Convertible Hat Device

Abstract

A convertible hat device transitions into a ball when the hat is turned inside out. The device includes a flexible cover. An opening extends into the cover for accessing an interior of the cover. The cover is positionable to form a primary ball having a circular perimeter edge. A plurality of elongated tails is coupled to the cover. Each of the tails is flexible and positionable within the opening to store the tails within the interior of the cover. Each of the tails has an associated base. A receiving space is formed proximate the base of the tails wherein the receiving space is configured to receive an entirety of the cover therein. The exterior surface of the cover forms a crown of a hat for receiving a head of a user when the cover is positioned within the receiving space.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A convertible hat device comprising:
 a flexible cover, an opening extending into said cover for accessing an interior of said cover, said cover being positionable to form a primary ball having a circular perimeter edge;   a plurality of elongated tails coupled to said cover, each of said tails being flexible and positionable within said opening to store said tails within said interior of said cover, each of said tails having an associated base; and   a receiving space being formed proximate said base of said tails wherein said receiving space is configured to receive an entirety of said cover therein, said exterior surface of said cover forming a crown of a hat for receiving a head of a user therein when said cover is positioned within said receiving space.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a closure being attached to said cover and being actuated to a closed state closing said opening or to an opened state allowing access to said interior of said cover, said cover forming said primary ball when said closure is actuated to the closed state. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , further comprising said closure comprising a zipper. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising each of said tails including a distal end with respect to said associated base, each said tail tapering inwardly from said base to said distal end. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising each of said tails including a distal end with respect to said associated base, each of said tails curving from said base to said distal end. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising each of said tails extending circumferentially around said cover. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , further comprising each said associated base being aligned with said opening. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , further comprising each of said tails being positionable to extend outwardly above said opening. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 6 , further comprising each of said tails having a pair of outer edges overlapping adjacently positioned ones of said outer edges. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 each of said tails including a distal end with respect to said associated base; and   a plurality of attachment members, each of said attachment members being coupled to an associated one of said tails at said distal end of said associated tail.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , further comprising each of said attachment members comprising a secondary ball. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , further comprising each of said secondary balls resembling a down-sized version of said primary ball. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of adjacently positioned panels positioned on an exterior surface of said cover, each of said panels being geometrically shaped wherein said panels are configured to represent a covering of a soccer ball. 
     
     
         14 . A convertible hat device comprising:
 a flexible cover, an opening extending into said cover for accessing an interior of said cover, said cover being positionable to form a primary ball having a circular perimeter edge;   a closure being attached to said cover and being actuated to a closed state closing said opening or to an opened state allowing access to said interior of said cover, said cover forming said primary ball when said closure is actuated to the closed state, said closure comprising a zipper;   a plurality of elongated tails coupled to said cover, each of said tails being flexible and positionable within said opening to store each of said tails within said interior of said cover, each of said tails including a base and a distal end with respect to said base, each said tail tapering inwardly from said base to said distal end, each of said tails curving from said base to said distal end, each of said tails extending circumferentially around said cover, said base of each said tail being aligned with said opening, each of said tails being positionable to extend outwardly above said opening, each of said tails having outer edges overlapping adjacently positioned ones of said outer edges;   a receiving space being formed proximate said base of said tails wherein said receiving space is configured to receive an entirety of said cover therein, said exterior surface of said cover forming a crown of a hat for receiving a head of a user therein when said cover is positioned within said receiving space;   a plurality of attachment members, each of said attachment members being coupled to an associated one of said tails at said distal end of said associated tail, each of said attachment members comprising a secondary ball, each of said secondary balls resembling a down-sized version of said primary ball; and   a plurality of adjacently positioned panels positioned on said exterior surface of said cover, each of said panels being geometrically shaped wherein said panels are configured to represent a covering of a soccer ball.
