Abstract: The modified head covering has a cap portion that resembles typical head caps, as well as a pouch portion attached to the rear of the cap. This head covering allows a user having long hair to safely conceal his or her hair within the pouch portion at the rear of the head covering. The pouch portion can be cinched tightly into a “sack” or “pouch” shape through the use of a ribbon, an elastic band, or other devices. Once the pouch portion is constricted, the hair is safely concealed and kept off of the nape of the neck. The head covering can be made of a variety of fabrics with a number of patterns or colors. The modified head covering is particularly suited to medical personnel working in sterile environments, but it is useful for anyone with long hair who must conceal his or her hair inside a cap.

Abstract: The Koolonu is a combination scarf with a pocket that can be drawn up from the chest over the head to become a headpiece/ear cover. Invert the Koolonu on the head and the pocket becomes a visor. It is new by virtue of the width variation and the manner with which it is folded and sewn at its ends forming a storage pocket. This unique process creates a convertible apparel item for fashion and utility. Made of knitted yarn or any such flexible material, It begins with a square, tapers in equally 45 degrees to the neckband width (50% of square end width). Neckband length (determined by neck circumference) continues then tapers out equally 45 degrees to form a second square of identical size to the first. The squares are sewn together on two sides at 90 degree angles to each other forming the pocket. The Koolonu can be made for any age or gender, of lighter or heavier materials and for dolls, teddy bears or other toys. It can be worn around the neck, ears and head.

Abstract: A head scarf, formed of a main body and a lining, has a crown for covering a wearer's head and a tail that is adapted to hang down from the rear of the crown. The lining has front and rear margin areas attached to the main body. In a central longitudinal plane of the scarf, the length of fabric between the front and rear margin areas is greater, by a differential amount, than the linear distance between the front and rear margin areas to enhance the ability of the scarf to conform to the shape of a wearer's head. Corresponding differential amounts exist in longitudinal planes parallel to and spaced from the central longitudinal plane, and they decrease progressively from a maximum near the central longitudinal plane to about zero in longitudinal planes most distant from the central longitudinal plane. The front margin area of the lining is attached to the front margin area of the body by a convex line of stitching that establishes the differential amounts.
