HEADWEAR WITH INTEGRATED FACECOVER
A baseball cap is provided. The baseball cap has a face cover stored in a pocket in a stowed-away state. The pocket is along with periphery of the baseball cap. In a deployed state, the face cover can be pulled down by a user of the baseball hat to cover his face.
The present invention is a continuation in part application to Ser. No. 16/532,265 filed Aug. 5, 2019, which claims priority to U.S. provisional application 62/732,815 filed Sep. 18, 2018 herein incorporated in its entirety at least by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the InventionThe present invention generally relates to head-wear, specifically headwear with a readily deployable cover.
2. Description of Related ArtIn certain areas, people usually use face cover along with their head-wear. For example, people use mosquito nets along with their hats in certain areas such as forests.
In another example, people use a hat along and a facemask to protect against, insects, winter, and pollution. Typically, mosquito nets or any other type of face covers are oftentimes carried separately, resulting in the inconvenience of carrying these articles separately. Further, in some situations a face cover is useful in protections from viruses, such as COVID-19.
In light of the above mentioned drawbacks, there exists a need of integrating a headwear and a face cover.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe following presents a simplified summary of some embodiments of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some embodiments of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
A primary object of the disclosure is to provide a headwear with an integrated face cover.
Another object of the disclosure is to provide a headwear with an easily deployable face cover.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a baseball cap with a deployable mosquito net.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the more pertinent and important features of the present disclosure so that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood and so that the present contribution to the art can be more fully appreciated. Additional features of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and the disclosed specific methods and structures may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present disclosure. It should be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent structures do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent when the following detailed description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Reference will now be made in detail to selected embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with accompanying figures. The embodiments described herein are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, and the present disclosure should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described. This disclosure may be embodied in different forms without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying figure is intended and provided to illustrate embodiments of the disclosure described below and are not necessarily drawn to scale. In the drawing, like numbers refer to like elements throughout, and thicknesses and dimensions of some components may be exaggerated for providing better clarity and ease of understanding.
It should be noted that the terms “first”, “second”, and the like, herein do not denote any order, ranking, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another. Further, the terms “a” and “an” herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item.
Present disclosure provides several advantages over existing art. The headwear 100 having the storage compartment 305 at its inside surface. It allows folding and storing the deployable face cover 205 in the storage when not in use. Also there is no need to carry the deployable face cover 205 separately. In some embodiments, the deployable face cover is a face mask. Other embodiments, showing a face mask will be described below.
Referring now to
In some embodiments, a number of buttons 207 on the inside of the deployable mask 202 enable a replaceable filter 205 to be installed or removed. In alternative embodiments, the replaceable filter, or replaceable fabric may be installed inside a pocket provided on the inside of the mask. In some embodiments, an elastic band 203 with a fastener 206, such as hooks, is configured to secure the deployable mask to the user during use. For instance, the elastic band 203 may be connected and installed around the back of the user's neck or head area. In some embodiments, the elastic band 203 is adjustable. In other embodiments, the elastic band is fixed, and intended to fit most users. The elastic band may be attached to the sides of the mask, the front of the mask, center of the mask or any other location to secure the mask in position.
Now referring to
It should be understood that any material mentioned herein, may be exchanged, modified, interchanged, etc. to accommodate personal preferences, user sizes, material availability, and optimal characteristics for the claimed components.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail in language specific to structural features, it is to be understood that the invention defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features described. Rather, the specific features are disclosed as exemplary preferred forms of implementing the claimed invention. Stated otherwise, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein, as well as the abstract, are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. Therefore, while exemplary illustrative embodiments of the invention have been described, numerous variations and alternative embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art. Such variations and alternate embodiments are contemplated, and can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
It should further be noted that throughout the entire disclosure, the labels such as left, right, front, back, top, bottom, forward, reverse, clockwise, counter clockwise, up, down, or other similar terms such as upper, lower, aft, fore, vertical, horizontal, oblique, proximal, distal, parallel, perpendicular, transverse, longitudinal, etc. have been used for convenience purposes only and are not intended to imply any particular fixed direction or orientation. Instead, they are used to reflect relative locations and/or directions/orientations between various portions of an object.
In addition, reference to “first,” “second,” “third,” and etc. members throughout the disclosure (and in particular, claims) are not used to show a serial or numerical limitation but instead are used to distinguish or identify the various members of the group.
