The hat pouch comprises: a bag having an opening; bag closure means which is preferably a velcro TM strip, and; bag anchor means to attach the bag to the interior top portion of the hat. Access to the pouch may be either through a cut in the top portion of the hat or alternatively, from the interior of the hat. In a preferred aspect of the invention the bag anchor means is a velcro TM
strip. In another aspect of the invention, in which a hat is provided having a pouch therein, the bag anchor means is stitching to the hat. The hat pouch may be utilized to store a folded rain shield for the hat, or other small objects which the wearer has no convenient place to carry.

Description
- HAT POUCH
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to hat rain protection and more particularly to a hat having a concealed pouch therein which can be used to store a folded transparent plastic rain shield therein or alternatively, other small objects.
People have traditionally worn hats. Ornamental hats have been the mode with women. Hats have been a significant part of military uniforms. Cowboy and Western hats have been functionally useful in shading the wearer from direct sunlight.
However, there has been a problem. ~ressy hats are not usually water resistant. Although hats can be made water resistant the problem is that a water resi~tant hat does not breathe. The top of the head, richly supplied with blood, quickly gets hot when it is insulated from the surrounding air by a hat which neither air nor water can penetrate.
Police officer~ are 6upplied with a largely water resist~nt hat. In the past it has been necessary to make a hat water resistant in order to prevent it from being ruined in the rain.
The problem with such a hat is that it is uncomfortable to wear.
There is a need for a convenient means to shield a stylish decorative and functional breathing hat from the potential damage of a soaking rain. There is also a need for a stylishly attired individual to have a place to store relatively ~mall object~.
2l3l322 For example, a woman attired in a dress may not wish to carry ~
purse or alternatively, a man wearing tight Western wear may not have a pocket in which he can comfortably and inconspicuously carry his keys or cigarettes.
One aspect of this invention provides for a pouch for a hat comprising: a bag having an opening; bag closure means to releasably close the opening; and bag anchor means to attach the bag to the interior of a top end portion of the hat.
Another aspect of this invention provides for a hat having the above described pouch therein. An alternative embodiment of this hat comprises ~ cut in the top portion of the hat, said cut providing access to the opening in the bag.
Various other objects, advantages and features of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following discuss~on, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

It should be noted that such discussion and description is not meant to unduly limit the scope of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Turning now to the drawings and more particularly to figure 1 we have a perspective view of a Western hat 18 showing a hat pouch in the interior top portion 22 of the hat. Figure 2 shows the preferred form of the hat pouch which i6 a bag 24 having an opening 26 through which to place an object ~uch a~ a rain ~hield 28 (shown in figure 4) into the pouch 20. The pouch 20 iB
fabricated from a pliable and durable ~heet of material ~uch a~ a 213~3~2 nylon fabric 30. In the preferred embodiment the bag 24 i8 made from a rectangular sheet of material 30 having a top portion 32, a central portion 34 and a bottom portion ~6. The bottom portion 36 is folded up over the central portion 34 having opposite peripheral side portions 38 fastened to corresponding side portions 38 of the central portion 34. The top portion 32 is folded downwardly o~er the upturned bottom portion 36. Bag closure means is a releaseable fastening means which is preferably a velcro TM strip 40.
Figure 3 shows the pouch shown in figure 2 from the rear. A
~ag anchor means which is preferably velcro TM strips is run along the width of the pouch. Matingly grippable strips (not shown) are positioned in the interior top portion 22 of the hat 18. Alternatively the bag 24 could be anchored to the hat by sewing it therein as illustrated in figure ~.
Figure 4 shows a police officer's hat 18 covered by a rain repellant shield 28 which is a clear vinyl plastic having ~ hat positioning and holding means 42 therearound. The hat positioning and holding mean6 42 i6 preferably an elasticized draw string 42 which runs around the periphery of the rain shield 28.
Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a hat having a cut 44 through the interior top portion 22 of the hat 18. The cut 44 through the hat 18 provides access to the opening 26 in the pouch 2131~22 20. In this this embodiment the bag closure means 40 also releasably closes the cut 44 in the hat 18.
Figure 6 shows yet another embodiment of the hat pouch ~0.
In this embodiment a zipper 46 is used as bag closure means, releaseably closing the cut 44 in the hat 18.
While the invention has been described with preferred specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood that this description is intended to illustrate and not to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the following claims.
