Abstract
Abstract A head scarf construction embodying the cooperation of a ply of fabric in a triangulated shape and a stiffened triangulated component connected in positions to bring the base margins of the triangles into alignment, the addition of surface decorations for the triangulated shapes to develop simulations of birds or animals, and tie elements for securing the scarf to the wearer's head.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A head scarf designed to represent a predetermined object, said scarf comprising: (a) a body portion of a fabric ply in the shape of a triangulated area defined by three margins, one of which is a principal margin and the other two margins angularly converge to meet at a principal apex which is substantially centered to a mid-point of the principal margin; (b) a nose portion of a fabric ply rectangular in shape in initial flat plan, said rectangularly shaped fabric ply having portions folded inwardly upon itself to form a triangulated area defined by two folded margins angularly converging to meet at an apex and a third elongated margin; said inwardly folded portions having adjacent edges substantially aligned with said principal apex and other margins lying in substantial registry with said elongated margin; (c) tie means extending along said principal margin of said body portion and having opposite free ends extending beyond said principal margin, whereby said free ends may be tied at the back of the head; and (d) means fixing said tie means, said nose portion elongated margin and said other margins lying in registry with said elongated margin to said principal margin of said body portion with said nose portion overlying said body portion, said nose portion being free to be rotated about said principal margin to an extended position relative to said body portions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
229 words
A head scarf designed to represent a predetermined object, said scarf comprising: (a) a body portion of a fabric ply in the shape of a triangulated area defined by three margins, one of which is a principal margin and the other two margins angularly converge to meet at a principal apex which is substantially centered to a mid-point of the principal margin; (b) a nose portion of a fabric ply rectangular in shape in initial flat plan, said rectangularly shaped fabric ply having portions folded inwardly upon itself to form a triangulated area defined by two folded margins angularly converging to meet at an apex and a third elongated margin; said inwardly folded portions having adjacent edges substantially aligned with said principal apex and other margins lying in substantial registry with said elongated margin; (c) tie means extending along said principal margin of said body portion and having opposite free ends extending beyond said principal margin, whereby said free ends may be tied at the back of the head; and (d) means fixing said tie means, said nose portion elongated margin and said other margins lying in registry with said elongated margin to said principal margin of said body portion with said nose portion overlying said body portion, said nose portion being free to be rotated about said principal margin to an extended position relative to said body portions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The head scarf set forth in claim 1 wherein said inwardly folded portions present a triangulated area having an interrupted surface and an opposite uninterrupted surface, said adjacent edges of said inwardly folded portions being free to provide an access opening beneath said inwardly folded portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
The head scarf set forth in claim 1 wherein said nose portion is initially fixed to said body portion with its inwardly folded portions presented to said body portion, and rick-rack is connected to each of said two folded margins of said nose portion for simulating teeth with said nose portion rotated out so as to extend from the principal margin of said body portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The head scarf set forth in claim 1 wherein said body and nose portions are positioned with said principal margin and said third elongated margin in overlying registration and with said apex of said nose portion in substantial alignment with said apex of said body portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
198 words
A combined head scarf and sport head covering comprising: (a) a body portion of a fabric material to form a head covering, said material having a triangular shape in flat plan, one edge thereof constituting a principal margin of the body portion which is substantially straight; (b) a second body portion of a fabric material foldable into a triangular shape in flat plan, one margin thereof being substantially straight and serving as a base margin of said second body, said second body portion having certain portions of the fabric material folded onto other portions of the fabric material, said certain folded portions having a pair of edges in spaced adjacency and directed to align substantially perpendicularly to said one substantially straight margin; (c) tie means extending along said principal margin and said one substantially straight margin, said tie means having oppositely extending free ends; and (d) means connecting said tie means to both of said principal and one straight margins for initially positioning said second body portion with said pair of spaced edges facing said body portion, said connecting means establishing a fold line for rotating said second body portion into position exposing said pair of spaced edges.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
198 words
A combined head scarf and sport head covering comprising: (a) a body portion of a fabric material to form a head covering, said material having a triangular shape in flat plan, one edge thereof constituting a principal margin of the body portion which is substantially straight; (b) a second body portion of a fabric material foldable into a triangular shape in flat plan, one margin thereof being substantially straight and serving as a base margin of said second body, said second body portion having certain portions of the fabric material folded onto other portions of the fabric material, said certain folded portions having a pair of edges in spaced adjacency and directed to align substantially perpendicularly to said one substantially straight margin; (c) tie means extending along said principal margin and said one substantially straight margin, said tie means having oppositely extending free ends; and (d) means connecting said tie means to both of said principal and one straight margins for initially positioning said second body portion with said pair of spaced edges facing said body portion, said connecting means establishing a fold line for rotating said second body portion into position exposing said pair of spaced edges.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
92 words
The combined head scarf and sport head covering set forth in claim 5 wherein said second body portion is constructed initially of a square ply of fabric characterized by said one substantially straight margin, diagonal fold lines crossing centrally of the square shape and two fold lines intersecting the central crossing of the diagonal fold lines and extending substantially parallel to said one substantially straight margin with said two fold lines folded into adjacent positions and said diagonal fold lines folded into overlying adjacency at substantially 45° to said two folded lines.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
The combined head scarf and sport head covering set forth in claim 5 wherein a ply of stiffening material of triangular shape is inserted into said second body portion of fabric material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim

The combined head scarf and sport head covering set forth in claim 5 wherein said second body portion of fabric foldable into a triangular shape is further characterized by a plurality of folds whereby one exposed surface of the fabric is an isosceles triangle having said base margin and the opposite exposed surface is also an isosceles triangle having a base margin different from said first mentioned base margin.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
48 words
The combined head scarf and sport head covering set forth in claim 5 wherein a preshaped ply of fabric is secured to said first mentioned body portion adjacent said principal margin, said preshaped ply being sized to cooperate with said second body portion to respresent a predetermined character.
