Claim 2

An inner rim of a cap comprising a band having parallel inner and outer surfaces and a forehead portion, a plurality of spaced scalp massaging rigid projecting members extending from said inner surface of said band only at locations other than said forehead portion, said plurality of rigid projecting members being disposed in rows which are arranged longitudinally along said band, said rows being staggered relative to each other for preventing the hairs from being contacted directly by said band, whereby said scalp massaging rigid projecting members provide a therapeutic effect on the scalp by direct massaging caused by the contact made by said rigid projecting members with the scalp, said spaced rigid projecting members providing for the passage of some air therebetween for ventilation purposes, a forehead supported disposed at said forehead portion on said inner surface of said band, said forehead supporter having a single continuous inner surface for engagement with a forehead of a human body and a single continuous outer surface parallel to said continuous inner surface, said continuous outer surface of said forehead supporter being parallel to said inner surface of said band and attached directly thereto, and fastener means for forming said band into a substantially circular form whereby said band may be worn upon a human head.

Claim 3

The inner rim of the cap of claim 1 wherein the height of said projecting members is about 1 to 3 mm.

Claim 4

The inner rim of the cap of claim 2 wherein the height of said projecting members is the same as the height of the forehead supporter.

Claim 5

The inner rim of the cap of claim 1 wherein the fastener member is of the locking type.

Claim 6

The inner rim of the cap of claim 1 wherein the fastener member is of the hook-type.

Claim 7

The inner rim of a cap of claim 1 wherein said rigid projecting members are located to substantially encompass said band with the exception of said forehead portion.

Claim 8

A cap containing an inner rim comprising a band attached to the inside of the cap, said band having parallel inner and outer surfaces and a forehead portion, a plurality of spaced scalp massaging rigid projecting members extending from said inner surface of said band only at locations other than said forehead portion, said plurality of rigid projecting members being disposed in rows which are arranged longitudinally along said band, said rows being staggered relative to each other for preventing the hairs from being contacted directly by said band, whereby said scalp massaging rigid projecting members provide a therapeutic effect on the scalp by direct massaging caused by the contact made by said rigid projecting members with the scalp, said spaced rigid projecting members provide for the passage of some air therebetween for ventilation purposes, a forehead supported disposed at said forehead portion on said inner surface of said band, said forehead supporter having a single continuous inner surface for engagement with a forehead of a human body and a single continuous outer surface parallel to said continuous inner surface, said continuous outer surface of said forehead supporter being parallel to said inner surface of said band and fastened thereto, and fastener means for forming said band into a substantially circular form whereby said band may be worn upon a human head.

Claim 9

A cap containing an inner rim comprising a band attached to the inside of the cap, said band having parallel inner and outer surfaces and a forehead portion, a plurality of spaced scalp massaging rigid projecting members extending from said inner surface of said band only at locations other than said forehead portion, said plurality of rigid projecting members being disposed in rows which are arranged longitudinally along said band, said rows being staggered relative to each other for preventing the hairs from being contacted directly by said band, whereby said scalp massaging rigid projecting members provide a therapeutic effect on the scalp by direct massaging caused by the contact made by said rigid projecting members with the scalp, said spaced rigid projecting members provide for the passage of some air therebetween for ventilation purposes, a forehead supported disposed at said forehead portion on said inner surface of said band, said forehead supporter having a single continuous inner surface for engagement with a forehead of a human body and a single continuous outer surface parallel to said continuous inner surface, said continuous outer surface of said forehead supporter being parallel to said inner surface of said band and fastened thereto, and fastener means for forming said band into a substantially circular form whereby said band may be worn upon a human head.
