Abstract:
An adjustable hairpiece, comprising:a hairpiece network comprising a flexible perimeter member having a longitudinal array of network ports, for fitting around the head of a wearer, said perimeter member having a perimeter member forward segment and two perimeter member side segments; first and second longitudinal guide lines each having a longitudinal array of network ports, said first and second longitudinal guide lines having guide line forward ends secured to said perimeter member forward segment and extending rearwardly, said first and second longitudinal guide lines being laterally spaced apart from each other and defining a hairpiece top region and first and second hairpiece side regions; a flexible network draw line having a draw line middle segment located substantially between said first and second longitudinal guide lines and dividing said network draw line into two draw line half segments, each said half segment extending from said draw line middle segment across said top region forwardly and rearwardly in a spaced and repeating spiral crossing sequence while spiraling through ports alternately in said perimeter member forward segment and in the given said longitudinal guide line on the corresponding side of the hairpiece, and then each guide line half segment repeatedly crossing the corresponding said side region in a spaced and repeating spiral crossing sequence through ports in the corresponding said perimeter member side segment and in the corresponding said longitudinal guide line, said draw line half segments each terminating in a half segment free end;and a plurality of hair strands for securing to said hairpiece network;such that pulling said half segment free ends away from said network causes said draw line to slide through said network ports and thereby to contract said hairpiece against a wearer scalp.
