Face protecting device
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention relates to a hair band in general and in special to a band from which the solution is dischargeable during its use, enabling the user to use a drier without removing the band. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART 
     Numerous face protecting devices are disclosed in the prior art. Some of them are the following: U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,640,198 Mullen, 1,640,676 Shaeffer, 3,529,308 McBride, 2,738,514, Gondell. 
     The above referenced patents intend to protect the face, eyes, ears during hair treatment; generally they rely on the absorption of the solution by the hair band, however once the band is saturated, the solution will drip down to the face of the user. 
     The present invention on the other hand has means of discharging the solution caught in the channel. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Objects and Advantages 
     It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a device for protecting the face from the solution used during shampooing and hair tinting. 
     A further object of the present invention is to provide means of discharging the solution which dripped down from the hair. 
     A further object of the present invention is to enable its user to use a drier without removing the protecting device.

     FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the device as used along the hairline. 
     FIG. 2 is a sectional view illustrating the closing of the device. 
     FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the device in open position. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Referring now to the drawing FIG. 3 shows the device comprising a flexible band 4 formed into a channel 7, a soft material preferably a sponge 3 glued or otherwise attached to the wall of the band 4 which will be adjacent to the hairline. At one end the device terminates in a wedge 2, cemented into the channel and adapted to be adjustably inserted into the opposite end of the device. 
     A flap 1 is attached close to the end of the outside wall 5 of the band 4 and a tab 12 is attached to the other end of the wall 5. The flap 1 is attachable to the tab 12, thereby closing the device. 
     The band 4 is thick at the center and is tapered toward both ends, making it more suitable for placing it along the hairline. The device is provided with one or more openings, closeable with valves 9, for discharging the solution collected in the channel.
