Disposable headrest cover with improved attaching means

Claim 1

A disposable headrest cover comprising a sheet of material for covering an area of a headrest, detachable fastening means near the upper end of the cover in position to engage a multitude of hooks in closely spaced rows and extending from and permanently secured to the headrest, said fastening means comprising a yarn-like material of a cross section too large to engage the hooks, but formed of a bunch of filaments extending between the sides of the cover and along a tortuous path between parallel lines that extend widthwise of the cover, said tortuous path of the yarn-like material extending back and forth across the area between the parallel lines and having reverse bends where the yarn-like material changes its direction from one parallel line toward the other, the yarn-like material between successive bends substantially touching the material between the next bends whereby the yarn-like material covers most of the surface of the area of the headrest cover between said parallel lines, and the individual filaments of the yarn-like material being of a cross section small enough to engage the hooks and being loosely related to one another so that the yarn-like material is fluffy for easier entanglement of the hooks in the material, and a plurality of rows of stitching extending generally parallel to said parallel lines and that hold the yarnlike material secured to the cover, the stitching extending over the filaments of the yarn-like material and through the sheet at locations which hold the filaments in position along the tortuous path between said parallel lines with filaments of the yarn-like material between the stitches exposed for enganglement with the hooks on the headrest when the yarn-like material is pressed against the hooks on the headrest.
