Abstract: A single piece of collar support strap to package collar portion of a shirt is described. Shirt collars are traditionally packaged in a way to reflect the collar's positioning and shape in actual use. Conventional methods employ multiple pieces of support items placed in different locations. A collar support strap provides the positioning of the collar in a packaged shirt not only through a single piece item, but also provides ease of packaging by avoiding multiple steps of operations to package the shirt. The collar support strap enables adjustment to varying collar sizes, anchoring to the collar button, and accommodation of the different collar types.

Abstract: A protective component for a helmet includes a liner or shell that is coupleable with the helmet so that the liner or shell is positioned on an interior surface of the helmet. The liner or shell is made of a low-friction material and is coupled with the helmet so that the liner or shell is moveable relative to the helmet in response to a force being exerted on the helmet. A rear support member is removably coupled with the liner or shell and a tightening mechanism is attached to the rear support member. The tightening mechanism is configured to tension a tension member and thereby tighten the liner or shell, and the helmet, about the wearer's head.

Abstract: Caps that are capable of being converted into protective face masks are provided. A cap can include a crown that can be placed over the face and that can be at least partially disconnected to provide a viewing aperture, and overlapping layers that cover the mouth and nose.

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: A glove application system includes a glove application module providing a housing that defines an install cavity and an access aperture providing access into the install cavity, a pressure system that generates negative and positive pressures in the install cavity, and a glove cartridge assembly mounted to the housing and including a cartridge belt having a plurality of glove cartridges spaced along the cartridge belt, each glove cartridge having a glove releasably secured to the cartridge belt. The glove cartridge assembly is operable to advance the cartridge belt to sequentially align each glove cartridge with the access aperture. Negative pressure generated by the pressure system causes a glove aligned with the access aperture to inflate into the install cavity, and positive pressure generated by the pressure system causes the glove to seat against a hand extended into the glove through the access aperture.
