Chair protector

Abstract

A chair protecting device made of a first sheet that is turned upon itself and attached along vertical edges thereof to form a cavity to accommodate a back of a chair. The sheet has an inner layer that is made of a fluid impervious material and an outer absorbent layer for maintaining spills therebetween and preventing any spilled fluid from reaching the chair.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A protecting device, comprising: 
 a first sheet folded upon itself and attached along at least along an edge thereof;    a cavity defined by opposing unattached edges of said sheet;    whereby a back of a chair is inserted into said cavity and said sheet drapes over the back of the chair.    
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a contractile element extends for a portion of said edge defining said cavity, said contractile element securely fastening said sheet to said chair.  
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said sheet has an inner layer and an outer layer.  
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said inner layer is impervious to fluids.  
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said outer layer consists of an absorbent material.  
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said outer layer consists of an absorbent material.  
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said bottom layer is made of plastic.  
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said top layer is comprised of a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, each of the first, second, and third layers having absorbent characteristics.  
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the first, second, and third layers have fluid retaining qualities that prevents transferring of fluid maintained therein.  
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein a channel is formed for trapping liquids by extending an edge of sheet  14  outwardly and upwardly.  
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein at least a receptacle is maintained on said outer layer.  
     
     
         12 . A protective drape for use on a back of a chair, comprising: 
 a first sheet having a first edge and a second edge opposing each other and being connected by an opposing third edge and a fourth edge;    an outer layer and an inner layer defining said first sheet;    a first panel being attached to said third edge and a second panel being attached to said fourth edge such that an opening is created between said first panel, said second panel, said first edge, and said third edge;    whereby, a back of a chair is received through said opening.    
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein an attaching means removably attaches said second panel to said fourth edge.  
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein a contractile element is maintained within at least said first edge to secure said device to said back of said chair.  
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein said outer layer is made of an absorbent material and said inner layer is made of a fluid impervious material.  
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein at least a receptacle is attached to said outer layer.  
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein a channel is created by extending said first edge outwardly and upwardly.  
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein said outer layer is created from a plurality of layers having fluid locking properties to prevent fluid from escaping therefrom.  
     
     
         19 . In combination, a protecting device for use with a back of a beauty salon chair for preventing spills onto said chair, comprising: 
 a first sheet having a first edge and a second edge opposing each other and being connected by an opposing third edge and a fourth edge;    an outer layer having absorbent characteristics and an inner layer having fluid impermeability characteristics defining said first sheet;    a first panel being attached to said third edge and a second panel being removably attached to said fourth edge by an attaching means, such that an opening is created between said first panel, said second panel, said first edge, and said third edge;    whereby, said back of said chair is received through said opening.    
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 19 , wherein said top layer is comprised of a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, each of the first, second, and third layers having absorbent characteristics and also having a fluid locking nature to prevent transferring of fluid maintained therein.
