Description

Cover and sheet-like cover

Technical Field

For the present invention and its associated method of use, the present invention becomes a cape that covers the upper body half when applying ordinary hair medication to the hair; and after the ordinary hair medicine has been applied, the present invention becomes an innovative cover that can retain heat and humidity for the hair as a whole and prevent the ordinary hair medicine from drying out.

Background

When general hair medicines such as permanent wave medicines, hair treatment medicines, hair dyeing medicines, etc. are applied to beauty salons or barbershops, hair treated with the general medicines are covered with hair caps or film wrappers for food packaging. This is to prevent the conventional hair drug from drying and to keep the hair warm and moist, thereby promoting the penetration of the drug.

However, when people dye their hair at home, hair caps and film wraps are rarely used. Therefore, since the general hair medicine applied to the hair is dry and does not have sufficient heat retention and humidity, in the case of a hair dyeing agent, chemical changes may be inconsistent, resulting in uneven dyeing or color unevenness. Furthermore, during the waiting time required for the dyeing chemical to act, there is a risk that the dyeing agent contaminates the surroundings of the user. In addition, the unique pungent odor of hair coloring agents may cause discomfort.

In addition, when applying a hair dyeing agent, in order to prevent the hair dyeing agent from adhering to clothes, a user generally wears a special cape, however, even in this case, the hair to which the hair medicine has been applied is exposed, and thus there is a risk that the hair medicine may contaminate the clothes or surrounding area. If the user is not satisfied with this risk, the hair dye agent can be used in the bathroom, but if the hair dye agent is attached to the body, the hair dye agent may contaminate the skin by several; and more seriously, if the hair dyeing agent is attached to a bathtub, a wall, etc., there is also a problem that contaminants cannot be removed.

In this context, the following technical report will disclose various hair hats that have been invented, but these hair hats have not been used for home use, beauty parlor, etc., and have hardly been put into practical use.

On one hand, when the hair cap is used in a beauty shop or a barber shop, since the hair cap containing the elastic is expansively stretched to cover the hair to which the general hair medicine has been applied, the work of the barber becomes more difficult. In particular, if the hair dye adheres to the periphery of the hair cap, the hair dye may come into contact with the skin of the consumer, and therefore, in order to avoid the periphery of the hair cap from coming into contact with the hair, the elastic of the cap must be stretched by hand as much as possible, which is extremely difficult for one person to perform this operation, and sometimes requires the help of another person. Further, since the hair cap is worn on the head from above, it is difficult to put all the hair inside the hair cap when the hair cap is worn, and the hair that has to be put inside the hair cap may protrude from the edge of the hair cap after the hair cap is worn on the head in general, which causes troubles.

Further, when removing the used covered hair cap, the general hair medicine attached to the hair cap may be scattered and scattered due to the expansion and contraction of the elastic string, and may be attached to the facial area or clothes of the consumer. In addition, the elastic string for closing the wrinkle part of the hair cap is pulled into the skin, making consumers feel uncomfortable and leaving marks. Due to these circumstances, recently, a film wrap for food packaging has been used to cover hair. However, in this case, the following kinds of problems have also been pointed out.

For the film wrap, the film wrap wrapped around the head prevents the drying of the general hair medicine by using the adhesive force of the film wrap itself, but is inferior in heat insulation property. Therefore, when exposed to cold or warm air from an indoor heating or air conditioning apparatus, the closely adhered portions may be partially cooled or heated, and the efficacy of the general hair medicine may become inconsistent. Thus, infrared rays are emitted from above the film wrapper, or an infrared cap is placed on the head.

Further, since the film wrapper is self-adhering, when the film wrapper is pulled from a film roll and cut, the film wrapper may be folded on itself and become unusable unless the four corners of the film wrapper are maintained. Therefore, when the head is wrapped with the stretched film wrap, if the hair hangs down from the hairline, it is impossible for one person to wrap the hair and also gather the hanging hair, and thus, assistance of others is required. Further, when the head is wrapped with the film wrapper, the portion around the hairline must be firmly tightened to prevent the film wrapper from slipping and the general hair medicine from being dropped on the face, as in the hair cap. However, when water or liquid generated by the chemical reaction of the general hair medicine permeates into the tightened seam, the film wrapper may lose its self-adhesive force and become loose. As a result, the film wrap may slip off the head due to the weight of the medicament.

In addition, in beauty salons, in order to confirm and evaluate the penetration effect of general hair drugs, the film wrap wrapping the head is partially opened and the hair is exposed. At this point, the film wrap may also lose its self-adhesive strength and fall off the head. If this happens accidentally, the ordinary hair medication may be accidentally splashed and scattered onto the consumer and the surrounding environment. In addition, the same precautions should be taken when removing the film wrap at the shampoo station.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

Problems to be solved by the invention

With the present invention, it solves all the above problems by means of a device: when applying ordinary hair medications, such as hair coloring or treating agents, the device becomes a cape; and after application of such common hair medicaments, the device becomes an innovative cover that can easily wrap the treated hair, and the device and method of use of the device are noted herein.

Means for solving the problems

Hereinafter, a structure of a cover member and a method of using the cover member according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings and the accompanying drawings.

< basic form 1 of cover >

As for the defining characteristics of the cover member of the present invention, the cover member of the present invention is made of a synthetic resin sheet which can be stretched by hand, and a through hole is formed on a center line along the longitudinal direction of the cover member, the size of the through hole allowing the head of the wearer to pass through the through hole tightly, and when the head of the wearer passes through the through hole, the cover member becomes a cover member which is large enough to hang over at least two shoulders and the abdomen, and in this state, on the shoulders, the rear side portion of the cover member remains hanging as it is, and when the front side portion of the cover member hanging over the abdomen is lifted and the face of the wearer is projected from the through hole to be exposed, the through hole becomes a through hole which is stretched tightly along the periphery of the face of the wearer and along the back of the neck under the ears to along the forehead; more importantly, the portion of the cover that is lifted from the abdomen to cover the hair retains a size that allows it to wrap around the hair as a whole.

The cover is made of a synthetic resin sheet which stretches when pulled by hand. Specifically, the synthetic resin sheet is a non-absorbent sheet made of polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, or the like used for manufacturing plastic bags and the like. A sheet made of such a material can be stretched 5 times or more by hand, but in order to pass the head through a through hole formed in the cover and expose the face portion protruding from the through hole, a sheet of 0.05mm or less is preferable. Further, the stretched through-hole is thinned and closely adhered to the skin, but a sheet having a thickness of, for example, 0.03mm to 0.015mm is preferable in view of adhesiveness and tightening force at this time.

In the case where the cover formed of the sheet has a function of a cape for preventing spilling or stains, the cover should be made large enough to cover at least both the abdomen and the back of the wearer. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the width L1 is 50cm to 90cm, the length L2 is 70cm to 100cm, and is substantially quadrangular, and as for the through-hole 2, the through-hole 2 occupies a substantially central portion along the center line CL in the horizontal direction of the cover member 1.

Furthermore, in the case of wearing the cover as a cape to prevent spillage or soiling, the cover is large enough to hang over both the shoulders and abdomen of the wearer as a good apron. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, a width L1 of about 50cm and a length L2 of about 70cm are sufficient. Also, the through-hole 2 is formed in the vicinity of one end of the center line CL. In this case, the shortest distance ML between the outer edge of the cover member 1 and the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 has such a length that the through-hole 2 is not torn even if it is stretched from 7cm to 10cm, for example.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, if the length LL of the cover member 1 hanging at the front of the wearer is extended from 90cm to 100cm, when wearing the cover member 1, as shown in fig. 4, the skirt 1a may be spread on the table T, and the mirror M, the general hair medicine N, etc. may be placed thereon, and the hair may be dyed.

