The embodiments are described below so as to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.

FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view illustrating a headwear according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view illustrating the headwear according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which some part of a size adjustment part is unfolded; and FIG. 3 is a lower view illustrating the headwear according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a headwear with a receiving part for a portable audio device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a crown part 1 which is a body of the headwear, a visor part 2 attached to lower front part of the crown part 1, a head band part 13 attached to lower inner peripheral part of the crown part 1 and a size adjustment part 4 attached to a lower rear part of the crown part 1. A pouch type portable audio device receiving part 3 for receiving a portable audio device 7 is provided at a side surface of the crown part 1. The size adjustment part 4 has an outer Velcro fastener 12a and an inner Velcro fastener 12b. An earphone holder 10 for receiving an earphone cord connected with the portable audio device is placed at an inside of the outer Velcro fastener 12a. The portable audio device receiving part 3 has a shape of the pouch having a size capable of receiving the portable audio device 7. An inlet 8 for inserting the portable audio device 7 into the portable audio device receiving part 3 therethrough is provided at a front surface of the portable audio device receiving part 3 and an outlet 9 for connecting an earphone plug 5 with the portable audio device 7 therethrough is provided at a rear surface of the portable audio device receiving part 3. The inlet 8 and outlet 9 of the receiving part 3 have such sizes that the portable audio device does not easily get out of the audio device receiving part 3. The portable audio device receiving part 3 is made of flexible of non-flexible woven or knit fabric. A printing 5 of a control part of the portable audio device 3 is provided at an outside of the portable audio device receiving part 3 and an electromagnetic shielding fabric 14 is additionally attached to an inside of the crown part 1 corresponding to the position where the portable audio device receiving part 3 is placed. A user may insert the portable audio device 7 such as an MP3 player into the portable audio device receiving part 3 of the headwear according to the present invention through the inlet 8 of the portable audio device receiving part 3. A jack of the portable audio device 7 for connecting the portable audio device 7 with the earphone cord gets out of the outlet of the portable audio device receiving part 3. After that, the earphone plug 5 is inserted into the jack. The earphone cord 6 is wound onto the earphone holder 10 placed within the outer Velcro fastener after the folded outer Velcro fastener of the size adjustment part 4 is unfolded. The earphone holder 10 is made of soft or hard material and has two hook-shaped portions at both sides thereof, which are curved toward outside respectively so as to wind the earphone cord 6 thereon. Therefore, the earphone cord 6 is wound several times onto the earphone holder 10 and then the Velcro fastener is folded to attach a Velcro tape 16 placed at an outside of the earphone holder 10 and a Velcro tape 11 placed at an outside of the size adjustment part 4 to each other. After that, both ends of the earphone are inserted into ears of the user. As the result, the user can listen conveniently to music in normal time. Also, proper arrangement removes inconvenience in user's activity due to the earphone cord and the electromagnetic shielding fabric prevents the user from being influenced by electromagnetic wave generatable from the portable audio device.

FIG. 4 is a rear perspective view illustrating a headwear according to another embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 5 is a rear perspective view illustrating the headwear according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which some part of a size adjustment part is unfolded; and FIG. 6 is a lower view illustrating the headwear according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, a headwear with a receiving part for a portable audio device according to another embodiment of the present invention includes, like the aforementioned embodiment, a crown part 17 which is a body of the headwear, a visor part 18 attached to lower front part of the crown part 17, a head band part 33 attached to lower inner peripheral part of the crown part 17 and a size adjustment part 20 attached to a lower rear part of the crown part 17. A pouch type portable audio device receiving part 19 for receiving a portable audio device 22 is provided at a side surface of the crown part 17. The size adjustment part 20 has an outer Velcro fastener 30a and an inner Velcro fastener 30b. An earphone receiving part 27 for receiving an earphone cord 25 connected with the portable audio device 22 is placed at an inside of the outer Velcro fastener 30a. The portable audio device receiving part 19 has a pocket for receiving the portable 22 and a tightening band 23 for fixing the portable audio device 22 to prevent it from getting out of the pocket, and the pocket is provided thereon with a Velcro tape 26 to attach an end portion of the tightening band 23 and pocket to each other. The portable audio device receiving part 19 has an inlet opened in a rounded circular shape and thus some part of the portable audio device 22 can be seen from the outside after the portable audio device 22 is inserted into the pocket. An earphone plug 24 is inserted into an earphone jack placed at an upper end portion of the portable audio device 22 and the earphone cord 25 is wound onto an earphone earphone holder 27 placed within the outer Velcro fastener 30a of the size adjustment part 20. The earphone holder 27 is made of soft or hard material and has two hook-shaped portions at both sides thereof, which are curved toward outside respectively so as to wind the earphone cord 25 thereon. Therefore, the earphone cord 25 is wound several times onto the earphone holder 27 and then the Velcro fastener is folded to attach a Velcro tape 28 placed at an outside of the earphone holder 27 and a Velcro tape 29 placed at an outside of the size adjustment part 20 to each other. Therefore, some part of the earphone cord 25 can be safely held in the earphone holder 27 at an inside of the size adjustment part 20. In order to prevent an electromagnetic wave, an electromagnetic shielding fabric 19 is additionally attached to an inside of the crown part 17 corresponding to the position where the portable audio device receiving part 3 is placed. Likewise an embodiment of the present invention, in another embodiment, the user can listen conveniently to music in normal time. Also, proper arrangement removes inconvenience in user's activity due to the earphone cord and the electromagnetic shielding fabric prevents the user from being influenced by electromagnetic wave generatable from the portable audio device.

As described above, a headwear with a receiving part for a portable audio device according to the present invention includes a crown part which is a body of the headwear, a visor part attached to lower front part of the crown part, a head band part attached to lower inner peripheral part of the crown part and a size adjustment part attached to a lower rear part of the crown part, and is characterized in that A portable audio device receiving part for receiving a portable audio device is provided at a side surface of the crown part 17 and an earphone holder for holding an earphone cord connected with the portable audio device is provided at the size adjustment part. Therefore, it is very easy for users to carry a portable audio device since the portable audio device can be received in a headwear and an earphone cord can be arranged so as to be convenient in user's activity and the users are not influenced from electromagnetic wave generatable from the portable audio device since an electromagnetic shielding fabric is used.
