  • Patent number: 7788735
    Abstract: A device designed to protect a user's clothing from spills and mishaps is placed underneath a vinyl protector commonly used in beauty salons during shampooing and other hair and beauty treatments. When used in this manner, it provides additional protection for a user's clothing and ensures that water and other liquids that get underneath the vinyl protector will not contact the wearer's clothing. It is comprised of a soft absorbent material such as terry cloth and fastens about a neck of the user with the aid of a fastener system. It is perfect for eating messy foods in the home, in restaurants, or in locations where eating is awkward, such as in the car. It is also ideal for the elderly, the physically disabled, or others with diminished coordination that may frequently soil their clothes while eating.
