Definitions
- the present invention relates to hair bibs used by beauticians in the treatment of an individual customer.
- a specialized hair bib with a semi-rigid front panel and fluid guide that prevents liquids from dripping onto the face or the front of the customer's clothes by directing liquids toward the back of the hair bib.
- it includes a partial elastic band which works in combination with adjustable end tabs to control the tension applied to the wearer's head and the manner in which the semi-rigid front panel is shaped to form a channel.
- Hair bibs have been used extensively in beauty parlors for a number of years. Typically, they are secured to the customer's head just below the hairline and provide a waterproof barrier to protect the back of the customer's clothing from water and hair treatment fluids. Unfortunately, they are typically very flexible. The flexibility of existing hair bibs does not pose a problem for the extended length rear portion of the bib that protects the user's back. However, the front portion of the hair bib does pose a problem for the customer. In particular, due to the flexible nature of the bibs, the short front strap that secures the bib tends to drape downward toward the user's face. As a result, fluids can drip from the user's hair downward on both the face of the user as well as the front of the user's clothing. It would be desirable to have a hair bib that protects not only the rear of the user's clothing, but also the user's face and the front side of the user's clothing.
- Hair bibs also are difficult to secure to a user's head such that they do not leak, but also are comfortable to wear. Often, they either leak, or when they do not leak, they are uncomfortable because they are too tight. This is caused in part by the use of a single elastic band that entirely circles the wearer's head. In order to ensure that the bib does not leak, elastic band is often sized such that it is too snug. In turn, this leads to discomfort for the wearer. It would be desirable to have a hair bib which does not leak, but could also be comfortably worn.
- the present invention provides a hair bib with a partial elastic band that works in conjunction adjustable end tabs.
- the partial elastic band provides pressure around a substantial portion of the wearer's head to prevent leaks, while he and hands are used to adjust pressure applied by the elastic band and to adjustably shape the front panel.
- a semi-rigid deformable front panel is used that holds its shape during use.
- the front flap may be bent to form a channel to guide water away from the face of the user toward the rear flap of the bib.
- Optional hook and loop strips allow the front panel to be split for easy attachment and detachment from a user.

Abstract
A hair bib with a partial elastic band that works in combination with adjustable end tabs to modify pressure on the wearer of the hair bib. The hair bib is fabricated as a semi-rigid deformable front panel that holds its shape during use. The front flap may be bent to form a channel to guide water away from the face of the user toward the rear flap of the bib. Hook and loop strips allow the front panel to be split for easy attachment and detachment from a user, and for the securing pressure to be modified for comfort.
Description
- The present invention relates to hair bibs used by beauticians in the treatment of an individual customer. In particular, it relates to a specialized hair bib with a semi-rigid front panel and fluid guide that prevents liquids from dripping onto the face or the front of the customer's clothes by directing liquids toward the back of the hair bib. In addition, it includes a partial elastic band which works in combination with adjustable end tabs to control the tension applied to the wearer's head and the manner in which the semi-rigid front panel is shaped to form a channel.
- Hair bibs have been used extensively in beauty parlors for a number of years. Typically, they are secured to the customer's head just below the hairline and provide a waterproof barrier to protect the back of the customer's clothing from water and hair treatment fluids. Unfortunately, they are typically very flexible. The flexibility of existing hair bibs does not pose a problem for the extended length rear portion of the bib that protects the user's back. However, the front portion of the hair bib does pose a problem for the customer. In particular, due to the flexible nature of the bibs, the short front strap that secures the bib tends to drape downward toward the user's face. As a result, fluids can drip from the user's hair downward on both the face of the user as well as the front of the user's clothing. It would be desirable to have a hair bib that protects not only the rear of the user's clothing, but also the user's face and the front side of the user's clothing.
- Hair bibs also are difficult to secure to a user's head such that they do not leak, but also are comfortable to wear. Often, they either leak, or when they do not leak, they are uncomfortable because they are too tight. This is caused in part by the use of a single elastic band that entirely circles the wearer's head. In order to ensure that the bib does not leak, elastic band is often sized such that it is too snug. In turn, this leads to discomfort for the wearer. It would be desirable to have a hair bib which does not leak, but could also be comfortably worn.
- While the prior art has produced a variety of hair bibs, it has failed to produce an adjustable hair bib that can be adjusted to secure to a wearer such that there are no leaks, but also to adjust the pressure on the wearer.
- The present invention provides a hair bib with a partial elastic band that works in conjunction adjustable end tabs. The partial elastic band provides pressure around a substantial portion of the wearer's head to prevent leaks, while he and hands are used to adjust pressure applied by the elastic band and to adjustably shape the front panel. In addition, a semi-rigid deformable front panel is used that holds its shape during use. The front flap may be bent to form a channel to guide water away from the face of the user toward the rear flap of the bib. Optional hook and loop strips allow the front panel to be split for easy attachment and detachment from a user. Alternate embodiments provide reinforcing struts to hold the shape of the front panel.

- Having discussed the features and advantages of the invention in general, we turn now to a more detailed discussion of the figures.
