Oct. 3, 1933. H, scHRAMM HAIR NET OR CAP Fiied Aug. 10, 1932 mvsmuw Patented Oct. 3, 1933 HAIR NET R CAP' Hermann Schramm, Berlin, Germany Application August 10, 1932, Serial No. 628,161,

and in Germany November 9, 1931 lClaim.

In the known hair nets or caps consisting of a net or veil-like hood with two fastening bands, in which one end of each band is attached to the hood, the fastening of the hood was hitherto effected in that, after the hood had been put on, the free ends of the bands, laid or crossed over the hood, were connected by means of a spring button or by tying a loop on the front or rear part of the hood.

'Ihe positioning and fastening of such hair nets was inconvenient, but the fact, that the hood became shifted during the placing, fastening and loosening of the bands, thus resulting in a roughening'of the dressed hair, was found particularly disadvantageous. Moreover, bands of rubber or blade springs were used for adapting the hood approximately to the shape of the head. Owing to the repeated washing of the hair net which is necessary, the rubber becomes brittle and the metal parts rust.

All these objections are overcome by the hair net or cap according to the invention, which is characterized in that one band is fastened on the inner side of the cap and passed across the rear of the cap through a hollow seam so that its other free end hangs out of the corresponding end of the same, the other band being attached to the outer side of the hood at the end of the seam from which the end of the first band extends and is then passed through the hollow seam so that the free end of the band extends from the end of the seam near which the rst band is sewn. By pulling the projecting ends of the bands the rear of the cap is pulled together in the form of flounces.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing in which:-

Fig. 1 shows in perspective view the improved hair net placed loosely on the head.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the net in closed condition on the head.

Fig. 3 shows in elevation the hollow seam with the two bands and the tabs of the hollow seam.

Fig. 4 is an end view of Fig. 3.

The hair cap consists of a net or veil-like hood a with two fastening bands d and e. The band d is attached at d on the inner side of the hollow seam b and passed through the seam so that its loose end projects from the other end of the hollow seam. The band e is attached at e' to the outer side of the hollow seam b at the end from which the free end of band d projects and passes through the hollow seam in opposite direction to end of the hollow seam at which band d is attached. The two ends of the hollow seam form each a tab c.

The improved hair net is put on in the following manner:-

The hair cap is placed tightly like a veil over the dressed hair, whereupon, by pulling the free ends of the bands d and e the lower end of the cap is pulled together in ounce form, so that it tightly flts over the dressed hair. The free ends of the bands d and e can then be tied in a bow under the chin or on the back of the cap.

The removal of the hair cap is eifected either by only untying the bow and pulling' the cap off the head gripping the middle of the front edge of the cap with the thumb and index finger or by simultaneously pulling the tabs c, whereby the hood is opened.

I claim:

A hair cap, comprising in combination with the cap proper, a hollow seam near the lower rearv edge of the cap, two tying bands threaded through said hollow seam one of said bands being attached to the outer portion of said seam at one end thereof and the other of said bands being attached to the inner portion of said seam at the other end thereof, the two bands projecting from the ends of said seam remote from'their points of attachment to cause when pulled a puckering of the rear portion of said cap, and tabs rigidly xed one on each end of the outer portionv of said seam adapted when pulled to stretch and remove the puckering from the rear portion of said cap to facilitate removal of the Cap.

the band d so that its free end projects from the HERMANN SCHRAMIM.
