CAP FOR MOISTURISING AND TREATING HAIR ENDS

Abstract

Cap for moisturising and treating hair ends, comprising an inner element which is surrounded by another outer element, both elements being joined by separation section provided with an inner channel through which runs a tape, rubber or string whose ends emerge from said inner channel through openings so that by pulling on both ends of the string the inner element, and therefore the hairs housed therein, is closed and tightened. The material of manufacture, especially of the inner element, shall be made of a material resistant to high temperatures, which is the material that will contain the hair to be treated.

Claims

1. A cap for moisturising and treating hair ends, comprising an inner element which is surrounded by an annular fastening area provided with an inner channel through which runs a tape, rubber or string whose ends emerge from said inner channel through openings so that by pulling on both ends of the string the inner element is closed and tightened.

2. The cap for moisturising and treating hair ends according to claim 1, characterised in that following the annular fastening area there is a surrounding outer element.

3. The cap for moisturising and treating hair ends according to claim 1, wherein the inner element adopts a circular shape.

4. The cap for moisturising and treating hair ends according to claim 2, wherein the outer element adopts a circular crown shape.

5. The cap for moisturising and treating hair ends according to claim 2, wherein the outer element adopts a polygonal shape.

6. The cap for moisturising and treating hair ends according to claim 2, characterised in that the outer element adopts a hexagonal shape.

7. The cap for moisturising and treating hair ends according to claim 2, wherein the diameter of the inner element is “X”, while the distance from the separation section to the edge of the outer section is “1/4X”.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0013] As a complement to the present description, and for the purpose of helping to make the features of the invention more readily understandable, in accordance with a preferred practical exemplary embodiment thereof, said description is accompanied by a set of drawings constituting an integral part of the same, which by way of illustration and not limitation represent the following.

[0014] FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the cap object of the invention.

[0015] FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the cap.

[0016] FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the cap.

[0017] FIG. 4 shows how the cap would be arranged on a person's hair in order to moisturise and/or treat the hair ends.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0018] With reference to the figures, a preferred embodiment of the invention proposed is described below.

[0019] FIG. 1 shows that the cap object of the invention, in the embodiment shown, comprises an inner element (1) around which an outer element (2) is arranged, both of which are joined by an annular fastening area (3) provided with an inner channel (5) through the inside of which runs a fastening string (4), both ends of which protrude to the outside through openings (6).

[0020] The outer element (2) is optional and complementary, and the invention can be implemented with only the inner element (1) and the annular fastening area (3).

[0021] The geometry of the inner element (1) is preferably, but not limited to being, circular, while the geometry of the outer element (2) can be polygonal, among which it could adopt a hexagonal shape, as shown in FIG. 3. Also, in another possible embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the outer element and the inner element (1) are arranged concentrically and have a recess in the form of a circular sector.

[0022] FIG. 3 shows how the cap is arranged on a person's hair, showing how the hair is gathered in the inner space defined by the inner element (1) when pulling the ends of the fastening string (4) and tying a closing knot, the outer element (2) defining a wavy profile in order to adapt to the reduction in perimeter experienced by the annular fastening area (3).

[0023] Preferably, but not limited to, if the diameter of the inner element (1) is “X”, as shown in FIG. 1, the added crown section is “1/4X”, i.e., the diameter of the assembly is “3/2X”. In the case of FIG. 3, the diameter of the circumference around the hexagon of the outer element (2) would be “3/2X”, i.e., the radial distance from the edge of the inner element (1) to the vertex of the hexagon of the outer element (2) would be “1/4X”.

[0024] FIG. 4 shows how the hair is gathered in the inner space of the element (1) as a result of pulling the ends of the tape (4) allowing the hair therein to be moisturised and/or subjected to a treatment of the ends.

[0025] Having thus adequately described the nature of the present invention, as well as how to put it into practice, it must be noted that, within its essential nature, the invention may be carried out according to other embodiments differing in detail from that set out by way of example, which the protection sought would equally cover, provided that the fundamental principle thereof is not altered, changed or modified.