The through-holes 2 provided in these covers 1 are dimensioned such that the head of the wearer can pass through them tautly. For example, when the cover member 1 made of a plastic bag is stretched 5 times or more, for example, when pulled, for example, in the case of a head having a circumference of 53cm, the circumference of the through-hole 2 is set to about 38cm, and then, when the head passes through the small through-hole 2, the through-hole 2 is spread and fitted around the neck without returning to the original size. In this example, a thin plastic bag having a thickness of 0.02mm was tested, but if the cover member 1 is made thicker, the size of the through-holes 2 needs to be increased. For example, in the case where the cover member 1 is formed of a plastic bag of 0.04mm, if the circumference of the through-hole 2 is enlarged to about 40cm, the resistance is about the same as when the thinness is 0.03mm, and the head portion can be tightly passed through the small through-hole 2.

When the cover 1 of fig. 1 is worn, the center line CL of the cover 1 faces away from the front and back of the wearer after the head passes through the through-hole 2. When doing so, as shown in fig. 5, the cover 1 may hang over the upper half of the body excluding the arms of the wearer. As a result, when ordinary hair medicine is applied to the hair, the cover member 1 becomes a cape that prevents spilling or stains. Further, when wearing the long cover 1 of fig. 3, as described earlier, after the head passes through the through-hole 2, the long portion of the cover hangs down on the abdomen, and the skirt 1a spreads on the table T as shown in fig. 4. Therefore, even if the general hair medicine is splashed on the table T, the skirt 1a can be used as the antifouling sheet of the table T. Furthermore, when wearing the short cover 1 of fig. 2, the cover 1 of fig. 2 is worn over a special cape that has been worn.

After putting on the cover member 1 in this way, the hair is treated with a general hair medicine, and then as shown in fig. 6, 7, the rear side portion is left hanging as it is, and only the front side portion hanging on the abdomen is lifted up, and the wearer's face is protruded from the through hole 2 to be exposed. When completed, the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is further stretched, as shown in fig. 8, and closely attached to the periphery of the wearer's face from below the ear along the nape to along the forehead.

At this stage, since only the front cover part hanging on the abdomen is lifted to expose the face projecting outward as shown in fig. 9, the nape side of the through-hole 2 is stretched and bunched, and the front side of the through-hole 2 is widened by the face push and is kept closely attached to the skin around the face in a state of an expanded plane as shown in fig. 8. At this time, the tightening force of the through-holes 2 is not so strong as to cause discomfort, but is continuously stretched and thinned with appropriate strength and appropriate width, thereby closely adhering to the skin. Therefore, even if water is generated by the chemical reaction of the mixed general hair medicine and dropped, since the circumferential edges of the through-holes 2 are kept closely attached to the skin, it is possible to prevent the hair medicine liquid from dropping on the face or the nape of the neck.

On the other hand, the conventional hair cap has wrinkles with elastic strings at the edges along the hairline, and since the wrinkles are pressed against the hairline by the tightening force of the elastic strings, thereby preventing the leakage of general hair medicines and the like from the seams, the wrinkles must be tightened with a strong force that generally causes discomfort. However, according to the present invention, since the through-hole 2 is formed of a synthetic resin sheet that can be stretched by hand and is closely adhered to the periphery of the face by the face pushing, no uncomfortable feeling like a hair cap occurs and no ordinary hair medical liquid leaks from the periphery of the through-hole 2.

As for the shape of the through-hole 2, the shape of the through-hole is preferably the shape of the cross section of the head, but since the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 can be flexibly stretched, the shape of the through-hole may be, for example, circular or elliptical, but as shown in fig. 9, the shape of the through-hole 2 at the time of final use may be a small shape similar to the shape of the wearer's face periphery from the nape of the neck under the ears to the forehead.

Further, in preparation for mass production, as shown in fig. 10, the through-hole 2 may be formed by linearly cutting a predetermined width and forming small circular holes 2a at both ends thereof. The small hole 2a prevents both ends of the through-hole 2 from being torn when the head passes through the through-hole 2 linearly formed by the slit. Further, as shown by numeral 2b in fig. 11, a straight short slit is made from a substantially central portion of the through-hole 2 toward the side edge 2c, and the slit portions 2b may be partially overlapped and joined by an adhesive tape or the like, and the periphery of the through-hole 2 may be freely adjusted. When the cover 1 of this shape is worn as a cape, the cutout portion 2b is opened, and the periphery of the through-hole 2 is wrapped around the neck and closed. If the closed cut portions 2b are joined by an elastic tape or adhesive or the like, the cut portions 2b fit along the ridge line of the wearer's shoulders as shown in fig. 6, 7, and when the face is exposed by lifting the front side portion of the cover 1 to protrude from the through-hole 2, the closed cut portions 2b cover the ears without leaking the ordinary hair medicine liquid from the cut portions 2 b.

< invention of method for Using covering Member of basic form 1>

The above-described cover 1 has a defining characteristic in that, when the above-described cover 1 is used, first, the head of the wearer passes through the through-hole 2 of the cover 1, and as shown in fig. 5. The cover member 1 covers at least both the shoulder and the abdomen of the wearer, and in this state, the general hair medicine is applied to the hair of the wearer. Then, by lifting the front cover part hanging over the abdomen to expose the wearer's face protruding from the through hole, the periphery of the through hole is closely attached to the periphery of the wearer's face from the nape of the neck under the ears to along the forehead, and the front cover part lifted from the abdomen and the rear cover part hanging over both shoulders can wrap the hair as a whole.

To explain more specifically, when the long cover 1 shown in fig. 1 and 3 is used, first, the cover 1 is unfolded and the head passes through the through-hole 2, and it should be oriented such that the long cover partially covers the wearer's abdomen. In the case of the short cover 1 shown in fig. 2, the cover 1 is worn on a special cape hanging over the abdomen, and in this state, dyeing or treatment can be performed. Since the side of the wearer's shoulders is not restrained, the wearer can lift both arms and apply the ordinary hair medication to the hair, even alone.

After the application of the general hair medicine is completed, the face is protruded from the through-hole 2 to be exposed by lifting forward the hanging abdominal portion of the cover 1 (hereinafter, this portion is referred to as "front-side cover portion"). Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 6, 7, the rear circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is aligned with the nape of the neck, and by lifting up the front side cover part upward and forward, the face is projected from the through-hole 2 by face pushing to be exposed. As a result, the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 aligned with the nape of the neck becomes the fulcrum, and the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is pulled therefrom, and as shown in fig. 8, 9, the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is closely adhered to the periphery of the wearer's face from below the ear along the nape of the neck to along the forehead. The tightening force of the through-hole 2 at this time is not so strong as to cause discomfort but is tightly stretched around the face with an appropriate strength and an appropriate width. Then, as shown in fig. 9, the front cover part lifted from the abdomen and the cover part lifted from the rear side are bound on the head, and as shown in fig. 12, the bound parts are cut and wrap the hair as a whole.

