This invention teaches a low cost, breathable, light weight, soft, disposable elastic structure with surface properties that are characterized by a controlled irregularity of the pleats or shirrs that make up the broad surfaces of the structure. The structure is a layered structure with outer layers of low basis weight breathable material, a central elastic layer, and an adhesive layer that serves to join all the layers together to form a unitary elastic structure. |

A headband device fo absorbing liquids used with hair dressing treatments. A fluid impervious barrier layer is formed into a strip which extends for a distance greater than the circumference of the head. The strip has a width sufficient to define an absorbent region and a sealing region. Also provided is an adhesive layer applied to the absorbent region of the inside of the strip. A layer of superabsorbent material is placed in the absorbent region of the strip and is held in place by the adhesive. A moisture pervious fibrous stock is attached to the strip to cover the super absorbent and is exposed on the inside of the strip for contact with the head. The sealing region of the strip is bonded to the fibrous stock along the length of the strip and at the terminal ends. Flow of liquids such as perm solutions are limited to the absorbent region solely through the fibrous stock. The device is adjustable for fastening to a person's head to absorb hair coloring agents, perm solutions and the like. |

A head guard, preferably annular brow-band, comprising a longitudinal, preferably annular unit (2) which completely or substantially is made of cellular plastic. In order to ensure that all parts of the head guard provide adequate protection, the cellular-plastic unit (2) has depressions (12, 13) which protrude into the cellular-plastic material alternately from an inner side (14a) and an outer side (14b) respectively, of the unit, which inner side (14a) and outer side (14b) respectively, faces inwardly towards and outwardly from the head (15) respectively, whereby the depressions (12, 13) define cellular-plastic pads (16) with shock-absorbing properties and extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction (L) of the cellular-plastic unit (2) and whereby the cellular-plastic pads (16) and the connecting portions (17) connecting the pads together permit a limited stretching or elongation of the cellular-plastic unit (2) in its longitudinal direction (L) for providing at least one elastic portion (8-11) for adaptation to the size and/or shape of the cellular-plastic unit (2) and to the size and/or shape of the head (15) (FIG. 2). A simple and efficient method for manufacturing the cellular-plastic unit (2), includes pressing heated blades (24, 25) into the cellular-plastic unit (2) to provide depressions (12, 13) therein and bringing warm processing devices in contact with other parts of the cellular-plastic unit such that the unit receives a surface which is less porous than the portion disposed below the surface. |

The device described herein comprises a sweatband adapted to collect sweat from the forehead of a runner or other exerciser and optionally to feed the collected sweat to a tube running down to the runner's mouth so that the salt and water given off in the sweat may be returned to the body. If it is not desired to return the sweat to the runner's mouth, it may be allowed to run off away from the runner's face. The sweatband has one or more grooved strips which have the open portion of the groove (or grooves) facing upward or toward the runner's forehead and adapted to collect sweat running down the forehead. The grooves may feed into a tube or groove which runs downward to a mouthpiece to be inserted into the runner's mouth and the sweat fed into the runner's mouth through an opening in the mouthpiece. The tube may have openings therein or actually comprise a groove slanted forward and downward on the face so that facial sweat may also be collected. |

A stretchable knitted article of predominately terry loop construction, e.g., an athletic headband, with a design printed thereon, includes a knitted fabric of single jersey construction the reverse side of which has a predominant terry loop region bordering an integrally knit smaller reverse-side plain jersey region. The plain jersey region is oriented in the article for coursewise stretching such that the sinker loop and needle loop crests of the yarn thereof are substantially the only visible yarn portions in both the stretched and unstretched conditions of the article. The design is printed on the plain region whereby it maintains its definition and continuity of appearance when stretched in ordinary use. |
