INTEGRATED REVERSIBLE CAP

Abstract

A reversible hat is converted between at least two visible designs within a substantially integrated unit. For example, the reversible hat can be converted between a blaze orange material and a camouflage material. In one embodiment, a first design is visible on the exterior surface of a first crown. The reversible hat is converted to show a second visible design by folding the exterior surface of a portion of a first crown onto the exterior surface of another portion of the first crown, thereby hiding the first visible design. The folding portion of the first crown is connected to a folding portion of a second crown. Thus, folding a portion of the first crown thereby unfolds a portion of the second crown. Folding the exterior surface of a portion of a second crown onto the exterior surface of another portion of the second crown reveals the first visible design again.

Description

BACKGROUND

Adjustable and convertible hats are known. However, known hats do not quickly and easily convert between a first visible display and a second visible display.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A reversible hat 10 is provided in FIGS. 1-4. In one embodiment, reversible hat 10 can be converted between at least two different visible designs or patterns within a substantially integrated unit. For example, reversible hat 10 can be converted between a blaze orange hunter safety material and a camouflage material; however any suitable patterns can be interchanged with the blaze orange and camouflage material (e.g., a favorite baseball team and a favorite basketball team). In one embodiment, a first design is visible on the exterior surface of reversible hat 10. In one embodiment, reversible hat 10 can be converted by folding the exterior surface of a portion of a first crown onto the exterior surface of another portion of the first crown, thereby hiding a first visible design. While the first design is visible, a second design on the second crown is substantially obscured or hidden from view because the second crown is folded underneath the first crown. In one embodiment, the second design on the outer surface of reversible hat 10 is made visible by unfolding the second design on the second crown. In one embodiment, while the second design is visible (e.g., the second crown is unfolded), the first design on the first crown is folded and substantially obscured or hidden from view underneath the second design. Thus, it should be appreciated that in one embodiment, a reversible hat can be converted between at least two different designs or patterns by folding a second crown underneath a first crown to reveal a first design, and folding the first crown underneath the second crown to reveal a second design.

Referring now to FIG. 1, in one embodiment reversible hat 10 includes first crown 100 and second crown 110 for covering at least part of a wearer's head. In one embodiment, crowns 100 and 110 each include an exterior surface and an interior surface. In one embodiment, crowns 100 and 110 are formed from a first material into the shape of a crown or dome to conform to the average shape of a wearer's head. However, it should be appreciated, that in one embodiment, crowns 100 and 110 can be formed into any suitable shape such as a square, rectangle, or triangle as the design requires.

In one embodiment, crowns 100 and 110 are formed from at least one material such as polyester; however, it should be appreciated that any suitable material can be used for crowns 100 and 110 (e.g., cotton, rayon, nylon, PTFE). It should also be appreciated that in one embodiment, any two or more materials can be combined to form the material for crowns 100 and 110. In one embodiment for example, polyester is blended with an elastomeric material to give crowns 100 and 110 the flexibility to better conform to a wearer's head. In another embodiment, polyester (or any suitable material) is coated with a hydrophobic coating (e.g., silicon or other suitable material like a fluoropolymer treatment) and sandwiched together with PTFE to create a highly waterproof and breathable material for crowns 100 and 110. In one embodiment, crowns 100 and 110 are each constructed from a single piece of the selected material or material combination. However, in another embodiment, crowns 100 and 110 can each be constructed from two or more pieces of the same or different material to achieve any desired shape. Furthermore, in one embodiment, where reversible hat 10 includes at least one seam, the seams can be welded or taped with a waterproof tape to further increase wind and water resistance.

In one embodiment, crowns 100 and 110 each includes at least one design formed on their exterior surfaces. In one embodiment, the design is a camouflage pattern (e.g., a pattern suitable for hunting). However, it should be appreciated that the design could include any suitable design such as a sports team logo, floral prints, or no design at all (e.g., a solid color). In one embodiment, crown 100 and crown 110 each have different related designs (e.g., crown 110 includes a solid blaze orange design while crown 100 includes a camouflage design). In one embodiment, the designs are formed on the exterior surfaces by printing the designs on the material or combination of materials that form each of the crowns 100 and 110. However, designs can be formed on the exterior surfaces of crowns 100 and 110 in any suitable manner (e.g., by embroidering, weaving).

