HEADS OF CLOTHING WITH HOOD AND EARPHONES

INCORPORATED

DESCRIPTION

The present patent relates to clothing and in particular it relates to hooded clothing.

Currently there are various types of clothing on the market such as, for example, sweatshirts, jackets, kway, down jackets, sports jackets, comprising at the end of the neck a protruding hood that is widened or curled through the use of a drawstring placed on the front edge. of the hood.

The existing ends of said cord can be knotted or can comprise head elements or plastic profiles, integral with said ends, to facilitate gripping on the cord and prevent the cord from slipping out or coming out. This cord inserted in a hood, therefore, has the function of closing the hood on the person's head, reducing the height and front width of the hood itself.

Earphones connected to electric cables suitable for being in turn connected to devices suitable for reproducing sounds, such as a radio or various types of recorders for music, didactic lessons, etc., are known on the market.

These earphones are currently used independently of clothing.

The user who uses the known earphones while wearing garments having a hood can find himself with reduced freedom of movement.

Another problem is determined by the simultaneous presence of 2 cords for the hood and 2 electric cables with earphones at the ends that are movable and collide with each other.

When the sweatshirt is removed, the electrical cable of the earphone may be lost, or the earphones can be confused with the terminal of the hood drawstring.

To obviate the aforesaid problems, a solution has been studied which provides for applying a new tightening cable to the hood of the garment for closing said hood.

Another purpose of the new device is to eliminate the unsightly overlapping of electric cable and drawstring for the hood

Another purpose of the new device is to use one or better two earphones, connected to digital music playback devices, as a knot applied to the ends of the tightening cord of the clothing hood.

Said new tightening cord comprises at least one electric wire having an earphone at one end and where said electric wire is connected at the other end to a jack.

Preferably, the new tensioning cord comprises two electric wires, right and left, inserted in a tubular cord in natural or synthetic fiber which hides it.

Said tensioning cable comprising at the end at least one earphone has a length such as to protrude from the cap for a length sufficient to bring the earphone to the ear.

Said electric wire, which can be conveniently inserted into the drawstring of the hood of the garment, is hooked to the upper part of the hood, and subsequently to a jack to which a second electric wire is hooked which goes down to the lower part of the garment and which is in turn connected to a sound player. Said devices for reproducing files can be positioned in pockets or other areas of the garment.

The operation of the new device is described below by way of non-limiting example.

The attached table shows a sweater, or sweatshirt (M), with a hood (C) having a tightening cord (N) whose ends protrude from both sides of the hood (C).

This tensioning cord (N) comprises two earphones (Ad, As), fixed at its ends while the electric wire is inserted directly inside said cord. The right electric wire and the left electric wire inserted inside the tubular cord meet on the upper part of the cap and come out of the cord continuing towards the back of the cap until they descend at the bottom. The electric wires of said earphones end with a jack that is put in direct connection with the sound player, or with a second jack equipped with another pair of electric wires that continues in the rear part of the cap and descends in correspondence with a pocket present. in the front part of said link. This pocket contains the sound player with the relative connections for the wire of said earphones.

The new cord with the relative electric cables and earphones can be removed from the hood and from the garment.

These are the schematic modalities sufficient for the skilled person to realize the invention, consequently, in concrete application there may be variations without prejudice to the substance of the innovative concept according to the type of garment used.

Therefore, with reference to the above description and the attached tables, the following claims are expressed.
