Appl. No.:

10/792565

Inventors:

Deborah Lawson - Audubon NJ, US

International Classification:

A45D008/12

US Classification:

132275000

Abstract:

This invention discloses an inexpensive foldable decorative hair band, which can be worn like sunglasses, pushed up above the forehead, comprising two sunglasses temple earpieces attached by folding sunglasses hinges to the opposite ends of a slightly outwardly bowed bridging strip section that fits across the wearer's forehead, and a decorative plate, which fits onto and over this bridging strip, and which has a design on its outer surface. The bridging strip section is provided with an indented channel on each of its lateral spanning edges, giving it the appearance of a flattened train rail. The decorative plate is formed into partly open sleeve channel by having its parallel lateral edge sections bent under its bottom surface, thus having the cross section of a flattened letter “C”. These inward directed edges engage the channels on the bridging strip when the decorative plate is slid over this bridging strip forming a snug connection between these two sections. These sections are sufficiently flexible to be easily connected and disconnected so that the decorative plate can be replaced with another, having a different decoration, as the wearer desires. Means are also provided to hold these sections stably together and keep them from sliding apart as long as the wearer requires. Except for the hinges, this hair band can be manufactured primarily out of a semi-elastic, flexible material such as plastic.

Abstract:

A lighted headband includes an upper plate and side temples pivotally attached thereto. The plate is made of a transparent or translucent material capable of functioning as a wave guide for visible light. A plurality of indentations is formed in the upper surface of said plate and extend partially through the thickness of said plate. The bottom surface of the plate includes recesses for holding a plurality of LED's. The upper surface of the plate and the side walls of the indentations are covered with an opaque material that prevents light from passing through the upper surface of the plate except in the areas of the indentations.