In the case of the short cover 1 of fig. 2, the short cover can be used in combination with the cover 1 mentioned below in fig. 25 or 34, or the short cover can be used alone. When used alone, it is sufficient that the length LL from the end of the through-hole 2 to the skirt 1a is about 60cm, the lateral width L1 is about 90cm to 1m, and the length ML of the rear cover portion is 10cm to 30 cm. To wrap the hair, the front cover part is lifted and the face is protruded from the through hole 2 to be exposed, the cover parts hanging on both shoulders are lifted toward the top of the head and creased, then the rear side part of the cover will naturally cover from the nape to the rear of the head, and then the front side of the cover will cover the rear side part of the cover. Then, by pulling both edges of the skirt 1a of the front side of the cover hanging rearward up from the back of the neck and toward the forehead, both edges of the skirt 1a of the front side of the cover hanging rearward are tied together. By doing so, even the short cover 1 of fig. 2 can wrap the hair as a whole while containing air. Further, as shown in fig. 4, when it is desired to have a function of covering the table T, the length LL from the through hole 2 to the skirt may be extended to about 1m as shown in fig. 3. The wrapping method at this time is the same as described above, but in a state where the front side cover part 1a is doubled by itself, the face is protruded from the through hole 2 to be exposed, and thereafter, as described above, the doubled front side of the cover part covers the head, and both edges of the rear side part of the cover part are pulled toward the forehead and tied together. When completed, more air is contained and heat and humidity retention can be enhanced.

Further, when the table T is covered by the long covering member 1 having the skirt 1a of fig. 3, the skirt 1a spread on the table T is lifted and folded on itself, and can be superposed on the chest portion of the covering member. By doing so, even if the cover 1 spread on the table T is contaminated by the general hair medicine or the like, by superposing the skirt spread on the table on the chest, it is possible to trap dirt of the general hair medicine or the like between the chest portion of the cover and the skirt 1a of the cover. Then, as described earlier, the front cover part hanging on the abdomen is lifted to expose the face protruding from the through-hole 2, and then the front cover part is creased and placed on the head. Then, when the rear side portion of the cover is lifted from the rear and placed on top thereof, the circumferential edges of the front and rear cover portions are vertically overlapped and closed, so that the hair can be softly wrapped as a whole. Further, in addition to this, the hair may be wrapped as previously described and shown in fig. 9.

When wrapping hair, if air is contained between the cover 1 and the hair to which the general hair medicine has been applied, the inside of the cover 1 can be kept warm and moist, and the permeation effect of the general hair medicine can be enhanced. For example, in the case of the cover 1 of fig. 1 and 3, if the front side portion is lifted up from the abdomen, creased and strapped on the top of the head, and then the rear side of the cover is put on top thereof, the creased portion will contain air, and more importantly, since air is contained between the hair and the top cover portion, the air inside the cover is not affected by the outside air, and heat from the scalp maintains warmth and humidity inside the cover 1. Further, air circulation is generated in the cover 1, and in this way, the air circulation makes the hair temperature uniform, and therefore, the effectiveness of the general hair medicine becomes uniform, and the general hair medicine is prevented from drying out. In addition, since the hair is covered with the cover member 1 in a wrapped state, any pungent odor of the general hair medicine can be trapped.

In this way, when the hair is wrapped in its entirety, the periphery of the through-hole 2 is closely attached to the periphery of the face, and when the front and rear portions of the cover are turned over to the outside, no ordinary hair medicine or the like is attached, and when a garment such as a T-shirt or the like which is not open at the front is removed, no ordinary hair medicine is attached to the shirt even if the collar of the shirt contacts the cover 1, and when the shirt is removed, the cover 1 is not removed together with the shirt. Therefore, when dyeing hair at home, the T-shirt can be easily removed even if forgetting to put on the button-type coat.

The above wrapping method is a wrapping method for a hairstyle in which the hair is not a shawl-long hair, however, in the case of a shawl-long hair or a longer hairstyle, a slightly long covering member 1 that can cover a long hanging hair should be used. In addition, as shown in fig. 13, the back side portion that remains hanging on the back and the front side portion of the cover that is lifted from the abdomen and pulled toward the back and then also hanging on the back can grip the user's hair. Subsequently, for example, as shown in fig. 14, after folding both sides of the overlapped front and rear portions of the covering member at the center, and then lifting and binding the lower end portion of the hanging covering member 1 on the head, as shown in fig. 15, the bound portion is firmly held with a clip or the like. In addition, as shown in fig. 16, the lower end of the cover 1 hanging down on the back is lifted up to the head, and as shown in fig. 17, both the left and right end portions held in the hands can be tied under the chin. Alternatively, the lower end of the cover 1 hanging on the back is lifted up to the shoulder as shown in fig. 18, and the shoulder is covered with a shawl, and both ends are tied at the throat. In this way, hair hanging on the back can be wrapped by the cover member 1.

< basic form 2 of cover >

The defining characteristic of the cover shown below is that, given the cover of basic form 1, a pocket having an upper opening section is formed in either one of the covers respectively depending on the abdomen or back of the wearer, and for this pocket portion, even if the periphery of the through-hole described previously is closely adhered to the periphery of the wearer's face from the nape under the ears to along the forehead, the pocket portion remains large enough to wrap the hair as a whole.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 19 and 20, with this cover 1, when the head is passed through the through hole 2 formed in the cover 1, the cover hangs down on the abdomen and back of the wearer, respectively, and then the bag portion 3 is provided in either (as shown in fig. 20), and the open upper section 30 and the hanging portion 4 are provided (as shown in fig. 19). As shown in fig. 19 and 20, the pocket portion 3 and the overhang portion 4 are formed to have a size large enough to cover at least two shoulders and the abdomen of the wearer. In addition, as described previously, and in the same manner, after the head portion is passed through the through-hole 2, and either the portion 4 or the pouch portion 3 which is suspended on the abdomen is lifted up, as shown in fig. 21, and the face of the wearer is projected from the through-hole 2 to be exposed, as shown in fig. 22 and 23, the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is continuously adhered closely to the periphery of the face of the wearer from below the ears along the nape to along the forehead. From this state, if either the bag portion 3 or the hanging portion 4 hanging on the back is lifted up and the bag portion 3 is made to cover the hanging portion 4, as shown in fig. 24, the bag portion 3 can wrap the whole of the hair softly. Here, "softly" wrapping means that air is retained in the pocket portion 3 and the cover 1 is not pressed against the hair.

With this form of cover 1, when the cover is flattened, as shown in fig. 25, the bag portion 3 becomes a triangular bag, the opening portion 30 becomes a base thereof, the overhang portion 4 continues from the edge of the opening portion 30, and the through-hole 2 is formed in the central portion of the boundary between the bag portion 3 and the overhang portion 4. In the cover 1 of fig. 25, the height of the pocket portion 3 and the length of the overhang portion 4 are substantially the same, however, the overhang portion 4 may be shorter or longer than the pocket portion 3. Further, although the flat bag portion 3 has a substantially triangular shape, the bag portion may have a trapezoidal shape by cutting off the tip, however, the bag portion may also have a square shape. Also in this cover 1, the through-hole 2 is sized to closely fit the head of the wearer.

