Abstract
A scarf (10) is disclosed comprising an elongate section (11) and a hood/headband (12) secured to the elongate section intermediate opposite ends thereof. The scarf further comprises at least two pocket (13) regions formed within the elongate section.
Description
- The present invention relates to a scarf.
- It is known to provide scarves for wrapping around a persons' neck region during cold weather. It is also known to provide gloves for keeping a persons' hands warm. However, when these items of clothing are removed, they often become misplaced.
- In addition, it is common for people to wear scarves with over-coats which do not comprise a hood. As a result, if the person is exposed to a rain shower, then the rainwater may penetrate the underlying shirt (for example) by passing down between the wearers' neck and overcoat.
- I have now devised a scarf which alleviates the above-mentioned problems.
- In accordance with the present invention there is provided a scarf, the scarf comprising an elongate section and a head section secured to the elongate section intermediate opposite ends thereof, the scarf further comprising at least two pocket regions.
- The scarf of the present invention can thus be wrapped around a persons' neck while the head section can be placed over the head to keep the head and ears warm for example. In addition, the pockets provide suitable protection for the persons' hands from cold weather.
- One of the at least two pocket regions is preferably formed at one end of the elongate section and the other of the at least two pocket regions is preferably formed at the other end of the elongate section.
- Each of the at least two pocket regions preferably comprises a glove or mitten formed therein which can be exposed by turning the respective pocket regions inside-out.
- Preferably, the head section comprises a hood that covers the head, or a headband which is placed around the forehead and ears.
- The hood/head band is preferably secured to the elongate section at a position which is closer to one end of the elongate section than the other. The asymmetry enables the longer part of the elongate section to be wrapped around a person's neck with the result that the two free ends which extend from the neck region are of substantially the same length.
- Preferably, the hood/headband and the at least two pocket regions are formed integrally with the elongate section.
- The scarf may preferably be formed from a fabric material comprising one or more of wool, cotton, silk, polyester, cashmere or fleece.
- The hood may further comprise a waterproof outer layer.
- The preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a view from the front of the scarf of the present invention; and, -
FIG. 2 is a magnified view of the inside of the pocket region ofFIG. 1 . - Referring to the drawings there is shown a
scarf 10 according to the present invention. According to a first embodiment, thescarf 10 comprises ascarf wrap 11 and ahood 12 secured thereto. Thehood 12 is positioned to one side of the centre of thescarf wrap 11 such that thewrap 11 extends further from one side of thehood 12 than the other. - The
scarf 10 further comprises apocket 13 formed at each end of thewrap 11 within which is formed a mitten orglove 14. Eachglove 14 is formed integrally with thewrap 11 such that turning thepocket 13 inside out causes theglove 14 to become visible. - Each pocket is formed by turning back the
wrap 11 at each end thereof and the overlappingsection 15 is then stitched or otherwise bonded along the side edges thereof to the side edges of thewrap 11. - The
wrap 11,hood 12 andgloves 14 may be formed of any fabric material such as cotton, wool, silk or fleece, and may be formed as one-piece. In addition, thehood 12 may comprise a waterproofouter layer 16 to prevent any rainwater, for example, passing through thehood 12. It is also preferred that thehood 12 comprises adrawstring 17 which passes around theperiphery 18 of the open region of thehood 12, so that by pulling on thedrawstring 17, thehood 12 can collapse to fit more intimately around the wearers' head. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, thehood 12 may comprisefasteners 19 arranged on opposite sides of the lower edge of thehood 12 so that the base of the hood can be closed around the wearers' face. - According to a second embodiment of the present invention that is not illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the
hood 12 is replaced with a headband (not shown). The headband is for placing around a persons' head, such that the headband covers the persons' forehead and ears. It is envisaged that this may be particularly useful for joggers while running outside during cold weather, as the band will act to keep the persons' ears warm, while also preventing any perspiration on the forehead from falling down the persons' face. - It is further envisaged that the
hood 12 and headband may be interchangeable upon thescarf wrap 11 using fasteners (not shown), so that the wearer can select which is most suited for the occasion. In use thehood 12 or headband (not shown) is placed over a persons' head (not shown) and the longer section ofwrap 11 is wrapped around the persons' neck. In this manner, the resulting sections 11 a, 11 b ofwrap 11 which extend down from the neck region of the wearer are of substantially the same length. The wearer (not shown) may then place their hands within thepockets 13 or turn the pockets inside out and place their hands (not shown) in thegloves 14. - A scarf in accordance with the present invention thus provides a simple yet effective item of clothing which can be worn as a single accessory as opposed to several separate items.
