I. FALK HAIR NET Filed Dec. 2, 1940 ZNVENTOR. ISIDORE FALK- BY Paw Ami-mm? ATTORNEY.

Patented Apr. 14, 1942 ICE" HAIR NET 1 Isidore Falk', Brooklyn, N. 16. Application December 2,1940, Serial No. 368,137

3v Claims.

My invention relates to a hair net,'and particularly to a net for ladies hair, having ends brought around the back of the neck and secured at the front center. Among the purposes and objects are:

To provide a hair net which gathers the hair at the back into the crossed ends, and when secured at the front, gives the effect of a turban.

A hair net which will not disturb the hair do.

A hair net having elastic loop ends to engage a button at the front center.

A hair net having bifurcated ends.

I accomplish these and other objects by the construction herein described and shown in the accompanying drawing forming: a part hereof, in which:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of my hair net with the elastic side members under tension.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the assembled hair net ready for use.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the application of my device.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawing and in the specifications to follow.

I am aware that hair nets have been knitted and woven having the ends of the elastic marginal edges gathered and secured to provide the necessary fullness, when the tension of the elastic edges are released, to form a cap with elastic edges. Such hair nets are expanded sufliciently to slip over the head and hair to hold the hair in place.

With long hair, difliculty is experienced with the ordinary hair net in gathering the hair at the back to come within the confines of the hair net, and at best the hair do is mussed and flattened.

By the use of my hair net the hair is automatically gathered into the fullness of the ends as they are crossed at the back and when the ends are secured at the front center, the hair is neatly held and the added fullness of both the ends and crown portion the hair do is not flattened down and disturbed.

The turban effect of the swirl of the gathered ends not only provides fullness for the front hair but also presents pleasing appearance at the front of the hair net.

Referring to the drawing and particularly to Fig. 1, I have shown the material of the hair net as it would appear with the side marginal edges I stretched so that the

elastic side members

2 and 3 and the strips of rubber or the like attached in the knitted structure are under tension as. they are during the process of manufac time. In broken lines I have shown the outline of. the hair net after releasing the tension of'the. members 2 and 3' and brought together at the top under the fastener or button 4 and at the bottom in the fasteners or elastic loops 5 and 6.

Midway between the side marginal edges l, I. have shown the two selvage finished edges 1 and 8 secured to each other by the cross stitches 9 which continue throughout the length of the material while in the process of manufacture. The stitches 9, however, are severed for a substantial distance from the bottom upwardly to the point I0, thereby forming the two separate wing pieces H and I2.

At the top, the

elastic members

2 and 3, as well as the selvage, finished edges 1 and 8 and the top edge l3 of the mesh I4 of the hair net are gathered together and twisted to form aswirl I5, all being secured at the center under the button 4.

At the bottom, the elastic member 2, the selvage finished edge 7 and the bottom edge l6 of the mesh H are gathered at the side and secured to the elastic loop 5, thereby formingthe wing piece I I. Likewise the wing piece I2 is formed by securing the elastic member 3, the selvage edge 8 and the bottom edge I! are all gathered at and secured to the elastic loop 6.

Stitches l8 or other securing means may be provided to secure the parts at the top together at the top center and stitches or other securing means I 9 and. 20 may secure the gathered bottom parts together under the loops 5 and 5 to form the wing pieces II and I2.

The elastic

parallel edges

2 and 3, as may be seen in Fig. 1, are provided with the usual covered rubber or other elastic material commonly used in the manufacture of hair nets. The rubber or the like may be knitted into and thus secured to the

edges

2 and 3 in numerous ways, depending on the density of the mesh and the thickness of the threads of the hair net. The selvage edges 1 and 8 are parallel to each other and parallel to the elastic marginal edges and disposed midway therebetween.

In wearing my hair net, the wing pieces H and I2 are crossed at the back of the neck and the elastic loops 5 and 6 are brought around to the front to engage the button '4.

The construction is herein described in detail to make my invention more easily understood. I do not wish, however, to be limited to this detailed construction, as those skilled in the art of hair nets, after a study of this disclosure, may see that the details maybe modified without depart- 1. In a hair net comprising mesh material having elastic parallel side edges, 21. pair of selvage edges disposed at each side .of the longitudinal centerline of said material and having stitches unitingsaid selvage edges a substantial distance along said selvage edges, wing pieces having parallel sides, one of said sides being a continua-- tionof said elastic parallel side edges and the other of said parallel sides of said wing pieces being a continuation of one of said selvage edges beyond said stitches, said wing pieces dispos ed where said selvage edges are not united.

2; In a hair net formed of materialhafving a: net like mesh and parallel elastic marginaledges,

a pair of selvage edges connectedby crossstiths between said selvage edges, said selvage edges be- 20 thematerial and one of each of the selvage edges ing disposed between and parallel to said elastic marginal edges, wing pieces at one end of said, material; said selvage edges forming marginal, edges of said wing pieces for a part of the length" :V.-'Ic onnectingsaid selvage edges for a distancebetween the ends of the material of said "hair net,"a'nd means securing each one of the of said material of said hair net, the remaining part of said hair net having said cross stitches connecting said selvage edges for a substantial distance between the ends of the material of said hair net.

3. In a hair net formed of material having a net like mesh and parallel elastic marginal edges, a pair of selvage edges connected by cross stitches between said selvage edges, said selvage edges being disposed between and parallel to said elastic marginaledges, wing pieces at one end of said material, said selvage edges forming marginal eldges of said wing pieces for a part of the length a of .said materialof said hair net, the remaining of said hair net having said cross stitches substantial elasti'cedges and one of each bottom endedge of to form the endof one of each of said wing pieces.
