DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new hairstyle device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

[0016] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the hairstyle protection assembly 10 generally comprises a bonnet 12 that can be worn over a user's hair 14 when the user is sleeping. The bonnet 12 is comprised of a friction inhibiting material, including but being limited to satin or silk. In this way the bonnet 12 keeps the user's hairstyle intact while the user sleeps. Additionally, as is most clearly shown in FIG. 5, the bonnet 12 can be employed as a pillow case 16. The bonnet 12 has a bottom end 18, a top end 20 and an outer wall 22 extending between the top end 20 and the bottom end 18, and the top end 20 is open to receive the user's head 32. The bonnet 12 may have a length ranging between approximately 26.0 inches and 30.0 inches and a width ranging between approximately 18.0 inches and 22.0 inches. As is most clearly shown in FIG. 3, indicia 23 may be printed on the outer wall 22 and the indicia 23 may comprise a logo, an image, a slogan or any other desired ornamental indicia.

[0017] An elastomeric member 24 is integrated into the bonnet 12 for urging the bonnet 12 into a closed condition to retain the bonnet 12 on the user's head 32. The elastomeric member 24 is integrated into the outer wall 22 of the bonnet 12. Furthermore, the elastomeric member 24 is positioned adjacent to the top end 20 such that the elastomeric member 24 urges the top end 20 to close onto itself. The elastomeric member 24 may be comprised of elastic or other type of resiliently stretchable material.

[0018] A first coupler 26 is coupled to the bonnet 12 and the first coupler 26 is positioned on the outer wall 22 of the bonnet 12. The first coupler 26 is positioned adjacent to the elastomeric member 24. Additionally, the first coupler 26 may comprise a snap, a magnet or any other type of multiple use, releasable coupler. A second coupler 28 is coupled to the bonnet 12 and the second coupler 28 is positioned on the outer wall 22 of the bonnet 12. The second coupler 28 is positioned adjacent to the bottom end 18 of the bonnet 12. Furthermore, the second coupler 28 may comprise a snap, a magnet or any other type of multiple use, releasable coupler.

[0019] A scarf 30 is provided that can be worn around the user's head 32. The scarf 30 is comprised of a friction inhibiting material, including but not being limited to, satin or silk. In this way the scarf 30 is inhibited displacing the user's hair 14 when the scarf 30 is worn around the user's head 32. The scarf 30 has a first end 34, a second end 36 and an outer surface 38 extending between the first end 34 and the second end 36. The outer surface 38 has a top side 40 and a bottom side 42, and the scarf 30 is elongated between the first end 34 and the second end 36. Additionally, the scarf 30 may have a length ranging between approximately 26.0 inches and 30.0 inches.

[0020] A third coupler 44 is provided and the third coupler 44 is integrated into the scarf 30. The third coupler 44 releasably engages the first coupler 26 for attaching the scarf 30 to the bonnet 12. Additionally, the third coupler 44 has an upper side 46 and a lower side 48. The third coupler 44 extends through the outer surface 38 such that the upper side 46 is exposed on the top side 40 of the outer surface 38 of the scarf 30 and the lower side 48 is exposed on the bottom side 42 of the outer surface 38 of the scarf 30. The lower side 48 releasably engages the first coupler 26 and the third coupler 44 is positioned adjacent to the first end 34 of the scarf 30. The third coupler 44 may comprise a snap, a magnet or any other type of releasable, multiple use fastener.

[0021] A fourth coupler 50 is integrated into the scarf 30 and the fourth coupler 50 releasably engages the second coupler 28 for attaching the scarf 30 to the bonnet 12. In this way the scarf 30 can define a handle 52 for carrying the bonnet 12 in the convention of a bag. The fourth coupler 50 has an upper side 54 and a lower side 56. Additionally, the fourth coupler 50 extends through the outer surface 38 such that the upper side 54 of the fourth coupler 50 is exposed on the top side 40 of the outer surface 38 of the scarf 30 and the lower side 56 of the fourth coupler 50 is exposed on the bottom side 42 of the outer surface 38 of the scarf 30. The lower side 56 of the fourth coupler 50 releasably engages the second coupler 28 and the fourth coupler 50 is positioned adjacent to the second end 36 of the scarf 30.

[0022] In use, the bonnet 12 is worn on the user's head 32 when the user sleeps to protect the style of the user's hair 14. In this way the style of the user's hair 14 will remain intact in both style and appearance when the user wakes. Thus, the user does not have to spend time restyling their hair 14 when the user wakes. As is shown in FIG. 5, the bonnet 12 can be employed in the convention of a pillow case 16. Additionally, the scarf 30 can be attached to the bonnet 12 such that the scarf 30 facilitates the bonnet 12 to be carried.

[0023] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0024] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
