Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to an apparatus for hunting, and more particularly to a hat with an attached face mask
- Camouflage is an important tool of a hunter. Camouflage serves to break up the outline of the hunter, and makes it harder for an animal to see the hunter.
- One situation in which camouflage is especially useful is when trying to cover a hunter's face. Not only are animals able to spot two eyes more readily than other features in the environment, but a hunter's light colored face can appear quite contrasting to the surrounding green and brown tones in the environment. What hunters sometimes do to prevent their light face from being easily visible to animals, is to put coloration on their skin in the form of black, green and brown, camouflage paint.
- camouflage paint One disadvantage with using camouflage paint is that it can be uncomfortable on the skin, and it tends to make a mess out of the hunter's hands and clothes.
- a alternative to camouflage paint on a hunter's face is the use of a facemask.
- the facemask has the disadvantage that it can obscure the hunter's vision when he is traveling and make it hard to see things at a distance. It also restricts the hunter's peripheral vision.
- a facemask to camouflage a hunter's face which can be instantly available to the hunter when needed, but which can be out of the way of the hunter's vision when it is not needed. Ideally it would allow the hunter to put on a mask covering over his face merely by lifting the hat into the air, then replacing the hat on the hunters head.
- a facemask which is always ready to be used, but which can be tucked away inside a hat or removed from the hat so that the hat may be used when the hunter is driving or doing other non-hunting activities.
- the invention is a clothing device for use by people in the outdoors.
- the clothing device includes a hat body, which can be a billed or baseball type hat.
- the hat has a bottom edge, to which the bill or brim is attached.
- the clothing device also includes a flexible facemask.
- the facemask is attached to the front bottom edge of the hat, on the same side as the bill in the case of a baseball type hat.
- the facemask is configured to hang freely from the bottom edge of the hat body, and to be foldable into the hat body so that it can be worn in a storage configuration.
- a person may wear the hat with the facemask down when he is in the field, and tuck the facemask into the interior of the hat when he wears the hat driving or to town.
- the facemask is specifically made so that by merely lifting the hat into the air by the bill of the hat, the face mask falls out of the hat interior, and is in place in front of the hunters face. This allows minimal movement when putting on the mask.
- the facemask's primary role is to serve as a facemask for hunting.
- the hat When used by a hunter, the hat can be lifted to allow the mask to drop when the hunter wants to cover his face.
- the facemask is dimensioned so that it covers the user's entire face and most of the sides of the face and neck.
- the facemask can be of a sheer material which is suitable for seeing through without the use of eyeholes. However, it can also be provided with eyeholes and the user can adjust the hat so that the eyeholes match the location of his eyes by adjusting the position of the hat on his head. No window material, either clear or colored is used in the face mash whether it is made with or without eyeholes, as there is a likelihood of reflection from a window surface that would defeat the purpose of the camouflage mask.
- One optional feature of the facemask is that it can include a moldable material which can be shaped into a form selected by the user. The moldable material would be positioned adjacent the front bottom edge of the hat, along the edges of the facemask.
- the user could form the moldable material into ear scoops adjacent the user's ear. These ear scoops aid in directing sound to the user's ear and thus increases the user's ability to hear.
- Panels of a fabric selected to minimize sound attenuation can be positioned of over the ears of the user to minimize attenuation of sounds.
- the best way known to implement the ear panels is to use a mesh fabric with larger opening than present in the rest of the facemask.
- the invention can be configured so that the facemask is removable, and in this form would be attached or removed from the hat body by the user.
- One embodiment of the facemask includes positions for holding headphones in the facemask, so that the headphones are adjacent to the user's ear. These headphones can be used to listen to a radio, recorded music on a number of different types of devices or for wireless communication from one person to another.
- a microphone may be built in to the facemask for wireless communication between users.
- the headphones and microphone can be separate from the facemask and be attachable to the facemask by the use of pocket snaps or hook and loop attachments.
- a version of the headphone can also include these devices built into the facemask.
- the eyeholes can be provided with a way to close or cover the holes.
- the holes can be covered with a hook and loop closure, snaps or other devices.
- the eyeholes can also be covered by flaps of fabric which can be secured in place over the eyeholes by similar means. The purpose for covering the eyeholes is to give the user the option of using the eyeholes for vision, or to not use them and see through the fabric instead.
