Application January 2, 1951, Serial No. 203,957

3 Claims.

This invention relates to a hair-net device, designedA to be worn by feminine patrons of beauty parlors while under a hair-dryer.

As is well known, it is the practice in beauty parlors to hold the hair in place after waving or setting by means of a hair-dryer, while hot air is circulated about the head from the hair-dryer. The ears-are commonly protected from the heat by pads of cotton batting, or paper cups placed over the ears. Such an arrangement is inadequate and unsatisfactory.

I have accordingly sought to devise a hair-net device which would overcome the defects and disadvantages of previous make-shift arrangements, and to provide a device wholly satisfactory for'its intended purpose. My device eliminates the draw-string or elastic edging type of net now in use, and provides means for readily attaching or detaching ear-pads or shields to the net,

providesraslide-fastened opening whereby a,the

net is readily placed on the head and removed therefrom and provides elastic inserts at the edge whereby the net snugly ts the head to hold the hair in place while drying.

Briefly my device comprises a cap-like hairnet adapted to cover the hair and ears of the wearer, a pair of ear-shields detachably secured to thejinside of the net in position for covering and protecting the ears of the wearer, a nonextensible marginal edging in the net, a slide-l fastened opening in the net extending from a point adjacent the center portion of the cap to the edge, and elastic inserts in the marginal edgingflofthe cap.

Before explaining in detail the present invention itvis to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and arrangement of parts, illustratedfin the accompanying drawings, since the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also it-Vis to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation, and it is not intended to limit the invention claimed herein vbeyond the requirements of the prior art.

Other objects and advantages of myinvention will appear in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. .,-l is a perspective view in side elevation showing my hair-net device in use; and

Fig. 2 is a perspective view in rear elevation showing'my device in use. 1

In thefdrawings I0 represents the hair-net itself which may be made of any suitable textile 2 or plastic material and is preferably made from two side panels Ia and a center panel I0b, suitably stitched together at their adjacent edges, to form a cap-like net adapted to fit over the head and hair of the wearer. A marginal nonextensible edging II extends around the entire peripheral edge of the cap to which the hairnet I0 is stitched. A slotted opening I2 is provided preferably in the center panel I0b at the rear side of the cap, which extends from a point adjacent the center of the cap to the marginal edge II, and is closed by a slide fastener or zipper I3 secured to tapes I4 with the usual slide I5 traversing the zipper.

A pair of ear shields I6 of any suitable material, which are preferably flat, oval members made of exible material and shaped to t over the ears, are secured, preferably detachably, to the inside of the net in position for covering the ears of the wearer. Snap fasteners I1 are preferably provided for detachably securing the ear shields to the inside of the cap I0. Triangular inserts I8 of elastic material are preferably inserted in the cap by stitching at the marginal edge thereof, and preferably between the ear shields I6 and the slotted opening I2.

The elastic inserts I8 provide a resiliency for a snug fit of the cap over the head of the wearer.

It will be understood that several sizes of cap are preferably provided to t a range of head sizes. In operation in a beauty parlor, it will be understood that while the hair is still wet from waving or setting, the hair-net is opened at the opening I2 and placed over the wearers head with the ear shields I6 covering and protecting the wearers ears, andthe opening I2 closed by means of the slide I5 in the usual manner. The cap I0 thus fits snugly over the head of the wearer holding the hair in place while the hair dryer is lowered over n the subjects head and heated air is circulated about and around the hair. At thesame time the ears of the wearer are shielded from the heated air by the ear shields I6. When the hair is dry the cap is readily taken off by again opening the cap at the rear opening I2, and without disturbing and disarranging the hair.

It will thus be real-ized that I have provided a simple hair-net device which overcomes the defects and disadvantages of previous make-shift arrangements.

I claim:

1. A hair-net device-comprising a cap-like net adapted to be wornov'er the head and ears of the wearer, a pair of ear shields secured to the inside of the net in position for covering and protecting the ears of the wearer, a nonextensible band at the marginal edge of the net, a slide fastened opening in the net extending from a point adjacent the mid-section thereof to the marginal edge, and elastic inserts provided inthe marginal edge of the net.

2. A hair-net device comprising a cap-like net adapted to be worn over the head and ears of the wearer, a pair of ear 'shields 'detachably secured to the inside of the net in position for covering and protecting the ears of the wearer, each of said shields comprising at oval members shaped to t over the ear, a non-extensible band at the marginal edge of the net, a slide fastened opening in the net extending from a point adjacent the mid-section thereof to the marginal edge, and elastic inserts provided in the marginal edge of the net.

3. A hair-net device comprising a cap-like net adapted to fit over the head and ears of the wearer, a pair of ear shields detachably secured to the inside of the net in position for covering and protecting the ears of the wearer, a nonextensble band at the marginal edge of the net fitting around the head and beneath the ears of the wearer, a slide fastened opening vin the net Vextending from a point adjacent the mid-section thereof to the marginal edge, and elastic inserts provided in the marginal edge of the net.