- In
FIG. 1 , a priorart hair bib 1 is illustrated. Thehair bib 1 has anelastic band 2 that secures thehair bib 1 to the user's head. Theelastic band 2 provides a firm seal that prevents leakage during use. Thehair bib 1 has arear panel 3 that drapes over the user's shoulders. Water flowing over therear panel 3 drains into the hair dresser's sink (not shown) without getting the user wet. - The disadvantage to
prior art bib 1 is that it is typically fabricated from thin, flexible material. As a result, thefront panel 4 droops downward as shown. This results inhair treatments liquids 5 dripping off offront panel 4 onto the user's face and clothing. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a front view ofprior art bib 1. As can be seen from this view,front panel 4 droops downward on the forehead of the user. Because of this drooping,hair treatment liquids 5 are able to drip off of thefront panel 4 onto the user's face and clothing. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a preferred embodiment of ahair bib 6 in which a semi-rigiddeformable front panel 7 is bent to form a hair treatmentliquid channel 8. Thechannel 8 divertshair treatment liquids 8 away from the user's face and towardrear panel 3 where it is drained into the hair dresser's sink. - In the preferred embodiment the
hair bib 6 is approximately 25 inches long and 20 inches wide. Further, the preferred embodiment envisions thehair bib 6 being fabricated from 30 gauge plastic. Those skilled in the art will recognize that changes in size can be made without departing from the invention. Likewise, the thickness of thehair bib 6 can vary, as well as the material used to fabricate it, so long as it is still able to perform its intended function. For example, the panel can be made from a variety of materials, such as plastic, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. - In addition to the foregoing, the
hair bib 6 uses anelastic band 2 to secure itself to the user's neck. In the preferred embodiment, theelastic band 2 is 0.25 inch wide polyester. As was the case above, the size, width, and material used to fabricate thehair bib 6 can vary so long as the intended function of the device is nor impaired. -
FIG. 4 shows a front view ofhair bib 6. As can be seen from this view, thefront panel 7 is raised to form a channel that prevents hair treatment fluids from dripping onto the face or clothing of the user. - Also shown in this figure is a
seam 9. This figure also illustrates an option configuration in which the front panel is split into two segments 10-11 which are joined atseam 9. The advantage of using opposing front panel segments 10-11 is that it allows thehair bib 6 to be more conveniently and comfortably secured to a user's head. Preferably, the front panel segments 10-11 are secured together with hook and loop material. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that any suitable method of securing the front panels 10-11 together can be used. -
FIG. 5 is a side cutaway view of the optional split front panel configuration shown inFIG. 4 . This figure illustrates the two segments 10-11 overlaying one another. They are secured atlayer 12. In the preferred embodiment, hook and loop material is used. However, as noted above, any suitable material can be used. - In
FIG. 6 , an alternative preferred embodiment is shown. In this embodiment,rigid braces 13 are used to form thefront panel 7 into a channel. The rigid braces 13 are secured to thefront panel 7 via hook and loop material, but can also be secured via alternative methods, such as snaps, adhesives, etc. -
FIG. 7A is a top plan view of an alternative preferred embodiment of thehair bib 6 which uses a partialelastic band 15 to prevent leaks and to relieve pressure on the wearer's head. This view is shown in the open configuration. In this configuration, overlappingend tabs loop segments 16 that are secured to overlappingend tabs - A disadvantage of prior art hair bibs is that they use a continuous strip of elastic to secure the hair bib to the wearer's head. One problem associated with this is that depending on the size of the wearer's head, the elastic may be too loose or too tight. If it is too loose, the bib will leak. Likewise, if it is too tight, it will be uncomfortable. The partial
elastic band 15 overcomes this problem. The partial elastic band in the invention works in conjunction with overlappingend tabs hair bib 6 such that it is snugly secured, but not so tight as to cause irritation or discomfort. - When the
hair bib 6 is secured to the wearer's head, the hook andloop material 16 on the overlappingend tabs loop segments 16 in relation to one another. - Another advantage of this embodiment is that the hook and
loop segments 16 can be adjusted independently to allow the shape of thechannel 8 to be adjusted. -
FIG. 7B is a top plan view of the alternative preferred embodiment ofFIG. 7A , but is shown in the closed configuration. This figure illustrates theend tabs loop segments 16. -
FIG. 8 illustrates the alternative preferred embodiment of FIGS. 7A-B, with the hair bib secured to the wearer's forehead. As can be seen in this figure, the partialelastic band 15 secures thehair bib 6 to the user, but the tension is controlled by the position of theend tabs - The invention provides a
hair bib 6 with aliquid channel 8 that prevents hair treatment liquids from dripping on the face and clothing of the user. As discussed above, it is important to form thechannel 8 such that it retains its intended shape. This can be done with a panel fabricated from material that is sufficiently rigid to maintain its shape, or by more flexible material that is supported bybrackets 13. The semi-rigid material provides an improvement over the prior art that protects the user and the user's clothing. Further, the partialelastic band 15 has its tension adjusted by adjusting the position of theend tabs - While the invention has been described with respect to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit, scope, and teaching of the invention. For example, the material used to construct the
hair bib 6 may be anything suitable for its purpose, the size and shape of thehair bib 6 and thefront panel 7 can vary. The type and number ofbraces 13 can vary. The material used can vary, etc. Accordingly, the invention herein disclosed is to be limited only as specified in the following claims.
