DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Having thus described the disclosure in general terms, reference will now be made to the accompanying figure, wherein:

[0011] FIG. 1 illustrates a headgear in a stowed-away state, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure;

[0012] FIG. 2 illustrates a top perspective view of a headwear in a deployed state, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure; and

[0013] FIG. 3 illustrates a cross section side view of the headwear, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0014] It should be noted that the accompanying figure are intended to present illustrations of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. This figure is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. It should also be noted that accompanying figure is not necessarily drawn to scale.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] 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.

[0016] 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.

[0017] FIG. 1 illustrates a headgear 100 in a stowed-away state, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The headgear 100 such as a baseball cap has a head cover 105. The head cover 105 sits on the head of a user of the headwear. The headgear 100 has a periphery 110, an inside surface and an outside surface. The periphery 110 wraps around the user's temple, frontal, and occipital head regions. It will be understood to a person ordinarily skilled in the art that the headgear 100 can be of any type such as a cap, a hat, and so forth.

[0018] FIG. 2 illustrates a top perspective view of the headwear 100 in a deployed state, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The headwear 100 has a deployable face cover 205 along the periphery 110. For example, a baseball cap can have a deployable mosquito net. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the deployable face cover 205 is along entire periphery 110. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the deployable face cover 205 is partially along the periphery 110. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the headwear 100 has a pulling member 210 to pull down the deployable face cover 205 from a stowed-away state to a deployed state. In one embodiment, the pulling member is a pulling string, however it should be understood that other designs may be provided. The stowed-away state is described in the subsequent FIGs.

[0019] FIG. 3 illustrates a cross section side view of the headwear 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The headwear 100 is shown to include a storage compartment 305 on the inside surface of the head cover 105. In one embodiment, the storage compartment is a pocket. The storage compartment 305 is along the periphery 110 of the head cover 105. The storage compartment 305 has a length and a width 310. The deployable face cover 205 is stored in the storage compartment 305 in a stowed-away state. For example, a baseball cap 100 can have a zipper to store a deployable mosquito net 205 in the zipper in a stowed-away state. In a deployment state, the deployable mosquito net 205 can be pulled down by opening the zipper and pulling the pulling member 210 down to fully or partially cover the head of a user. In one embodiment, the zipper provides access to the storage compartment as well known in the art. It should be understood, that although a zipper is disclosed and illustrated, other closure methods and/or devices may be provided.

[0020] 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.
