The beard-grooming clean up sheets 100 (hereinafter invention) comprises a sheet member 101 that is generally planar and includes a domed recess 102 thereon. The sheet member 101 is a generally rectangular planar body with a forward half 103 containing the domed recess 102 thereon. The sheet member 101 is further defined with a horizontal line 104, which separates the forward half 103 from a rearward half 105.
It shall be noted that the domed recess 102 extends vertically with respect to a top surface 106 of the sheet member 101. The domed recess 102 has a diameter 107 that is adapted to correlate with a faucet 200. The domed recess 102 is adapted to be placed over the faucet 200 while the rearward half 105 of the sheet member 101 is adapted to be draped over a sink 201 that correlates with the faucet 200. The domed recess 102 and the sheet member 101 are adapted to receive hair trimmings 300 that are associated with personal grooming.
The sheet member 101 is further defined with a first edge 108, a second edge 109, a third edge 110, and a fourth edge 111. The first edge 108 is opposite the third edge 110. The second edge 109 is opposite the fourth edge 111. The second edge 108 is adjacent to the domed recess 102; whereas the fourth edge 111 defines the limit of the rearward half 105. The first edge 108, the third edge 110, and the fourth edge 111 are adapted to be adjacent to the sink 201. The second edge 109 is adapted to be positioned behind the faucet 200.
The sheet member 101 and the domed recess 102 are surrounded by a plurality of sheet armatures 112. The plurality of sheet armatures 112 are adapted to be used to further secure the invention 100 onto a supporting surface 202. It shall be noted that the term supporting surface 202 is being used to refer to a counter that may surround the sink 201 and the faucet 200. The plurality of sheet armatures 112 is further defined with a first armature 113, a second armature 114, a third armature 115, and a fourth armature 116.
The first armature 113 touches and extends outwardly with respect to the first edge 108. The second armature 114 touches and extends outwardly with respect to the second edge 109. The third armature 115 touches and extends outwardly with respect to the third edge 110. The fourth armature 116 touches and extends outwardly with respect to the fourth edge 111. The overall shape of the invention 100 when viewed from above resembles a “+” shaped sign. The first armature 113 is parallel with and opposite of the third armature 115. The second armature 114 is parallel with and opposite of the fourth armature 116.
The plurality of sheet armatures 112 is further defined with a bottom armature surface 117. The bottom armature surface 117 is adapted to interface with the supporting surface 202. Moreover, the first armature 113 and the third armature 115 each include an adhering member 118 that is used to further secure the invention 100 over the sink 201 and the supporting surface 202. The adhering member 118 is a glorified term for a strip of adhesive. The adhering member 118 may include a removable wax paper strip 119 that is peeled off prior to securing the invention 100 onto the supporting surface 202.
The sheet member 101 and the plurality of armatures 112 may be constructed of a plastic sheeting or paper. After use, the invention 100 is simply detached from the supporting surface 202, and the sheet member 101 is folded over onto itself, and collecting hair trimmings 300 collected thereon. The invention 100 may then be discarded or cleaned for subsequent uses. It shall be noted that the invention 100 may be reusable or designated as a single use product. Referring to FIG. 5, the invention 100 may come in a box 150 with a plurality of disposables included therein.
With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationship for the various components of the invention described above and in FIGS. 1 through 5 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 the invention.
It shall be noted that those skilled in the art will readily recognize numerous adaptations and modifications which can be made to the various embodiments of the present invention which will result in an improved invention, yet all of which will fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the following claims. Accordingly, the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
