ABSTRACT:
An improved disposable head covering, such as a chef's hat, includes a peripheral cylindrical wall having opposed end sections. The wall is defined by an inner liner and a corrugated sheet adhesively secured to the outer surface of the liner. A shape-sustaining crown member is fastened to the upper end section of the wall, while the lower end section thereof remains unobstructed to receive the head of a user. The crown member is a generally circular disc. The disc includes a scored diameter which serves to (a) bisect the disc into two segments and (b) facilitate folding of the disc between a collapsed condition and a shape-sustaining condition. Preferably the disc further includes tab members and cut-out members positioned along the scored diameter thereof. The tab members and cut-out members are correspondingly shaped and sized so that the tab member of one disc segment frictionally engages the cut-out member of the other disc segment when the crown member is in the shape-sustaining condition. The shape-sustaining crown member is thereby folded upon itself when the head covering is collapsed for storage and shipment, and the crown member is frictionally retained in a generally planar condition to maintain the shape of the cylindrical wall when the head covering is worn by the user.
