Definitions

  • the invention relates to a headband, in particular for athletic activities.
  • the headband fulfills various functions.
  • the headband serves to absorb perspiration. It also protects the sensitive forehead and ear areas from undercooling due to the evaporation of perspiration or a cold wind.
  • a headband has the advantage over a cap that it does not result in a buildup of heat because it allows unhindered escape of the heat released by the head in increased amounts during athletic activities.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a headband, in particular for athletic activities, that allows sun protection means to be carried along without claiming any additional transportation capacities. According to this invention, this object is achieved by providing at least one peripheral pocket on the inside of the headband to accommodate sun protection means.
  • the present invention creates a headband for athletic activities, in particular one that allows sun protection means to be brought along without claiming any additional transportation capacities.
  • the pocket is preferably designed so that it can be closed by a zipper or a velcro-type closure.
  • vision protection that can be stowed in the pocket is provided on the headband. This counteracts any impairment of vision due to intense sun exposure.
  • the vision protection preferably consists essentially of a knit fabric. Therefore, it can be stowed evenly in the pocket without causing any local pressure points on the head.
  • the vision protection has a neoprene inlay. This ensures rigidity of the vision protection with simultaneous good flexibility and stowability.
  • the vision protection is advantageously arranged on the inside of the headband. This allows removal of the vision protection in order to care for it or to replace a defective vision protection means.
  • a head cover is provided on the headband and can also be stowed in the pocket. This ensures protection of the head from excessive sunlight exposure.
  • the head cover is preferably designed as a tube with the central opening being closable by a tension belt, preferably elastic. Therefore, the head cover can be stowed easily and at the same time can be optimally adapted to the head size of the person wearing the headband. In addition, the opening is not closed completely even when adapting the head cover to the head, so the heat occurring on the head can escape.
  • the tension band is advantageously provided with a stopping means.
  • the head cover is detachably connected to the inside of the headband. This permits easy removal of the head cover from the headband for reasons of care or to replace definitive head cover.
  • a neck protection is provided on the headband and can be stowed in the pocket. This allows protection of the neck, which is especially at risk of sunburn.
  • the neck protection preferably has at least one ventilation area made of a jacquard woven fabric. This counteracts a buildup of heat in the area of the neck.
  • the vision protection, head cover and/or neck protection are advantageously made of a UV blocking fiber. This further increases the protection of the head against excessive UV radiation.
  • FIG. 1 shows the headband with the vision protection, head cover and neck protection
  • FIG. 2 shows the headband with the vision protection, head cover and neck protection stowed in the headband
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the inside of the headband
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the head cover.
  • the headband 1 selected as the exemplary embodiment is equipped with a vision protection 2 , a neck protection 3 and a head cover 4 .
  • the headband 1 is made of an absorbent terry cloth material.
  • Two pockets 11 , 12 of approximately the same size are positioned so they are sandwiched one above the other running peripherally on the inside of the headband 1 , the bottoms of the pockets being arranged opposite one another.
  • the openings in the pockets 11 , 12 facing outward can be closed by a zipper 111 , 121 .
  • other types of closure are also possible, e.g., a velcro-type closure, buttons, etc.
  • the vision protection 2 is designed in the manner of the bill of a cap. It consists essentially of a neoprene inlay sheathed by a knit fabric. The vision protection 2 is sewn to the inside of the headband 1 inside the pocket 11 , so that the outer row of teeth of the zipper 111 of the pocket 11 is in contact with the vision protection 2 while being covered by the lower edge of the headband 1 .
  • a neck protection 3 has been sewn to the inside of the headband 1 inside the pocket 11 on the side of the headband 1 opposite the vision protection 2 .
  • the neck protection 3 is a woven fabric made of a UV blocking fiber (UV-cut).
  • a ventilation area 31 is arranged, made of a jacquard weave.
  • the ventilation area may have the design of a manufacturer's brand, for example.
  • the neck protection 3 is designed to be rounded on the side facing away from the headband 1 .
  • a head cover 4 is arranged on the inside of the headband 1 .
  • the head cover 4 is designed in the form of a tube and is sewn to the inside of the headband 1 inside the pocket 2 and running peripherally so that the outer row of teeth of the zipper 121 of the pocket 12 rests on the head cover 4 and is covered by the upper edge of the headband 1 .
  • An elastic tension belt 41 which is provided with a stopping means 42 is sewn to the edge facing away from the headband 1 in the head cover 4 .
  • the shape of the head cover 4 can be varied via the tension belt 41 , so that the head cover 4 can be adapted to the head of the wearer.
  • the head cover 4 is also made of UV blocking fabric.
  • the vision protection 2 and the neck protection 3 may be stowed in the pocket 11 on the inside of the headband 1 , the pocket then being closed by the zipper 111 .
  • the operating part of the zipper 111 may be arranged on the inside of the headband 1 , where it is concealed in a seam fold (not shown).
  • the head cover 4 For stowing the head cover 4 , it is brought into its tubular basic form by releasing the tension belt 41 and then is stowed in the pocket 12 on the inside of the headband 1 , said pocket then being closed by the zipper 121 .
  • the operating part of the zipper 121 may also be arranged so that it is concealed in a seam fold (not shown).
  • a design with only one pocket arranged on the inside of the headband 1 is also conceivable, so that the vision protection 2 and the neck protection 3 can be stowed in this pocket.
  • the head cover 4 may be applied to the edge of the headband 1 in a rolled-up form and may be secured by means of loops or the like.