< invention of method for Using covering Member of basic form 2>

The defining characteristic of this form of the cover is that, when this form of the cover is used, the opening portion 30 of the above-mentioned bag portion 3 is directed upward before the ordinary hair medicine is applied to the hair, and in this state, the head portion passes through the through-hole 2, either the bag portion 3 or the hanging portion 4 is hung on the abdomen of the wearer, and the other portion is hung on the back of the wearer, thereby covering the upper half of the body of the wearer.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 19 and 20, the opening portion 30 of the bag portion 3 is directed upward, the head portion is passed through the through hole 2, the bag portion 3 is on the back, and the hanging portion 4 is hung on the abdomen. However, the opposite arrangement is also possible. In either arrangement, either pouch portion 3 and overhang portion 4, which overhangs the front or back of the wearer, are of a size to cover at least two of the shoulder and abdomen of the wearer. Therefore, when using a cover 1 with shorter overhangs 4, it is advisable to wear a special cape under the cover 1.

Continuing, when applying ordinary hair medicine to the hair, at this time, even when the user bends forward and applies the ordinary hair medicine, if the bag portion 3 hangs over the abdomen, any spilled medicine can be caught. Furthermore, in the case of long hair, the pocket portion 3 may hang down on the back and serve to hold the long hair to which the ordinary hair medicine is to be applied. However, when the through-hole 2 surrounds the neck of the wearer, the cover 1 can freely rotate centering on the through-hole 2, and thus, whether the pocket portion 3 is disposed on the abdomen or the back, the appropriate choice depends on the wearer's preference. More importantly, as regards the pocket portion 3, it is in the shape of an inverted triangular pyramid when worn, as will be described later; the pocket portion 3 covers the overhang portion 4 covering the hair or remains overhanging on the back, integrally covers the hair together with the overhang portion 4, and this form of cover can more easily integrally cover the hair than the form 1 of cover described above. More importantly, since either the head-covering bag portion 3 or the back-hanging bag portion 3 has a gas reservoir at the top end portion like a triangular cap, the cover member 1 has excellent heat retention.

The defining characteristic here is that either one or the other of the pocket portion 3 or the hanging portion 4 hanging on the abdomen is lifted up and forward after the ordinary hair medicine is applied, the face of the wearer is made to protrude from the through-hole 2 to be exposed, and the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is closely adhered to the periphery of the face of the wearer from below the ears along the nape to along the forehead; and the hair is connected to the bag portion 3 and the hanging portion 4 which are lifted to the head, and the hair is entirely wrapped in a state where the air is contained in the hair.

Specifically, with the cover member 1 itself, or in a state where the cover member 1 is worn on a dedicated cape to prevent spilling, when a given application of hair dyeing or hair treatment is completed, as shown in fig. 21, the overhang pattern 4 overhanging the abdomen is lifted upward, and the face is protruded from the through-hole 2 to be exposed. Further, in the reverse arrangement, the pocket portion 3 on the abdomen is lifted upward and the face is protruded from the through-hole to be exposed, and then, as shown in fig. 22 and 23, the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is continuously adhered closely to the face of the wearer along the nape under the ear and to the forehead. At this time, the tightening force of the through-holes 2 is not so strong as to cause a sense of discomfort, but has a proper strength and a proper width to be continuously and closely adhered to the periphery of the wearer's face, as described above. It should be noted that fig. 22 and 23 show a modification in which the head is covered with the hanging portion 4 hanging on the abdomen.

Continuing, as shown in fig. 23 and 24, the overhang portion 4 is lifted up from the abdomen and crumples and covers the crown of the head; and on the parietal portion, the bag portion 3 is lifted from the back to cover the overhang portion. In the opposite case, as shown in fig. 26 and 27, the overhang pattern 4 is lifted up from the back and is crumpled and covers the head; and on the crown, the bag portion 3 is lifted from the abdomen to cover the overhang portion. In this way, the aim is to gently wrap the hair in its entirety with the crumpled overhang portion 4 covering the head covered by the pocket portion 3. As a result, air is contained not only within the wrinkled hanging portion 4 but also between the hanging portion 4 and the bag portion 3 covering the hanging portion 4, thereby keeping warmth and humidity inside the cover member 1 as described above, thereby promoting the permeation effect of the general hair medicine.

Further, instead of covering the wrinkled hanging portions 4 with the bag portions 3, air may be contained in the cover member 1 by the following method. For example, in the cover 1 shown in fig. 25, when the pocket portion 3 is placed on the back and the face portion protrudes from the through hole 2 to be exposed, as shown in fig. 28, if the edge of the front overhang 4 and the left and right upper edge portions E of the cover 1 shown in fig. 28 overlap and close and the closed upper edge portion E is twisted to form a protrusion in the cover 1, as shown in fig. 29, due to the state in which the head H protrudes from the through hole 2 provided at the bottom of the ship, then the cover 1 can contain air. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 30, when the twisted tip portion is firmly held by the holder F, the hair to which the general hair medicine has been applied can be gently wrapped in its entirety in a state where the cover member 1 contains air.

Further, in fig. 30, the twisted tip portion is firmly held by the clip F, but instead of using the clip F, as shown in fig. 31, a stopper 8 in a ring shape is provided on the rear side of the overhang pattern 4 contacting the abdomen (in other words, the side which becomes the front side of the overhang pattern 4 when being lifted over the head), and if the tip portion of fig. 29 pulled by a finger is inserted into the stopper 8, thereby it is difficult to remove the tip portion from the stopper 8, and then it can be used as a substitute for the clip F of fig. 30. With the stopper 8, when the overhang pattern 4 is used as a cape, the stopper is attached to the back side of the overhang pattern 4 in a tunnel-like band. It should be noted that the position and size of the stopper 8 and the direction of the ring are not limited to those shown in fig. 31.

Further, when the skirt 1a of the hanging part 4 shown in fig. 31 is extended, and as shown in fig. 4, in the case of spreading the skirt 1a of the hanging part 4 on the table T, when the skirt 1a of the hanging part 4 spread on the table T is lifted and the hanging part 4 is overlapped on the chest, or the state as shown in fig. 21 is maintained, and the hanging part 4 is lifted to expose the face protruding from the through hole 2, the hanging part is creased and covers the head, and then if the bag part 3 on the back is lifted to cover the hanging part, the hair can be wrapped softly as a whole as shown in fig. 24. In this case, the wrinkled overhang portion 4 is expanded to about twice the size, and thus if the bag portion 3 covers the wrinkled overhang portion, a thicker air layer is formed between the cover member 1 and the hair, and the heat and moisture retention effects can be further enhanced.

Further, in the case of using the hair dye at home, as in the case of a professional, since many cases are dyed without using a cap or a film wrap, as described above, after the bag part 3 is lifted from the abdomen and covers the head, as shown in fig. 32, even if only the left and right ends hanging over the shoulders in fig. 32 are tied under the chin, any pungent odor can be intercepted by the covering member 1, as well as kept warm and humid, as shown in fig. 33. In this case, the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is closely adhered to the forehead, and from the forehead, the bag portion 3 stands up and covers the hair, and then as shown in fig. 33, when the bag portion 3 is in contact with the cheek, air can be contained in the upper tip portion 3t of the bag portion 3 and the portion 31 along the hairline. Therefore, in the case of hair dyeing at home, even if the bag part 3 covers the head and the inside of the cover 1 is kept in a closed state, the air layer inside can keep the hair warm and moist and the hair temperature is uniform, and as a result, irregular dyeing, discoloration, and the like can be prevented and dyeing can be performed without inconsistency. More importantly, in case of dyeing gray hair, by lightly pressing the hairline part from the top of the cover member 1, the general hair medicine can be brought into close contact with the gray hair which easily repels the medicine, and the state can be maintained, and also the hair dyeing-related hair part can be dyed without causing errors or inconsistencies. Further, even in the case of using a professional hair medicine used in a beauty parlor or barbershop, with this method of use, the inside of the cover 1 can create an environment sufficient to allow permeation of general hair medicine, even at an appropriate room temperature, for the medicine, and without the influence of breeze from an air conditioner.

