Abstract:
A shampoo cape device comprising a single rectangular rear panel having front, rear, and laterally opposing sides; a pair of at least four sided front panels including one of said sides diagonal to at least two of the remaining sides; said diagonal side of each front panel attached along the front side of said rear panel; said two of said sides of each of said front panels converging forward toward one another to form a pointed configuration and diverging rearward from one another; one of said two sides of each front panel being adjacent one another along substantially straight lines and diverging forward away from one another; a strap to secure the rearward end of each one of said two sides of said front panels, so that the device may be applied over a wearer's shoulders with said diagonal connections resting upon the shoulders of the wearer; the strap will secure the rearward end of each one of said two sides of said front panels about the neck of the wearer forming an up-turned collar and so that the one of said two sides will be drawn substantially parallel to one another and overlapping one another continuously along their length to provide a continuous closed surface across the front of the wearer; said front panels extending downward along the front of the wearer below the shoulders of the wearer to at least adjacent the wearer's armpits provide a vest like configuration to front of the device when worn by the wearer, with said front panels free of said rear panel below the diagonal connection and adjacent the arm pits of the wearer, so that the panels may be raised up about the diagonal connection to the front panel to form channels along the lateral sides of the rear panel toward the rear of the rear panel and the person to which the device is attached may be rested rearward in a sink and the upward formed channels will tend to direct fluids applied to the head of the wear along the rear panel into the sink.
