Abstract

A headband with two slots adapted to accommodate the arms of a pair of glasses where the arms are fully contained within pockets leading into the headband.

Claims (12)

1. A headband comprising:

A first slot formed between two first overlapping segments of a fabric and a second slot formed between two second overlapping segments of the fabric, whereby the said first slot and the second slot are spaced apart from one another at a length equal to the distance between two opposing arms of a pair of glasses when said two opposing arms are fully extended;

a first pocket formed through the first slot by folding and connecting two first sections of the first overlapping segments of the fabric on top of one another, yet leaving a first unconnected section between the two first sections of the first overlapping segments of the fabric with a diameter at least as large as the diameter of a first arm of the pair of glasses;

a second pocket formed through the second slot by folding and connecting two second sections of the second overlapping segments of the fabric on top of one another, yet leaving a second unconnected section between the two second sections of the second overlapping segments of the fabric with a diameter at least as large as the diameter of a second arm of the pair of glasses; and

the fabric is a circular band that is capable of wrapping around the entire circumference of a wearer's head.

2. The headband of claim 1 wherein the headband is secured to a wearer's head by tying the fabric in a knot to secure it to a wearer's head.

3. A headband comprising:

A first slot formed between two first overlapping segments of two fabrics and a second slot formed between two second overlapping segments of the two fabrics, whereby the said first slot and the second slot are spaced apart from one another at a length equal to the distance between two opposing arms of a pair of glasses when said two opposing arms are fully extended;

a first pocket formed through the first slot by folding and connecting two first sections of the first overlapping segments of the two fabrics on top of one another, yet leaving a first unconnected section between the two first sections of the first overlapping segments of the two fabrics with a diameter at least as large as the diameter of a first arm of the pair of glasses;

a second pocket formed through the second slot by folding and connecting two second sections of the second overlapping segments of the two fabrics on top of one another, yet leaving a second unconnected section between the two second sections of the second overlapping segments of the two fabrics with a diameter at least as large as the diameter of a second arm of the pair of glasses; and

the fabrics are circular bands that are capable of wrapping around the entire circumference of a wearer's head.

4. The headband of claim 3 wherein the headband is secured to a wearer's head by tying the two overlapping fabrics in a knot to secure it to a wearer's head.
