View Patent ↗A perspiration diverting headband is provided having a flexible tubing having a first and second end, an elastic band, wherein the band is disposed within the tubing, a first connector coupled to a first end of the tubing, and a second connector coupled to a second end of the tubing, wherein the first and second connector secure the elastic band and tubing, and a slidable tension fastener configured to secure the elastic band. In addition, the tubing can be flexible tubing that is cylindrical in cross-section. Further, the flexible tubing can be configured to divert perspiration fluids away from a forehead region to a temple region of a user's head. Further, the headband can be simple to use and adjust, simple to manufacture, made of light weight moisture resistant and anti-microbial material, hygienic, and can be customized and configured to any shape, color, or design.
1. A perspiration diverting headband, comprising:
a flexible tubing having a first end and a second end;
an elastic band, wherein the elastic band is disposed within the tubing from the first end to the second end, and wherein the elastic band extends through and out the first and second ends;
a first tubular connector secured to the first end of the tubing and at least partially disposed over the elastic band and having a length that extends longitudinally relative to the elastic band, wherein the elastic band further extends through and out the first tubular connector, and the elastic band configured to at least partially slide within and relative to the first connector;
a second tubular connector secured to the second end of the tubing and at least partially disposed over the elastic band and having a length that extends longitudinally relative to the elastic band, wherein the elastic band further extends through and out the second tubular connector, and the elastic band configured to at least partially slide within and relative to the second connector;
wherein the first and second connector secure the elastic band and tubing; and
a slidable tension fastener configured to secure the elastic band around a user's head, the slidable tension fastener configured to engage and disengage the elastic band; and
an end piece configured to secure one or more ends of the elastic band.
2. The perspiration diverting headband of claim 1 , wherein the flexible tubing is cylindrical.
3. The perspiration diverting headband of claim 1 , wherein the flexible tubing is configured to divert perspiration fluids away from a forehead region to a side region of a user's head.
4. The perspiration diverting headband of claim 1 , wherein the slidable tension fastener receives the ends of the elastic band.
5. The perspiration diverting headband of claim 1 , wherein the first and second connector further comprise a first region and a second region, wherein the elastic band is secured in the second region and wherein the elastic band is configured to slide with respect to the second region.
6.
