Skull cap

Abstract

A skull cap includes one or more layers of material. The outermost surfaces of the skull cap includes a concave surface and a convex surface. The skull cap is delimited by a peripheral edge at which the concave and convex surfaces meet. The layer of the one or more layers which includes the concave surface is at least partially made of velvet.

Claims

1. A skull cap consisting of: a first layer of material made of velvet comprising a peripheral edge; a second layer of material made of velvet and comprising a peripheral edge; the skull cap having an outer convex surface and an inner concave surface; the first and second layers of material being joined at the respective peripheral edges thereof such that the first layer of velvet material comprises the concave surface of the skull cap and the second layer of velvet material comprises the convex surface of the skull cap; the skull cap being delimited by a peripheral edge at which the concave surface and the convex surface meet; wherein the skull cap is devoid of any rigid element; and wherein the peripheral edge is circular.

2. The skull cap according to claim 1, wherein both the concave surface and the convex surface are identical.

3. The skull cap according to claim 1, wherein only the convex surface comprises aesthetic lines extending from the peripheral edge to a center of the skull cap.

4. The skull cap according to claim 1, wherein both the convex surface and the concave surface comprise aesthetic lines extending from the peripheral edge to a center of the skull cap.

5. The skull cap according to claim 4, wherein both the convex surface and the concave surface comprise the same number of aesthetic lines.

6. The skull cap according to claim 1, wherein the concave surface and/or convex surface is devoid of gaps of greater than 1 mm cross sectional area.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) For a better understanding of the subject matter of the present application, and to show how the same may be carried out in practice, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:

(2) FIG. 1 is a skull cap in accordance with the subject matter of the present application; and

(3) FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the skull cap in FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(4) Reference is made to FIGS. 1 and 2 which illustrate an example skull cap 10.

(5) The skull cap 10 can comprise an inner layer 12 and an outer layer 14.

(6) Before being joined, the inner layer 12 is understood to comprise an inner concave surface 12A, an outer convex surface 12B, and a peripheral edge 12C at which the inner layer's concave surface 12A and convex surface 12B meet. The peripheral edge 12C can be circular.

(7) Similarly, before being joined, the outer layer 14 is understood to comprise an inner concave surface 14A, an outer convex surface 14B, and a peripheral edge 14C at which the outer layer's concave surface 14A and convex surface 14B meet. The peripheral edge 14C can be circular.

(8) As this example shows a skull cap 10 having more than one layer, it will be understood that the two layers are also joined at the peripheral edges 12C, 14C of the inner and outer layers 12, 14 and can consequently appear as illustrated in FIG. 1.

(9) Notably, the inner layer's concave surface 12A and the outer layer's convex surface 14B constitute outermost surfaces of the skull cap 10 when assembled (FIG. 1).

(10) The outermost concave surface 12A is made at least partially of velvet or a material having similar properties, particularly a material with short fibers. In the present non-limiting example the inner layer 12 is made entirely of velvet.

(11) A wearer (not shown) can wear the skull cap 10, and the velvet associated with the inner layer 12, or more specifically with the inner concave surface 12A thereof, which contacts the wearer's head, can provide a desired anti-slip or fastening effect when contacting hair of the wearer.

(12) In the present non-limiting example, the outer layer 14 can preferably also be made entirely of velvet.

(13) While the embodiment shown has two layers, alternatively, a skull cap itself could be comprised only of a single layer similarly comprising an concave surface at least partially, and preferably entirely, made of velvet.

(14) In the two-layer embodiment shown, there are aesthetic lines 14D, which are typically stich lines, formed on the outer convex surface 14B. The aesthetic lines 14D can extend from the peripheral edge 12C, 14C to a center of the skull cap. It will be understood that in a single layer embodiment the aesthetic lines 14D can be on the single layer.

(15) The description above includes an exemplary embodiment and details, and does not exclude non-exemplified embodiments and details from the claim scope of the present application.