- the hat utilized is a type of hat which includes a bill; the bill would contain a left and right side which join at the bottom edge of the hat.
- the facemask also includes a right and left side of the facemask which also join the bottom edge of the hat.
- a preferred configuration of the device is one in which the facemask covers the hunter's entire face, the sides of his face, and most of the hunter's neck.
- the facemask preferably includes a mask border which is made of a heavier material than the facemask. This heavier border is provided to increase the mask resistance to movement in the wind.
- a flexible facemask is provided for removable attachment to the front bottom edge of the user's hat, and the flexible facemask is configured to hang freely from the front bottom edge of the hat body.
- the facemask of this version is configured to be foldable into the hat body so that it can be worn with the facemask out of sight.
- the facemask is dimensioned to cover the user's entire face and neck, so that when it is hanging down from the hat and moved to hang over the user's face, substantially the user's entire face and neck are blocked from view by the facemask.
- Attachment strips are provided for this version of the facemask, so that the attachment strips may be attached to the hat.
- the facemask may be attached to the attachment strips.
- the attachment strips may be attached to the hat by adhesive means, or by other conventional means of attachment.
- the facemask would be attached to the attachment strips by hook and loop surfaces, or other similar methods.
- the facemask is preferred to be in a generally parabolic shape, with a more or less straight edge opposite the parabolic curve. The straight edge would be attached to the brim or bottom edge of the hat.
- the hat and facemask can be made of a fabric which absorbs odor, such as Scentloc or Scentblocker° fabric, or other commercially available scent reducing fabric brands.
- the hat is preferably made of a stretchable material. Mouth and nose holes are also optional features of the facemask, and may further include multiple fabrics so the user may mold the most comfortable shape around his face and nose.

No. 12/366,478 filed Feb. 5, 2009, which claims the benefit of provisional U.S. Application No. 61/026,382, filed Feb. 5, 2008, and is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/626,761, filed Jan. 24, 2007, which claims priority of provisional U.S. Application No. 60/766,520, filed Jan. 24, 2006, all which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- The present invention generally relates to an apparatus for hunting, and more particularly to a hat with an attached face mask
- Camouflage is an important tool of a hunter. Camouflage serves to break up the outline of the hunter, and makes it harder for an animal to see the hunter. One situation in which camouflage is especially useful is when trying to cover a hunter's face. Not only are animals able to spot two eyes more readily than other features in the environment, but a hunter's light colored face can appear quite contrasting to the surrounding green and brown tones in the environment. What hunters sometimes do to prevent their light face from being easily visible to animals, is to put coloration on their skin in the form of black, green and brown, camouflage paint. One disadvantage with using camouflage paint is that it can be uncomfortable on the skin, and it tends to make a mess out of the hunter's hands and clothes.
- An alternative to camouflage paint on a hunter's face is the use of a facemask. The facemask has the disadvantage that it can obscure the hunter's vision when he is traveling and make it hard to see things at a distance. It also restricts the hunter's peripheral vision.
- In a typical hunting situation, disguising the face is only needed when an animal is at close range to the hunter. One situation is when a hunter is in a hidden position, and an animal either wanders close to him, or is called close by the hunter through the use of a call. When the animal comes close to the hunter, the hunter would need to put on a facemask in order to disguise the bright appearance of his face. That moment is exactly the time that a hunter needs to put on a facemask, but it is also the worst time to put on a facemask because he likely has to put his weapon down, use both hands to put on the facemask, possibly take a hat off, then put it back on once the facemask is adjusted, pick up his weapon, look around and try to find the animal again, and by that time the animal most likely has seen the hunter's movement or heard the hunter and is long gone. Additionally the typical face mask is hot, cumbersome, and bulky, reduces hearing, and is slow to put on.
- What is needed is a facemask to camouflage a hunter's face which can be instantly available to the hunter when needed, but which can be out of the way of the hunter's vision when it is not needed. Ideally it would allow the hunter to put on a mask covering over his face merely by lifting the hat into the air, then replacing the hat on the hunters head.
- Also needed is a facemask which is always ready to be used, but which can be tucked away inside a hat or removed from the hat so that the hat may be used when the hunter is driving or doing other non-hunting activities.
