress can now be easily adjusted to the wearer's head by moving the ring part in relation to the end that goes through the ring part until it fits snugly on the wearer's head. As soon as this fit is achieved, the two ends are locked together. This is easily done by bending the hook-like end that goes through the sleeve so that it can no longer be moved in relation to the sleeve.

In a preferred development of the present innovation, it is provided that not only one such displacement sleeve is present on the ring-shaped bridal headdress, but that two sleeves are present, so that a parallel, symmetrical adjustment, for example of the forehead area of the bridal headdress in relation to the back of the head area is possible.

It is important that the two adjustment devices are covered by appropriate decorative fittings so that they are not easily visible.

In another application, it is possible to arrange only one such length-adjustable sleeve in the back of the head of the bridal headdress.

Instead of the width adjustment of the self-contained

Ring of the bridal headdress with a sleeve and an end passing through the sleeve, other displacement devices are also provided.

The two overlapping and mutually movable ends are secured together by a clamp, whereby this clamp can be easily clamped and released again. Such a clamp can either be a plastic clamp or a wire or metal band clamp.

In another embodiment, a binding clamp is provided - similar to the one used to fix plants to supporting structures - with one end having a toothing that is passed through an internally toothed lock on the other end, whereby after the binding clamp is tightened, the two ends of the clamp are locked. In this way, too, the two ends of the ring, which can be moved relative to one another, can be clearly fixed relative to one another.

In a further development of the present innovation, in addition to the above-mentioned possibilities, the two ends are each provided with a Velcro fastener and the two ends are arranged in a way that they can be moved and locked relative to one another by the Velcro fasteners engaging with one another. The movement is then carried out by the Velcro fasteners being released from one another and then the movement (adjustment to the width of the wearer's head) takes place, after which the two parts are locked in place by the two Velcro fasteners being hooked into one another.

The subject matter of the present innovation arises not only from the subject matter of the individual protection claims, but also from the combination of the individual protection claims with one another.

The information and features disclosed in the documents - including the summary, in particular the spatial configuration shown in the drawings, are claimed as essential to the invention insofar as they are new compared to the prior art, individually or in combination.

The innovation is explained in more detail below using drawings showing several implementation options. The drawings and their descriptions reveal further key features and advantages of the innovation.

Figure 3: schematic cross-section of another embodiment for preventing the two mutually displaceable ends of the ring part from moving;

Figure 4: a schematic representation of a third embodiment.

The bridal headdress 1 according to the present innovation essentially consists of a self-contained ring 2, which preferably consists of a round wire wrapped in fabric.

In the present embodiment, the ring 2 is open at two points and thus forms a ring part 3 assigned to the back of the head region 5 and a ring part 4 assigned to the forehead region 6.

In the known manner, a comb 8 is arranged on the back of the head area 5 of the ring part 3 and is anchored in the hair of the wearer.

In order to make the head width 7 of this ring 2 adaptable to the head width of the wearer, the new adjustment device is provided.

In the embodiment shown, the adjustment device consists of a sleeve 9, 10, which is connected to the end 11 of the ring part 3. The end 12 of the ring part 4 also extends through the sleeves 9, 10 and is designed to be movable and fixable there.

The displacement of the end 12 in the sleeves 9,10 takes place under frictional engagement.

In order to fix the head width 7 once it has been adjusted, one end designed as a hook 13 is looped around the other end 11 in order to prevent it from moving.

In this way it is possible to move the two ends 11,12 towards each other in the arrow directions 14,15 and then fix them.

Figure 2 shows the side view according to arrow II in Figure 1, where it can be seen that the back of the head in the area of the comb 8 is preferably provided with a decorative set 16 in order to make the comb 8 invisible and it is also indicated that the sleeves 9, 10 are also made invisible by correspondingly laterally attached decorative sets.

It goes without saying that if the sleeves 9, 10 are attached at another location on the ring 2, then the corresponding jewelry fittings 17 are also attached at this location.

Figure 3 shows a further embodiment for creating the displacement between the two ends 11, 12. A clamp 18 made of plastic is shown here only schematically, the two ends of which can be moved and locked relative to one another in the securing position, firmly connecting the two ends 11, 12 to one another and thus forming a displacement lock.

Figure 4 shows a binding clamp 19 which consists of a toothed plastic material which is guided through a lock 20 of the binding clamp 19 which is also toothed on the inside.

A separating cut can then be made at position 21 to cut off an end of the clamp 19 protruding from the lock 20 in order to avoid this displacement lock being visible from the side.

The scope of this innovation covers all width adjustments of a self-contained ring, as long as these width adjustments can be locked after adjustment has been made.
