Improvements in or relating to Hair Nets.
We, GEORGE LICHTENFELD and HERMANN LICHTENFELD, of 79 Regent
Street, in the County of Middlesex, Wig Makers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to hair nets now commonly worn for keeping ladies' hair
tidy, the net being usually of a large mesh and made of hair, silk or the like
matching that of the wearer and adapted to be drawn over the natural hair and
secured with hair pins, or it may be held by elastic; in some cases also it may be
placed underneath a fringe for the same purpose as before.
Our improvement consists in combining with this hair net certain curls, tufts or
other forms of hair, so as to add to the quantity of hair and also to hide the net
which with this arrangement lies between the natural hair and the additional
tufts etc. above described. The net provided with this addition may be placed
underneath the ordinary fringe and come over it or may be placed simply on top
of it and it may be used either for the front or back, that is to say the additional
hair may be placed at the front or the back of the head of the wearer or the net
may be covered all over with the additional hair.

Improvements in or relating to Hair Nets.
We, GEORGE LICHTENFELD and HERMANN LICHTENFELD of 79 Regent
Street, in the County of Middlesex, Wig Makers, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to hair nets now commonly worn for keeping ladies' hair
tidy, the net being usually of a large mesh and made of hair, silk or the like
matching that of the wearer and adapted to be drawn over the natural hair and
secured with hair pins, or it may be held by elastic.
Our improvement consists in combining with this hair net certain curls, tufts, or
other forms of hair, so as to add to the quantity of hair and also to hide the net
which with this arrangement lies between the natural hair and the additional
tufts etc. above described. The net provided with this addition may be placed
underneath the ordinary fringe and come over it or may be placed simply on top
of it and it may be used either for the front or back, that is to say the additional
hair may be placed at the front or the back of the head of the wearer or the net
may
be covered all over with the additional hair.
In the accompanying drawing, we have shown a net of this description with hair
upon it, at the end, to form a fringe.
A is the net substantially of ordinary description, but preferably made of hair
with a large mesh as shown; the size and shape of this net may be varied according
to circumstances. B represents tufts or portions of hair secured upon the net; in
the drawing this hair is applied at one end of the net so as to be suitable for use

page_text: as a fringe, but it will be understood that the hair may be placed at any other part
or parts of the net in addition to or instead of the position shown in the drawing.
This net may be secured to the natural hair of the wearer by hair pins or other
suitable means, and the net while securing the fringe in position may also serve to
keep the rest of the hair tidy by passing over it. If desired the net may be
folded over its own fringe as well as or instead of over other portions of the hair
of the wearer.
Previous to our invention we are aware that artificial fringes prepared upon a
"foundation" usually made of closely woven silk or hair have been known but
never so far as we are aware in combination with a net; we are also aware that
nets without fringes attached are known and used for keeping the hair tidy and we
make no claim to either of these separately. Neither of these however affords the
advantages secured by the fringe or other hair combined with the net as set forth
in our present invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The combined fringe net substantially as described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
2. The combination with a net such as A of a fringe such as B or other
disposition of hair upon the net substantially as described.
