Accordingly, a perspiration band 10 is shown to include a rectangular configurated strip 11, which is fabricated of a suitable terrycloth material, that is easily washed, so as to be sanitary. A plurality of equally spaced-apart male snap fasteners 12 are fixedly secured near the top longitudinal side edge 13 of strip 11, and a similar number of female snap fasteners 14 are similarly secured near the bottom longitudinal edge 15 of strip 11, so as to fasten band 10 to a four strap 16 band headband 17 of a four strap safety hat (not shown).
It should be noted that the width of the band 10 varies depending on the width of the headband 17, so that the fasteners 12 and 14, when in use, fasten above an upper edge 18 of the headband 17, as shown in FIG. 3.
In use, band 10 is fastened to strap headband 17, by snappably engaging fasteners 12 and 14 to their mating fasteners of existing band 17, and the result is, that after the band 10 has been wrapped around the headband 17. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the band is folded and wrapped about the headband 17, extending upwardly, slightly above an upper edge 18 of the headband 17. Edges 13 and 15 of the perspiration band 10 in this manner extend above the upper edge 18 of the headband 17 and contact each other in face-to-face engagement (as seen in FIG. 3) and the fasteners 12 and 14, which are attached to one side of the band 10 adjacent the edges 13 and 15, respectively, are fastened above the upper edge 18 of the headband 17. The fasteners 12 are engaged with corresponding mating fasteners 14, which allows the headband 10 to be securely positioned on the headband 17. As a result strip 11 engages with the forehead and sides of the head of the wearer, and it shall be noted, that band 10 is provided for the four strap band 17 of a safety hat.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a modified band 10a is provided for a six strap band, which is used in another model of safety hat, and band 10a includes a strip 11a, also of terrycloth material, as was heretofore described of strip 11. Strip 11a is provided with male fasteners 12a, which are fixedly secured near the top longitudinal edge 13a, and female fasteners 14a are fixedly secured near the bottom longitudinal edge 15a of one side of strp 11a. Strip 11a also includes a pair of cut-outs 11b in the top longitudinal edge 13a, so as to adapt it to the six strap band (not shown) of the modified safety hat.
In use, band 10a is fastened to the modified safety hat, in the same manner heretofore described of band 10.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it is understood that such changes will be within the spirit and scope of the present invention, as is defined by the appended claims.
