Abstract: A shared ride system comprising a SIPV further comprising at least an integrated safety device wherein the safety device is a coupled safety helmet.

Abstract: A removable cooling apparatus for a hat spaces a headband of the hat away from a wearer's head, creating an air gap that allows air flow over the wearer's head. A removable cooling apparatus uses coupling structures to hold the removable cooling apparatus in place against the headband. The removable cooling apparatus can be removed completely from the hat when not needed or for cleaning, leaving the hat in an unaltered state. A removable cooling apparatus may use a thin flexible strip to keep the headband of the hat from falling open into the air gap created by the removable cooling apparatus. The removable cooling apparatus use compressible pads to space the headband away from the wearer's head. The contact location of the compressible pads with the wearer's head can be easily adjusted by the wearer.

Abstract: Protective headbands are disclosed. One protective headband has a padding layer that includes a pair of first portions extending in a first direction along a first axis, a second portion extending in the first direction and spaced from the first axis, and a pair of angled portions connecting between the pair of first portions and the second portion. Another protective headband has a padding layer that includes a pair of first arcuate portions, and a second arcuate portion extending between the pair of first arcuate portions, the second arcuate portion curving in a same direction as the pair of first arcuate portions.

Abstract: An upper body article of clothing has a hood and a pump for filling an airtight inflatable inner space in the hood with air or other gas. The inflatable inner space extends along parts of the hood around the neck and over the head of a person wearing the article.

Abstract: This invention is a mobile wearable electromagnetic brain activity monitor comprising a frame worn on a person's head, electromagnetic energy sensors which collect data concerning the person's electromagnetic brain activity, and a control unit. The electromagnetic energy sensors can be electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes. In an example, the frame can be circular. In an example, the frame can loop around the person's head from one ear to the other ear. In an example, the frame can be an eyewear frame which also includes light-transmitting optical members.

Abstract: Head cooling aid device comprises a strip of flexible material having a series of laterally spaced air flow passageways extending completely through the width of the strip for allowing air to flow through the passageways. At the approximate center of the length of the device is an inwardly facing recess or cavity that substantially spans the space between the wearer's eyes to avoid the pinching-off of blood flow to the wearer's head in this region caused by tight cap headbands resulting in poor blood circulation in this region that may cause over-heating of the head and/or excess sweating. The device can either be attached to an inner surface of a front portion of a cap headband or be made an integral part of the front portion of the cap headband to promote air flow into the cap through the passageways and out through top vents in the cap when worn to contribute to cooling of the top of the wearer's head.

Abstract: The invention is an article of headwear that incorporates an adjustment system for accommodating individuals with various head dimensions. The headwear may be formed of a crown and a visor. With respect to the crown, the adjustment system includes a first elastic material, which forms a majority of the crown, and a second elastic material, which is screenprinted or otherwise attached to a flap positioned within the crown. Regarding the visor, the adjustment system resides in a visor board configuration wherein slits are formed to separate various portions of the visor board. The slits permit the portions to move relative to each other, thereby permitting the visor to expand to accommodate stretching of the crown.

Abstract: A plastics molding includes an elongate flexible strip 3 and a plurality of substantially flat wall sections 5 disposed in an end-to-end, mutually spaced relationship, lying substantially on a smooth curve which meets the strip at opposite ends. The wall sections 5 are connected to the flexible strip at their opposite ends by means of webs 8, 9 such as to form trapezoidal ventilation passages 10 between the wall sections and the flexible strip. The webs may contain ventilation apertures. In different embodiments the molding may be curved such that the flexible wall lies on the inside or the outside. The inside wall is covered with a porous sweat band 12 and contains apertures 7 so that air flowing through the ventilation passages 10 keeps the sweat band dry by a wick effect. The outside wall is provided with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive for attaching the device to the inside of the headgear.
