Aug. 29, 1961 M. L. STRAUS 11 HAIR DRYING DEVICE Filed Jan. 17. 1958 awkwv IN VEN TOR.
MflPT/N L 67219082 \M M1 1611 A T TOE/V575 fed sat s 2,997,792 HAIR DRYING DEVICE Martin L. Straus II, Blue Hill Road, Great Barrington, Mass; Francis C. Reed, executor of said Martin L. Straus II, deceased Filed Jan. 17, 1958, Ser. No. 709,562 2 Claims. (Cl. 34-95) This invention relates to a disposable hair dying device. More particularly, this invention relates to a moisture absorbing hair drying device which can be readily placed over the hair of a persons head after it has been washed and is adapted upon completed usage to be readily disposed.
Heretofore when persons washed their hair and scalp or had their hair or scalp washed, for instance in beauty parlors, the ordinary procedure is to first wet the hair, then lather it with shampoo to such an extent that there is a considerable amount of foam in the hair due to the shampooing, then rinsing out the shampoo with water, then further washing the hair with warm water and finally drying such hair. The hair oftentimes is not completely dried but quite damp, because when towels are used, not all of the moisture is completely removed from the hair. In order to complete the drying of the hair there are frequently used various types of hair drying equipment containing lamps such as infra red ray lamps, which of course produce a considerable amount of heat on both the scalp and the hair. Under such conditions, one must be rather careful for fear that there may be a considerable amount of burning because of the intense heat from such lamps. Furthermore, intensive drying by heat causes the scalp to become dry and itchy.
In order to avoid such disadvantages it is an object of my invention to provide a disposable hair drying device for safely removing moisture from the hair and scalp.
Another object of my invention is to provide a highly effective moisture absorbing disposable hair drying device which can come into contact with the scalp and also the various hairs on the scalp to remove such moisture.
One other object of my invention is to provide a hair drying device made of highly absorbable material which contacts the scalp, and at the same time not only dries the scalp but also dries the hair on the scalp.
A more specific object of my invention is to provide a hair drying device which contains a plurality of indentations or depressions which contact the hair and the scalp and which readily absorb moisture from the contacting hair and the scalp.
Other objects and features of this invention will become apparent from the following described application taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a detail, fragmental bottom plan view of a preferred embodiment of my invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of FIG. 1 showing the indentations of the embodiment; and
FIG. 3 is a fragmental, perspective view, partly broken away, showing the embodiment as used on a persons head wherein the indentations contact the scalp and hair of the wearer of the embodiment.
Referring now particularly to the drawings wherein like numbers refer to like parts throughout, it will be noted that I provide a device of suitable size and thickness and adapted to fit over a persons head. Said device 10 comprises a highly absorbable blanket material such as from loosely formed fibers or paper and the like which is 'same time drying the scalp.
extremely porous while at the same time having a high degree of capillarity so as to absorb or draw moisture from the hair of the person whose head has been washed. Said device 10 is readily pliable or flexible without cracking and of suflicient thickness to retain relatively large amounts of moisture absorbed from the moist hair and scalp of a person whose head has been Washed.
It will be noted that said device 10 contains a plurality of indentations 11 such as conical formations, so that when applied to a persons head 12, the apical or pointed portions 13 of said formations contact the scalp while at the same time the truncated or inclined portions 14 contact the hair which is moist thus drying it while at the In arranging said indentations forming conical portions or protuberances they may be set in the face of the device 10 in alignment with each other, or they may be disposed at random and various angles so as to have different geometrical patterns which are suitable for use and for drying the hair and scalp. Device 10 as shown may be of any suitable size and made and adapted for placing on the head of a person whose hair has been washed.
Said device 10 has at least a pair of attaching members 15 extending from the edges 16 of the device to be used for tying together and to keep the device 10 in close and firm contact with the scalp and the hair of the head. By thus tying the device close against the hair the drying action of said device can be effected within a relatively short time. It is to be noted that said device furthermore, can be made in different sizes and shapes to obtain any type of pattern suitable for all parts of the head being dried, and also for the particular shape of the head, of the person whose hair is to be dried.
From the foregoing, it will be noted that a hair drying device can be readily used at any time, and that it can be made of any suitable material. In the present instance, it has been found that a highly porous and highly absorbable material such as cellulose and the like can be effectively used for the purposes of the present invention. The device as used herein is relatively cheap and can be readily disposable. In fact, the economy or cheapness and ready utility of the device makes it more advantageous to use than the continued use of electric power and other types of drying means as presently used. Such electrical drying means call for the investment of considerable sums of money. The device described herein is extremely safe and does not effect the individuals scalp or hair.
While a preferred form of the invention has been described and illustrated herein, it is to be noted that various modifications as to form and use of materials and arrangement of parts can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed herein.
I claim:
