Header Cover

Abstract

A header cover encloses an end of an unwoven material cylinder to protect the unwoven material from damage or debris during storage or transportation. Unwoven material cylinders are commonly used to produce products such as clean suits, baby diapers, absorbent material, etc. The header cover includes a cover disc, a plurality of lateral-interfacing flaps, and a tethering ring. The cover disc and the plurality of lateral interfacing flaps encapsulate an end of the unwoven material cylinder. The plurality of lateral-interfacing flaps is perimetrically and foldably connected to the cover disc to allow the header cover to fold over an edge of the unwoven material cylinder. The tethering ring is adjacently connected to each lateral-interfacing flap of the plurality of lateral-interfacing flaps, such that as one lateral-interfacing flap is folded, every lateral interfacing flap is folded in the same direction.
