It is common for the organizers of endurance sports to provide aid stations along the route where participants may receive water to prevent dehydration. To reduce waste at these events, organizers encourage cupless races that requiring participants to carry their own vessels. The present invention comprises a hat with a visor, such as a baseball style cap, with a collapsible drinking vessel integrated into the visor. During the course of the race, a runner may encounter a water stop and require a vessel to contain the liquid for immediate consumption. At such time the runner can simply remove their hat and configure the vessel to the open position to receive the liquid. Post-consumption the vessel is configured back to the closed position and becomes seamlessly integrated into the visor with no negative effects upon the runner.

The present invention discloses a cap with ears capable of jumping, which comprises a cap body, wherein two movable ears are provided at both sides of the upper end of the cap body, respectively, two decorative bands corresponding to the ears are provided at both sides of the lower end of the cap body, respectively, a jumping structure is provided in the cap body, the upper end of the jumping structure is fixedly connected at the joint of the ears and the cap body, the lower end is provided in the decorative bands movably, a pressure-applying airbag is provided at the lower end of the jumping structure, a pressure-bearing airbag is provided at the upper end thereof, and the pressure-applying airbag and the pressure-bearing airbag are connected through an air delivery pipe.

The present technology relates generally to headwear, and more particularly to, headwear (e.g., a hat) including a set of hair ports. One hat includes a first portion, a second portion, and a set of straps coupling the first portion and the second portion. Here, the set of straps, the first portion, and the second portion create a set of ports located at a rear portion of the hat that extends from a crown of the hat to a bottom of the hat. Further, at least one port in the set of ports includes a size that allows the hair of a person wearing the hat to be placed there through.

The present disclosure is directed to head ventilation devices and systems. A shell which may be worn as a hat includes a gap along at least a portion of a user's hatline defined by one or more spacer assemblies. An airflow assembly disposed at an upper end of the shell and spaced apart from the user's scalp causes airflow through the gap and an upper opening to ventilate a user's head. Additional protection features for sun shading, inclement weather, and/or safety may also be included.

Some forms relate to a stretchable computing display device. The stretchable computing display device includes a stretchable base; a patterned conductive section mounted on the stretchable base, wherein the patterned conductive section includes a first portion and a second portion that is electrically isolated from the first portion; an electroluminescent material mounted on the stretchable base such that the electroluminescent material is between the first portion and the second portion of the patterned conductive section; an encapsulant that covers at least a portion of the patterned conductive section; and a textile such that the stretchable base is mounted on the textile, wherein the textile is part of a garment.

An article of manufacture that is, in one embodiment, capable of storing and transporting a number of skullcaps in a manner to insure that the skullcaps supported thereby maintain their proper shapes.

A method for producing realistic, lightweight, scaled to size facsimiles of animal antlers, horns and other three-dimensional objects for costume headwear, and a system of interlocking components that provide interchangeability, adaptability and versatility in costume looks. Costume components contain LED lights and a sound sensor, providing environmentally responsive capabilities with programmed responses (e.g.: flashing light patterns) when activated (e.g.: in response to music or cheering in a stadium). The system includes an adaptor to retrofit hats, and a headband designed for pets.

A ballistic garment includes a fabric cap and a plurality of flexible ballistic panels. Each of the plurality of flexible ballistic panels has a bottom edge and an acutely pointed head that is spaced from the bottom head. The acutely pointed head of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic panels is positioned adjacent a top portion of the fabric cap. The bottom edge of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic panels positioned adjacent a bottom portion of the fabric cap.

An apparatus is presented for improving the noticeability of a hat. The apparatus includes a light source configured to produce light upon receiving electrical energy. The apparatus also includes a mount coupled to the light source and configured to selectively attach to and detach from the hat. The mount, when attached to the hat, orients the light source to project light onto an exterior surface of the hat. The apparatus additionally includes a battery receptacle electrically-coupled to the light source and having electrical contacts for coupling to one or more batteries. Hats having improved noticeability and methods for improving the noticeability of a hat are also presented.

The present disclosure relates generally to altering the cognitive load in an individual to affect the information and task processing of that individual. Specifically introducing movement in the peripheral visual field of the individual reduces the cognitive load, thereby allowing the user to be more efficient at the primary task or information processing. Included is a system comprising a support that is shaped to be positioned in front of a user and in the field of vision of the user. A central display screen is attached to the support and positioned proximate the central vision of the user. A computer readable memory medium is accessible by a processor and to instruct the central display screen to display both repetitive, non-biological movement and either information or an operating task on the central display screen.
