To facilitate protecting the user's hair, the waterproof cover may include a hair pocket extending from the upper shell, a brim, and a skirt. The hair bag may at least partially enclose or receive a bunched portion of a user's hair (such as a ponytail). The brim and skirt may direct the flow of water over the surface of the waterproof shield away from the user's face and down toward the user's torso.
In some cases, a flexible headband is positioned between the waterproof shield and the user's head. The flexible headband may hold a portion of a user's hair so that it is covered by a waterproof cover so that the hair is not wetted. In some cases, a flexible headband is coupled to the waterproof cover and secures the waterproof cover to the user's head.
As used herein, "bathing" may refer to showering, bathing, swimming, or otherwise exposing the body of a user to water or other liquid. The use of the shower cap described herein is not limited to bathing and may be used to protect hair during other activities, including sleep and other common activities.
Fig. 1-3 illustrate an exemplary shower cap 100, the shower cap 100 having a waterproof cover 110 and a headband 120 worn by a user 150. As described above, the shower cap 100 may be worn by the user 150 to protect the user's hair 170 during bathing or other activities. In particular, the shower cap 100 can keep the user's hair 170 dry while also helping to maintain the user's hairstyle. The shower cap 100 includes various features to direct water away from the user's face and to protect the user's hair from water intrusion. The shower cap 100 may also include various pockets or cavities configured to hold bunched portions of the user's hair 170, which may help maintain the user's hairstyle during bathing and prevent longer hairs from getting wet.
As shown in FIG. 1, the shower cap 100 includes a cover 110, the cover 110 being adapted to be worn on a user's head 160 and to cover or partially enclose at least a portion of a user's hair 170. The cover 110 (also referred to herein as a waterproof cover) is secured to the head of a user 150 by a headband 120. The headband 120 may be formed of a flexible and/or elastic fabric material (e.g., an elastic woven fabric), which the headband 120 extends around a user's head and may stretch to fit various head shapes and sizes. In some embodiments, the headband 120 may be formed from a strip of elastic material that can be stretched to accommodate different sized heads or styles. Exemplary elastic materials may include various fabrics or textiles adapted to stretch or change length in response to an applied force. In various embodiments, headband 120 is adapted to be worn about a user's head 160 and positioned between the user's head and waterproof shield 110. As shown in fig. 1, the cover 110 covers and extends beyond the headband 120. Headband 120 may be coupled to cover 110 by coupling features 123 or a structure that flexibly couples the two components together. The coupling features 123 may include wires, strings, straps, or segments of material that attach the headband 120 to the mask 110. In some cases, the coupling features 123 include buttons, snaps, or other fasteners that allow the headband 120 to be removed from the cover 110.
In some cases, the headband 120 may be used to hold some or all of the user's hair 170 and/or to secure the mask 110 to the user's head 160. The headband 120 may cover and hold the user's hair against the user's head. The headband 120 may prevent the user's hair from extending beyond the mask 110 so that the user's hair is protected from wetting. In some cases, the headband 120 is coupled to the mask 110 such that the headband 120 can secure the mask 110 to a user's head. In some cases, the headband 120 is formed of a flexible and/or elastic fabric material and extends around the head of the user to secure the mask 110 to the user's head. In various embodiments, the flexible and/or elastic properties of the headband 120 may help to retain the headband 120 and mask 110 on the user's head.
Referring to fig. 1, the hood 110 is a flexible barrier that may be positioned over at least a portion of a user's head 160, neck 162, and/or torso 164 to cover or enclose a user's hair 170. In some cases, the cap 110 includes an upper shell 130, a hair follicle 132, a brim 134, and a skirt 136. These features may cooperate to direct water away from the user's face and toward the user's shoulders or lower neck. Generally, the mask 110 defines a mask cavity that defines an opening configured to receive a user's head.
As shown in fig. 1, the upper housing 130 is designed to surround at least a portion of a user's head 160. In some cases, the upper housing 130 and/or another portion of the cover 110 at least partially define one or more cavities or cavity portions (e.g., the main cavity 140) that at least partially enclose the user's hair 170. The upper housing 130 and the main chamber 140 may be shaped to conform to the shape and contour of the user's head 160 and/or hair. In some cases, main lumen 140 may be referred to as a first portion of the mask lumen.
