Abstract: Bib specifically adapted to be worn while an operator is controlling a vehicle. The device defines particular application while a user is eating and/or drinking while operating a vehicle. In its broadest context, the device includes a sheet of material having a first and a second end and an intermediate extent therebetween, wherein the intermediate extent is of a greater width than the first and second ends. Furthermore, a first steering column ring is adapted to be secured to the first end of the sheet while a neck ring is adapted to be secured adjacent the second end of the sheet. Thus, in operation, the user affixes the neck ring about the neck and the steering column ring about the steering column of a vehicle and thus employs the sheet as a bib.

Abstract: A garment formed essentially as a sack, the infant's feet occupying a common compartment, the garment having closures located along the top or shoulder portions of the garment and down the front of the garment, the closures comprising a series of intermittently spaced detachably fastenable closure means. The garment is further formed so as to have an aperture for the neck and apertures for the arms and/or hands. The garment may be formed by sewing to a back panel, right and left front panels along the outside edges corresponding to the underarms, the sides and foot of the garment. Alternatively, the garment may be formed by knitting or weaving a sack having an essentially T-shaped configuration. In the preferred embodiment, the series of intermittently spaced detachably fastenable closure means comprise hook and loop closure means.

Abstract: A stocking cap includes a tail adapted for encircling the neck and then being attached near the distal end thereof to the side of the cap so as to serve as a scarf. Included in the tail is a slot body containing a slot, and then a cord, so that by passing a length of cord through the slot there is formed a loop that can be placed around a button on the side of the cap. By such means, a tassel or the like disposed at the end of the cord can be made to fit snugly against the head. Additional embodiments are formed by variations in the width of the tail, a first variation being initially wide, then narrow, and then wide so as to cover one ear region, the neck and chin, and then the second ear region, and a second variation being wider near the center and having an elongate slit therein for the mouth so as to provide a ski mask.

Abstract: A hat or collar uses a tubular sleeve of an oval annular configuration. The sleeve is composed of a flexible fabric having sufficient body and firmness to retain full malleable wire capable of being deformed by hand and is placed within the sleeve. The wire is of such length and general configuration as to fit within, conform to and generally define an outer periphery of the annular configuration of the sleeve throughout most of the length of that periphery. It preferably is stitched in position so that it can slip somewhat relative to the fabric as the malleable wire is deformed by hand. Forming the wire by hand changes the shape and appearance of the hat such that it retains such changed shape until again deformed by hand. The elastic connector attached to each of the respective ends of the tubular sleeve elastically interconnects those ends so that sufficient stretch is provided that the inner periphery of the annulus can serve as a hat band adjusting to the wearer's head size.

Abstract: A signalling device is installed in headwear, such as an athletic helmet, and includes sensing devices for detecting linearly and rotationally directed impacts above a selected magnitude.