In one embodiment, first crown 100 is divided into fixed portion 100a and movable portion 100b. In one embodiment, wherein the first crown is formed in a dome shape, the movable portion 100b and fixed portion 100a are divided by diameter 120 (e.g., the portions are evenly divided with 50% apportioned to the fixed portion and 50% apportioned to the movable portion). However, in one embodiment, the apportionment can be divided in any suitable manner. In an alternative embodiment, wherein first crown 100 is formed in a shape other than a dome, the dividing line between movable portion 100b and fixed portion 100a can be any suitable line (e.g., apportioning the movable portion and the fixed portion in any suitable proportion to each other). Thus, in one embodiment, the fixed portion can be a larger portion of the first crown while the movable portion is a smaller portion of the first crown and vise versa. In one alternative embodiment, first crown 100 includes a plurality of movable portions. For example, fixed portion 100a can be flanked by two or more movable portions. That is, in one embodiment, fixed portion 100a can have a movable portion in the front, a movable portion in the back, and movable portions on the right and left sides. However, any suitable number of movable portions can be used and situated in any suitable position in relation to fixed portion 100a.

In one embodiment, movable portion 100b of first crown 100 is capable of folding along dividing line 120 (e.g., the diameter) and at least partially onto fixed portion 100a of first crown 100. When movable portion 100b of first crown 100 is folded over fixed portion 100a of first crown 100, at least part of the exterior surface of movable portion 100b is in communication with the exterior surface of fixed portion 100a. That is, the exterior surfaces of movable portion 100b of first crown 100 and fixed portion 100a of first crown 100 are substantially hidden or obscured from view. On the other hand, first crown 100 can be unfolded such that first crown 100 is fully extended, thus the exterior surface of first crown 100 (hence the design on the exterior surface) is substantially visible, as illustrated in FIG. 1. In one embodiment of first crown 100 including multiple movable portions, each movable portion can substantially hide or obscure from view the same exterior surface with a unified design. However, in one embodiment including multiple movable portions, one or more movable portions can substantially hide or obscure from view an exterior surface with a plurality of different designs. In one embodiment, a first set of movable portions can act together to hide or reveal a first design, while a second set of movable portions can act together to hide or reveal a second design. However, it should be appreciated that any suitable number of movable portions on first crown 100 can act together to substantially hide or reveal any suitable number of different designs.

Similar to first crown 100, in one embodiment, second crown 110 is divided into fixed portion 110a and movable portion 110b as illustrated in FIG. 3. In one embodiment, wherein second crown 110 is formed in a dome shape, movable portion 110b and fixed portion 110a are also divided by diameter 120 (e.g., the portions are evenly divided with 50% apportioned to the fixed portion and 50% apportioned to the movable portion). However in one embodiment, the apportionment can be divided in any suitable manner. In an alternative embodiment, wherein second crown 110 is formed in a shape other than a dome, the dividing line between movable portion 110b and fixed portion 110a can be any suitable line (e.g., apportioning the movable portion and the fixed portion in any suitable proportion to each other). Thus, in one embodiment, fixed portion 110a can be a larger portion of second crown 110 while movable portion 110b is a smaller portion of second crown 110 and vise versa. In one alternative embodiment, second crown 110 includes a plurality of movable portions. For example, fixed portion 110a can be flanked by two or more movable portions. That is, in one embodiment, fixed portion 110a can have a movable portion in the front, a movable portion in the back, and movable portions on the right and left sides. However, any suitable number of movable portions can be used and situated in any suitable position in relation to fixed portion 110a.

