Abstract

A hair band ( 1 ) comprises a strip-shaped carrier structure ( 2 ) and several hairs ( 4 ) which extend from the carrier structure ( 2 ) in a main direction ( 5 ) running perpendicular to the direction ( 3 ) of main extension of the carrier structure ( 2 ). The ends ( 8 ) of single hairs are stitched through the elastic foil ( 6 ) forming the outer layer of the carrier structure ( 2 ) and fixed to the carrier structure ( 2 ) by gluing them to the foil ( 6 ) only. The fixed ends of the hairs ( 4 ), at the back side of the foil ( 6 ), also run in the main direction ( 5 ) of the hairs ( 4 ).

Claims (28)

1. A hair band comprising:

a strip-shaped carrier structure having an elastic foil forming an outer layer of the carrier structure, and having a direction of main extension; and

several hairs having ends fixed to the carrier structure, and extending straight through from the carrier structure in a main direction running perpendicular to the direction of main extension of the carrier structure;

wherein the ends of the hairs are individually stitched through the foil forming the outer layer of the carrier structure, the hairs individually stitched through in a two-dimensional distribution of stitching through points and are fixed to the carrier structure by a glue-bond to the back side of the foil only, the fixed ends of the hairs, at the back side of the foil, running straight through in the main direction of the hairs from the glue-bond of their ends through the foil to the main direction of the hairs generally perpendicular to the direction of the main extension of the carrier structure.

2. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the ends of the hairs, at the back side of the foil, are shortened to 3 mm at maximum.

3. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the ends of the hairs, at the back side of the foil, are shortened to, particularly to 2 mm at maximum.

4. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure has a length in its direction of main extension of 5 cm at maximum, and a width along the main direction of the hairs of 10 mm at maximum.

5. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure has a length in its direction of main extension of 4 cm at maximum, and a width along the main direction of the hairs of 8 mm at maximum.

6. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the foil is a matte plastic foil.

7. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the foil is a matte polyurethane foil.

8. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the hairs are natural hairs anti-hygroscopically sealed in the glue-bond.

9. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the hairs are natural hairs extend from the carrier structure in a natural root-to-tip direction.

10. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the ends of the hairs are stitched through the foil in a non-uniform two-dimensional distribution of stitching through points.

11. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the ends of the hairs are embedded in a glue gluing them to the foil.

12. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein the ends of the hairs are covered with a cover layer at the back side of the foil.

13. The hair band of claim 12 , wherein the cover layer is a single-layered cover netting.

14. The hair band of claim 1 , wherein an adhesive layer is provided at the back side of the carrier structure.

15. The hair band of claim 14 , wherein the adhesive layer is provided with a removable cover layer.

16. The hair band of claim 14 , wherein the adhesive layer is removable.

17. The hair band of claim 16 , wherein the adhesive layer is made of a continuous glue strip which is adhesive at both of its faces.

18. A hair band comprising:

a strip-shaped carrier structure having a matte elastic plastic foil forming an outer layer of the carrier structure, and having a direction of main extension; and

several hairs having ends fixed to the carrier structure, and extending straight through the carrier structure in a main direction running perpendicular to the direction of main extension of the carrier structure;

wherein the ends of the hairs are individually stitched through the foil forming the outer layer of the carrier structure, the hairs individually stitched through in a two-dimensional distribution of stitching through points, and the ends of the hairs are fixed to the carrier structure by a glue-bond to the back side of the foil only, the fixed ends of the hairs, at the back side of the foil, running straight through in the main direction of the hairs from the glue-bond of their ends through the foil to the main direction of the hairs generally perpendicular to the main extension of the carrier structure;

wherein the ends of the hairs, at the back side of the foil, are shortened to 3 mm at maximum;

wherein the carrier structure has a length in its direction of main extension of 5 cm at maximum, and a width along the main direction of the hairs of 10 mm at maximum;

wherein the ends of the hairs are covered with a single-layered cover netting at the back side of the foil; and

wherein a removable adhesive layer made of a continuous glue strip which is adhesive at both of its faces and provided with a removable cover layer at one of its faces is attached to the back side of the carrier structure.
