DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] Before describing in detail exemplary embodiments, it is noted that the embodiments reside primarily in combinations of apparatus components and processing steps related to use of a head cover. Accordingly, components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.

[0012] As used herein, relational terms, such as first and second, top and bottom, and the like, may be used solely to distinguish one entity or element from another entity or element without necessarily requiring or implying any physical or logical relationship or order between such entities or elements.

[0013] Some embodiments provide a head cover that fits over the head of a human wearer and holds snugly to the wearer's forehead. When worn and viewed from the front of the wearer, the head cover may appear similar to a bandana. In some embodiments, the head cover has an elastic band that holds the head cover snugly to the wearer's head. FIG. 1 is a side view of the head cover 1 having an opening 2 at a lower end and a tail 3 at an upper end of the head cover. The tail 3 may be tucked into a hole 4 located at a rear of the head cover 1 when worn. An elastic band 5 may be sewed at the end where the opening 2 is located.

[0014] FIG. 2 is side view of the head cover 1 showing the tail 3 inserted through the hole 4 located just above the elastic band 5. Thus, the opening 2 fits over the head of the wearer and the tail 3 is tucked through the hole 4 to be pulled as tight as the wearer finds comfortable.

[0015] FIG. 3 is a rear view of the head cover 1 showing the tail end 3 tucked through the hole 4 located just above the elastic band 5. In some embodiments, the hole 4 is located in the elastic band 5.

[0016] FIG. 4 is a rear view of the head cover 1 with the tale end 3, the tail tuck hole 4 and the elastic band 5. Note that in some embodiments, a seam 6 may be present. In other embodiments, there is no seam present.

[0017] In some embodiments, the head cover 1 may resemble a sock. In some embodiments, the tail 3 may hold the hair of the wearer so that the hair is not blown and is kept neat while wearing the head cover 1. Thus, a user may tuck his or her hair into the tail end 3 and then pass the tail end 3 through the tail tuck hole 4. An advantage of some embodiments is that there is no need to tie ends to make the head cover fit snugly, as is the case for a bandana. In some embodiments, the fabric article forming the head cover may include wool, cotton, leather, or synthetic fabric such as nylon.

[0018] It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein are not limited to what has been particularly shown and described herein above. In addition, unless mention was made above to the contrary, it should be noted that all of the accompanying drawings are not to scale. A variety of modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings.
