Securing ornamental headgear

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for securing ornamental headgear to its wearer in a self-locking manner that eliminates the need for additional locking devices. The ornamental headpiece, includes one or more ornamental objects, such as horns, wherein the ornamental object has a base in communications with a mounting surface. An attachment cord enters an internal pathway within the ornamental object through an opening on the base and exits through a second opening. Surface contact between the attachment cord and the internal pathway inhibit relative motion between the ornamental object and attachment cord thus allowing the wearer to easily position the ornamental object without fear of unwanted repositioning of the ornamental object. Additionally, the attachment cord can be fastened about the user to secure the ornamental headpiece.

         9 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one channel from said first and second opening to said outer perimeter of said base, wherein said attachment cord is located within said at least one channel.  
     
     
         10 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 1 , further comprising a recess in said base to house a fastener system and wherein said base is flush with said mounting surface.  
     
     
         11 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 10 , wherein said fastener system is a hook and loop type fastener system.  
     
     
         12 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 1 , wherein said internal pathway is molded in said at least one ornamental object.  
     
     
         13 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 12 , wherein said ornamental pathway is molded with a flexible cylindrical object having a larger diameter than said attachment cord.  
     
     
         14 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible cylindrical object is held in place by a fastener system mounted in a negative mold while said at least one ornamental object solidifies in a negative space of said negative mold.  
     
     
         15 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 14 , wherein said fastener system is comprised of a spring clip mounted on a post affixed to said negative mold.  
     
     
         16 . A method of forming an ornamental object for use in an ornamental headpiece which comprises the steps of: 
 securely positioning a thin flexible longitudinal member within a negative space of a mold for said ornamental object;    pouring molding material into said mold;    solidifying said molding material; and    removing said solidified molding material from said mold.    
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising removing said flexible member from said solidified molding material.  
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein said flexible member comprises a plastic material.  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein said flexible member comprises a synthetic material.  
     
     
         20 . An ornamental headpiece, comprising: 
 at least one ornamental object, wherein said ornamental object has a base in communication with a mounting surface, wherein said base further comprises a recess to house a fastener system and wherein said base is flush with said mounting surface;    an attachment cord wherein said attachment cord enters an internal pathway of said at least one ornamental object through a first opening on said base and exits said at least one ornamental object through a second opening of said ornamental object on said base, wherein contact between said attachment cord and said internal pathway inhibit relative motion between said at least one ornamental object and said attachment cord, wherein said base further comprises at least one channel from said first and second opening to said outer perimeter of said base, wherein said attachment cord is located within said at least one channel; and    a means of fastening said attachment cord about a user.    
     
     
         21 . The ornamental headpiece of  claim 20 , wherein said object is a horn.
