Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hats and, in particular, to hats that can be secured to articles of clothing. More specifically, the invention relates to hats that can be secured to the body for storage; in preferred examples the hats of the present invention are structured to be secured to a belt worn on the person, for example, around an individual's waist.
  • Hats are a valuable defense against the sun and inclement weather. Available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, they may shield the wearer's eyes from glare, may protect the head from excessive heat and cold, and may reduce the risk of skin cancer.
  • a perennial question remains concerning how and where one is to store or carry a hat that is not currently being worn; for example, when the wearer is indoors or at nighttime. Hats are constantly lost or misplaced as a result of their owners simply forgetting where they set them down or left them, or when a hat slips onto the floor unnoticed.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,799,335 to Ethier and U.S. Pat. No. 7,257,845 to Conner disclose convertible hats that can be reassembled into handbags, shoulder bags, satchels, fanny packs or the like.
  • each of these hat designs is somewhat complicated and requires that the hat be folded, collapsed, turned inside out, or otherwise inverted in a way that would not be intuitive or convenient to most users.
  • Ethier and Conner disclose embodiments in which the hat may be converted in form, for example, to a fanny pack or a self-containing bag or other container, and worn joined to an elastic cord or strap that is incorporated as part of the convertible hat for use in one or more of these other, “non-hat” forms. Furthermore, none of these convertible hats is structured and designed to be fastened to a separate, medium-width belt of the type normally worn with slacks, jeans or similar casual clothing.
  • the present invention provides hats with attachment assemblies allowing them to be detachably secured, for example, in an “exterior-side out” configuration; that is, a normal configuration as the hat is to be worn.
  • the attachment assembly is configured to be joined to a standard belt worn around the wearer's waist, preferably without requiring the hats to be inverted, reversed, or folded in a complex fashion, and without the need for pockets, linings, zippers, bags, or the like.
  • a hat may comprise a crown portion, an optional brim portion, and an attachment assembly including at least one strip of suitably flexible material, for example, a fabric material, a leather material, a polymeric material and/or an elastomeric material, having at least one of a first end and a second end attached to the exterior side of the crown portion, with the unattached end, if any, being attachable by any suitable fastener (such as, without limitation, a snap fastener, a button fastener, and/or a hook and loop VELCRO®-type fastener).
  • suitable fastener such as, without limitation, a snap fastener, a button fastener, and/or a hook and loop VELCRO®-type fastener.
  • the first and/or second ends and any fasteners are arranged to permit the ends of the strip to be attached to the exterior side of the crown portion along a substantially vertical axis relative to the orientation of the hat while it is being worn.
  • a substantially vertical axis shall mean an axis within about 45° of the vertical.
  • the strip is of sufficient length, preferably at least about 1.25′′, or at least about 1.50′′, or at least about 1.75′′ in length, to enable an ordinary belt of at least medium width to be extended through it.
  • a single strip is provided, in the form of a length of material that is joined (e.g., by sewing) and/or fastened (i.e., by a suitable fastener) to the exterior of the hat crown in such a way as to define a loop.
  • the strip is defined in the form of material located between two closely spaced, similarly oriented slits in the crown portion material. In this latter example, the first end and second end of the strip are joined to and continuous with the material of the crown portion.
  • the attachment assembly may be joined to the brim portion. Additionally and independently, however the attachment assembly may otherwise be configured, the attachment assembly may in a particular case comprise a plurality of strips, such as two, three, four or more strips.
  • one end of the strip is detachably fastened to the crown portion, so that the loop can easily be opened up, wrapped around the wearer's belt, and then fastened, without requiring the user to unfasten the belt from around his or her body or fold the hat into another form.
  • the attachment assembly may be joined to the brim portion of a hat.
  • the hat is formed of sufficiently flexible material to allow it to be folded, for example, in one or more pleat when the hat is attached to a belt using the attachment a assembly.
  • the hat may also have at least one retention member comprising one or more suitable fastener for holding the hat in a folded position when secured to the belt.
  • the securable hat of the present invention may be affixed to a belt, for example, in an inverted fashion, to provide a convenient carrying pouch for keys, cell phone and other items.
  • FIG. 1 is a 3 ⁇ 4 perspective view from the rear of an example of the invention
  • FIGS. 2-4 are fragmentary 3 ⁇ 4 perspective views from the rear, showing alternate examples of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view showing a hat according to any one of FIGS. 1-4 in an inverted position;
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the hat of FIG. 1 being worn in a folded configuration on the belt of a user;

  • FIG. 16 is a view of the hat of FIG. 12 attached to a wearer's belt by the attachment assembly.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cap 10 having a generally dome-shaped crown portion 12 configured to engage a wearer's head, and a brim portion 14 , (here a visor or bill), that projects outwardly from a forward portion of the cap.
