Abstract
Abstract An easily drapable head covering is constructed in the form of a generally triangular scarf with elongated ends. The triangular shape conforms to a shallow isosceles triangle in which the base is substantially longer than either side and in which the apex is preferably contoured rather than forming a peak. A central segment of the scarf is elasticized to provide a head enclosure and a loop is attached at each side at an intermediate point between the base and sides to permit passage of the ends therethrough at each side and to further permit reverse passage of opposite ends through the opposite loop when the scarf is assembled on the head of a wearer with the ends tied together in any desired position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A head covering comprising a generally triangular shaped piece of flexible fabric material having a base length substantially greater than the height thus providing an enlarged central area and elongated ends, a crown portion defined by a strip of elasticized material coupled to the fabric material and which in the relaxed state forms a head enclosing area within the central area of the triangular piece, and a pair of loops each of which is attached to the fabric at a point between the crown portion and the elongated end adapted to receive said ends therethrough.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A head covering comprising a generally triangular shaped piece of flexible fabric material having a base length substantially greater than the height thus providing an enlarged central area and elongated ends, a crown portion defined by a strip of elasticized material coupled to the fabric material and which in the relaxed state forms a head enclosing area within the central area of the triangular piece, and a pair of loops each of which is attached to the fabric at a point between the crown portion and the elongated end adapted to receive said ends therethrough.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A head covering according to claim 1 wherein the loop is attached to the fabric by means of a cord of desired length.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A head covering according to claim 2 wherein each end is drawn through the loop adjacent thereto.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A head covering according to claim 3 wherein the ends are tied together in a knot.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A head covering according to claim 3 wherein the ends are drawn through adjacent loops and then in reversed position drawn through the loops on the opposite side to define on a structure with overlapping end portions, with the ends extending therethrough.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A head covering according to claim 5 wherein the ends are tied together in a knot.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
112 words
A head covering comprising a generally triangular piece of fabric having an elongated base substantially greater than its height providing a central enlarged area and elongated ends, a crown portion defined by an elastic band coupled to the fabric and which in the relaxed position conforms to the head of a wearer, and a pair of loops each of which is attached to the fabric at a point between the crown portion and the elongated end, said head covering being positioned on the head of a wearer with the elongated ends drawn through the loops adjacent thereto and tied in a knot at a desired point around the head of the wearer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
112 words
A head covering comprising a generally triangular piece of fabric having an elongated base substantially greater than its height providing a central enlarged area and elongated ends, a crown portion defined by an elastic band coupled to the fabric and which in the relaxed position conforms to the head of a wearer, and a pair of loops each of which is attached to the fabric at a point between the crown portion and the elongated end, said head covering being positioned on the head of a wearer with the elongated ends drawn through the loops adjacent thereto and tied in a knot at a desired point around the head of the wearer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
A head covering according to claim 7 wherein the elongated ends which pass through the loops are reversed and extend over the head and through the loop attached to the opposite end to form an overlapping assembly.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
A head covering according to claim 8 wherein the ends are tied together for form a knot.
