Abstract

A head garment assembly includes a hat that is wearable on a user's head. The hat has a plurality of first slots each extending through the hat and the user's hair can be extended through a respective one of the first slots when the user wears the hat. The first slots are distributed along a line which bisects the hat to accommodate a ponytail of the user that might be positioned at a variety of locations on a back of the user's head. The hat has a plurality of second slots each extending through the hat. Each of the second slots is laterally displaced from the line defined by the first slots to accommodate the user's ponytail when the user's ponytail is positioned on a side of the user's head.

Claims (24)

1. A head garment assembly for accommodating hair styles with a ponytail, said assembly comprising:

a hat being wearable on a user's head, said hat having a plurality of first slots each extending through said hat wherein each of said first slots is configured to have the user's hair being extended through a respective one of said first slots when the user wears said hat, said first slots being distributed along a line which bisects said hat wherein said plurality of first slots is configured to accommodate a ponytail of the user being positioned at a variety of locations on a back of the user's head, said hat having a plurality of second slots each extending through said hat, each of said second slots being laterally displaced from said line defined by said first slots wherein each of said second slots is configured to accommodate the user's ponytail when the user's ponytail is positioned on a side of the user's head;

wherein said hat has a top surface, a bottom surface and a perimeter edge extending between said top surface and said bottom surface, said perimeter edge being continuous such that said hat has a circular shape, said bottom surface being concavely arcuate with said perimeter edge such that said hat defines a bowl wherein said hat is configured to conform to the shape of the user's head, said top surface being co-arcuate with said bottom surface, said top surface having an apex;

wherein said hat having a button being coupled to said top surface, said button being positioned at said apex;

wherein said perimeter edge has a concave portion extending upwardly toward said apex to define an arch in said perimeter edge wherein said arch is configured to be positioned on a back of the user's head when said hat is worn, said line bisecting said hat extending between said arch in said perimeter edge and said apex; and

wherein each of said first slots being elongated to extend along said line.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:

said hat has a brim being coupled to and extending laterally away from said perimeter edge, said brim being positioned on an opposite side of said hat from said arch defined by said concave portion of said perimeter edge;

respective ones of said first slots being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said arch and said button; and

a respective one of said first slots being positioned between said button and said brim.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of said second slots is elongated to extend along an axis being perpendicularly oriented to said line bisecting said hat, each of said second slots being centrally positioned between said line bisecting said hat and said perimeter edge, each of said second slots being centrally positioned between said brim and said arch defined by said concave portion of said perimeter edge.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said hat is comprised of a resiliently stretchable material wherein each of said first slots and said second slots is configured to be stretched around the user's ponytail.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first strap being coupled to said perimeter edge of said hat, said first strap being positioned on a first lateral side of said arch defined by said concave portion of said perimeter edge, said first strap having a first surface; and

a first mating member being coupled to said first surface of said first strap.

6. The assembly according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a second strap being coupled to said perimeter edge of said hat, said second strap being positioned on a second lateral side of said arch defined by said concave portion of said perimeter edge, said second strap having a primary surface; and

a second mating member being coupled to said primary surface of said second strap, said second mating member being matable to said first mating member to adjust a size of said hat wherein said first strap and said second strap is configured to accommodate a variety of sizes of heads.

7. A head garment assembly for accommodating hair styles with a ponytail, said assembly comprising:

a hat being wearable on a user's head, said hat having a plurality of first slots each extending through said hat wherein each of said first slots is configured to have the user's hair being extended through a respective one of said first slots when the user wears said hat, said first slots being distributed along a line which bisects said hat wherein said plurality of first slots is configured to accommodate a ponytail of the user being positioned at a variety of locations on a back of the user's head, said hat having a plurality of second slots each extending through said hat, each of said second slots being laterally displaced from said line defined by said first slots wherein each of said second slots is configured to accommodate the user's ponytail when the user's ponytail is positioned on a side of the user's head, said hat having a top surface, a bottom surface and a perimeter edge extending between said top surface and said bottom surface, said perimeter edge being continuous such that said hat has a circular shape, said bottom surface being concavely arcuate with said perimeter edge such that said hat defines a bowl wherein said hat is configured to conform to the shape of the user's head, said top surface being co-arcuate with said bottom surface, said top surface having an apex, said hat having a button being coupled to said top surface, said button being positioned at said apex, said perimeter edge having a concave portion extending upwardly toward said apex to define an arch in said perimeter edge wherein said arch is configured to be positioned on a back of the user's head when said hat is worn, said line bisecting said hat extending between said arch in said perimeter edge and said apex, each of said first slots being elongated to extend along said line, said hat having a brim being coupled to and extending laterally away from said perimeter edge, said brim being positioned on an opposite side of said hat from said arch defined by said concave portion of said perimeter edge, respective ones of said first slots being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said arch and said button, a respective one of said first slots being positioned between said button and said brim, each of said second slots being elongated to extend along an axis being perpendicularly oriented to said line bisecting said hat, each of said second slots being centrally positioned between said line bisecting said hat and said perimeter edge, each of said second slots being centrally positioned between said brim and said arch defined by said concave portion of said perimeter edge, said hat being comprised of a resiliently stretchable material wherein each of said first slots and said second slots is configured to be stretched around the user's ponytail;

a first strap being coupled to said perimeter edge of said hat, said first strap being positioned on a first lateral side of said arch defined by said concave portion of said perimeter edge, said first strap having a first surface;
