6 Claims.

In hair nets of known construction, various types of draw strings or bands have been employed for gathering the net snugly about the head, after having been adjusted thereon. One such type embodies the use of two separate draw strings, the attached ends of which are secured to opposite side portions of the net and then either interwoven with the mesh of the net forming the rear lower edge, or extended through a seam along said edge, with thel free end of each string or band depending from the side portion of the net opposite that to which the other end is Vsecured so that the two free ends may be gathered and tied, either under the chin or at the back of the neck.

In accordance with the present invention, it is proposed to simplify the securing means of nets of the above mentioned type and, at the same time, provide a practical and eiiicient means of gathering the marginal edge of the net about the head. To this end, use is made of a single draw string or band which may be either interwoven with the mesh constituting the marginal edge of the net, or passed through seams attached to the marginal portion of said net at the back thereof.

The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions, some of which, for purposes of illustration, are shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

i Figure 1 is a perspective View showing a hair net made in accordance with the present inven` tion and applied to the head.Y

Figure 2 is an enlarged plan View of a portion of a net, such as the lower rear section thereof, and illustrating the manner in which the single draw string is interwoven with the mesh of the net, and,

Figure 3 is a sectional perspective View showing a diierent form of the invention.

Referring more particularly to Figures 1 and 2, the numeral 4 indicates the body portion of a.l

hair net of any conventional or desired construction, and provided with the marginal band 5 usually formed on'nets of this character to enhance the ornamental appearance thereof. This band is also of mesh formationbut usually of a dinerent type of mesh than the body portion of the net. y

In accordance with the presentinvention, a single draw string or `ribbon is employed as the securing means for gathering the end snugly 1939,' Serial No. 260,308

about the head after it has been adjusted thereon. In the drawing, this securing means is shown as a string which is adapted to be interwoven with the mesh of the band 5 with two ends of substantially equal length projecting from the 5 ends of a portion of the band so'that the person `wearing the net may grasp said ends and by pulling thereon gather the marginal edge of the vnet snugly about thel head. In order that the draw string will have the eiect of gathering the 10 material ofthe 'net when the ends of the string are pulled, the intermediate portion 6 of said string is rst interwoven with the mesh of the band 5, after which the righthand end of said portion 6, as viewed in Figure 2, is looped about 15 one of the strands of the mesh. The portion 'I of the string is then passed back and forth between the mesh of the band 5 Yin the lefthandk direction, with the end 8 of the string pro- 1 jecting from the mesh so that the said end may 20 be grasped to pull upon the same.

The other intermediate portion 9 of the string is formed by looping the lefthand end of the portion 6 and then interweaving said portion` 9 through the mesh of said band 5 -until the Iirst named loop at the righthand end of the portion 6 is reached. The remaining end I0 of the string is then projected from the band 5 to form the other tying end of the securing means.

In the form of the invention shown in Figure .3, the lower rear portion of the body of the net is indicated at II and to this portion there is secured, by stitching'crotherwise, two strips of fabric I2 and I3 which may be of any suitable material. These strips are sitched together at spaced intervals longitudinally thereof to form parallel seams I4 which are open-ended. Following the same procedure as described in connection with Figure 2, the draw string I5 may be first passed through the intermediate seam I4, after which the remaining portions of the string are looped and extended through the upper and lower seams in opposite directions, the string being of suicient length so that the extremities thereof will projectbeyond the ends of the seams to provide tying ends, as in Figure 2. vWhat is claimed is: Y'

l. A hair net comprising a body portion hav- `ing a marginal edge provided with means through which a draw string may be extended, and a single draw stringhaving its intermediate portion passing back and forth vthrough said means withv the ends of said 'string depending :freely from said edge at substantially opposite points thereof.

2. A hair 'net comprising a body portion having a marginal edge of mesh formation, and a single draw string having its intermediate portion interwoven With the mesh of said edge by passing said portion back and forth along the same, the free edge of said string extending from said edge and forming a tying means.

3. A hair net comprising a body portion having a mesh formation around its marginal edge, and a draw string extending from adjacent one end thereof into an end of a portion of said mesh and interwoven therewith in one direction to the opposite end of said portion, the string being then looped and returned in the opposite direction through the mesh to the rst named end of said portion, and there looped again and extended through the mesh in the rst named direction, the other end of said string projecting from the mesh at said opposite end of the mesh portion and combining with the first named end of the string to provide a tying means. A

4. A hair net comprising a body portion, a plurality of seams secured along a marginal edge of said body portion, and a draw string extended successively back and forth through said seams With the ends of said string projecting from opposite ends of said seams.

5. A hair net comprising a body, and a single draw string extended `back and forth through a portion of said body and unattached thereto, with the ends of said string extending freely from A.said body at spaced points. y

6. A hair net comprising a body, and a single v draw string extended loosely back and forth through only a portion of the marginal edge of said body with the ends of said string projecting freely from the ends of said portion.