In one embodiment, movable portion 110b of second crown 110 is capable of folding along dividing line 120 (e.g., the diameter) and at least partially onto fixed portion 110a of second crown 110 (e.g., as is illustrated in FIG. 1). When movable portion 110b of second crown 110 is folded over fixed portion 110a of first crown 110, at least part of the exterior surface of movable portion 110b is in communication with the exterior surface of fixed portion 110a. That is, the exterior surfaces of movable portion 110b of second crown 110 and fixed portion 110a of second crown 110 are at least partially hidden or obscured from view; however, it should be appreciated that in one embodiment, second crown 110 can be substantially hidden from view underneath first crown 100 (e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 1). On the other hand, second crown 110 can be unfolded such that second crown 110 is fully extended, thus the exterior surface of second crown 110 is substantially visible. In one embodiment of second crown 110 including multiple movable portions, each movable portion can substantially hide or obscure from view the same exterior surface with a unified design. However, in one embodiment including multiple movable portions, one or more movable portions can substantially hide or obscure from view an exterior surface with a plurality of different designs. In one embodiment, a first set of movable portions can act together to hide or reveal a first design, while a second set of movable portions can act together to hide or reveal a second design. However, it should be appreciated that any suitable number of movable portions on second crown 110 can act together to substantially hide or reveal any suitable number of different designs.

Referring back to FIG. 1, in one embodiment, first crown 100 and second crown 110 are attached to form reversible hat 10. In this embodiment, the interior surface of at least one movable portion 100b of first crown 100 and the interior surface of at least one movable portion 110b of second crown 110 are placed in at least partial communication with each other and attached together. In one embodiment, the interior surface of movable portion 100b of first crown 100 and the interior surface of movable portion 110b of second crown 110 are attached through at least part of the centers of both crowns (e.g., diameter 120); however it should be appreciated that the point of attachment can also be any suitable point based on the division between the movable and fixed portions of each of crowns 100 and 110. In one embodiment, the interior surface of movable portion 100b of first crown 100 and the interior surface of movable portion 110b of second crown 110 are also attached through at least part of the circumference 130 of movable portion 100b and 110b of each crown (e.g., portions of the circumferences that are in communication). In one embodiment, movable portion 100b of first crown 100 and moveable portion 110b of second crown 110 are attached by sewing the two movable portions together through the diameter and circumferences as described above; however, it should be appreciated that movable portion 100b of first crown 100 and moveable portion 110b of second crown 110 can be attached in any suitable manner (e.g., by hook and loop strips, glue, buttons, snaps). Thus, it should be appreciated that in one embodiment, movable portion 100b of first crown 100 and moveable portion 110b of second crown 110 are movable in unison once attached together.

In one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the exterior surface of first crown 100 includes a plurality of points of attachment 140a-140i. In one embodiment, points of attachment 140a-140e are strips of hooks while points of attachment 140f-140i are strips of loops for a hook and loop attachment. It should be appreciated, that in one embodiment, the exterior surface of first crown 100 can include any suitable number of points of attachment. It should also be appreciated, that in one embodiment, first crown 100 can be configured without any points of attachment. In one embodiment, the points of attachment are either a strip of hooks or loops for a hook and loop attachment. However, the points of attachment can be any suitable attachment (e.g., buttons, snap enclosures, magnets). In one embodiment including more than one point of attachment, the exterior surface of first crown 100 can include any suitable combination of different types of attachments.

In one embodiment, reversible hat 10 includes front brim 150. Front brim 150 includes at least two surfaces. In one embodiment, front brim 150 is rotatably attached to at least part of the circumference of second crown 110. In one embodiment, front brim 150 is also in removable communication with either movable portion 100b of first crown 100 or fixed portion 110a of second crown 110. As is illustrated in FIG. 1, front brim 150 is rotated in an up position and is in communication with movable portion 100b of first crown 100. In one embodiment, front brim 150 is removably attached through at least one point of attachment to movable portion 100b of first crown 100 if movable portion 100b is covering fixed portion 110a of second crown 110. However, if movable portion 100b of first crown 100 is not covering fixed portion 110a of second crown 110, then front brim 150 is removably attached through at least one point of attachment to fixed portion 110a of second crown 110. In one embodiment, as described above in connection with first crown 100, the attachment can incorporate any suitable attachment such as hook or loop strips. As illustrated in FIG. 1, at least one point of attachment of front brim 150 is attached to point of attachment 140c on movable portion 100b of first crown 100. In one embodiment, front brim 150 is formed at least in part from any suitable material as described above with respect to crowns 100 and 110. In one alternative embodiment, front brim 150 can also include one or more additional materials such as fur on at least one of the surfaces such that front brim 150 is lined with fur.