In addition, with the cover member 1 which is not covered from above as in the conventional hair cap, but is covered from a state where the bag portion 3 and the hanging portion 4 are put through like a cape, one or the other of the bag portion 3 or the hanging portion 4 hanging on the abdomen is lifted up to expose the face protruding from the through-hole 2, and the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 can be made to adhere closely to the skin around the face without coming into contact with the hair to which the general hair medicine has been applied. Therefore, compared with the conventional method in which the hair cap is covered from above, not only can the cover be worn without worrying about the adhesion of hair medicine to the face as in the conventional hair cap, but also the hair protruding from the periphery of the hair cap does not have to be put back inside the hair cap, and thus it is very easy to wear.

Further, in the case of enlarging the size of the cover member 1 to the size covering the upper half of the body of the wearer, when the general hair medicine is applied to the hair, the cover member becomes a cape for preventing the spill. More importantly, since the hair can be held in the bag portion 3 while applying the general hair medicine, the cover member 1 is highly safe and can prevent contamination of the surrounding environment. More importantly, by extending and spreading the skirt 1a of the overhang pattern 4 on a table, it does not matter even if the hair medicine drops on the table at the time of dyeing, and a general hair medicine can be used. In addition, since the length and width are sufficient to cope with the movement of the wearer when applying the hair medicine, there is no fear that the skirt 1a may fall from the table T. More importantly, for the hair medicine dropped from the hair, after the medicine is collected in the inverted triangular pyramid of the bag portion 3, since a small hole can be opened at the lower end to collect the medicine, the hair medicine which is smooth and has low viscosity can be used. In addition, if the medicine is attached to the inside of the bag portion 3, the medicine is wiped off and covered, and since the bag portion 3 is in the shape of an inverted triangular pyramid and the bundled hanging portion 4 is included in the bag portion 3, it is easy to wrap the hair softly and entirely.

< basic form 3 of cover >

A defining characteristic of a given cover is that it has the following form as shown in fig. 25 and 31. As given in the basic form 2 of the cover, perforations are cut from the left and right edges of a given cover in the direction of the through-hole along the ridge line of the wearer's shoulders, which is the boundary between the aforementioned pocket portion 3 and overhang portion 4, but which do not reach the through-hole.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 34, at the boundary between the bag portion 3 and the overhang portion 4, notches 5 are cut from the left and right end portions of a given cover 1 toward the through-hole 2. The position of the recess 5 is the position along the ridge line of the shoulder when the cover 1 is put on as a cape. Further, as for the depth of the notch, the depth of the notch is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the distance D from the left and right edges D to the edge of the through-hole 2. With the notches 5 inserted, when the cover 1 is put on, the left and right ends of the bag portion 3 are separated from the left and right ends of the hanging portion 4, so that the opening 30 (shown in fig. 35) of the hanging bag portion 3 can be opened more widely. Specifically, when the cover 1 is thin, it is difficult to keep the pocket portion 3 open like an inverted triangular pyramid when the pocket portion 3 hangs down, but due to the inserted notch 5, even if the cover 1 becomes thinner and more fragile, the pocket portion 3 can be kept like an inverted triangular pyramid. It should be noted that it is preferable to provide the recess 5 on both shoulders, but the same effect can be obtained by providing the recess 5 on only one shoulder.

In addition, as described later, the hanging portion 4 may also be formed in an inverted triangular pyramid shape similar to the bag portion 3, and the same bag portion may be hung on the abdominal side to receive the general hair medicine.

In fig. 34, the outline of the opening 30 of the bag portion 3 in the flat state is an arc, but it is not necessarily formed in an arc, and a straight line may be cut from the ridge line along the shoulder to the substantially middle. In addition, when the pocket portion 3 or the tip portion 31 (as shown in fig. 36 and 37) is formed of a thick sheet, the pocket portion 3 or the tip portion 31 of the inverted triangular pyramid may be maintained by the material strength of the pocket portion 3 or the tip portion 31 when the pocket portion 3 is expanded into the inverted triangular pyramid or covers the head.

Even with this form of cover 1, the method of use is as described previously, but, in particular, when the bag portion 3 covers the head, the bag portion becomes a triangular hat and does not easily lose its shape, so the overhang portion 4 that creases on the head can be wrapped more easily, and there are the following advantages: whether the bag portion is head-covering or draped over the back, a large volume of air can be contained in the bag portion 3.

Both the cover 1 described earlier and the cover 1 behind can be folded, so when they are stored in the box, they are stored in the box Ba in a folded and stacked state as shown in fig. 38. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 39, a plurality of cover members 1 arranged in a stripe shape are wound into a roll and stored in a box Bb so that they can be pulled out. When this is done, they are used as if the tissue (paper towel) is pulled out of the opening of the box Ba individually, as shown in fig. 38. Further, in fig. 39, the individual cover 1 can be pulled out from the roll stored in the box Bb like a film wrap and separated by a perforation 6 formed at the boundary with the next cover 1 to be ready for use.

< basic form 4 of cover >

With the cover 1 heretofore, one side is the bag portion 3 and the other side is the flat hanging portion 4, but with the cover 1 below, the hanging portion 4 is also made into a bag, and when the head of the wearer passes through the through-hole 2 provided near the center of the cover 1, as shown in fig. 43 and 44, the cover has a structure such that the upper half of the body of the wearer (excluding the arms of the wearer) can be covered with the abdominal portion 3a of the cover and the back portion 3b of the cover. In addition, as shown in fig. 45, when the abdominal pouch portion 3a is lifted to expose the wearer's face protruding from the through-hole 2, as shown in fig. 46, the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 is stretched and closely adhered to the skin around the wearer's face from below the ears along the nape to along the forehead. The state of the abdominal pocket portion 3a and the back pocket portion 3b is large enough to cover the wearer's head.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 45, the abdominal pocket portion 3a covers the head in a state where the wearer's face is protruded from the through hole 2 to be exposed, and if the back pocket portion 3b is lifted and covers the abdominal pocket portion, the front pocket portion 3a and the rear pocket portion 3b may be entirely wrapped with hair. In this case, if each pocket portion 3a and 3b is made in the shape of a triangular pyramid, the tip of the triangular pyramid becomes non-slidable, and each pocket portion 3a and 3b can cover hair without slipping. Therefore, since the pocket portions 3a and 3b both cover the head like a normal headband, they can be held on the head, so that one person can easily wrap the hair, as compared with the case where one side is a sheet and the other side is a pocket portion.

