Patent attributes
An article of swim gear consisting of a cap for protecting the hair during the practice of recreational swimming or other aquatic sports. The cap comprises a main body whose tripartite structure allows the accommodation of the hair without squeezing it, thus maintaining the shape of the hairdo. The cap also comprises an internal positioning-blocking unit consisting of an annular band attached to the rim of the cap by only one of its edges, which gently holds the cap to the user's head, and a seepage-prevention strip cantilevered over the outer face of the annular band, which stops and absorbs the water that could seep under the edge of the cap in the areas of neck and temples. Three embodiments of the cap are described and graphically illustrated.
