Disposable barber-chair headrest protective covering/ disposable protective covering for barber-chair headrest

Abstract

A disposable barber-chair headrest protective covering is provided to be used specifically for the headrest of a barber-chair. The disposable barber-chair headrest protective covering will be used to cover the headrest of the barber-chair before each service to prevent the cross-contamination of germs, hair debris, and infectious disease that can be transmitted from the head, scalp, or/and hair. The disposable barber-chair headrest protective covering will also minimize erosion and damage to the barber-chair caused by chemical build-up.The disposable barber-chair headrest protective covering will be made of material that is disposable, inexpensive, and flexible, with an elastic (or similar) band adhesive or sown in at the edges for flexibility. The elasticity allows the covering to hug the headrest of the barber-chair and be close-fitting. It can be applied by opening the elastic edges of the invention and sliding it onto the barber-chair headrest.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A disposable barber-chair headrest protective covering comprising: A 15 inch×12 inch sheet of non-woven polypropylene material, and a tape of elastomeric material, wherein said non woven material is folded along the edges and sealed by stitching or adhesion, and said tape of elastomeric material is inserted into or adhered onto the woven polypropylene material to hug tightly onto any headrest of barber-chair.

 A hygienic kit for a headrest is far different from a disposable barber-chair headrest protective covering. Moreover, a vehicle headrest is different from a barber-chair headrest. 
 Further, the claimed invention is not in public use for sale, nor is it available to the public. I am a licensed Cosmetologist/Barber, and I have been in the industry for thirty years. The claimed invention is not for sale to the public nor available to the public. Infectious diseases, and hair and scalp disorders are being transmitted from the multiple heads touching the barber-chair headrest attachment. This is a problem that needs to be solved and addressed. 
 The Examiner also referred to Mentz, in which the prior art relates to a roll of tissue being attached to the barber chair. A roll of tissue is not identical to the claimed invention. 
 The claimed invention claim does use language from the application of the prior art to describe the claimed invention. However, this was used for the sole purpose of the inventor to best describe the claimed invention. The inventor is a
