Hair cap with integral absorbent material

Abstract

A hair cap with integral absorbent material for placement on a wearer's head, over their hair comprises a cap portion that defines a head covering, pliable receptacle area of the hair cap with integral absorbent material and a rim portion that defines the circumferential edge of the hair cap with integral absorbent material. The cap portion is constructed entirely of terry cloth and the rim portion is constructed of an elastic material defined as rubber. The elastic nature of the rim portion enables it to be stretch outward with manually force to allow the head and hair of a user to be placed into the cap portion and then automatically contract back to its normal size wherein it would frictionally contact the head of the wearer to hold the hair cap with integral absorbent material in place on the wearer, much in the same way of conventional shower caps.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair cap with integral absorbent material for placement on a wearer's head, comprising:
 a cap portion defining a head covering, pliable receptacle area; and   a rim portion defining a circumferential edge, wherein said cap portion is constructed of an absorbent material.   
     
     
         2 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 1 , wherein said cap portion and said rim portion are constructed of a unitary body. 
     
     
         3 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 2 , wherein the absorbent material defines terry cloth. 
     
     
         4 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 2 , wherein said cap portion and rim portion employ accordion style folds around their circumference. 
     
     
         5 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 2 , wherein said rim portion is structured such that the circumferential edge of the unitary body is folded over an elastic band, securing the elastic band therein. 
     
     
         6 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 5 , wherein said elastic band is constructed of rubber. 
     
     
         7 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 1 , wherein the absorbent material defines terry cloth. 
     
     
         8 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 1 , wherein said cap portion and rim portion employ accordion style folds around their circumference. 
     
     
         9 . The hair cap with integral absorbent material of  claim 1 , wherein said cap portion and rim portion employ accordion style folds around their circumference.
