Anetras Kool Head Dryer Cover

Abstract

The Salon Hair Dryer Hood Cover was invented by taking a bath towel and Tootie Fruitie. Take the materials placing them together and cutting them 3 feet 8 inches long and 2 feet wide, cut the corners off pin them together, fold down 1 inch, stitching together. Slide the elastic through the corners creating the hood. Attach four straps to the hood, which are used to tighten the hood around the salon hair dryer. This will keep the heat in, thus eliminating long drying times, which in turn cuts your electric bill in half.

2. A method of making a cover for a dome hair dryer, comprising: Providing an inner cover with a rectangular dimension suitable for covering the dome of the hair dryer. Cut four corners off of the inner cover. Provide an outer cover with dimensions similar to the inner cover before the corners have been cut off. Attach the inner cover to the outer cover with two parallel stitches on the outer edges of the covers wherein the stitches form a pocket on each side while leaving the corners free. Thread a hanger hook through each pocket. Attached an elastic material having a length smaller than the length of the pocket to the hanger hook and pull the elastic material through the pocket with the hanger hook. Sew the end of the elastic material not connect to hanger hook to the first end of the pocket. Stretch the elastic material so the other end of the elastic material is outside the second end of the pocket and sew to the second end of the pocket and repeat for all four sides. Thread a piece of yarn through a sleeve to form a strap and repeat to form four straps, and attach one end of each strap to each of the four corners of the outer cover.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] FIG. 1 Shows the inner cover 1 for the dryer cover. It is a sheet of material 2 ft. wide by 3 ft. 8 inches. Preferably, it is a towel. The dimensions may be adjusted to create a larger or smaller cover and the invention is not limited to a particular dimension. In the next step, FIG. 2, the four corners 2 of the inner cover are cut off. The inner cover is attached to an outer cover 3 with about the same dimensions of the inner cover before the corners are cut off. Shown in FIG. 3. Preferably, the outer cover has a decorative design, but this is not necessary.

[0017] FIG. 4 Shows the attachment of the inner cover to the outer cover by stitches 4.1. The stitches are about 1 inch from the edges of the covers. It is important that the stitches do not extend into the corners. A second stitch is made at the edge of the covers such that the first and second stitches creates a pocket 6.1 for threading the elastic material.

[0018] Now you will attach the elastic material 5.1. The elastic material 5.1 is about an inch wide and has a length shorter than the length of one side of the cover. You need one piece of elastic material for each side. A hook hanger 5.2 is needed to thread the elastic material through the pockets 6.1. First thread the hook hanger through one side of the cover so it goes in one pocket and comes out another pocket. Attach the hook hanger to the edge 6.3 of the elastic material. Pull the hook hanger in the opposite direction of the arrows in FIG. 6 to pull the elastic material through the pocket. Sew one end of the elastic material to the cover at the first pocket opening, stretch the elastic material using the hook anger and sew the other end to the pocket opening on the other end of the cover. Repeat for each side of the cover. Because the elastic material is stretched when it is sewn to the cover it will retract into its original shape. The retracting elastic material causes the cover to assume a spherical shape as shown in FIG. 7. The outer cover surface is shown as 7.1 and the inner cover surface is 7.2.

[0019] Now we will create the straps. Start with a length of fabric of the desired length and form a tube 8.1. This can be done by folding the material and sewing the loose sides together. A piece of rope yarn 8.2 is threaded through the inside of the tube 8.3 by the hook hanger. Make the fabric of the straps longer than the yarn. When the yarn is entirely inside the fabric is will be a crinkly strap 8.4 because the fabric is longer than the yarn. Make 4 straps the same way. Sew one side of each crinkly strap to the cover near each of the pocket openings 9.1. This is shown in FIG. 10. The completed dryer cover is shown in FIG. 11.
