摘要：
A headband device fo absorbing liquids used with hair dressing treatments. A fluid impervious barrier layer is formed into a strip which extends for a distance greater than the circumference of the head. The strip has a width sufficient to define an absorbent region and a sealing region. Also provided is an adhesive layer applied to the absorbent region of the inside of the strip. A layer of superabsorbent material is placed in the absorbent region of the strip and is held in place by the adhesive. A moisture pervious fibrous stock is attached to the strip to cover the super absorbent and is exposed on the inside of the strip for contact with the head. The sealing region of the strip is bonded to the fibrous stock along the length of the strip and at the terminal ends. Flow of liquids such as perm solutions are limited to the absorbent region solely through the fibrous stock. The device is adjustable for fastening to a person's head to absorb hair coloring agents, perm solutions and the like.
技术功效语段：
It has now been discovered that the above and other objects of the present invention can be accomplished by construction of a device in accordance with the following principles. Specifically, a head band device has been discovered which is suitable for absorbing liquids used with hair dressing treatments such as permanents waves, coloring and the like. The device is economical to construct and for that reason is disposable after being filled with liquid, yet it is not messy when removed.
权利要求：
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

a moisture pervious fibrous stock sized to cover the absorbent holding region of said strip and having an inside facing region adjacent said absorbent holding region and an outside contact region for contacting the person's head;
an adhesive layer applied to at least one of said absorbent holding region and inside facing region;
a layer of superabsorbent material held in place by said adhesive;
means for bonding said sealing region of said strip at least to said fibrous stock along the length of the strip, to restrict flow of liquids on a person's head to said absorbent region only through said fibrous stock; and
adjustable means for fastening said strip to a person's head to present said fibrous stock in contact therewith.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein said barrier layer is formed from a film selected from polypropylene, polyethylene, and mixtures thereof.
3. The device of claim 2, wherein said film is formed from polypropylene.
4. The device of claim 3, wherein said polypropylene is a two temperature co-extrusion film having an inner side with a lower melting temperature.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein said adhesive layer is printed on the inside of said strip.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein said adhesive is printed using a roll coater.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein said superabsorbent material is particulate.
8. The device of claim 7, wherein said particulate superabsorbent is printed on said adhesive.
9. The device of claim 7, wherein said particulate is distributed with a predetermined pattern.
10. The device of claim 1, wherein the ends of said headband are hermetically sealed to prevent flow of liquid out either end thereof.
11. The device of claim 1, wherein said adhesive is printed on the inside facing region of said fibrous stock.
12. The device of claim 1, wherein said moisture pervious fibrous stock is a non-woven stock.
13. The device of claim 12, wherein said fibrous non-woven stock is selected from diaper stock and incontinent pad stock.
14. The device of claim 1, which further includes a plurality of said headbands formed from a continuous strip, said strip having means for separating said plurality of headbands.
15. The device of claim 14, wherein said means for separating said plurality includes a perforated edge and hermetic terminal end seals to prevent liquid flow out either end.
16. The device of claim 1, wherein said adjustable means for fastening said strip to a person's hand comprises contact tabs.
17. A headband device for placement about a person's head for absorbing liquids used with hair dressing treatments, comprising:
a fluid impervious barrier layer formed from a film selected from polypropylene, polyethylene and mixtures thereof into a strip extending for a distance greater than the circumference of the head, said strip having a width sufficient to define an absorbent holding region and a sealing region;
a moisture pervious fibrous stock sized to cover the absorbent holding region of said strip and having an inside facing region adjacent said absorbent holding region and an outside contact region for contacting the person's head;
an adhesive layer printed on said absorbent holding region;
a layer of particulate superabsorbent material printed on said adhesive;
means for bonding said sealing region of said strip at least to said fibrous stock along the length of the strip, to restrict flow of liquids on a person's head to said absorbent region only through said fibrous stock; and
adjustable means for fastening said strip to a person's head to present said fibrous stock in contact therewith.
18. The device of claim 17, wherein said film is formed from polypropylene.
19. The device of claim 17, wherein said polypropylene is a two temperature co-extrusion film having an inner side with a lower melting temperature.
20. The device of claim 17, wherein said adhesive is printed on the inside of said strip using a roll coater.
21. The device of claim 17, wherein said ends are hermetically sealed to prevent liquid flow out either end.
22. The device of claim 17, wherein said particulate is distributed with a predetermined pattern.
23. The device of claim 17, wherein said fibrous non-woven stock is selected from diaper stock and incontinent pad stock.
24. The device of claims 17, which further includes a plurality of said headbands formed from a continuous strip, said strip having perforation means for separating said plurality of headbands and hermetic sealed terminal ends to prevent liquid flow out either end.
25. The device of claim 17, wherein said adjustable means for fastening said strip to a person's hand comprises contact tabs.
