ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to cap with headphones assemblies and more particularly pertains to a new cap with headphones assembly for providing a cap with removable headphones for permitting a user to listen to sound generating device connected to the headphones.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of cap with headphones assemblies is known in the prior art. More specifically, cap with headphones assemblies heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 4,858,248 BY Goldsmith et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,776,044 by Makins; U.S. Pat. No. 4,864,619 by Spates; U.S. Pat. No. Des. 378,158 by Casey; U.S. Pat. No. 3,297,832 by Brown; and U.S. Pat. No. 2,856,466 by Gustafson.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new cap with headphones assembly. The inventive device includes an article of headwear with a pair of side regions and a bottom opening for receiving a head of i user therein. A pair of ear pieces are provided each having an elongate arm outwardly extending therefrom. Each of the arms has a free end opposite the associated ear piece which is pivotally coupled to an associated side regions. A first of the ear pieces has radio provided therein. Each of the ear pieces has a speaker electrically connected to the radio.
In these respects, the cap with headphones assembly according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a cap with removable headphones for permitting a user to listen to sound generating device connected to the headphones.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of cap with headphones assemblies now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new cap with headphones assembly construction wherein the same can be utilized for providing a cap with removable headphones for permitting a user to listen to sound generating device connected to the headphones.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new cap with headphones assembly apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the cap with headphones assemblies mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result In a new cap with headphones assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art cap with headphones assemblies, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention gene rally comprises an article of headwear with a pair of side regions and a bottom opening for receiving a head of a user therein. A pair of ear pieces are provided each having an elongate arm outwardly extending therefrom. Each of the arms has a free end opposite the associated ear piece which is pivotally coupled to an associated side regions. A first of the ear pieces has radio provided therein. Each of the ear pieces has a speaker electrically connected to the radio.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, 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.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new cap with headphones assembly apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the cap with headphones assemblies mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new cap with headphones assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art cap with headphones assemblies, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new cap with headphones assembly which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new cap with headphones assembly which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new cap with headphones assembly which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such cap with headphones assembly economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new cap with headphones assembly which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new cap with headphones assembly for providing a cap with removable headphones for permitting a user to listen to sound generating device connected to the headphones.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new cap with headphones assembly which includes an article of headwear with a pair of side regions and a bottom opening for receiving a head of a user therein. A pair of ear pieces are provided each having an elongate arm outwardly extending therefrom. Each of the arms has a free end opposite the associated ear piece which is pivotally coupled to an associated side regions. A first of the ear pieces has radio provided therein. Each of the ear pieces has a speaker electrically connected to the radio.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new cap with headphones assembly that has headphones that may also be pivoted out of the way when not in use.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new cap with headphones assembly that may be worn as a normal cap when the headphones are detached.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, ar
