Abstract
A Structured Scarf is a scarf with a sewn in collar and a plurality of pairs of adjustable flexible fasteners attached to the neck and front torso areas. The adjustable fasteners enable the scarf to keep the neck and torso warm and give the appearance of a traditional full sweater without the bulk when worn under outerwear. The fasteners allow you to adjust the scarf for easy comfort in varying temperatures. The dimensions of the scarf can be varied to suit different purposes.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention pertains to clothing, and more specifically to clothing for wearing around the neck and front torso areas.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Traditionally scarves have been worn for style and warmth of the neck and front torso areas. They have been secured by knotting, tying or folding the material into a configuration around the neck and chest. This presented the problem of bulk and a lack of adjustment should the need arise in varying temperatures. For the uncreative, scarves are very cumbersome. Additionally, scarves used for promotion of a brand or logo were limited in exact placement of these logos resulting in an inconsistent visual impact.
- Examples of scarves that attempted to meet the forgoing requirements may be seen in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,867,835, 6,145,131, 2,385,791, 2,942,274, 3,080,566, 3,360,802, 3,605,121, 4,277,849, 4,321,709, 4,788,722, 4,870,707, and 4,942,627. While the articles of those patents are satisfactory to a degree, none combines all the features desired in a consistent structured look with the ease of instant adjustability. For example, some of the garments shown in the forgoing patents are not adjustable, and therefore must be removed in varying temperatures. Some garments fail to cover the torso resulting in drafts and infiltration of cold air. Most are too bulky. None provide a consistent visual representation area for logos.
- Thus, a need exists for a scarf which combines the features of warmth and comfort with a consistent shape and instantly adjustability.
- The present invention improves upon the design of existing scarves by providing a structured collar and front torso panels which are fully adjustable by flexible fasteners for quick adjustment in varying temperatures. Additionally, the structured scarf provides a consistent and exact area for logos and visual promotion ideas. Other possible uses may include an adaptation for utility workers where the scarf is manufactured in reflective material and may include additional safety features such as pockets for holding life-saving equipment. Medical use is also another adaptation where the scarf would hold hot or cold compresses close to the body, or salves kept in an inside pocket to keep clothes or sheets clean. Another adaptation may be sporting activities where a fisherman can keep warm while having all his lures and tackle readily available in enclosed pockets on the elongated panels or collar areas. Hunters as well will find the convenience of having all their tools readily available and in reach. Additionally, new mothers will love the convenience, warmth and protection provided by the Structured Scarf while feeding and holding baby. Applications within the public office environment are extensive. Most offices have extreme temperatures variances in the late Spring, Summer and Fall. The Structured Scarf allows you to easily adapt the environment to your comfort without the need for a jacket, sweater or other bulky outerwear.
- In accordance with the present invention, the Structured Scarf provides an improved scarf design which creates a structured look for instant style and warmth without the restriction of material bound around the neck. With a collar, this scarf provides a structured appearance and provides comfort by means of the adjustable flexible fasteners at the neck and front torso areas. The fasteners allow the Structured Scarf to be easily adjusted in varying temperatures. Additionally, the structured collar and two elongated front panels allow a precise and consistent visual representation area for logos.
- The Structured Scarf may be made of any suitable material. The collar and two elongated panels may be represented in any shape or dimension depending on application and usage. Certain features such as pockets and attached key rings, etc. may be secured anywhere on the Structured scarf depending on application and usage. The adjustable flexible fasteners may be any current or future closing devises depending on application and usage.
- Other advantages and features of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the detailed disclosure.
