Abstract

An apparatus for covering the hard surface of a barber shop or beauty parlor sink to protect the neck of a customer whose hair is being shampooed, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a flexible, resilient cushion adapted to overlie a portion of a sink. The sink includes a bowl having an inner bowl surface, a substantially horizontal surface connected to and projecting outwardly form a top edge of the bowl, and a downwardly directed surface connected to the substantially horizontal surface. The cushion includes a first portion adapted to overlie a portion of the bowl surface, a second portion integrally connected to the first portion and adapted to overlie a portion of the substantially horizontal surface, and a third portion integrally connected to said second portion and adapted to overlie a portion of the downwardly directed surface. The first and third portions are resiliently inclined toward one another and tend to grip the sink when mounted on the sink. The cushion also includes a top surface, a portion of which top surface is covered by a relatively thin layer of silicone.