When each bag portion 3a and 3b is laid flat as in the state shown in fig. 41, each bag portion becomes an isosceles triangular bag having an open base, and when each bag portion is put through, they become open bases of the inverted triangular pyramid-shaped bag portions 3a and 3b as shown in fig. 43 and 44. By placing the bag portions 3a and 3b so as to sandwich the through-hole 2 symmetrically, one bag portion serves as the bag portion 3a of the abdomen and the other bag portion serves as the bag portion 3b of the back. With this cover 1, when the respective bag portions 3a and 3b of the mode 1 are kneaded and lifted, the cover becomes a rectangular bag having an opened upper portion, as shown in fig. 42. The reason for this is that, with this cover member 1, the cover member can be easily manufactured by dividing the rectangular plastic bag into two along the center line. More importantly, each of the bag portions 3a and 3b can catch any hair medicine dripping when ordinary hair medicine is applied to the hair, and after the medicine is applied, the bag portions 3a and 3b become caps covering the hair, and thus the shape of the bag portion 3 does not have to be an inverted triangular pyramid shape. For example, one or the other or both of the respective bag portions 3a and 3b in fig. 41 may be rectangular bags.

< basic form 5 of cover >

As for fig. 47, it shows an external perspective view of the basic form 5 of the cover 1, and as for fig. 48, it is a diagram when viewed from the rear and the cover 1 is worn. This basic form 5 of the cover 1 shown in fig. 47 and 48, in the vicinity of the shoulder, in this state of the cover 1, one bag portion 3a hangs on the abdomen side of the wearer and the other bag portion 3b hangs on the back of the wearer, forming the notch 32 from the left and right end portions toward the inside of the cover 1. When the cover 1 has no notch 32, when the wearer bends forward or stretches his arm forward, the opening 30 of the pocket portion 3b on the back is closed, and the hair falling from the shoulder cannot be gathered in the pocket portion 3 b. However, by inserting the notch 32, as shown in fig. 48, since the opening 30 of the pocket portion 3b on the back is greatly expanded and opened, it is possible to gather the hair hanging on the back in the pocket portion 3b without the wearer having to look into a mirror. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the notch 32 on a vertical line passing through the edge 21 of the through-hole 2 to the nape of the wearer's neck. In addition, since the folded portion 33 having a collar shape is formed in the bag portion 3b of the back portion when the notch 32 is formed, there is an advantage that the fitting property is good when the bag portion 3b of the back portion covers the bag portion 3a of the abdomen portion.

< basic form 6 of cover >

The basic forms 4 and 5 of the cover member 1 can be easily manufactured by dividing a rectangular plastic bag into two parts at the center line, but the material of the through-holes 2 is slightly shrunk after expansion so as not to return to the original size, and thus it is difficult to reuse. Therefore, it is assumed that the cover member 1 formed of a polyethylene material or the like is disposable. However, in recent years, there has been a demand for reducing waste of plastic, and in order to meet this demand, the cover must be reusable. The cover 1 shown in fig. 49 is an example of a cover 1 that can meet this demand.

As shown in fig. 49, the cover member 1 is formed of a thick rectangular sheet 10 and a small thin rectangular sheet 11, and a large through hole 20 is opened in the central portion of the thick sheet 10, and a head portion easily passes through the large through hole 20. In addition, the upper and lower halves of the two short sides of the slab 10 have fasteners 32a and 32b attached, respectively. The fasteners 32a and 32b are, for example, surface fasteners or collets that can be freely opened and closed. In addition, as shown by the broken lines in fig. 49, the four corners of the thick sheet 10 are folded in the arrow direction along the diagonal folding lines 34. And the overlapped short sides of the upper half portion and the short sides of the lower half portion are connected by the fasteners 32a and 32b, and thereby the shape of the cover member 1 shown in fig. 41 is formed. In this way, when the slab 10 is washed or dried, the fasteners 32a and 32b are unfastened to form a single sheet 10, and this facilitates drying and makes the sheet 10 easy to use. The cover may also be used as a cape for children's hair cutting.

Further, a through-hole 2 having a size allowing the head of the wearer to closely pass therethrough may be provided in a substantially central portion of the thick sheet 10, but when the through-hole is repeatedly used, since the through-hole 2 is stretched and may not be closely adhered to the skin around the face, for example, 30cm which may be stretched by hand may be separately prepared²And a second through hole 2a having a size allowing the head of the wearer to closely pass therethrough is provided in a central portion of the sheet 11. In addition, with respect to the outer peripheral section of the second through-hole 2a, for example, a quadrangular sheet 11 as shown in fig. 49, a joining material 12 such as an adhesive material is provided in the peripheral section of the sheet 11Or double-sided adhesive tape, etc.

In addition, the thin sheet 11 is then placed on the large through hole 20 of the thick sheet 10, and both are bonded by the bonding material 12. At this time, the second through hole 2a of the sheet 11 and the large through hole 20 of the thick sheet 10 are overlapped and coaxially joined. In this way, even if the second through hole 2a is stretched by use, the thick sheet 10 can be repeatedly used by being replaced with a new thin sheet 11.

For the slab 10, for example, the slab 10 may be made of a material such as polyethylene, polyester, or polyurethane. Further, the sheet 11 may be formed of, for example, a polyethylene sheet that can be stretched by hand. However, the present invention is not limited to these materials, and the sheet 11 may be made of, for example, a rubber sheet for medical use.

For actual practical use, a plurality of thin sheets 11 are prepared for the thick sheet 10, and spacers are provided for the bonding material 12 provided on the outer periphery of the second through-hole 2a of the thin sheet 11. In use, the spacer is peeled off to cover the through-holes 20 of the slab 10 so that it can be bonded. In this way, the slab 10 can be reused by replacing and using the thin sheet 11.

< invention of the method of Using basic form 4>

When the cover 1 of fig. 41 and 47 is used, the pouch portions 3a and 3b having the respective opening portions 30 should be directed upward, and the head of the wearer passes through the through-hole 2 of the cover 1. Thus, as shown in fig. 43, 44 and 48, bag portions 3a and 3b having upper openings respectively hang on the abdomen side and back side of the wearer. Thus, the cover 1 becomes a cape for preventing spilling. In this state, after applying a general hair medicine (e.g., a hair dye or a treatment agent, etc.), as shown in fig. 45, by lifting the bag portion 3a suspended on the abdomen side, the wearer's face protrudes from the through-hole 2 to be exposed. During this time, the nape side of the through-hole 2 is stretched and bundled, the front side of the through-hole 2 is pushed and stretched by the face, and as shown in fig. 46, the state of the stretched surface thereof is a state of being closely adhered to the skin around the face. At this time, the tightening force of the through-hole 2 is not so strong as to cause discomfort, and the through-hole 2 is closely adhered to the skin with appropriate strength and appropriate width by stretching and thinning.

Continuing, one or the other of the bag portions 3b of the back covers the hair protruding from the bag portion 3a covering the abdomen of the head as shown in fig. 50, or the hair is entirely wrapped by the bag portion 3a covering the head covered by the bag portion 3b of the back as shown in fig. 51.

As shown in fig. 49, the cover member 1 composed of the thick sheet 10 and the thin sheet 11 can wrap the whole hair by the same procedure. During this time, since the pocket portions 3a and 3b are formed of the thick sheet 11, respectively, the respective opening portions 30 of the pocket portions 3a and 3b are kept open without being closed, so that they can catch ordinary hair medicines, and the pocket portion 3b on the rear side can catch hair on the rear side. Further, after the hair medicine has been applied, as shown in fig. 45, in the case of using a hair conditioner, the hair conditioner is added to the hair conditioner. As shown in fig. 45, if the bag portion 3a hanging on the abdomen side is lifted up and the wearer's face is protruded from the second through hole 2a to be exposed, the abdomen bag portion 3a comes into a state of wrapping the hair, and if the rear bag portion 3b is lifted up to go over the head to cover the head, the hair can be easily wrapped entirely.

