ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to headware equipped with a weather and environmental protection device insert that stores in a hidden fashion within the headware, and instantly self expands upon removal and upon reattachment to the headware exterior forms a effective protection unit to the head and body of the wearer. The protection device consists of one or more sphere shaped panels, each with a perimeter border of coilable spring wire formed in a loop, such loop covered with a variety of foldable protective fabric to form side or overhead panels. That these panels can deploy singly overhead to create a wide brim effect offering protection from sun and rain, or that such panels can also be joined together to create a tentlike protective framework about the head and body of the wearer. In either design, the protection device is easily coilable from its deployed broad cover by twist-fold pressure to form a small stack of concentric, over lapping spheres that fit comfortably and unobtrusively in the crown of the supporting headware. The protective device is adaptable to a variety of standard off-the-shelf headware as well as to designs that incorporate the headware/protective device as one matching unit in a variety of fashion styles for men and women.
