Headband Hair Pouch Accessory
Abstract
A headband sewn to a pouch that contains the hair away from the
face and neck without added due pressure or restraint from using
additional hair accessories such as pins, barrettes, rubber bands,
hard headbands or scunchies, for the wearer to wear either at home,
going out to run errands, exercise, to work as a hair restraint or
attend an evening out. Made with any light breathable fabric
material, cut into two rectangular pieces of different proportion
and two pieces of elastic of different proportion all sewn
together. The wearer pulls it over the head and around the neck,
removing the hair from under the pouch and letting it rest over the
pouch. The headband is then pulled and placed over the top of the
head, then gathering all the hair as if doing a ponytail and
twirling as if doing a bun and placing the hair in the pouch
loosely, containing all the hair away from the face and neck of the
wearer.

material such as cotton, lace, silk, nylon or any other type of
light fabric material matching or otherwise cut into two pieces in
a rectangular shape of different proportion with a piece of elastic

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The headband hair pouch accessory relates to a hair wrap or
headband made of fabric only it is both, co-joined together to be
one piece. It keeps the hair tucked away from the face and neck
when the wearer decides to wear it either to stay at home,
exercise, go out to run errands, as a work head covering or to go
out for the evening. It can be worn in a decorative manner to make
a fashion statement or professionally worn in any work environment
such as hospitals, food facilities, beauty salons, dance schools
and professional offices that require the hair to be covered and
contained. Many professional environment require the usage of caps
or hats which does not contain the length of the hair and it holds
a lot of heat, causing the wearer to perspire. The headband hair
pouch accessory allows the hair and scalp to breathe while
containing the hair.
[0004] The following U.S. patents referenced to the headband hair
pouch accessory disclose similar head coverings but their purpose
is to create a ponytail, bun or chignon as well as being limited to
wearing it in the confinement of the home, whereas this present
invention is to eliminate the need for ponytail or hair
constriction not having to use any hairpins, rubber band or any
other tight restriction to the hair and scalp and it is not limited
to the confinement of the home. With the present invention the hair
is tucked in a small pouch leaving the hair loose which can be
decorated with rhinestones, beads, sequin and other decorative
material. As well as with the headband hair pouch accessory not one
size fits all due to the different hair length therefore several
sizes of small, medium, large, extra small or extra large can be
designed thus providing the different cut size of material for that
purpose. Also the headband hair pouch is cut into two pieces of
fabric material in a rectangular shape of different proportion with
a piece of elastic of different proportion inserted in each of the
pieces but only on one side of the larger piece.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The headband hair pouch accessory is designed to keep hair
away from the face and neck while containing loose strands without
the use of pins, barrettes, hard headbands, rubber band or
scrunchies. The headband hair pouch accessory is a head band with a
pouch. It can be adorned with beads, rhinestones and any other
decorative material to enhance the appearance but to also add some
variety and make different styles. The idea is to do it with very
light breathable fabrics such as cotton, lace, nylon, etc. The idea
is also extremely simple and cost effective. With one yard of
fabric, at least ten pieces can be produced. The design requires
two pieces of fabric of different proportion and two pieces of
elastic of different proportion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0020] The band fabric (FIG. 1.1) and elastic (FIG. 1.2) can be cut
in different lengths and widths depending on the size of the head,
tightness and design trying to achieve, with the elastic being
shorter than the fabric. The band fabric is folded in half tucking
the hem in lengthwise, then being sewn on both side (FIG. 1.3) to
create a flat strip allowing the center to open and insert the
elastic (FIG. 1.4), ruffling the fabric (FIG. 1.5) due to the
difference in length of the fabric and elastic.
[0021] The pouch fabric (FIG. 2.6) and elastic (FIG. 2.7) can be
cut in different lengths and widths depending on the size, style
and design trying to achieve, with the elastic being shorter than
the fabric. The hems are sewn individually along the length of each
side of the pouch fabric (FIG. 2.8), allowing a small space on both
side where the elastic is inserted (FIG. 2.9) on one side only,
causing the fabric to ruffle (FIG. 2.10) due to the shortness of
the elastic while the other side remains straight (FIG. 2.11) to be
folded in the center, creating a double fold sewn together (FIG.
2.12) which allows both sides to be even in length (FIG. 2.13).
[0022] The fabric is then turned inside out gathering two corners
on one side of the pouch with one end of the band to be sewn
together, then repeated on the other side (FIG. 3), completing the
headband hair pouch accessory, turned to its wearable form showing
side view (FIG. 4), front view (FIG. 5) and back view (FIG. 6).