In some cases, the shape and contour of the user's hair 170 may approximately conform to the shape of the user's head 160 and/or neck 162. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the shape of the user's hair 170 on top of the user's head approximately conforms to the shape of the user's head 160, and the main cavity 140 defined by the upper housing 130 approximately conforms to the shape of the user's head 160.
In some cases, the shape and contour of the user's hair may not necessarily conform to the shape of the user's head 160, for example, due to bunched portions of hair (such as ponytail, bun, plait, lock, etc.) or other hair styling features (such as curly hair, etc.). Thus, in some cases, the cover 110 may include one or more hair bags (e.g., hair bag 132). The hair pocket 132 may also be referred to herein as the second portion of the mask cavity.
The hair pocket 132 can be shaped to at least partially enclose and/or approximately conform to the shape of one or more bundle portions or other hair styling features of hair. In some cases, hair bag 132 extends from upper housing 130 and defines a hair chamber 142 that is open to main chamber 140. The hair cavity 142 can be configured to receive a bunched portion of hair or other hair styling features. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, user's hair 170 includes a hair bundle gathering portion (ponytail 172) that does not conform to the shape of the user's head 160. The hair bag 132 is shaped to at least partially enclose the ponytail 172 and/or to approximately conform to the ponytail 172. Hair chamber 142 is shaped to receive ponytail 172.
In some cases, the cover 110 includes a brim 134 that extends from a front portion of the upper housing 130 to facilitate protecting a user's hair 170 and/or directing water flow over the waterproof cover surface away from the user's face 166 when the shower cap 100 is worn. In some cases, brim 134 is adapted to direct water flow on the outer surface of the waterproof shield away from the face 166 and head 160 of the user. For example, the brim 134 may be shaped and/or positioned to direct water downward toward the user's torso 164 so that water flow is prevented from flowing toward the user's face 166 or hair 170. As shown in FIG. 1, the brim 134 may extend beyond the front edge 121 of the headband 120 to shield the face 166 of the user. In some cases, brim 134 extends between 0.5cm and 5cm beyond headband 120. In some cases, brim 134 extends between 1cm and 3cm beyond headband 120. The brim may be formed of the same material or the same sheet as the cover 110.
Turning to fig. 2, in some cases, brim 134 extends at least partially around a user's face 166. In some cases, brim 134 may include a first portion 134a and a second portion 134b separated by a shunt 135. In some cases, the diverter 135 diverts, or otherwise directs the flow of water toward the first portion 134a or the second portion 134b of the brim 134 so that the water does not flow onto or in front of the user's face 166.
Returning to fig. 1, in some cases, the cover 110 includes a skirt 136 extending from a lower portion of the upper shell 130 to facilitate protecting a user's hair 170 or directing water flow over the waterproof cover surface when the shower cap 100 is worn. In some cases, skirt 136 is adapted to cover and exclude water from a portion of a user's head 160, hair 170, neck 162, and/or torso 164. The skirt 136 may direct the flow of water on the outer surface of the waterproof shield down toward the torso 164 of the user. As shown in fig. 1-3, the skirt 136 may extend at least partially along, partially around, or partially enclose the user's neck 162.
As shown in fig. 2, the waterproof cover 110 may define an opening 144 to the main cavity 140 such that the main cavity 140 and other cavities of the cover (e.g., the hair cavity 142) may receive or fit over at least a portion of the user's head 160, hair 170, neck 162, and/or torso 164. In some cases, the brim 134 may extend along a portion of the perimeter 146 of the opening 144 or define a portion of the perimeter 146 of the opening 144. In some cases, the skirt 136 may extend along a portion of the perimeter 146 of the opening 144 or define a portion of the perimeter 146 of the opening 144. In some cases, the perimeter 146 of the opening includes corners 148a and 148b where different portions of the perimeter 146 meet at the corners 148a and 148 b.
In some cases, the shroud 110 may include one or more drip points or drip zones toward which the brim 134, skirt 136, and/or other portions of the shroud 110 direct the flow of water. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the drip zone 180 may be positioned at a corner 148a or 148b defined by the perimeter 146 of the opening 144. The brim 134 and/or skirt 136 may be adapted to direct a flow of water toward the drip zone 180 to direct the water downward toward the user's torso 164 and away from the user's head 160.
