Abstract: An apparatus includes an arcuate headband with a continuous band having left and right side portions joining at an apex. The left and right side portions terminate in respective arcuate ends. A head rest band spans between the side portions and is connected to the side portions below the apex and spaced from the apex. Left and right ear cups that define respective centers and respective peripheries are respectively attached to the arcuate ends of the left and right side portions. The arcuate ends of the left and right side portions are juxtaposed with the respective peripheries and are distanced from the respective centers of the respective ear cups. The left and right ear cups are cambered inward from front to back and each include an element that couples a respective arcuate end segment to a hinge inside the respective ear cup.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device designed to permit various items to be hung on a vertical surface (e.g., the hanging of a picture or other piece of framed art or memorabilia on a wall), to a method of making such a device and to a method of using same. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a two piece device where a first body, or rail, piece and a second body, or rail, piece each engage one of either the object, regardless of whether or not such object is framed or unframed, to be hung or the wall on which the object to be hung is to be placed, wherein the first piece and the second piece are formed so as to engage one another thereby resulting in the hanging of the object on a desired place on a wall. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a two piece wall hanging device that permits the level hanging of an object on a wall regardless of whether or not each of the two pieces of the device are attached in a level manner to each of the wall and the object to be hung.
