ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND-FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to a specially designed child's hair shampooing chair that safely, conveniently, and effectively shampoo babies, toddlers, and small children's hair.
BACKGROUND-DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
The utility U.S. Pat. No. 5,599,063 to Lister, Lister, Feb. 4, 1997 is considered to be a very relevant prior art reference discovered during the search. This patent effectively discloses an invention which performs function similar to the function perform by the child's hair shampooing chair comprising the present invention. However, the structure of the invention shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,599,063 is different from that of my invention, and I believe a patentable distinction could be made. The U.S. Pat. No. 5,599,063 reference also provides a good example of the amount of written and illustrated description required to obtain utility patent protection for my type of invention.
The utility U.S. Pat. No. 4,167,048 to Williams, Sep. 11, 1979 has been provided as another example of an invention which is related to the present invention and is relevant to the extent that a similar function is disclosed. Structural differences between my invention and the invention shown in the patent document U.S. Pat. No. 4,167,048 are evident however, this patent, either considered alone or in combination with the patent document U.S. Pat. No. 5,559,063 should not preclude the seeking of patent protection for the child's hair shampooing chair of the present invention. The U.S. Pat. No. 4,167,048 reference offer another good example of the amount of written and illustrated description required to obtain utility patent protection in the United States.
The U.S. Pat. No. 4,240,662, to Anderson, Dec. 23, 1980 which is another utility patent, is considered to be relevant to disclosed function of my invention. However, there are still structural differences between my invention, and the inventions disclosed in the patent documents U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,599,063; 4,167,048; and 4,240,662. Whether considered alone, or in combination with each other accordingly, these patent documents should not prevent me, in my opinion, from having a reasonably good chance of obtaining patent protection for my invention. The U.S. Pat. No. 4,240,662 reference provides another good example of the amount of written and illustrated description required to obtain utility patent protection.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,697,480 to Du Bois, Dec. 21, 1954 U.S. Pat. No. 3,086,222 to Hall and Jenkins, Apr. 23, 1963 and 266,940 to Roslan, Nov. 16, 1982 are provided as being of general interest and are also pertinent to the construction and design of my invention. They have been included with this report as being further indicative of the current state of the art.
Objects and Advantages
The main advantage of my invention, is the child will get a relaxing shampoo, the same as an adult get when they go to a beauty solon. Accordingly, there are several other objects and advantages of my invention, for example, the adjustable inserted neck rest which allows water to freely flow away from the child's face, eyes and ears. The adjustable inserted neck rest can be positioned in to any desired upright, inclined, or fully reclined positions while the child is seated. The child's hair shampooing chair has arms to prevent the child from falling out. The chair also has a special designed body contoured seat that drain water so that the child would not have to sit in soapy water and debris from shampoo which could sometime cause infection. The child's hair shampooing chair can be used after the hair is washed as a hair-grooming chair for the child.
The child's hair shampooing chair comes in bright vivid colors that are pleasing to a child's eyes.
The child's hair shampooing chair is lightweight, compact, and the adjustable inserted neck rest, can be folded flat to easily transport while traveling. The child's hair shampooing chair has a replaceable padded cushion for the adjustable inserted neck rest, chair back, and body contoured seat, for added comfort.
The old standard methods of having a child lean over the kitchen sink in an uncomfortable position, or sitting or standing in the unsafe bathtub, would be replaced by using my specially designed child's hair shampooing chair. The child's hair shampooing chair is also designed to eliminate the chance of slipping and to comfortably, conveniently, and safely accommodate babies, toddlers, and small children.
My child's hair shampooing chair would contribute to a more relaxing, pleasurable hair shampooing and grooming experience for babies, toddlers and small children. The child's hair shampooing chair is easy to use, practical, reasonably priced, and effective.
The child's hair shampooing chair would contribute to a more enjoyable hair shampoo, which makes doing a child's hair a pleasure, not a burden.
Further objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing description.
