BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Description of Related Art including information disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98.The disclosure and prior art relates to sweat band devices and more particularly pertains to a new sweat band device for inhibiting a hat from being soiled with sweat.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAn embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a hat that has a sweatband. A belt is removably coupled to the hat and the belt is coextensive with the sweatband. The belt is positioned between the sweatband and the user's head thereby inhibiting sweat from contacting the hat.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A belt 22 is provided and the belt 22 is removably coupled to the hat 12. The belt 22 is coextensive with the sweatband 14 and the belt 22 is positioned between the sweatband 14 and the user's head 18. In this way the belt 22 inhibits sweat 24 from contacting the hat 12, thereby soiling the hat 12.
The belt 22 is continuous such that 12 the belt 22 forms a closed loop. The belt 22 has a first surface 26, a second surface 28 and a top edge 30. The second surface 28 abuts the inwardly facing surface 16 of the sweatband 14 and the first surface 26 abuts the user's head 18 when the hat 12 is worn. The belt 22 is comprised of a fluid absorbent material such as a textile or the like. The first surface 26 of the belt 22 is comprised of a compressible material such as fleece or the like thereby enhancing comfort of the belt 22.
A plurality of clips 32 is provided and each of the clips 32 is coupled to the belt 22. Each of the clips 32 engages the sweatband 14 to retain the belt 22 on the sweatband 14. Each of the clips 32 is coupled to the top edge 30 of the belt 22 and the clips 32 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed around the belt 22. Each of the clips 32 extends downwardly along the second surface 28 and each of the clips 32 is spaced from the second surface 28. The sweatband 14 is extended upwardly between each of the clips 32 and the belt 22 when the belt 22 is positioned on the sweatband 14. In this way the clips 32 retain the belt 22 on the sweatband 14.
In use, the sweatband 14 is extended upwardly between each of the clips 32 and the belt 22 having the second surface 28 abutting the sweatband 14. In this way the belt 22 is positioned to be coextensive with the sweatband 14. The hat 12 is worn and the first surface 26 of the belt 22 abuts the user 20's head 18. The belt 22 absorbs sweat 24 from the user 20 when the hat 12 is worn and the belt 22 inhibits the sweat 24 from contacting and soiling the hat 12. The belt 22 is selectively removed from the sweatband 14 for laundering.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
Claims
1. A sweat band system for inhibiting a band of a hat from being soiled with sweat, said system comprising:
- a hat being configured to be worn, said hat having a sweatband; and
- a belt being removably coupled to said hat, said belt being coextensive with said sweatband wherein said belt is configured to be positioned between said sweatband and the user's head thereby inhibiting sweat from contacting said hat.
2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said sweatband has an inwardly facing surface wherein said inwardly facing surface is configured to abut a head of a user when said hat is worn.
3. The system according to claim 1, wherein:
- said sweatband has an inwardly facing surface; and
- said belt is continuous such that said belt forms a closed loop, said belt having a first surface, a second surface, and a top edge, said second surface abutting said inwardly facing surface of said sweatband, said first surface being configured to abut the user's head when said hat is worn, said belt being comprised of a fluid absorbent material.
4. The system according to claim 3, further comprising a plurality of clips, each of said clips being coupled to said belt, each of said clips engaging said sweatband such that said belt is retained on said sweatband.
5. The system according to claim 4, wherein each of said clips is coupled to said top edge of said belt, said clips being spaced apart from each other and being distributed around said belt, each of said clips extending downwardly along and being spaced from said second surface, said sweatband being positioned between each of said clips and said belt when said belt is positioned on said sweatband.
6. A sweat band system for inhibiting a band of a hat from being soiled with sweat, said system comprising:
