ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to the field of head coverings, and more particularly to a head covering with heat generating means.
Hair conditioning products are known. Recently a category of hair conditioning product has been introduced into the market place that requires the user to introduce heat to properly activate the conditioning qualities of the hair conditioning product. One manufacturer of such a product is Helene Curtis who makes a heat activated conditioner named Thermasilk. To help with the activation of the product, the manufacturer suggests that the user either use a hair dryer to heat the hair or to wrap the head with a plastic material to help retain the heat generated from the scalp area. Both these suggestions have their limitations. The hair dryer solution requires the user to hold his or her arm up in the air for extended periods and precludes the user from doing any other activity at the time of hair heating. The plastic head wrap solution works with the heat generated from the users head. Since body temperature is nintey eight degrees, the heat within the wrap can not exceed that temperature. Most of the heat activated conditioners work best at temperatures higher than body temperature.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the invention is to provide a head covering means that has a heat generating compound built in, that when activated, provides a warm environment to facilitate the use of heat activated hair conditioners.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.
Head Covering with Heat Generating Means comprising: an insulated adjustable head covering, a rigid cross brace, a plurality of heat generating packets removably attached to said cross brace, said heat generating packets comprised of a combination of iron powder, water, salt, activated charcoal and vermiculite, and said heat generating packets packed in an air tight package and which activate when removed from said air tight package.
The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments to the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. It is to be understood that in some instances various aspects of the invention may be shown exaggerated or enlarged to facilitate an understanding of the invention.
