Barber's Cape With Chin Prop

Abstract

A barber's cape with a chin prop sewn into it. The chin prop is typically made of leather full of a cushioning material which prevents a child from looking straight down into his chest. The barber's cape with chin prop is made from any material which causes minimal discomfort to the child while still limiting the range of motion which the child can squirm and look down. In some embodiments, the chin prop is removably coupled to the barber's cape, so the chin prop can be removed if the child is looking straight forward and not squirming.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

While there have been many barber's capes over the years, there hasn't been a barber's cape specifically designed for young children who look down during a haircut. A barber's nightmare is a child that will not sit still in the chair.

Children are either scared of the clippers or think the clippers are pinching them and the first thing a child does is drops his chin into his chest. This makes it very difficult to cut a child's hair.

The barber either has to use his free hand to forcibly keep the kid's head up at an manageable angle or requires the parent the parent has to hold the child's head up. However, in most cases the free hand should be used for holding a brush or comb to complete the desired fade, or gently holding the forehead straight to achieve an accurate line up.

The present subject matter aims to reduce this problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to clearly describe various specific embodiments disclosed herein. One skilled in the art, however, will understand that the presently claimed invention may be practiced without all of the specific details discussed below. In other instances, well known features have not been described so as not to obscure the invention.

The present subject matter is a barber's cape 5 with a chin prop 10 sewn into it. The chin prop is typically made of leather full of a cushioning material which prevents a child from looking straight down into his chest.

The barber's cape with chin prop is made from any material which causes minimal discomfort to the child while still limiting the range of motion which the child can squirm and look down. In some embodiments, the chin prop is removably coupled to the barber's cape, so the chin prop can be removed if the child is looking straight forward and not squirming.

The foregoing detailed description of exemplary and preferred embodiments is presented for purposes of illustration and disclosure in accordance with the requirements of the law. It is not intended to be exhaustive nor to limit the invention to the precise form(s) described, but only to enable others skilled in the art to understand how the invention may be suited for a particular use or implementation.

The possibility of modifications and variations will be apparent to practitioners skilled in the art. No limitation is intended by the description of exemplary embodiments which may have included tolerances, feature dimensions, specific operating conditions, engineering specifications, or the like, and which may vary between implementations or with changes to the state of the art, and no limitation should be implied therefrom.
