Whisker catching assembly and method

Abstract

A whisker catching assembly includes a panel that has a top side, a bottom side, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge wherein the first and second edges are positioned opposite of each other. The panel is flexible and has an aperture therein extending through the top and bottom sides and positioned adjacent to the first edge. The first edge has a break therein extending through the first edge and through a perimeter of the aperture. The aperture receives a person's neck. A pair of tabs is attached to the panel between the aperture and the first edge and the tabs are overlapped to close the break between the first edge and the aperture. A closure is mounted on the tabs to releasably couple the tabs together. A pair of mirror engageable couplers is attached to the panel and extends away from the bottom side.

1 . A whisker catching assembly configured for engaging a minor and a person's neck, said assembly comprising:
 a panel having a top side, a bottom side, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge wherein said first and second edges are positioned opposite of each other, said panel being comprised of a flexible material, said panel having an aperture therein extending through said top and bottom sides and being positioned adjacent to said first edge, said first edge having a break therein extending through said first edge and through a perimeter of said aperture, wherein said aperture is configured to receive a person's neck;   a pair of tabs being attached to said panel between said aperture and said first edge, said pair of tabs being overlapped to close said break between said first edge and said aperture, a closure being mounted on said pair of tabs to releasably couple said pair of tabs together; and   a pair of couplers being attached to said panel and extending away from said bottom side, said pair of couplers being configured to releasably engage a minor, wherein each of said pair of couplers comprises
 a suction cup, and 
 a mount attached to said suction cup, said mount being attached to said panel, said mount including a hook removably extendable through said panel, said hook being substantially L-shaped having a proximal section relative to said suction cup and a distal section relative to said suction cup, said distal section extending parallel to a bottom face of said suction cup. 
   
     
     
         2 . The whisker catching assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said panel is elongated from said first edge to said second edge. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The whisker catching assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said hook is removably extending through one of a plurality of aligned openings extending through said panel and positioned adjacent to said second edge, said plurality of aligned openings including a first set of aligned openings positioned adjacent to said third edge and extending from said second edge toward said first edge and a second set of aligned openings positioned adjacent to said fourth edge and extending from said second edge toward said first edge. 
     
     
         5 . The whisker catching assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said panel has a length from said first edge to said second edge between 36 inches and 60 inches and a width from said third edge to said forth edge between 24 inches and 42 inches. 
     
     
         6 . A whisker catching assembly configured for
 engaging a minor and a person's neck, said assembly comprising:
 a panel having a top side, a bottom side, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge wherein said first and second edges are positioned opposite of each other, said panel being comprised of a flexible material, said panel being elongated from said first edge to said second edge, said panel having an aperture therein extending through said top and bottom sides and being positioned adjacent to said first edge, said first edge having a break therein extending through said first edge and through a perimeter of said aperture, wherein said aperture is configured to receive a person's neck; 
 a pair of tabs being attached to said panel between said aperture and said first edge, said pair of tabs being overlapped to close said break between said first edge and said aperture, a closure being mounted on said pair of tabs to releasably couple said pair of tabs together, said closure including a first mating member attached to one of said pair of tabs and a second mating member attached to another one of said pair of tabs; 
 a pair of couplers being attached to said panel and extending away from said bottom side, said pair of couplers being configured to releasably engage a minor, each of said couplers comprising:
 a suction cup; 
 a mount attached to said suction cup, said mount being attached to said panel, said mount including a hook extendable through one of a plurality of aligned openings extending through said panel and positioned adjacent to said second edge, said hook being substantially L-shaped having a proximal section relative to said suction cup and a distal section relative to said suction cup, said distal section extending parallel to a bottom face of said suction cup, said plurality of aligned openings including a first set of aligned openings positioned adjacent to said third edge and extending from said second edge toward said first edge and a second set of aligned openings positioned adjacent to said fourth edge and extending from said second edge toward said first edge; and 
 
 said panel having a length from said first edge to said second edge between 36 inches and 60 inches and a width from said third edge to said forth edge between 24 inches and 42 inches. 
   
     
     
         7 . A method of catching whiskers as a person is shaving, said method including the steps of:
 providing a panel having a top side, a bottom side, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge wherein said first and second edges are positioned opposite of each other, said panel being comprised of a flexible material, said panel being elongated from said first edge to said second edge, said panel having an aperture therein extending through said top and bottom sides and being positioned adjacent to said first edge, said first edge having a break therein extending through said first edge and through a perimeter of said aperture;   positioning a person's neck in said aperture;   providing a pair of tabs being attached to said panel between said aperture and said first edge, said tabs being overlapped to close said break between said first edge and said aperture, a closure being mounted on said tabs to releasably couple said tabs together, said closure including a first mating member attached to one of said tabs and a second mating member attached to another one of said tabs;   attaching said tabs together with said closure;   providing a pair of couplers being attached to said panel;   attaching said couplers to a mirror such that said panel extends from said minor to the person's neck and said panel is positioned below the person's head to facilitate capturing of any whiskers during shaving.