The cover 110 may be formed of any suitable material or combination of materials for protecting the user's hair 170. In some cases, the cover 110 is formed from a flexible and/or elastic material or combination of materials to conform to the shape and contours of the user's hair 170, including, but not limited to, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polypropylene, polyurethane, polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polychloroprene, neoprene, fabric (e.g., nylon fabric), laminate, woven polymer or fiber, composite, rubber, synthetic rubber, and the like. In some cases, the cover 110 is formed from a single sheet. In some cases, the water shield 110 may be formed from multiple material segments attached together to define the shape of the shield.
In some cases, the cover 110 and/or the headband 120 are waterproof. As used herein, "waterproof" may be used to refer to materials that are impermeable to water or other liquids and/or materials or components that are designed to exclude, prevent, or minimize the ingress of water or other liquids. In some cases, the cover 110 and/or the headband 120 are formed from a waterproof or water-blocking material, such as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polypropylene, polyurethane, polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polychloroprene, neoprene, or the like. In some cases, one or more non-waterproof materials used to form the cover 110 and/or headband 120 may be treated as waterproof materials, for example, using Durable Water Repellents (DWRs) such as fluoropolymers, perfluoro and Polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS), and the like.
In some cases, the cover 110 and/or the headband 120 are at least partially formed of a sound dampening material. For example, the waterproof cover 110 may be formed of a sound-deadening waterproof fabric that causes less noise to be generated under water flow than conventional waterproof materials. This may allow a more enjoyable experience for the user of the shower cap 100. Exemplary sound dampening materials include polyester sheets, nylon fabrics, woven polymers, treated fabrics, neoprene, and the like. In some cases, the shower cap 100 is made of a combination of waterproof materials covered with a sound dampening fabric, which may or may not be waterproof.
As described above, in various embodiments, the headband 120 is adapted to be worn about a user's head 160. In some cases, the headband 120 is positioned in the main cavity 140 of the mask 110 between the user's head 160 and the mask 110. As previously described, the brim 134 may extend beyond the headband 120 to direct water flow away from the user's face 166.
In some cases, the headband 120 may be used to cover some or all of the user's hair 170 and/or to secure the mask 110 to the user's head 160. In some cases, the headband 120 may be used to hold or otherwise maintain a user's hair 170 in place (e.g., in a particular hairstyle). For example, in some cases, the headband 120 is configured to hold a portion of the user's hair 170 under the cover 110.
In some cases, the width 122 of the headband 120 is large enough to secure the headband to a user's head 160 without causing marks or indentations on the user's skin or hair 170 or otherwise interfering with hair characteristics or styling. For example, in some cases, the width 122 of the headband 120 is greater than 15 cm. In some cases, the width 122 of the headband 120 is between 1cm and 15 cm. In some cases, the width 122 of the headband 120 is between 5cm and 10 cm. The headband 120 may be formed of a flexible or elastic material or combination of materials for securing the headband to a user's head 160 when worn about the user's head, including but not limited to woven polymers, cotton fabrics, microfiber, terry fabrics, neoprene, nylon fabrics, and the like.
In various embodiments, the shower cap 100 is designed to be secured to the head 160 of a user. In some cases, waterproof cover 110 is coupled to headband 120, and the headband secures the cover to a user's head 160. As used herein, the terms "coupled" and "fixed" may be used to refer to two or more elements, structures, objects, components, parts, etc., that are physically attached, or held to one another, either directly or indirectly (e.g., through one or more other components).
In various embodiments, the mask 110 and/or the headband 120 can include one or more coupling features 123 that couple the mask to the headband. Exemplary coupling features include a wire, string, strap, or other suitable material for flexibly coupling the mask to the headband. Coupling features 123 may include any suitable type of fastener or other feature, such as hook and loop fasteners, snaps, buttons, adhesives, ties, and the like.
In some cases, the cover 110 may be releasably coupled to the headband 120 such that the waterproof cover may be repeatedly coupled to and decoupled from the headband. For example, the attachment features or coupling features 123 between the cover 110 and the headband 120 may include snaps, buttons, or other fasteners that allow for a removable or releasable coupling between the components. In some cases, the plurality of hoods 110 may be interchangeable and can be coupled to the headband 120. Similarly, the cover 110 may be coupled to a plurality of headbands 120.
