Easy-donning cap which is used to protect and dry the hair

Abstract

The invention relates to a long cap ( 1 ) which is designed to protect the hair. The inventive cap comprises two essentially-parallelepiped side walls which are fixed to one another along one of the long sides ( 2 ) and shorts sides ( 3 ) thereof, such as to define: a first pouch ( 4 ) which is disposed at the proximal end of the cap, said first pouch forming a cap; and a second pouch ( 5 ) which is disposed at the distal end of the cap, said second pouch forming a receptacle for the floating mass of hair ( 6 ). The invention is characterised in that the two ends thereof are provided with complementary fixing means ( 9 ) which can be brought into contact with one another in order to close the cap around the head after the hair has been placed therein. For said purpose, the distal end is rotated by 180° around the longitudinal axis of the cap and subsequently folded back over the proximal end such as to cover same.

1 . A long cap for protecting the hair, of elongate form, formed from two lateral walls of parallelepipedal shape fixed to one another along one of their long sides and one of their two small sides so as to delimit a first pocket arranged at the proximal end of the long cap, forming a cap, and a second pocket arranged at the distal end of the long cap and forming a receptacle for the floating mass of hair, and whose two ends are provided with complementary fastening means that can be placed in contact in order to close the long cap around the head after the hair has been placed in the cap, turning the distal end through 180° about the longitudinal axis of the long cap and then folding this distal end down in order to cover the proximal end.  
   
   
       2 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the fastening means comprise a system of press-studs.  
   
   
       3 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the fastening means comprise a loop-and-button system.  
   
   
       4 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the fastening means comprise a system of attachments by means of loop-and-hook fabrics such as those known under the Velcro® trademark.  
   
   
       5 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a general trapezoidal shape including two large sides of general orientation converging one toward the other, thus defining a variable depth for the long cap, the proximal pocket being located on the side of greatest depth.  
   
   
       6 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the two lateral walls are fixed to one another by means of sewing.  
   
   
       7 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the walls comprise non-woven textile, for a single use.  
   
   
       8 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein at least one portion of the non-sewn edges of the lateral sides, located close to at least one of the ends of the long cap, is gathered.  
   
   
       9 . The long cap as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the gathers are elasticated.
