A toteable or wearable fashion item configured to provide an electronic charge to a mobile electronic device. The item includes a battery including a battery housing enclosing at least one battery cell and at least one electronic connection port in communication with the battery cell. The battery is secured relative to the fashion item within a concealing enclosure which defines at least one connection port opening which facilitates access to the at least one electronic connection port. The battery is substantially concealed except through the at least one connection port opening.

A garment or article of clothing made of a resilient/elastomeric material includes at least a waist portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waist portion further includes a pocket on the rear of the garment, where the pocket is defined by a backing panel, a first flap, and a second flap. The first flap is at least partially disposed over the second flap to secure contents between the backing panel and the second panel, and thus, within the pocket. When the waist portion is stretched, the tensile forces imparted onto the waist portion by the resilient/elastomeric material causes the first flap to at least partially overlie the second flap. The pocket is sized and shaped to receive smartphones and other small personal items, such as keys, money, credit cards, identifications, etc.

A lighting unit is removably inserted into a pocket to create a light effect through use of a light effect material. The lighting unit has a PCB with a first side to which one or more LEDs and a battery are mounted. A clear potting material encloses the PCB, LEDs, and the battery and creates a transparent space proximate an inner surface of the light effect material which maintains the light effect material at a preselected distance from the LEDs so that light emitted from each light emitting die is dispersed by a plurality of dispersive elements in the light effect materials to create the light material viewing effect.

A convertible garment, such as a jacket, tunic, sweater or vest, capable of being folded and converted into a carry-on bag and adapted for carrying articles normally carried in a handbag, briefcase, carry-on bag or suitcase, with pockets on the outside and in the lining portion of the garment, arranged so that the garment is not distorted by items carried within said pockets. The garment also has a back panel accessible from inside of the garment for carrying articles such as socks, underwear, shirts and trousers, with special compartments for such clothes. Zippers and hook and loop fasteners are used as closures for some of the pockets. A method for folding the garment and converting it into a conventional carry-on bag is also disclosed.

Provided is a portable charging apparatus including: a housing case having a battery embedded therein; a battery charging connector pivotably accommodated in one side surface of the housing case, connected to an external power supply unit; a battery discharging connector accommodated in and detached from one side surface of the housing case, connected to the portable electronic device and allowing the portable electronic device; a connection cable accommodated in and detached from one side surface of the housing case, connecting the housing case and the battery discharging connector with a predetermined length and allowing the battery discharging connector to be connected to the portable electronic device; a front panel combined with a front surface of the housing case and protecting the housing case; and a rear panel combined with a rear surface of the housing case, protecting the housing case.

A wearable device includes a sensor device and a clothes to which the sensor device is attached. The clothes includes a clothes body and an insertion and extraction portion that has an opening formed in the clothes body and enables the sensor device to be inserted into or extracted from the clothes body. The sensor device includes a humidity sensor configured to measure humidity in the clothes body and a housing having a first region exposed to an inside of the clothes body and a second region exposed to an outside of the clothes body, while the sensor device is inserted from the insertion and extraction portion into the clothes body. The humidity sensor is accommodated in the first region of the housing.

Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable biomechanics units and or resistance modules. The garment may provide resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and or tracks a variety of biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and power expended by the wearer. The garment may be low profile, and worn by a wearer as a primary garment or beneath or over conventional clothing or athletic uniform. The device may be worn as a supplemental training and or diagnostic tool during conventional training protocols, or as a biomechanics or biometric data capture device during competition.

A wearable power source system is provided. The wearable power source system embodies a wearable power assembly having a wearable adapted to retain a power source, and a tool adapted to be powered by the retained power source. An electrical connection may connect the tool to the power source. A user may don the wearable power assembly, whereby a tool's power source is worn by its user, making handling the tool less of a burden. Clothing relative to the wearable power source system will be designed and become part of the user. Slacks, jackets, vest, apron, wristband, belt, hat jewelry, belly/fanny pack, and other such clothing/personal embodiment items will be designed to become part of the person and the wearable power source system.

A method and device for guiding a runner along a predetermined running path including the steps: a) Determining the actual position of the runner by a GPS module; b) Assigning the actual position of the runner to a position along the predetermined path; c) Determining if the runner has to continue the predetermined path c1) straight ahead, or c2) by turning to the left or c3) by turning to the right; d) Controlling at least two light emitting elements arranged at or in a garment worn by the runner, wherein at least one left light emitting element is located in a left hand region of the garment and at least one right light emitting element is located in a right hand region of the garment, wherein d1) no activation of the light emitting elements is carried out in above case c1), d2) at least one left light emitting element is activated in above case c2), and d3) at least one right light emitting element is activated in above case c3).

A garment that shields a wearer from electromagnetic radiation may generally have a length of fabric forming the garment. The wearable garment may be virtually any garment such as a brassiere, camisole, shirt, pants, leggings, head wear, footwear, and the like. The garment is preferably made of at least a first fabric and a second fabric, where the first fabric is a non-metallized fabric and the second fabric being a metallized fabric. The metallized fabric, in some embodiments, is a metal plated fabric having one or more electrically conductive metals disposed thereon. The metallized fabric is used to form at least one pocket of the garment. Electronics and other devices can be placed and stored in the metallized pocket thereby shielding the wearer from electromagnetic radiation emitted by the electronic or similarly situated device.
