Abstract The disclosed articles to be worn encircling part of the person comprise an endless band of highly elastic material, e.g., molded styrene-butadiene block copolymer, having bodies and connecting necks extending integrally between the bodies. The band is easily stretched considerably to put it on, and the bodies are easily grasped when putting the ring on and taking it off. The necks can be stretched five times their normal length without suffering permanent elongation, and because of this feature the necks which in aggregate are short provide an ample amount of stretch. One novel article is a snood including a ring of homogeneous necks and balls and a pouch formed of a pattern of strands (which may also be necks and balls) extending integrally from the ring, the pattern and proportions of the pouch making it more readily stretched than the ring, to confine a bun of hair without excessively compacting the bun.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A snood, including an endless band having numerous bodies large enough to be grasped by a person''s fingers in putting the snood on and in taking it off, said endless band having numerous interconnecting necks extending integrally from the surfaces of said bodies as continuous portions of the same material as that of said bodies, said bodies being enormous in cross-section compared to the necks and said bodies being relatively in extensible in response to the maximum tension that the necks are capable of resisting, a small portion of each Body where a said neck meets a said body stretching in response to such tension, said material having an elasticity enabling at least two-to-one elongation of the necks without appreciable set, said snood further including a pouch comprising a pattern of strands extending integrally from said endless band, said strands being interconnected as a lattice including cross-connected strands for containing the hair of a bun, the pattern of the pouch and the cross-section of the strands thereof being proportioned to be much more easily enlarged than said band.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A snood, including an endless band having numerous bodies large enough to be grasped by a person''s fingers in putting the snood on and in taking it off, said endless band having numerous interconnecting necks extending integrally from the surfaces of said bodies as continuous portions of the same material as that of said bodies, said bodies being enormous in cross-section compared to the necks and said bodies being relatively in extensible in response to the maximum tension that the necks are capable of resisting, a small portion of each Body where a said neck meets a said body stretching in response to such tension, said material having an elasticity enabling at least two-to-one elongation of the necks without appreciable set, said snood further including a pouch comprising a pattern of strands extending integrally from said endless band, said strands being interconnected as a lattice including cross-connected strands for containing the hair of a bun, the pattern of the pouch and the cross-section of the strands thereof being proportioned to be much more easily enlarged than said band.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A snood in accordance with claim 1, wherein the strands of said pouch include bodies of said material and necks integrally extending from and interconnecting said bodies.
