Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
RELATED APPLICATION DATA [0001] The present application is a non-provisional application based on, and claims the priority benefit of, co-pending U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/643,198, which was filed on Jan. 12, 2005, and is expressly incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to a head band and, more particularly, to a head band including a securing device for aiding retention of the head band on the user's head. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [0003] Head bands or head wraps as they are interchangeably referred to, are know in the art, and are used in various manners. For example, some head bands form a continuous loop and may be constructed from a terrycloth or similar material. These types of head bands are used for collecting beads of sweat on the user's head during physical exertion, such as exercise. Other types of head bands form a horseshoe shape and may be constructed from a plastic or similar material. These types of head bands are used for pulling back a user's hair such that, for example, the user's hair is removed from the user's face. The head bands may also be used for decorative reasons. [0004] These and similar retaining types of head bands or head wraps, however, have a tendency to loosen and become dislodged during use and/or create pressure and corresponding pain on the user's head from the tightness of the head band or head wrap when configured to remain in place during physical exertion by the wearer. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [0005] In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, a hair band having an elongate semi-circular body and a securing device is disclosed. The elongate semi-circular body is configured to be placed on and conform to the contour of a user's head, and includes an inner surface that is adjacent the user's hair, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The securing device is disposed on the inner surface of the body. The securing device is configured to engage the user's hair and secure the hair band to the user's head more securely than the material from which the body is constructed. [0006] In accordance with another aspect of the disclosure, a hair band having an elongate body and a securing device is disclosed. The elongate body is configured to be placed on and conform to the contour of a user's head and includes an inner surface that is adjacent the user's hair, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, and a first end opposite a second end. The securing device is disposed between the first and second ends of the elongate body and includes a plurality of flexible teeth configured to receive the user's hair therebetween. [0007] In accordance with another aspect of the disclosure, a hair band having an elongate body, an opening, and a pocket is disclosed. The elongate body includes an inner surface adjacent the user's hair when worn on a head of the user, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The pocket is disposed on the body and is accessible through an opening. The pocket is for retaining one or more objects.
