Figure 2 is a top plan view.
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view.
15 Figure 4 is a detail inner edge elevation as indicated by the'arrow 4 of 'Fig. 2.
Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 are detail sectional views on the correspondinglynumbered lines of Fig. 2. A preferred construction has been illustrated and while this construction will be rather specifically described, it isto be understood that variations may be made within the scope of the invention as claimed. Moreover, any preferred material or materials may be used in constructing 25 the device.
A brim I is provided to encircle the head, said brim being formed from two arcuate sections H and II which are hinged together at one end as indicated at I2. The other end of one of the sec- 30 tions (li is provided with a beaded chain 13 engageable with a notched hook M on the section II, thus permitting the device to be opened, easily placed around the head, drawn snugly around the latter and fastened. The hinged end of the section I I is preferably bifurcated as indicated at IE to receive the adjacent end of the section H and I prefer that a pin and slot connection It be provided between these ends of said sections. The opposite end of the section I I a 40 is preferably bifurcated at IT to receive the adjacent end of the section II.
Each of the sections II and I I is provided with an ear shield I8 having a wall I9 for disposition at the outer side of the ear, front and rear walls 45 20 and 2| for disposition in front of and behind the ear respectively, and a top wall 22 to overlie the ear, said top wall being provided with a flexible inward extension 23 to yieldably abut the head directly over the ear. The inner end of this 00 extension is preferably provided with a hem or bead 24 within which a spring wire 25 is disposed, the ends 26 of this wire extending downwardly from the ends of the bead or hem and being connected at 21 with vertical flanges 28 which project 5 inwardly from the front and rear walls 20 and 2 I,
Figure 1 is an elevation showing the shield in said spring wires serving to yieldably hold the inner edges of the extensions 23 against the head. Each section 1 l and I I is formed from a plate 22 of sheet metaLvulcanizedplastic or any other material of such nature that the sections will retain their -shape, and each of said sections is provided on its upper side with a covering 30 of sheet corkor other insulating material which prevents it from absorbing any great amount of heat from the hot air blasts used in drying the hair. 1 A portion 3| of the insulating covering of course extends around the ear shields I8.
Spring fingers 3'! or other suitable devices are provided upon the upper sides of the sections II and I I to hold paper tissue 38 in place around the padded inner edges of said sections, for sanitary purposes, it being understood that the tissues are to be changed each time the device is used. While only two fingers 31 have been shown, positioned on the front portions of the sections II and H it will be understood that similar fingers could be provided at other locations if desired. 5
From the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that novel and advantageous provision has been made for carrying out the object of the invention, and while preferred features of construction have 40 been illustrated, attention is again invited to the possibility of making variations within the scope of the invention as claimed.
