Title: Cloth hood

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      1. Field of the Invention  
      The present invention relates generally to the structure of a cloth hood.  
      2. The Prior Art  
      A clean room is facility of extreme importance to the semi-conductor industry, in which people&#39;s saliva, hair, scalp bits, and so on must be prevented, and a simple and an instant effective way is to wear a cloth hood.  
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      A primary object of the present invention is to overcome the uncomfortable conventional hood and preventing people&#39;s hair, saliva, scalp bits from being dropped to the floor or suspended in the air by presenting an innovated cloth hood of the present invention.  
      In order to realize above object, a hood in made in accordance with the present invention by punching a flexible cloth into a pair of bilaterally symmetrical twin pieces and stitching them together. The cloth hood comprises a gap formed at a position corresponding to that of each eye in respective pieces, a jutting portion below each gap, a recess portion defined at somewhere below the jutting portion and along the peripheral stitch line of the cloth hood, an extension end defined below the recess portion, another recess portion arranged at a position almost exactly opposite to the mentioned recess portion and the top and the bottom end of the cloth hood shaped in arc style.  
      In wearing the cloth hood, the jutting portion provides a space in three dimensions for accommodating the nose, and the cloth hood can be attached closely against the mid-portion of neck and covered on the peripheral shoulders thereof under assistance of the recess portions located approximately on the neck and the associated bottom arcuate end as well as the extension end so that the cloth hood can be well attached to a user&#39;s head. The flexible cloth is non-woven cloth in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As the cloth hood can be closely and flexibly attached onto a user&#39;s head, it is possible to prevent hair or scalp bits from being dropped to the floor without incurring any discomfort to the user.  
      For more detailed information regarding advantages or features of the present invention, at least an example of preferred embodiment will be described below with reference to the annexed drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
      As illustrated in  FIGS. 1, 2 ,  4 , and  5 , a cloth hood  1  is made by: firstly, punching a piece of flexible cloth to obtain a pair of bilaterally symmetrical twin pieces; stitching most peripheral part of the symmetrical pieces together except the lower part thereof to thereby form an elementary hood; opening a gap  11  at a position corresponding to that of each eye in respective pieces and forming a jutting portion  12  below each gap  11 ; defining a recess portion  13  somewhere below the jutting portion  12  and along the peripheral stitch line; defining an extension end  15  below the recess portion  13 ; defining another recess portion  14  at a position almost exactly opposite to the recess portion  13 ; and making the top and the bottom end of the cloth hood  1  arcuate to complete the job.  
      In wearing the cloth hood  1 , the jutting portion  12  provides a space in three dimensions for accommodating the nose, and the hood  1  can be attached closely to a mid-portion of the neck and covered on the peripheral shoulders under assistance of the recess portions  13 / 14  located approximately on the neck and the associated bottom arcuate end as well as the extension end  15 , so that the cloth hood  1  can be well attached to a user&#39;s head. The flexible cloth is non-woven cloth in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As the cloth hood  1  is closely and flexibly attached onto a user&#39;s head, it is possible to prevent hair or scalp bits from being dropped to the floor without incurring any discomfort to the user. For a practical use, we would refer you to an example shown in  FIG. 3 .  
      In the above described, at least one preferred embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the drawings annexed, and it is apparent that numerous changes or modifications may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope thereof, as set forth in the claims below.
