Abstract
A wig having a body with an inside surface for engaging a user's head and an outside surface. The outside surface has hair strands projecting therefrom. The body is placeable in an operative position on the user's head to cover at least a portion of the user's scalp so that the projecting strands give the appearance of natural hair. Through securing structure, the body is reconfigured to allow at least a part of the body to be borne against the user's head with a selectively variable pressure with the body in the operative position.
Claims22
A wig comprising:
- a body having an inside surface for engaging a user's head and an outside surface that is exposed with the wig worn by a user,
- the outside surface having hair strands woven thereinto and projecting therefrom,
- the body placeable in an operative position on a user's head to cover at least a portion of a user's scalp so that the projecting strands give the appearance of natural hair;
- and
- securing structure through which the body is reconfigured to allow at least a part of the body to be borne against a user's head with a selectively variable pressure with the body in the operative position,
- wherein the body has a front wall that is contiguous with spaced first and second side walls, the front and first and second side walls defining a rearwardly opening “U” shape,
- wherein the first and second side walls have rear portions that are overlapped with each other with the body in the operative position to different degrees to thereby vary an effective encircling diameter of the body,
- wherein the securing structure overlies the overlapped rear portions.
The wig according to claim 21 wherein the body has a front wall that is contiguous with spaced first and second side walls, the front and first and second side walls defining a rearwardly opening “U” shape.
(canceled)
A wig comprising:
- a body having an inside surface for engaging a user's head and an outside surface,
- the outside surface having hair strands projecting therefrom, the body placeable in an operative position on a user's head to cover at least a portion of a user's scalp so that the projecting strands give the appearance of natural hair;
- and
- securing structure through which the body is reconfigured to allow at least a part of the body to be borne against a user's head with a selectively variable pressure with the body in the operative position,
- wherein the body has a front wall that is contiguous with spaced first and second side walls, the front and first and second side walls defining a rearwardly opening “U” shape,
- wherein the first and second side walls have rear portions that are overlapped with each other with the body in the operative position,
- wherein the securing structure comprises separate components, on the first and second side walls, that cooperate with each other to allow the body to be borne against a user's head with a selectively variable pressure with the body in the operative position,
- wherein the separate components are each straps that can be tied together,
- wherein the body has a multi-layer construction with a first material defining at least a part of the inside surface and a second material, different than the first material, defining at least a part of the outside surface from which the hair strands project,
- wherein at least one of the straps has inside and outside surface portions made from a material that is different than the second material.
A wig comprising:
- a body having a front, a rear, an inside surface for engaging a user's head and an outside surface,
- the outside surface made from a mesh material and having hair strands woven into the mesh material and projecting therefrom,
- the body placeable in an operative position on a user's head to cover at least a portion of a user's scalp so that the projecting strands give the appearance of natural hair;
- and
- securing structure through which the body is reconfigured to allow at least a part of the body to be borne against a user's head with a selectively variable pressure with the body in the operative position,
- wherein the body is in the form of a band that extends fully around a user's head,
- the band having a width between top and bottom edges,
- the user's head exposed above the top edge with the body in the operative position.
