Abstract: A hat shaping device is configured to be installed on headwear (e.g., on a band of a peaked cap) to urge the headwear into an oblong and/or oval shape. The device includes a pair of hooks connected together in a manner that allows the device to be transitioned between a deployed configuration, in which the device is configured for installation on the headwear, and a stowed configuration, in which the device is configured for easy storage and/or transport. In some examples, the device is collapsed when in the stowed configuration (e.g., with respective legs of the pair of hooks nested together one on top of the other.).

Abstract: The combination of a headwear piece having: a) a crown with a wall having an inside surface bounding a space for receiving a part of a wearer's head; and b) a rim/bill projecting from a forward region of the crown; and an accessory having a body with a thickness between front and rear sides and made from a material that substantially blocks migration of moisture therethrough. The accessory has an array of small openings extending through the body thickness to provide for air passage. The accessory is configured to be placed in an operative position against the inside surface of the crown wall at the forward region of the crown to reduce contaminant transmission from a wearer's head to the inside surface of the crown wall at the forward region.

Abstract: A protector for protecting a targeted body part of the wearer is disclosed. The protector includes a mounting belt that is adapted to put on the body of the wearer, and at least one protective body that is adapted to cover the targeted body part when the protector is worn, the protective body extending from the mounting belt. The protective body includes a protective pad that substantially has a board shape, an airbag that is overlaid on an outer surface of the protective pad in a stacking manner and configured to be inflated with an inflation gas, and an outer cover that covers outer circumferences of the protective pad and the airbag as stacked one on another. At least a part of an outer circumferential edge of the airbag is joined to the protective pad so that the airbag will not float away from the protective pad when inflated.

Abstract: It is common for the organizers of endurance sports to provide aid stations along the route where participants may receive water to prevent dehydration. To reduce waste at these events, organizers encourage ‘cupless’ races that requiring participants to carry their own vessels. The present invention comprises a hat with a visor, such as a baseball style cap, with a collapsible drinking vessel integrated into the visor. During the course of the race, a runner may encounter a water stop and require a vessel to contain the liquid for immediate consumption. At such time the runner can simply remove their hat and configure the vessel to the open position to receive the liquid. Post-consumption the vessel is configured back to the closed position and becomes seamlessly integrated into the visor with no negative effects upon the runner.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a garment folding machine, which may effectively prevent damage to a drive motor and a loss of power caused by an overload of the drive motor by accurately detecting and determining a situation in which garments are lumped during a process of conveying or folding the garments, may effectively prevent damage to the lumped garments and related components, and may significantly reduce the time for which the operation of the folding machine is stopped by accurately specifying the position at which the garments are lumped and then notifying a user of the position to allow the user to take an immediate action.
