Abstract: A rinse bib or cape for use during the washing, shampooing, setting, permanent waving and the like of the hair of invalids. The cape includes a body of lightweight, waterproof plastic sheeting adapted to encircle the head below the hairline, and to extend downwardly along the shoulders and back of the patient. A pocket is formed in the lower end of the cape for collecting liquids applied to the hair after the liquid flows from the hair and downwardly along the upper and central portions of the cape body. A pair of outwardly extending flaps is formed on the upper end of the cape. The flaps partially encircle the patient's head and extend outwardly therefrom in the vicinity of the temples, reducing splashing of the applied liquid into the face and eyes of the patient. Tie-strings are attached to the antisplash flaps for securing the cape on the head of the patient. A drain hose extends from the bottom of the pocket for draining liquids from the pocket into a collection receptacle or drain.
