Abstract

A device including a crown or dome section having a proximate upper portion, a proximate lower portion, and a proximate bottom end portion, in which the proximate bottom end portion comprises an interior and outer surface area; a ring segment having a plurality of holes or vent in a mesh pattern that is configured to allow airflow or ventilation; an aperture portion that is configured to be operable for allowing the hair to project out an interior of the crown or dome section to generally prevent hat hair; a hem segment that is configured to be operable for preventing hair from snagging and tangling upon the aperture portion; and an interior padding portion configured to cover and pad the interior surface area of the proximate bottom end portion to provide comfort during wear.

Claims (22)

1. A hat consisting of:

a crown or dome section, said crown or dome section comprises a proximate upper portion, a proximate lower portion, and a proximate bottom end portion, in which said proximate bottom end portion comprises an interior and outer surface area;

a ring segment, said ring segment is into engagement with said proximate lower portion of said crown or dome section;

wherein said ring segment comprises a plurality of holes in a mesh pattern that is configured to allow airflow or ventilation;

an aperture portion disposed in said proximate upper portion of said crown or dome section, proximately above said ring segment, wherein said aperture portion is configured to be operable for allowing hair to project out of said interior of said crown or dome section;

a hem segment, said hem segment is configured to line the periphery of said aperture portion, wherein said hem segment comprises at least one of, a smooth fabric, nylon, and plastic that is configured to be operable for preventing hair from snagging and tangling upon said aperture portion;

a brim section, said brim section is configured to protect a head and face from sunlight, said brim section comprises a proximate upward folding end portion, wherein said brim section is configured to encircle said crown or dome section;

said ring segment further comprises a plastic ring segment that is configured to prevent said crown or dome section from collapsing on the brim section and configured to provide for said crown or dome section to generally remain in an upright position;

an outer padding portion disposed in said proximate bottom end portion and configured to support said brim section of said crown or dome section; and

an interior padding portion, said interior padding portion is into engagement with said interior surface area of said proximate bottom end portion of said crown or dome section,

wherein said interior padding portion is configured to cover and pad said interior surface area of said proximate bottom end portion to provide comfort during wear.

2. The hat of claim 1 , in which said hat is made from a nylon material.

3. The hat of claim 1 , in which said proximate bottom end portion of said crown or dome section comprises a band.

4. A hat consisting of:

a crown or dome section, said crown or dome section comprises a proximate upper portion, a proximate lower portion, and a proximate bottom end portion, in which said proximate bottom end portion comprises an interior and outer surface area;

a ring segment, said ring segment is into engagement with said proximate lower portion of said crown or dome section;

wherein said ring segment comprises a plurality of holes in a mesh pattern that is configured to allow airflow or ventilation;

an aperture portion disposed in said proximate upper portion of said crown or dome section, proximately above said ring segment, wherein said aperture portion is configured to be operable for allowing the hair to project out of an interior of said crown or dome section to generally prevent hat hair;

a hem segment, said hem segment is configured to line the periphery of said aperture portion, wherein said hem segment comprises at least one of, a smooth fabric, nylon, and plastic that is configured to be operable for preventing hair from snagging and tangling upon said aperture portion;

an interior padding portion, said interior padding portion is into engagement with said interior surface area of said proximate bottom end portion of said crown or dome section,

wherein said interior padding portion is configured to cover and pad said interior surface area of said proximate bottom end portion to provide comfort during wear; and

a brim section, said brim section is configured to protect a head and face from sunlight said brim section being configured to encircle said crown or dome section, said brim section having a proximate upward folding end portion, said ring segment further having a plastic ring segment configured to prevent said crown or dome section from collapsing on the brim section and configured to support said brim section of said crown or dome section to generally remain in an upright position, an outer padding portion disposed in an outer surface area of said proximate bottom end portion and configured to support said crown or dome section, said proximate bottom end portion of said crown or dome section having an outer padded pad.
