Radiation-resistant headgear

Abstract

A headgear is configured with a fabric for protecting the head from electromagnetic radiation. An ear protector with a fabric for protecting the ear from electromagnetic radiation is movably mounted to the hat between an operational position, in which it covers the auditory canal of an ear, and a rest position in which it comes to rest in the cap. The ear protector flap can be pulled out of the cap into its operational position similar to a drawer.

1 . A head protector, comprising: 
 a cap part with a fabric for shielding a head against electromagnetic radiation;    an ear protector with a fabric for protecting an ear against electromagnetic radiation;    said ear protector being attached to said cap part movably between an operating position, wherein said ear protector covers an auditory canal of an ear, and in a rest position, wherein said ear protector overlaps said cap part.    
   
   
       2 . The headgear according to  claim 1 , wherein said ear protector is mounted to be movable substantially in a vertical direction with a wearer in an upright position.  
   
   
       3 . The headgear according to  claim 1 , wherein said ear protector is mounted to be movable relative to said cap part substantially in a manner of a Venetian blind and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of a wearer.  
   
   
       4 . The headgear according to  claim 1 , wherein said ear protector is a flap.  
   
   
       5 . The headgear according to  claim 1 , wherein said ear protector protects an upper region of an ear when in the rest position.  
   
   
       6 . The headgear according to  claim 1 , wherein said ear protector has an opening positioned over an auditory canal.  
   
   
       7 . The headgear according to  claim 1 , wherein said fabric for shielding the head against electromagnetic radiation and the fabric for shielding the ear against electromagnetic radiation comprise fine wire filaments.  
   
   
       8 . The headgear according to  claim 7 , wherein said wire filaments are introduced between an internal liner and an outer cover of the cap that is visible during wearing.
