Michael Proctor - Provo UT, US

International Classification:

A42B 1/04

US Classification:

002171000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to modular electrical headwear systems for use in charging electrical devices and operating electrical devices on an article of headwear. One embodiment includes utilizing a photovoltaic cell on the visor of a hat to generate solar electricity. A battery is disposed on the backstrap of the hat for storing solar electricity and providing existing electricity to a variety of electrical devices. Various chargers, lights, fans, motorized objects, etc may be located on an article of headwear and utilize some form of electrical current for operation. An electrical charger may used to charge a user's cell phone while they wear the article of headwear. Various electrical components may be releasably secured to an article of headwear to allow a user to interchange, upgrade, add, and remove components from a personalized electrical headwear system.

Inventors:

Michael K. Proctor - Midway UT

International Classification:

A42B 122

US Classification:

21952

Abstract:

A head wear system including a sizing band and a hat. The sizing band is distinct from the hat. The hat comprises a bill and a cap having an opening at the back as well as a headband. The head wear system also includes a first and second adjustment means for selectively nondestructively attaching each end of the sizing band to the hat in a longitudinal relationship therebetween selected by the wearer. When the sizing band is attached to the hat by the first and second adjusting means, the sizing band extends across the opening of the cap. The head wear system also comprises an ornament, a cover means for accessorizing the hat, and an attachment means for selectively nondestructively connecting the cover means and ornament to the crown of the cap. One embodiment of the sizing band functions as a skin stencil and comprises a substrate transparent to ultraviolet radiation and a design opaque to ultraviolet radiation that is attached to the substrate. When the substrate contacts the skin of a wearer the ultraviolet radiation causes the skin under the substrate to tan.