- The invention is a clothing device for use by people in the outdoors. The clothing device includes a hat body, which can be a billed or baseball type hat. The hat has a bottom edge, to which the bill or brim is attached. The clothing device also includes a flexible facemask. The facemask is attached to the front bottom edge of the hat, on the same side as the bill in the case of a baseball type hat. The facemask is configured to hang freely from the bottom edge of the hat body, and to be foldable into the hat body so that it can be worn in a storage configuration. In this way, a person may wear the hat with the facemask down when he is in the field, and tuck the facemask into the interior of the hat when he wears the hat driving or to town. The facemask is specifically made so that by merely lifting the hat into the air by the bill of the hat, the face mask falls out of the hat interior, and is in place in front of the hunters face. This allows minimal movement when putting on the mask.
- The facemask's primary role is to serve as a facemask for hunting. When used by a hunter, the hat can be lifted to allow the mask to drop when the hunter wants to cover his face. The facemask is dimensioned so that it covers the user's entire face and most of the sides of the face and neck.
- The facemask can be of a sheer material which is suitable for seeing through without the use of eyeholes. However, it can also be provided with eyeholes and the user can adjust the hat so that the eyeholes match the location of his eyes by adjusting the position of the hat on his head. No window material, either clear or colored is used in the face mash whether it is made with or without eyeholes, as there is a likelihood of reflection from a window surface that would defeat the purpose of the camouflage mask. One optional feature of the facemask is that it can include a moldable material which can be shaped into a form selected by the user. The moldable material would be positioned adjacent the front bottom edge of the hat, along the edges of the facemask. The user could form the moldable material into ear scoops adjacent the user's ear. These ear scoops aid in directing sound to the user's ear and thus increases the user's ability to hear. Panels of a fabric selected to minimize sound attenuation can be positioned of over the ears of the user to minimize attenuation of sounds. The best way known to implement the ear panels is to use a mesh fabric with larger opening than present in the rest of the facemask.
- The invention can be configured so that the facemask is removable, and in this form would be attached or removed from the hat body by the user. One embodiment of the facemask includes positions for holding headphones in the facemask, so that the headphones are adjacent to the user's ear. These headphones can be used to listen to a radio, recorded music on a number of different types of devices or for wireless communication from one person to another. Similarly, a microphone may be built in to the facemask for wireless communication between users. The headphones and microphone can be separate from the facemask and be attachable to the facemask by the use of pocket snaps or hook and loop attachments. A version of the headphone can also include these devices built into the facemask.
- In those versions of the facemask which include eyeholes, the eyeholes can be provided with a way to close or cover the holes. The holes can be covered with a hook and loop closure, snaps or other devices. The eyeholes can also be covered by flaps of fabric which can be secured in place over the eyeholes by similar means. The purpose for covering the eyeholes is to give the user the option of using the eyeholes for vision, or to not use them and see through the fabric instead.
- The hat utilized is a type of hat which includes a bill; the bill would contain a left and right side which join at the bottom edge of the hat. The facemask also includes a right and left side of the facemask which also join the bottom edge of the hat. A preferred configuration of the device is one in which the facemask covers the hunter's entire face, the sides of his face, and most of the hunter's neck.
- The facemask preferably includes a mask border which is made of a heavier material than the facemask. This heavier border is provided to increase the mask resistance to movement in the wind.
- In the kit version of the device, a flexible facemask is provided for removable attachment to the front bottom edge of the user's hat, and the flexible facemask is configured to hang freely from the front bottom edge of the hat body. Like the facemask described above, the facemask of this version is configured to be foldable into the hat body so that it can be worn with the facemask out of sight. The facemask is dimensioned to cover the user's entire face and neck, so that when it is hanging down from the hat and moved to hang over the user's face, substantially the user's entire face and neck are blocked from view by the facemask. Attachment strips are provided for this version of the facemask, so that the attachment strips may be attached to the hat. Once the attachment strips are attached to the hat, the facemask may be attached to the attachment strips. The attachment strips may be attached to the hat by adhesive means, or by other conventional means of attachment. The facemask would be attached to the attachment strips by hook and loop surfaces, or other similar methods. The facemask is preferred to be in a generally parabolic shape, with a more or less straight edge opposite the parabolic curve. The straight edge would be attached to the brim or bottom edge of the hat.
