Embodiment Construction

[0021] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the long cap 1 according to the invention has an elongate form. It is formed from two lateral walls of parallelepipedal general shape fixed to one another along one of their long sides 2 and one of their two short sides 3 so as to delimit a first pocket 4 arranged at the proximal end of the long cap, forming a cap, and a second pocket 5 arranged at the distal end of the long cap that makes it possible to draw together the floating mass of hair 6 and to hold it in place.

[0022] The distal pocket 5 has a volume that is smaller than that of the proximal pocket 6 that forms the cap. Furthermore, if the long-cap profile is regarded as being that of a parallelepiped, it is nevertheless possible to make provision for certain angles 7 that are reasonably rounded, particularly in the proximal part that forms the cap, in order to increase the comfort level thereof.

[0023] The two pockets—proximal pocket 4 and distal pocket 5—are connected together by mea...

Abstract

The invention relates to a long cap (1) which is designed to protect the hair. The inventive cap comprises two essentially-parallelepiped side walls which are fixed to one another along one of the long sides (2) and shorts sides (3) thereof, such as to define: a first pouch (4) which is disposed at the proximal end of the cap, said first pouch forming a cap; and a second pouch (5) which is disposed at the distal end of the cap, said second pouch forming a receptacle for the floating mass of hair (6). The invention is characterised in that the two ends thereof are provided with complementary fixing means (9) which can be brought into contact with one another in order to close the cap around the head after the hair has been placed therein. For said purpose, the distal end is rotated by 180° around the longitudinal axis of the cap and subsequently folded back over the proximal end such as to cover same.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an easy-fit long cap for protecting and drying the hair. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Traditionally, long-haired women have to protect and dry their hair when they get out of a shower or bath and for this purpose use a large towel in which they enclose the mass of hair by rolling the towel over on itself along a longitudinal axis. Next, the free end of the towel is folded rearward and around the head, possibly held in place with the aid of a safety pin or the like. This enables the hair to be at least partially held in place and dried prior to styling. [0003] A very similar, even identical, method is applied in hair salons and beauty parlors. In the latter, in particular, products frequently have to be applied to the face and must not come into contact with the hair, in which case the towel thus wound around the hair also serves as protection. [0004] A method such as this is awkward, gives an uncertain result, and requires a degree of pr...
