DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Reference is made herein to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to depict like or similar elements of the migraine tension headache headband. For the purposes of presenting a brief and clear description of the present invention, a preferred embodiment will be discussed as used for the migraine tension headache headband. The figures are intended for representative purposes only and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.

Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of an embodiment of the migraine tension headache headband. The migraine tension headache headband comprises a sleeve. The sleeve is connected together at each end, such that a headband shape is formed. The migraine tension headache headband 100 is configured to fit around a wearers head. The migraine tension headache headband 100 is proportioned to fit over a wearer's ears and across the forehead.

Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the migraine tension headache headband. In one embodiment, the migraine tension headache headband 100 comprises multiple layers of material. In one embodiment the layers of material are comprised of a single material that is folded over to create the headband. In one embodiment the material is a cotton polyester blend. In one embodiment a first layer 201 is an elastic layer. The elastic layer 201 is a highly stretchable layer. This will ensure that the migraine tension headache headband 100 will apply pressure to the wearer. The first layer 201 will flex out to be placed over the wearer's head then tighten down applying pressure to the wearer.

The migraine tension headache headband 100 has a second layer 202. In one embodiment the second layer is comprised of the same material at the first layer 201 and results from a fold in the material. The second layer 202 is a cushion layer. In one embodiment the cushion layer 202 is a padded material. The cushion layer will allow for the wearer to experience comfort when the migraine tension headache headband 100 is worn. In one embodiment, the second layer 202 also provides warmth to the wearer.

Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a perspective view of an embodiment of the migraine tension headache headband with an ice or heat pack located therein. In one embodiment, the migraine tension headache headband has an opening 301 in an external side of the migraine tension headache headband 100. In one embodiment, there is an opening on two sides of the migraine tension headache headband 100. This opening 301 will lead to an internal compartment 302. In another embodiment, both openings will lead to individual internal compartments. In one embodiment one of the compartments is located acrossed forehead and one of the compartments is located on the base of the skull. In another embodiment, the openings will lead to a single connected internal compartment. In one embodiment the internal compartment 302 is located between the first and second layer. In another embodiment, the internal compartment located on the inside of the migraine tension headache headband 100.

The internal compartment is configured to fit a heat pack or ice pack 303. This will allow for a wearer to apply heat or ice to their head. In one embodiment, there will be a closure device 304 located within the compartment. The closure device will be located just within the opening. In one embodiment the closure device goes all the way across the opening. In another embodiment the closure device is located in the middle of the opening. This will allow a user to seal the compartment to securely hold items within the internal compartment. In one embodiment, the closure device 304 is a hook and loop fastener.

Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the migraine tension headache headband. In use, the migraine tension headache headband 100 covers the wearer's forehead and the sides of the head. In one embodiment the migraine tension headache headband 100 covers the wearer's ears. The top of the migraine tension headache headband is opened to allow the top of the wearer's head to come through. This will allow a user to pull the head band lower or position it higher to achieve maximum comfort.

It is therefore submitted that the instant invention has been shown and described in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
