Abstract

A head-hair cover comprises a body defining a chamber and an opening in the body. The opening has a peripheral edge and permits communication between the chamber and outside of the cover. An adjustment mechanism is provided at or near the peripheral edge for selectively varying the dimensions of the opening. Additionally, a constricting band is provided and associated with the peripheral edge for gently crimping at least a portion of the peripheral edge.

1 . A head-hair cover comprising: 
 a body defining a chamber;    an opening in the body, the opening having a peripheral edge and permitting communication between the chamber and outside of the cover;    adjustment means at or near the peripheral edge for selectively varying the dimensions of the opening; and    constricting means associated with the peripheral edge for gently crimping at least a portion of the peripheral edge.    
     
     
         2 . A cover as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the body is formed of two lateral panels stitched together along their respective peripheral edges, the opening being defined by corresponding portions of the peripheral edges of the two lateral panels which remain unattached.

         5 . A cover as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the adjustment means comprises a channel formed by a hem along at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the opening, and a cord extending from inside the channel to the outside thereof, the arrangement of the cord relative to the channel being adjustable to vary the dimensions of the opening.  
     
     
         6 . A cover as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the constricting means comprises a length of elastic band along at least a portion of the peripheral edge for crimping the peripheral edge over the portion thereof at which it is located.