  • a brim portion 14 (here a visor or bill), that projects outwardly from a forward portion of the cap.
  • the brim portion may be absent, or may partially or wholly extend around the crown portion.
  • An attachment assembly 16 is provided for attachment of the hat to a belt on the wearer's waist.
  • the attachment assembly comprises a single strip 18 of material, such as a denim or canvas fabric.
  • First and second ends ( 20 , 22 ) of the strip 18 are joined to the eternal back portion of the crown in such a way that the strip 18 and the underlying portion of the crown together define a loop through which the end of medium-width belt may be passed.
  • the opposite ends 20 , 22 of the strip 18 are sewn to the crown 12 . It will be understood that any appropriate means of joining the strip ends 20 , 22 to the crown portion 12 of the hat, such as sewing or riveting, may be employed.
  • the attachment assembly 16 ′ comprises a plurality of strips 18 a ′, 18 b ′, and 18 c ′ joined to the hat at closely spaced intervals from one another.
  • the spacing between strips is preferably no more than about 1′′-3′′ or so; thus, for example allowing the hat to be gathered into pleat folds when attached to a wearer's belt.
  • FIG. 3 shows another exemplary embodiment wherein the attachment assembly 16 ′′ comprises a flexible strip 18 ′′ having a first end 20 ′′ sewn to the crown portion 12 ′′ and a second end 22 ′′ fastened to the crown by means of a releasable connection between a first fastener element (not shown) on the second end 22 ′′ and a second fastener element 26 ′′ on the crown portion 12 ′′.
  • the second fastener element 26 ′′ is shown here as a male snap fastener; the first fastener element is in this case a female fastener element.
  • other releasable fastener elements such as buttons, hook and loop type fasteners and the like, are also suitable for use in attachment assemblies of this type.
  • the hat may comprise two or more such strips suitably oriented to all be joined to a single belt in other examples.
  • a useful feature of attachment assemblies such as those shown in FIG. 3 and described above is that the hat may advantageously be joined to the user's belt without taking the belt off by looping the strip around the belt and fastening the first and second fastener elements of each strip component.
  • FIG. 4 shows still another example, wherein the attachment assembly 16 ′′′ comprises a strip 18 ′′′ which is defined as an integral portion of the crown portion 12 ′′′ disposed between a pair of closely spaced-apart slits 19 , 21 .
  • the user secures the cap to the belt by inserting the free end of the belt into one of the slits 19 , passing it under the strip 18 ′′′, and then pulling it out through the other slit 21 before buckling or otherwise fastening the belt.
  • the strip or strips 18 in each of the examples shown FIGS. 1-4 preferably extends in a substantially radial and vertical orientation toward the apex 28 of the hat 10 .
  • the strip should extend at an angle of no more than about 45° away from a straight line extending between the bottom edge 30 and the apex 28 of the hat 10 .
  • a hat particularly a soft, foldable hat, may be oriented when worn on a belt in a manner permitting the hat to take up less bulk room on the belt than it might otherwise do.
  • FIG. 5 shows an example in which the hat is a flexible cap; in this view the hat 10 in an inverted position so that its interior surface 32 is visible, revealing a plurality of fastener members mounted along the interior front edge of the hat 10 .
  • These fastener members shown here as female snap fastener elements 32 a , 32 b , and 32 c , are configured to releasably engage mating male snap fastener elements 34 a , 34 b , 34 c mounted along the exterior rear edge of the hat 10 (see FIG. 1 ), to maintain the hat 10 in a folded position when it has been secured on the wearer's belt, as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the fastener members permit the cap to folded over itself to form a pocket (see e.g., FIG. 6 ).
  • the hat 10 may also serve as a convenient receptacle for containing an item such as a cell phone 38 (see e.g., FIG. 8 ), wallet, car keys or the like.
  • the flexible strips 18 in each of the examples shown in FIGS. 1-6 are preferably long enough, and the positions at which they are joined to the crown portion of the hat sufficiently widely spaced, to provide adequate clearance for a belt 36 of at least medium width, where the width of the belt is defined as the dimension extending transverse to the length or longitude of the belt.
  • a medium width belt is a recognized to be at least 11 ⁇ 4′′ wide, with at least 1 ⁇ 2′′ clearance required to allow the belt 36 to be easily slipped through loops defined by the strips 18 .
  • each strip 18 should preferably be at least about 1.25′′, or at least about 1.50′′, or at least about 1.75′′ inch.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show an alternate example of the hat 110 , wherein the attachment assembly 116 comprises a flexible strip 118 that extends in a generally circumferential direction along the bottom rear edge of the crown of the hat 110 .