Further, when the cover 1 shown in fig. 41 is used, the hair is wrapped as shown in fig. 50, since the left and right protrusions 34 are shielded, the left and right protrusions 34 may be tied to the rear as shown in fig. 52, and the left and right protrusions 34 may be rotated to the front and tied under the chin as shown in fig. 53. As a result, the cover 1 wrapping the hair can be compactly accommodated.

Effects of the invention

According to the present invention, instead of covering the head from above as in the conventional hair cap, starting from a state where the upper half of the wearer's body is covered with a cape-like cover, the cover hanging over the abdomen is lifted up to expose the face protruding from the through-hole, and the circumferential edge of the through-hole from the nape to along the forehead is closely adhered to the periphery of the face without contacting the ordinary hair medicine that has been applied to the hair. Further, in this state, the hanging cover turns inside out and covers the hair, and therefore, even if ordinary hair medicines or the like stick to the outer surface of the cover, it is turned over and is retained in the cover, so that the outer surface of the cover wrapping the hair can be kept in a clean state at all times.

Further, when the hair is wrapped with the cover, one size of the cover is large enough that the wrinkled portions hanging over at least the abdomen and the back are covered with another portion of the cover so as to wrap the hair entirely, or a portion of the cover is covered, and because a portion of the cover wraps the hair entirely, air is contained between a portion of the cover contacting the hair and a portion of the cover covering the portion, and the air becomes an insulator. Compared with the traditional hair cap or film wrapping material, the covering element has excellent warm keeping and moisture keeping performance, and can better promote the permeation of common hair medicaments.

Further, the air contained by the covering member for hair covering is heated by the scalp temperature to make the hair temperature uniform, so that it is possible to eliminate inconsistent dyeing, uneven coloring, and the like, which may occur due to temperature differences. Further, when the hairline having a large number of undyed portions is lightly pressed from the top of the cover 1, the general hair medicine can be kept very close to the hairline. Therefore, even amateur people can almost perfectly perform hair dyeing by using the cover member.

Further, the cover can widely hang over the abdomen and back of the wearer when the head passes through the through-hole, and can serve as a cape to prevent spilling when ordinary hair medicines are applied to the hair. Further, with the cover having the bag portion, it is possible to hold hair in the bag portion and to apply the ordinary hair medicine, and therefore even if the ordinary hair medicine is scattered or dropped from hair, it is possible to hold it in the bag portion and prevent it from being scattered into the surrounding environment. More importantly, since any ordinary hair medicine dropped from the hair can be collected in the "cone bag" and then a small hole can be opened at the lower end to gather the ordinary hair medicine, the pouring application of the ordinary hair medicine and the like becomes possible.

Further, since both sides of the cover are opened like the sleeves when the cover is worn as a cape, the wearer himself can lift both arms and hair dye. Further, for the cover centering around the neck with the head passing through the through hole, the bag portion can be rotated to the abdomen or the back, and thus the cover can be used according to the preference of the user. In addition, since the cover member of the head passing through the through-hole is not slid, it becomes a home cover member which can be independently dyed without contaminating the surrounding environment.

Further, as for the cover member made of a synthetic resin sheet which is stretched when pulled, especially by making the face protrude from the through hole smaller than the head to expose the synthetic resin sheet, since the periphery of the through hole can be closely adhered to the periphery of the face of the wearer from the nape of the neck under the ears to along the forehead, the cover member has a function of preventing the liquid from leaking to the face or the nape of the neck even if the liquid is dropped due to the application of the general hair medicine to the hair. Also, since the circumferential edge of the stretched through-hole is not so strong as to cause discomfort, the covering member can be placed for a long time without feeling discomfort.

More importantly, with the covering element, when it is in the folded state, it becomes flat and almost rectangular in shape, so that it can be inexpensively mass-produced from a strip-like film and can be discarded, so that it is not necessary to wash it like a conventional hair cap. Thus, usability is improved for beauty salons and barber shops, and the cover is hygienic and pleasant for consumers.

In addition, the through-holes closely adhered to the periphery of the face closely adhered to the skin with an appropriate tension and an appropriate width, so even if the worn T-shirt is taken off, the cover does not slip off together with the T-shirt, and therefore, when the button shirt is forgotten to be worn and dyeing of hair has started, the task can be continued without interference.

More importantly, if the skirt of the extended cover hangs over the abdomen, the cover may not only cover the abdomen but also function as a stain-proof sheet for the table when worn as a cape, since the extended skirt may be spread over the table.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, a form of the cover of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following description focuses on the points that have not been described so far.

As for the cover member 1, it may have various forms, but as for the through-hole 2, the size of the through-hole allows the head of the wearer to pass through it closely, and when the front side of the cover member 1 is lifted up and the face protruding from the through-hole 2 is exposed, the through-hole must have a shape that causes the circumferential edge of the through-hole 2 to stretch and adhere closely to the periphery of the face of the wearer from the nape of the neck under the ears to along the forehead. In this way, the plastic bag is formed of polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like as a sheet having extensibility. Therefore, experiments were conducted using plastic bags of various thicknesses, which were used to determine which degree of elasticity had appropriate strength for closely adhering to the periphery of the face.

During these experiments, transparent and translucent plastic bags having thicknesses of 0.008mm, 0.015mm, 0.025mm and 0.03mm were purchased, and the circumference was formed to be 38cm in each through-hole. It is 53cm for the size of the through hole through which the head (including the hair) of the wearer passes; and it is 56 cm for the perimeter of the face protruding from the through hole to expose from the nape of the neck under the ears to along the forehead. An experiment was performed under these conditions, in which the head was passed through a through-hole having a circumference of 38cm, and the face was protruded from the through-hole to be exposed. The results are shown in table 1.

[ Table 1]

According to the experiment, for the covering member 1 made of the plastic bag, the transparent sheet has better stretchability than the translucent sheet and has excellent adhesion, but since the translucent sheet has high rigidity, and when being wrinkled to form the internal air layer, it can be said that the translucent sheet has excellent heat retention property. Therefore, when the room temperature is low and better heat retention is desired, a translucent sheet is preferable; and when the room temperature is high and the heat retention is not important, a transparent sheet is preferable. In addition, if the thickness of the sheet is at least 0.04mm, considerable resistance is felt when the face portion protrudes from the through-hole 2 to be exposed, and therefore when a thick sheet is used, it is necessary to adjust the through-hole 2 to the size of the head portion.

It should be noted that the plastic bag used herein is merely an example, but, for example, the plastic bag may be an EVA resin (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) excellent in flexibility and rubber elasticity, or a polyethylene sheet to which an EVA resin is added, or the like; however, they also differ in thickness and elasticity, and therefore an appropriate one can be selected therefrom.

