Hair dryer heat shielding device

Abstract

A hair dryer heat shielding device 10 is provided. The device 10 includes a first planar member 14 having first and second diagonally descending members 22 and 24 coupled thereto. A second planar member 34 and third and fourth diagonally descending members 42 and 44 reinforces lower portions of the first planar member 14 and first and second diagonally extending members 22 and 24 . A third planar member 52 is coupled to uppermost portions of the first planar member 14 to provide a protective shield for the planar member. A coupling member 56 is provided to couple the device 10 in a predetermined position around a user's 68 head 70 so that the user's face 72 is shielded from heat generated by a dryer.

1 . A hair dryer heat shielding device for protecting a user's face from heat generated by a hair dryer including:
 a first rectangularly shaped planar member having a first front member and first and second side members;   a first diagonally descending member coupled to extend from an intermediate portion of the first side member to an intermediate front portion of the first front member of the first planar member; a second diagonally descending member coupled to extend from an intermediate portion of the second side member to the intermediate front portion of the first front member of the first planar member;   a second rectangularly shaped planar member having a second front member and third and fourth side members coupled to lower inside portions of the first planar member;   a third diagonally descending member coupled adjacent to inside portions of the first diagonally descending member;
 a fourth diagonally descending member coupled adjacent to inside portions of the second diagonally descending member; 
 a third rectangularly shaped planar member aligned to extend along inside portions of the first planar member into couplingly engagement with uppermost portions thereof; and 
 a coupling means for coupling one end of the first planar member to the other end thereof so that the shielding device is couplable around the user's head to shield the face of the user from the heat generated by the hair dryer. 
   
     
     
         2 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 1  wherein the third diagonally descending member includes portions which are aligned with and coupled adjacent to the first diagonally descending member to extend from intermediate inside portions of the third inside member to intermediate inside portions of the second front member of the second planar member. 
     
     
         3 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 2  wherein the fourth diagonally descending member includes portions which are aligned with and coupled adjacent to the second diagonally descending member to extend from intermediate inside portions of the fourth side member to the intermediate inside portions of the second front member of the second planar member. 
     
     
         4 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 3  wherein the coupling means includes:
 a first coupling member coupled to one end of the first planar member; and 
 a second coupling member coupled to the other end of the first planar member so that the first planar member can be coupled at each end thereby allowing the shielding device to be couplable around the head of the user. 
 
     
     
         5 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 4  wherein the first and second coupling members are Velcro. 
     
     
         6 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 5  wherein the second planar member supports and reinforces predetermined lower portions of the first planar member. 
     
     
         7 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 6  wherein the third diagonally descending member supports and reinforces the first diagonally descending member and the fourth diagonally descending member supports and reinforces the second diagonally descending member. 
     
     
         8 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 7  wherein the second planar member has a predetermined width smaller than that of the first planar member. 
     
     
         9 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 8  wherein the third diagonally descending member has a predetermined width smaller than that of the first diagonally descending member and the fourth diagonally descending member has a predetermined width smaller than that of the second diagonally descending member. 
     
     
         10 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 9  wherein the third planar member provides a protective shield for the first planar member. 
     
     
         11 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 10  wherein the third planar member has a predetermined width smaller than that of the first planar member. 
     
     
         12 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 11  wherein the first, second and third planar members are made of cotton. 
     
     
         13 . A hair dryer heat shielding device as defined in  claim 12  wherein the first, second, third and fourth diagonally descending members are made of cotton.