In one embodiment, reversible hat 10 includes annular flap 160. In one embodiment, annular flap 160 includes at least two surfaces and can be formed at least in part from any suitable material as described above with respect to crowns 100 and 110. In one alternative embodiment, annular flap 160 can also include one or more additional materials such as fur on at least one of the surfaces such that annular flap 160 is lined with fur. In one embodiment, annular flap 160 can extend below a wearer's neck to at least partially or substantially cover exposed portions of a wearer's neck. In another embodiment, annular flap 160 can also extend below a wearer's ears to at least partially or substantially cover exposed portions of a wearer's ears. In one embodiment annular flap 160 is rotatably attached to at least part of the circumference of fixed portion 100a of first crown 100 and to at least part of the circumference of fixed portion 110a of second crown 110. In one embodiment, annular flap 160 can be rotated in an up position. In this embodiment, annular flap 160 is in at least partial communication with one or both of the crowns. As illustrated in FIG. 1, annular flap 160 is located in the down position such that it would cover at least a portion of a wearer's ears and neck. However, it should be appreciated, that in one embodiment, reversible hat 10 may not include an annular flap.

In one embodiment, annular flap 160 further includes chin strap 170. In one embodiment, chin strap 170 includes at least two sections, wherein each section is attached to two sides of annular flap 160 (e.g., the areas near the portion of the annular flap that covers at least a portion of the ears). In one embodiment, the at least two sections of chin strap 170 are removably attached to each other (e.g., with buckles, snaps, hook and loop strips, buttons). Thus in one embodiment, chin strap 170 is configured to strap under a wearer's chin to maintain annular flap 160 in the down position and stay at least partially in communication with a wearer's face. In another embodiment, the at least two sections of chin strap 170 are connected over first crown 100 and second crown 110. Thus, in this embodiment, chin strap 170 maintains annular flap 160 in an up position with annular flap 160 in communication with at least a portion of either first crown 100 or second crown 110.

In one embodiment, reversible hat 10 includes an interior fixed crown. In one embodiment, the interior fixed crown is attached to fixed portion 100a of first crown 100 and also attached to fixed portion 110a of second crown 110. In one embodiment, the interior fixed crown may be formed from material that wicks moisture, dries rapidly, or has a soft nap for increased comfort to a wearer; however, it should be appreciated that the interior fixed crown can be formed from any suitable material as discussed above with respect to first crown 100 and second crown 110. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the material for first crown 100 and second crown 110 can also include materials described for the interior fixed crown. In one embodiment, the three crowns are sewn together around at least part of the circumferences of each crown; however, it should be appreciated that the three crowns can be attached in any suitable manner. In one embodiment, a cavity is maintained between the interior fixed crown and first crown 100 and second crown 110 to provide an air insulation space. In another embodiment, the air space can be further supplemented with any suitable insulation material (e.g., down or synthetic fibers). In an alternative embodiment, first crown 100 and second crown 110 are configured with insulation or an additional cavity to trap air. Thus, in one embodiment, reversible hat 10 may not include an interior fixed crown.