Furthermore, in view of the distinguishing features, there is also a method of using two cover members 1 having different thicknesses. For example, a transparent cover 1 having a thickness of 0.008mm and a translucent cover 1 having a thickness of 0.025mm may be prepared, and the former thin cover 1 has the form of the cover 1 shown in fig. 1, and the latter thick cover 1 has the form of the cover 1 shown in fig. 25, 31 or 34 or 36. After the head of the wearer passes through the through-hole 2 of the thick cover 1, the head of the wearer passes through the second layer through-hole 2 of the thin cover 1 at the top of the through-hole. In this state, after the application of the general hair medicine, when the face is protruded from the through hole 2 of the thin cover member 1 to be exposed, the face is protruded from the through hole 2 of the thick cover member 1 to be exposed, and the face enters a state where the periphery of the face is covered by the through hole 2 of the cover member 1 in two layers. In this state, when the thin cover 1 is creased and placed on the head, and then the thick cover 1 is placed on top of the thin cover 1, the warmth and humidity inside the cover 1 can be better maintained; and the thick cover 1 covers the thin cover, it becomes a cover 1 which easily wraps the hair and has high heat insulating property.

Further, when the cover is used as a cape, the cover may be used in various ways depending on the placement position of the through-hole 2 of the cover 1. For example, if the pocket portion 3 is longer than the overhang portion 4, as shown in fig. 20, long hairs can be held in the pocket portion 3 for applying a general hair medicine, and thus, the cover can be used as a cape for the long hairs. Furthermore, when individuals are dyeing their hair at home, they often bend forward and apply it while looking into a mirror, and therefore may take the form of a short pouch portion 3 hanging over the abdomen and a long hanging portion 4 hanging over the back.

Further, as shown in fig. 25, when the bag portion 3 covers the head of the wearer and along the edge "a" contacting the forehead of the wearer, if the tether 9 partially separable in the left-right direction is provided, the tether 9 may keep the bag portion fixed while the bag portion 3 covers the head.

Here, by the meaning of "partially detachable", the base portion 9a of the tether 9 is actually a part of the bag portion 3, and the other portion can be appropriately detached from the bag portion 3. Specifically, as shown in fig. 25, cutting is previously performed at the perforation 9b along the edge "a" of the bag part 3, and after the perforation 9b is cut to form the tether 9, if the longitudinal perforation 9c located at the central portion of the tether 9 divides it into left and right portions, as shown in fig. 40, the tether 9 can be taken out in the left and right directions from both sides of the front edge "a" of the bag part 3.

For the tether 9 to hold the bag portion 3 in place on the head, the tether 9 (see fig. 40) is detached from the bag portion 3 and tied, for example, near the nape of the neck or under the chin; when this is done, the bag portion 3 covering the hair is fixed. Further, when the bag portion 3 hanging on the back is lifted up toward the head 3, the left and right tethers 9 are held and pulled up, and even the elderly can cover the head with the bag portion 3 alone.

Further, in the case of use in a beauty parlor or barbershop, since the cover 1 is worn on clothes or shawl by consumers to prevent spilling, it is not necessary to use the cover 1 as a shawl, and this depends on regulations in service, a permanent wave product for hair, a waterproof paper or the like for straight hair wave worn, or attaching a woven foil or the like to hair. Sometimes, the hair is caused to hang naturally downward; after the application of the general hair medicine, since a time difference method, a straightening treatment, the use of a moist heat promoter or a dry heat promoter are used, a size capable of wrapping various devices (permanent wave articles, etc.) attached to the head is preferable for the bag portion 3 and the overhang portion 4. Therefore, when the cover member 1 is commercialized, it is preferable to prepare a plurality of cover members 1 having different sizes and thicknesses, etc. according to the length and purpose of hair, the position and form of the through-hole 2, and the pocket portion and the overhang portion having the corresponding form.

In beauty salons and barbershops, hair medicine spills or splashes when combing hair even when ordinary hair medicine is applied, and the medicine is collected in the inverted triangular pyramid hanging on the back, and the medicine can be prevented from accidentally sticking to the surrounding environment. In addition, as for the bag portion 3, since the bag portion is flexible and extensible, the bag portion 3 is changed into various shapes depending on the standing area of the service provider, the corresponding service itself, and the overall service performance can be improved.

With the conventional cape for preventing the spilling and the dirtying, the conventional cape prevents the general hair medicine from adhering to the consumer, but the conventional cape cannot prevent the secondary contamination when the general hair medicine sticks to the cape or the service provider itself. For example, since the service provider works in close proximity to the consumer's surroundings when applying ordinary hair medication, the hair medication may stick to shawl and hair and may be stroked when the service provider actually provides the service, and the service provider may continue to provide the service without noticing that any ordinary hair medication sticks to itself. In these cases, for hair medications that stick to the service provider itself, the hair medication can lead to an accident where the hair medication sticks to the consumer or the surrounding environment.

Further, in the case of pouring the liquid of the ordinary hair medicine onto the hair held in the pocket part 3 hanging on the back, since the ordinary hair medicine dripping from the hair can be collected in the tip part of the inverted triangular pyramid, the tip part can be cut open, and the medicine can be collected from the tip into the bowl. Further, after the general hair medicine has been applied, the cut tip portion is bent and twisted, and then is firmly closed due to a band, a clip, or the like, and a bag portion 3 having a closed hole may be used.

In the case of conventional permanent wave, a U-shaped bowl is used to collect a permanent wave agent poured on hair. For the bowl, which hangs under the ears from left to right along the nape of the neck, the bowl is a closely attached U-shaped container that hangs over the shoulder of the consumer to collect the dripping perming agent and thereafter wraps the hair with a hair cap or film wrap; however, if the cover 1 is used, the U-shaped bowl is not required, and attaching and detaching work for the bowl is not required. In addition, since it is not necessary to correctly use these tools when providing services, service time is reduced, and burden is reduced not only for consumers but also for service providers.

In addition, in beauty salons and barbershops, consumers are covered with a cloak-like cloth having an opening on the back in order to prevent spillage and stains. However, when the consumer moves forward or bends forward, the overlapped cloth hanging on the back is opened, and as a result, the general hair medicine stuck to the cloth sticks to clothes, and so on, but if the cover 1 is used, such an accident can be prevented.

More importantly, since the circumferential edges of the through holes 2 are closely adhered to the periphery of the face, in the case of wrapping hair by the cover member 1, even if a worn T-shirt or the like which is not opened on the front side is removed, the cover member 1 does not slip off together with the T-shirt. Further, in the bathroom, at the time of shampooing, if the top portion of the cover 1 is grasped and pulled upward, the through-hole 2 slips off from the head, and since the general hair medicine is located inside the cover 1, nothing is attached to the hand or the surrounding environment, and therefore, even after removal, the cover 1 is rolled up, since the general hair medicine can be prevented from leaking, after the general hair medicine service is applied, an accident of attaching the general hair medicine can be prevented.

Further, in a beauty shop, a barber shop, or the like, a consumer is guided to a shampoo stand and shampooes hair, removes a clip, a pin, or the like that firmly holds the cover 1, and if the cover 1 is pulled horizontally, the cover 1 can be removed from the inside of the shampoo trap, so there is no risk of contaminating the surrounding environment. In addition, in the case where a permanent wave article, a waterproof paper, or the like has been applied to the hair, before the cover 1 is removed, the pocket portion 3 and the overhang portion 4 are opened in the shampoo earthenware, the permanent wave article, or the like is removed, and then the cover 1 may be removed. Therefore, when the consumer moves to a shampoo stand or the like, or when the cover 1 is removed, accidents related to the attachment of general hair medicines can be prevented. More importantly, since no hair medicine is attached to the conventional neck rest pad of the shampoo earthenware which supports the back of the neck of the consumer, the reverse bending of the hair due to the reattachment of the general hair medicine near the back of the neck can be eliminated and thus the shampooing time can be reduced.
