SWEAT BAND Filed Sept. 17, 1957 35W W a, fliforn y.
Patented May 30, 1939 UNlTED STATES PATENT OFFICE SWEAT BAND Willard F. Sterne, Bufialo, N. Y., 'assignor to American Allsaie Company, Inc., Buffalo, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application September 17, 1937, Serial No. 164,347-
4 Claims.
tually frees the eyes of sweat and other sweatladen matter and eliminates steamed-up and foggy og les.
A still further object is to provide a sweat-absorbing head band which is-designed to afford comfort to the wearer and adapted to fit anysized head snugly and firmly and which is free of hooks, buckles or other fastenings.
In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the sweat band applied to the head of a wearer. Figure 2 is a detached perspective view thereof. Figure 3 is an enlarged cross section taken on line 3-3, Figure 2.
Similar characters of reference'indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, the same consists of an absorbent pad -or member ID of substantially rectangular form to fit or engage the forehead of the wearer and an elastic attaching band ll applied to the pad for fitting about or encircling the wearer's head to firmly and snugly hold the pad in absorbing contact with the forehead.
being elastic, readily adapts itself to different head-sizes without resorting to uncomfortable fastening clasps, buckles and thelike, and permits of the ready application and removal of the pad to and from the head. As shown in the drawing, the elastic band overlies and extends over the front or outer face and from end to end of the absorbent pad l0 and while free to move lengthwise or slide freely from end to end of the pad, it is effectually held against transverse displacement by retaining loops l2, also preferably of elastic materiahsecured to the pad by staples i3'or like fastenings. By this relative arrangement of pad and attaching band, the pad is held closely and snugly to the forehead in absorbing contact therewith to intercept perspiration and other foreign matter carried by it and there is no strain whateveF on the'pad, the strain being wholly absorbed by the attaching band.
The pad I0 is made of a tough, cellular, spongelike material whichis soft and pliable and of high sweat-absorptive qualities. and which efthe excess moisture.
absorbs the perspiration and prevents it pour- The attaching band is preferably endless and,
'ment with said loops.
fectually resists chemical action of sweat and grease and is not subject to shrinking or stretching.
Before aplying this-sweat band, it is preferably dipped in cool water and squeezed to remove When worn it effectually ing into the eyes of the wearer, promoting clearvision at all times and preventing accidents due to faulty vision occasioned by perspiration. Furthermore, this sweat band is particularly useful for those workers who are obliged to wear goggles, and in this connection steaming-up and fogging of the goggles is eliminated. Also, the band is durable and comfortable, easily applied and removed, it affords a sense of coolness to the wearer, it can be easily washed and sterilized and always kept sanitary, and it is inexpensive.
I claim as my invention: 1 1. A device of the character described, comprising a sweat-absorbing pad of cellular,- sponge-like material for engagement with the forehead of a wearer, an elastic head-engaging band applied thereto and extending over the front face thereof for retaining the pad in close contact with the forehead, and means for establishing a slip-like connection between said pad and said band to permit independent expansion andcontraction of such parts relative to each other..-
2.'A device of the character described, comprising asweat-absorbing pad of a cellular, sponge-like material and adapted for engagement with the forehead of a'wearer, loops of elastic material applied to the front face of said pad, and an endless, elastic head-attaching band overlying the front face of the pad from endto end thereof and in sliding retaining engage- 3. A device of the character described, comprising an elastic head-engaging band and a sweat-absorbing pad of cellular material contiguously overlying a portion of the band and containing loops interfitted with said band to permit of independent absorptive expansion and contraction of the pad relative to the band, and an independent expansion and contraction of th band relative to the pad.
4. A device of the character described,' comprising a circumferentially adjustable head-engaging band, and a sweat-absorbing pad of cellular materialhaving guide means thereon for connecting said band thereto against relative lateral displacement and permitting a free independent longitudinal displacement of su parts relative to each other.