- The hat and facemask can be made of a fabric which absorbs odor, such as Scentloc or Scentblocker° fabric, or other commercially available scent reducing fabric brands. The hat is preferably made of a stretchable material. Mouth and nose holes are also optional features of the facemask, and may further include multiple fabrics so the user may mold the most comfortable shape around his face and nose.
- The purpose of the foregoing Abstract is to enable the public, and especially the scientists, engineers, and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection, the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The Abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.

FIG. 2 shows thehat 12 withmask 14 in a deployed or hunting position. In the hunting position, thefacemask 14 is over the user's face, and thehat bill 16 is over the user's face. The transition from the hat position to the hunting position shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 is accomplished merely by raising the hat into the air, so that thefacemask 14 falls out of the interior of the hat. This allows afacemask 14 to cover the user's face, neck and eyes, to reduce the user's visibility to animals. Thefacemask 14 can be made of a number of different fabrics or color patterns, including various types of camouflage color patterns. Shown inFIG. 1 is amask edge 28 which is preferably made of a thicker and heavier material than the rest of thefacemask 14. Themask edge 28 is provided to add increased weight and stiffness to thefacemask 14 and to resist deflection of thefacemask 14 by wind. Thismask edge 28 can also be formed by rolling up the facemask material, and sewing it in place. Thefacemask 14 can include amoldable strip 30 which is a material which can be molded by the user to form either a flat area continuous with themask edge 28, or a scoop (not shown) like region adjacent to the user's ears. When molded into the form of a scoop-like feature, themoldable strip 30 can be used to create a shape which reflects sound into the user's ear, and thus improves hearing for the user. Thefacemask 14 shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 is preferably of a lightweight material which may easily be inserted into thehat 12, so that the hat may be worn with thefacemask 14 completely concealed inside thehat 12 and on top of the user's head. -
FIG. 3 shows a version of thehat 12 withfacemask 14 in which thefacemask 14 is attachable and removable from thelower edge 18 of thehat 12. This version of the invention can be provided in kit form, with one or more attachment strips 32 provided for attachment adjacent theperiphery 18 of the hat. The attachment strips can be adhesive, or hook and loop. Thefacemask 14 can have a strip of hook and loop fabric which corresponds to the attachment strips 32. In this way, the facemask of the invention can be added to any of the user's hats by use of attachment strips 32. Thefacemask 14 can also be attached by the use ofsnaps 36. Also shown inFIG. 3 is anear panel 50 that can be made of a material specifically selected to minimize sound attenuation. -
FIGS. 4 a and 4 b show a version of the hat in which the eye holes 24 include cover flaps 38. The cover flaps 38 can be fixed in an open position as shownFIG. 4 a, or can be closed to a closed position as shown inFIG. 4 b. Hook and loop fabric patches are one way to secure the cover flaps in the open or closed position, as shown inFIGS. 4 a and 4 b. The purpose of the cover flaps 38 is to give the user the option of having a mask with or without eye holes 24. -
FIG. 5 shows a version of thehat 12 andfacemask 14 combination of the device in which thehat 12 includes one ormore pockets 42 adjacent to thelower edge 18 of thehat 12. Thefacemask 14 can be attached to thehat 12 as has been discussed above. Thefacemask 14 can includepockets 42 to hold amicrophone 44 andearpieces 46. Theearpieces 46 andmicrophone 44 can also be built into the fabric of thefacemask 14, or can be secured to thefacemask 14 either externally or internally. Thepockets 42 can be utilized for holding such articles as batteries, FM radio, mp3 player, music players of various types, two way radio transmitters and receiver, or other similar devices. - The
facemask 14 is configured so that it covers the entire face of theuser 26, including the user's ears and front of the user's neck. - A strap (not shown) can be attached to the
facemask 14 for adjusting thefacemask 14 for fit on the user's face. The strap would store along the edge of thefacemask 14, and when thefacemask 14 is in use in front of the user's face, could be used to secure thefacemask 14 to the users head by extending from one edge of thefacemask 14 to the other edge of thefacemask 14, behind the users head and neck. - A further feature is a mirror (not shown) which can be attached to the
bill 16 of thehat 12, and can be folded into a storage position, or folded into a position available for a user to use the mirror to see objects behind him. The reflective surface mirror would be facing the rear of the hunter, so would minimize the chance of reflections being seen by the animal. - While there is shown and described the present preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that this invention is not limited thereto, but may be variously embodied to practice within the scope of the following claims. From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
