Abstract
The hairpiece base invention relates to hairpieces and in particular to a improved base which renders the hair piece virtually undetectable to sight and to touch. The invention comprises a mesh and a mesh binder. The mesh affords structural strength in the lateral plane, and it serves as an anchor for artificial hairs. The mesh binder fills the region between the mesh strands, and its thickness is approximately equal to the diameter of the mesh strands. At the perimeter of the base, the mesh binder edge may be tapered in thickness.
Claims16
A hairpiece comprising a base to which hairs are affixed and an attachment means for affixing the base to the scalp, wherein said base comprises a mesh and elastomer composite section with mesh strands interwoven among each other, thereby defining voids between said strands and binder regions occupying at least a portion of said voids, wherein the thickness of said binder regions is uniformly and substantially equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the mesh strands thereby minimizing the overall thickness of the base.
