Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair cap for drying wet hair such as by washing hair.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When drying wet hair such as by washing the hair, especially for women with long hair, wrap the hair around a head with a bath towel and press the hair from above the bath towel to remove the hair. It's dry.

As a means for drying hair, a hair cap as shown in FIG. 8 has conventionally been provided.

The hair cap 30 is formed by forming a water absorbent cloth piece such as a bath towel into a vertically long tubular shape, and gradually tapering one side 31 into a bag shape. Also,
The other side is open and covers the head 32
It has become. An elastic body such as rubber is inserted along the periphery of the adhered portion 32 so that the adhered portion 32 does not come into close contact with the head and fall when the head is covered. .

When the wet hair is dried using the hair cap 30 having such a shape, the user first turns his / her head slightly downward, and then collects the wet hair.
The hair cap 30 is sequentially inserted into the adhered portion 32 from the tip side of the hair. At this time, the hair is in the hair cap 30.
Care must be taken not to cling to the inner surface of the.

After the hair is completely inserted into the hair cap 30, the attachment 32 is completely covered up to the head, and the attachment of the hair cap 30 is completed.

After that, if the hair cap 30 is pressed with both hands, the moisture content of the hair is reduced.
It is absorbed by and the hair dries quickly.

[0008]

However, when the bath towel is wound on the head and dried, it is often the case that the bath towel does not wrap well around the head and is rewound many times.
Moreover, since the bath towel is too large to be wrapped around the head, the rolled towel is bulky and unpleasant.

The conventional hair cap 30 described above is also used.
It was difficult to wear because it had a perfect tubular shape. That is, since it is necessary to sequentially insert hair from the adherend 32 side, there is a risk that the hair clings to the inner surface of the hair cap 30 during insertion. This is because if the hair clings in the hair cap 30 and becomes a dumpling, the hair is not dried well, and if the hair is dried in a dumpling, it is difficult to care for the hair thereafter.

Further, since the conventional hair cap 30 has a completely cylindrical shape, the air circulation in the hair cap 30 is poor, and the air that has absorbed the moisture of the hair does not circulate well with the outside air, so that the hair is not dried. There was also the problem of being late.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to easily attach to the head and to improve the circulation of air to further enhance the drying effect. To provide.

[0012]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the hair cap according to claim 1 of the present invention has a water-absorbent cloth piece formed in a tubular shape so that both sides of the cloth piece are attached to each other.

That is, only the tip side, which is the part to be attached to the head, is integrally fastened, and both sides on the back side are open, so that it is easy to attach to the head and the hair is attached. The air circulation between the inside and outside of the cap is also good.

Further, in the hair cap according to claim 2 of the present invention, the portions near the rear end portions on both sides are folded so that two points separated by a predetermined dimension are aligned, and the hair cap is stopped at the folded base portion. By being worn, the cloth piece portion between the two points is formed into a knob portion folded in a triangular shape. With this, when the hair cap is attached to the head, it is possible to work while holding the picking portion, so that workability is improved.

The hair cap according to a third aspect of the present invention is such that locking pieces which can be engaged with and disengaged from each other are attached near the rear end portions of both sides. With this, the hair cap can be formed into a tubular shape by locking the locking piece after the hair cap is attached to the head, so that the attachment to the head becomes easier. Further, by changing the locking condition of the locking pieces (that is, tightening or loosening), the shape of the hair cap can be changed to the optimum shape according to the amount of hair.

In the hair cap according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the locking pieces are formed of a cord body which is tied to each other.

In the hair cap according to claim 5 of the present invention, the tip end side of the hair cap has elasticity. As a result, when wearing, the tip side can be widened to make it easier to wear, and when wearing, it will not come into close contact with the head and fall.

The hair cap according to claim 6 of the present invention is one in which the entire piece of cloth is made stretchable. This makes it easier to wear by spreading the tip side when wearing,
Also, when it is attached, it will come into close contact with the head and not fall off. Further, since the entire cloth piece has elasticity, it can be applied so as to wrap the entire hair.

The hair cap according to claim 7 of the present invention is one in which the fastening piece has elasticity. For example, the fastening piece is formed of an elastic body such as rubber. This allows
Even if the hair cap itself is not stretchable, the tip side of the hair cap can be widened by spreading the fastening piece when it is put on, and when it is put on, it does not come in close contact with the head and fall.
