Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/780,674 filed on Dec. 17, 2018. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.
- The present invention relates to bandanas. More particularly, the present invention provides a bandana with multiple layers that can be removably secured to each other, which further includes at least one pocket that can store a desired item such as a heating or cooling pack.
- Many people enjoy wearing bandanas for additional warmth, as a stylish fashion accessory, or to aid in preventing the wearer from breathing in particulate matter that may be in the air, such as sand, dust, or smoke. Bandanas are often secured to a wearer's face by tying and knotting portions of the bandana material behind the wearer's head or neck. However, it can be difficult for children or physically limited individuals to secure or remove the bandana in such a manner. If the bandana were to get caught on an object, the bandana could cause the wearer serious injury. For example, if the bandana got caught on an object while the wearer was traveling at high speeds, and the knot did not unravel, the bandana could tighten around the wearer's neck causing physical trauma to the wearer, or even strangulation.
- Devices have been disclosed in the known art that relate to bandanas. These include devices that have been patented and disclosed in patent application publications.
- However, the devices in the known art have several drawbacks. Some devices include respirators and fasteners, but these devices do not provide for a plurality of pockets and do not provide for a plurality of layers that removably secure to each other. Some devices include multiple layers but require snaps and stress the use of snaps rather than Velcro fasteners. These devices may not release when excessive force is applied, thereby resulting in physical trauma. These devices also do not include a plurality of pockets in which a user can store desired items.
- The present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the known art and consequently it is clear that there is a need in the art for an improvement to existing bandana devices. In this regard the present invention substantially fulfills these needs.
- In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of bandanas now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a bandana wherein the same can be utilized to protect a wearer from inclement weather, particulate matter in the air, and to hold any desired items. The present bandana with multiple layers comprises a flexible member with a plurality of layers including a rear layer and a front layer. Complementary fasteners, such as hook and loop material, are disposed on the rear layer and the front layer. The complementary fasteners reversibly attached each of the plurality of layers to each other and can be utilized to secure the bandana with multiple layers about the head or neck of a user. The complementary fasteners also allow the bandana with multiple layers to be quickly removed to prevent injury to the user should excessive force be applied thereto when the bandana with multiple layers is worn. The flexible member also includes at least one pocket. Each pocket can store at least one desired item, for example a heating pack or an ice pack to provide heating or cooling to the user.
- Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- Although the characteristic features of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims, the invention itself and manner in which it may be made and used may be better understood after a review of the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like numeral annotations are provided throughout.
