Abstract
Abstract A tanning bed cap includes a pliant body having at least one layer, an interior cavity and a head receiving opening providing access to the interior cavity. The layer is either one of an insulating material, a reflective material or both. The head receiving opening has a peripheral elastic, whereby the head receiving opening engages a head of a person wearing the cap. The tanning bed cap protects ones hair from ultraviolet radiation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A tanning bed cap comprising: a pliant layered body having an outer layer and an inner layer, the pliant layered body defining an interior cavity and having a head receiving opening which provides access to the interior cavity; the outer layer being of a reflective material and having a sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating to reflect ultraviolet rays; the inner layer being of a insulating material for reducing heat build up within the interior cavity during use; the head receiving opening having a peripheral elastic, whereby the head receiving opening engages a head of a person wearing the cap; and the sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating is about 1000.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A tanning bed cap comprising: a pliant layered body having an outer layer and an inner layer, the pliant layered body defining an interior cavity and having a head receiving opening which provides access to the interior cavity; the outer layer being of a reflective material and having a sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating to reflect ultraviolet rays; the inner layer being of a insulating material for reducing heat build up within the interior cavity during use; the head receiving opening having a peripheral elastic, whereby the head receiving opening engages a head of a person wearing the cap; and the sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating is about 1000.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The tanning bed cap as defined in claim 1 , wherein both the outer layer and the inner layer are of a breathable material, thereby permitting heat to escape from the interior cavity through the inner layer and the outer layer without any non-breathable intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers to impede the escape of heat.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
69 words
The tanning bed cap as defined in claim 1 , wherein both the outer layer and the inner layer are of a breathable material, thereby permitting heat to escape from the interior cavity through the inner layer and the outer layer without any non-breathable intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers to impede the escape of heat; the outer layer and the inner layer directly contact one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
133 words
A tanning bed cap comprising: a pliant layered body consisting only of an outer layer and an inner layer without any layer between the outer layer and the inner layer, and the pliant layered body defining an interior cavity and having a head receiving opening which provides access to the interior cavity; the outer layer being of a reflective material and having a sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating to reflect ultraviolet rays; the inner layer being of a insulating material for reducing heat build up within the interior cavity during use, and the outer layer contacting the inner layer; the head receiving opening having a peripheral elastic, whereby the head receiving opening engages a head of a person wearing the cap; and the sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating is about 1000.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
133 words
A tanning bed cap comprising: a pliant layered body consisting only of an outer layer and an inner layer without any layer between the outer layer and the inner layer, and the pliant layered body defining an interior cavity and having a head receiving opening which provides access to the interior cavity; the outer layer being of a reflective material and having a sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating to reflect ultraviolet rays; the inner layer being of a insulating material for reducing heat build up within the interior cavity during use, and the outer layer contacting the inner layer; the head receiving opening having a peripheral elastic, whereby the head receiving opening engages a head of a person wearing the cap; and the sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating is about 1000.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
The tanning bed cap as defined in claim 4 , wherein both the outer layer and the inner layer are of a breathable material, thereby permitting heat to escape from the interior cavity through the inner layer and the outer layer without any non-breathable intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers to impede the escape of heat.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The tanning bed cap as defined in claim 4 , wherein the outer layer and the inner layer directly contact one another.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
80 words
The tanning bed cap as defined in claim 4 , wherein both the outer layer and the inner layer are of a breathable material, thereby permitting heat to escape from the interior cavity through the inner layer and the outer layer without any non-breathable intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers to impede the escape of heat; the sufficiently high UltraViolet Protection Factor rating is about 1000; and the outer layer and the inner layer directly contact one another.