Referring now to FIG. 2, one embodiment of reversible hat 10 is illustrated changing from a first substantially visible surface to a second substantially visible surface (e.g., changing from a first design to a second design). In one embodiment, first crown 100 was initially visible, while second crown 110 was folded underneath first crown 100. In one embodiment, to make second crown 110 substantially visible, attachment point 172 on front brim 150 is detached from attachment point 140c on movable portion 100b ; however, it should be appreciated that in one embodiment, reversible hat 10 does not include a front brim. Front brim 150 is rotated into the down position, out of the way of movable portion 100b. Movable portion 100b is detached from fixed portion 110a by separating a plurality of attachment points located on the exterior surface of movable portion 110b that align with attachment points 180a-180d on fixed portion 110a. Movable portion 100b is then pulled up and rotated towards fixed portion 100a; however it should be appreciated that in one embodiment, reversible hat 10 does not include attachment points. Therefore, in one embodiment, no parts are disconnected.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, in one embodiment, movable portion 100b is rotated further towards fixed portion 100a, thus revealing more of fixed portion 110a of second crown 110. At one point while movable portion 100b is rotated towards fixed portion 100a, movable portion 100b is flipped inside out to reveal the exterior surface of movable portion 110b. The exterior surface of movable portion 110b also reveals points of attachment 190a-190d that align with and removably attach to points of attachment 180a-180d. The exterior surface of movable portion 100b is then at least partially concealed under the exterior surface of movable portion 110b. Therefore, points of attachment 140a-140e are also concealed when the exterior surface of movable portion 100b is concealed. After movable portion 100b is rotated away from fixed portion 110a, front brim 150 can be rotated in the up position in communication with fixed portion 110a. However, it should be appreciated, that front brim 150 can be rotated to the up position at any suitable time or left in the down position. In one embodiment, point of attachment 172 on front brim 150 aligns with and attaches to point of attachment 180c on fixed portion 110a.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, in one embodiment, reversible hat 10 substantially reveals the exterior surface of second crown 110. In this embodiment, movable portion 100b was substantially rotated towards fixed portion 100a and substantially concealed underneath movable portion 110b; however it should be appreciated that in one embodiment, movable portion 100b and fixed portion 100a may not be substantially concealed. In one embodiment, when movable potion 100b is folded along dividing line 120 and in communication with fixed portion 100a, points of attachment 140a, 140b, 140d, and 140e align with and attach to points of attachment 140f-140i. Thus, it should be appreciated that in one embodiment, reversible hat 10 reveals at least one additional design on the exterior surface of second crown 110.

It should be understood that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments described herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present subject matter and without diminishing its intended advantages. It is therefore intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.

providing a reversible crown having a first visible surface and a second visible surface, wherein the reversible crown includes a first crown and a second crown that are attached through diameters of both crowns and through at least part of the circumference of both crowns such that a bottom surface of the first crown and a bottom surface of the second crown are in at least partial communication;

enabling the reversible crown to reveal a first visible surface by folding at least part of the second crown such that at least part of an outer surface of at least one movable portion of the second crown is in communication with at least part of an outer surface of a fixed portion of the second crown, whereby an outer surface of the first crown is unfolded and at least partially visible and the outer surface of the second crown is at least partially hidden;

enabling the reversible crown to form a second visible surface by folding at least part of the first crown such that at least part of the outer surface of at least one movable portion of the first crown is in communication with at least part of the outer surface of a fixed portion of the first crown, whereby the outer surface of the second crown is unfolded and at least partially visible and the outer surface of the first crown is at least partially hidden.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising disengaging at least one point of attachment between the outer surface of the at least one movable portion of the second crown and the outer surface of the fixed portion of the second crown before forming the second position and disengaging at least one point of attachment between the outer surface of the at least one movable portion of the first crown and the outer surface of the fixed portion of the first crown before forming the first position.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising disengaging at least one point of attachment between a front brim and the outer surface of the fixed portion of the first crown before forming the second position from the first position, wherein the front brim is pivotally attached to the front of the reversible crown.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising disengaging at least one point of attachment between the front brim and the outer surface of the at least one movable portion of the second crown before forming the first position from the second position.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein revealing the second visible surface at least partially reveals a design on the outer surface of the second crown.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the revealed design is different then a second design on the outer surface of the first crown.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the revealed design is camouflage.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein revealing the first visible surface at least partially reveals a design on the outer surface of the first crown.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the revealed design is different then a second design on the outer surface of the second crown.
