Nurse's surgical cap
Abstract
Abstract A ONE-PIECE CAP COMPLETELY COVERS THE HAIR REGARDLESS OF EXTREME VARIATIONS OF HAIR STYLE. THE BLANK FROM WHICH THE CAP IS FABRICATED HAS AN ENLARGED MAIN BODY PORTION AND AN INTEGRAL BAND PORTION HAVING LATERALLY EXTENDING TIES. AN ELASTIC IS FASTENED AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE MAIN BODY PORTION, GATHERING THE SAME TOGETHER IN A SNOOD-LIKE POUCH. THE CAP IS APPLIED BY INSERTING THE HAIR AT THE BACK OF THE NECK INTO THE SNOOD-LIKE POUCH AND DRAWING THE CAP UP OVER THE TOP OF THE HEAD AND DOWN OVER THE FOREHEAD, THEN DRAWING THE BAND BACK TO ENVELOPE THE HAIR AT THE SIDES OF THE HEAD, THUS COMPLETELY COVERING THE HAIR, AND TYING THE ENDS OF THE TIES BEHIND THE BACK OF THE HEAD. ADJUSTABILITY FOR HEIGHT OF THE CAP IS ACHIEVED BY THE BAND, WHICH MAY EXTEND DOWN OVER THE FOREHEAD OR BE FOLDED UP EITHER ENTIRELY OR PARTIALLY. ALTERNATIVELY, THE ELONGATED TIES MAY BE REPLACED WITH BINDING TAPE.
