Abstract

A hair wrap article, as disclosed, is a regular or irregular geometric-shaped swath of cloth comprising a cloth area and a cloth edge perimeter; and a securing tab affixed, generally stitched, upon the swath of cloth to receive and secure a portion of the swath of cloth. The securing tab affixes upon the cloth at least a discrete distance, described further herein, from the cloth edge perimeter. The securing tab generally comprises a planar configuration, and may embody any regular or irregular geometric shape. A secondary tab may be further employed and stitched proximate to the securing tab. Representative embodiments may employ slits in the cloth, rather than affixed tabs, to receive and secure a portion of the swath of cloth; and such slits are similarly positioned at least a discrete distance from the cloth edge. Various embodiments may employ a combination of securing tabs, secondary tabs, and slits.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair wrap towel article comprises:
 a swath of cloth comprising a cloth area and a cloth edge perimeter; and   a securing tab affixed upon the swath of cloth to receive and secure a portion of the swath of cloth;
 wherein the securing tab is affixed at a tab position at least a tab distance from the cloth edge perimeter, 
 wherein the tab distance comprises an amount no less than a securing tab edge distance, and 
 wherein the securing tab edge distance comprises a greatest tab length as measured along any of a tab edge of the securing tab. 
   
     
     
         2 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the cloth area corresponds to a geometric shape selected from at least one of; a triangle, a quadrilateral, a trapezoid, an n-sided regular polygon, an n-sided irregular polygon, a circle, and an oval. 
     
     
         3 . The article of  claim 2 , wherein the securing tab comprises a geometric shape selected from at least one of; a triangle, a quadrilateral, a trapezoid, an n-sided regular polygon, and an n-sided irregular polygon. 
     
     
         4 . The article of  claim 3 , wherein the securing tab comprises a secondary securing tab affixed proximate the securing tab to receive and secure the portion of the swath of cloth. 
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 4 , wherein at least one of the securing tab and the secondary securing tab is a planar element. 
     
     
         6 . The article of  claim 2 , further comprising a semi-rigid ribbing stitched into the cloth edge perimeter. 
     
     
         7 . The article of  claim 4 , wherein the secondary securing tab comprises a geometric shape selected from at least one of; a triangle, a quadrilateral, a trapezoid, an n-sided regular polygon, and an n-sided irregular polygon. 
     
     
         8 . The article of  claim 3 , wherein the securing tab further comprises a slit to receive and secure the portion of the swath of cloth. 
     
     
         9 . The article of  claim 4 , wherein the secondary securing tab further comprises a slit to receive and secure the portion of the swath of cloth. 
     
     
         10 . A hair wrap towel article comprises:
 a swath of cloth comprising a cloth area and a cloth edge perimeter; and   at least one slit piercing the swath of cloth to receive and secure a portion of the swath of cloth;
 wherein the slit pierces the swath of cloth at a slit position at least a slit distance from the cloth edge perimeter, 
 wherein the slit distance comprises an amount no less than a slit length, and 
 wherein the slit length comprises the greatest length as measured along any of the at least one slits. 
   
     
     
         11 . The article of  claim 10 , wherein the cloth area corresponds to a geometric shape selected from at least one of; a triangle, a quadrilateral, a trapezoid, an n-sided regular polygon, an n-sided irregular polygon, a circle, and an oval. 
     
     
         12 . The article of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one slit is at least one of a vertical and a horizontal slit. 
     
     
         13 . The article of  claim 12 , further comprising a semi-rigid ribbing stitched into the cloth edge perimeter. 
     
     
         14 . A method for manufacturing a hair wrap towel article comprises:
 cutting a swath of cloth comprising a cloth area and a cloth edge perimeter; and   stitching a securing tab upon the swath of cloth to receive and secure a portion of the swath of cloth;
 wherein the securing tab is stitched to the swath of cloth at a tab position at least a tab distance from the cloth edge perimeter, 
 wherein the tab distance comprises an amount no less than a securing tab edge distance, and 
 wherein the securing tab edge distance comprises a greatest tab length as measured along any of a tab edge of the securing tab. 
   
     
     
         15 . The article of  claim 14 , wherein the cloth area corresponds to a geometric shape selected from at least one of; a triangle, a quadrilateral, a trapezoid, an n-sided regular polygon, an n-sided irregular polygon, a circle, and an oval. 
     
     
         16 . The article of  claim 15 , wherein the securing tab comprises a geometric shape selected from at least one of; a triangle, a quadrilateral, a trapezoid, an n-sided regular polygon, and an n-sided irregular polygon. 
     
     
         17 . The article of  claim 16 , wherein the securing tab comprises a secondary securing tab stitched proximate to the securing tab to receive and secure the portion of the swath of cloth. 
     
     
         18 . The article of  claim 17 , wherein at least one of the securing tab and the secondary securing tab is a planar element.
