Hat systems

Abstract

A hat system relating to reducing and/or eliminating physical interferences between hat bills and eyewear by the introduction of strategic hat bill cutouts along the periphery of the bill as a means for providing additional physical clearance for user-chosen eyewear. Additionally, users of the preferred hat system may also take advantage of bill cutouts as a means to secure eyewear on the face during sports, or other moments of high activity. Further, the hat system incorporates a camouflage covering to camouflage such strategic hat bill cutouts. Even further, the hat system provides unique design elements provided by geometrically-shaped bill cutouts in combination with, or without, coverings.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ) A system, relating to permitting a wearer to contemporaneously wear headwear and eyewear occupying at least one co-location, comprising:
 a) at least one headwear bill structured and arranged to assist shade-cover to at least one portion of the face of the wearer;   b) wherein said at least one headwear bill comprises at least one accommodator structured and arranged to accommodate at least one portion of the eyewear in the at least one co-location;   c) wherein, when the wearer is contemporaneously wearing said at least one headwear bill and the eyewear, such contemporaneous wearing is accommodated;   d) wherein without said at least one accommodator said at least one headwear bill would interfere with the contemporaneous wearing of the eyewear; and   e) wherein removal of the headwear from the head of the wearer leaves the eyewear in place on the wearer.   
     
     
         2 ) The system, according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one accommodator comprises at least one restrainer structured and arranged to restrain at least one portion of the eyewear. 
     
     
         3 ) The system, according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one restrainer is structured and arranged to assist maintaining the eyewear on the wearer during wearer physical activity. 
     
     
         4 ) The system, according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one restrainer comprises at least two friction-resister elements structured and arranged to assist restraint of the eyewear by friction resistance along at least two points on the eyewear. 
     
     
         5 ) The system, according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one camouflage element structured and arranged to camouflage said at least one accommodator. 
     
     
         6 ) The system, according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one accommodator comprises at least two notches, situate opposed along at least one periphery of said at least one headwear bill, structured and arranged to accommodate at least opposed eyewear portions. 
     
     
         7 ) The system, according to  claim 6 , wherein each of said at least two notches resemble at least a shark fin geometry. 
     
     
         8 ) The system according to  claim 6  further comprising at least one camouflage element structured and arranged to at least camouflage said at least two notches. 
     
     
         9 ) The system, according to  claim 8 , wherein each of said at least two notches resemble at least a shark fin geometry. 
     
     
         10 ) The system, according to  claim 9 , wherein:
 a) said at least one headwear bill comprises an upper portion and a lower portion; and   b) said at least one camouflage element covers at least said upper portion of said at least one headwear bill.   
     
     
         11 ) A system, relating to permitting wearer to contemporaneously wear headwear and eyewear occupying at least one co-location, comprising:
 a) headwear structured and arranged to be worn on the head of the wearer;   b) wherein said headwear comprises at least one headwear bill structured and arranged to provide shade to at least one portion of the face of the wearer;   c) wherein said at least one headwear bill comprises at least two opposite-side portions structured and arranged to
 i) position adjacent the eyewear, and 
 ii) drop from a position above an upper edge of the eyewear to a position below the upper edge of the eyewear and in front of the eyewear; 
   d) wherein said at least two opposite-side portions each comprise at least one accommodator structured and arranged to accommodate at least one portion of the eyewear in the at least one co-location;   e) wherein without said at least one accommodator said at least one headwear bill would interfere with the contemporaneous wearing of the eyewear and the headwear.   
     
     
         12 ) The system, according to  claim 11 , wherein each said at least one accommodator comprises at least one notch, situate opposite along at least one periphery of said at least one headwear bill, structured and arranged to accommodate at least two opposed eyewear portions. 
     
     
         13 ) The system, according to  claim 12 , wherein said headwear bill further comprises at least one camouflage element structured and arranged to camouflage said at least one accommodator. 
     
     
         14 ) The system, according to  claim 13 , wherein said at least one camouflage element is structured and arranged to at least camouflage said at least one notch. 
     
     
         15 ) The system, according to  claim 14 , wherein said at least one notch resembles at least a shark fin geometry. 
     
     
         16 ) The system, according to  claim 15 , wherein:
 a) said headwear bill comprises an upper portion and a lower portion; and   b) said at least one camouflage element covers at least said upper portion of said headwear bill.   
     
     
         17 ) The system, according to  claim 16 , wherein said at least one accommodator comprises at least one restrainer structured and arranged to restrain at least one portion of the eyewear. 
     
     
         18 ) The system, according to  claim 17 , wherein said at least one restrainer is structured and arranged to assist maintaining the eyewear on the wearer during wearer physical activity. 
     
     
         19 ) The system, according to  claim 18 , wherein said at least one restrainer comprises at least two friction-resister elements structured and arranged to assist restraint of the eyewear by friction resistance along at least two points along the eyewear rims. 
     
     
         20 ) A system, relating to permitting at least one user to contemporaneously wear headwear and eyewear—normally occupying at least one co-location, comprising:
 a) headwear-bill means for assisting cover to at least one portion of at least one face of the user; 
 b) wherein said headwear-bill means comprises accommodator means for accommodating at least one portion of the eyewear in the at least one co-location; 
 c) wherein, when the user is contemporaneously wearing said headwear-bill means and the at least one portion of the eyewear, such contemporaneous wearing is accommodated; and 
 d) wherein without said accommodator means, said headwear-bill means would interfere with the contemporaneous wearing of the eyewear; and 
 e) wherein removal of the headwear from the head of the wearer leaves the eyewear in place on the wearer.
