Abstract

An apparatus for attachment to headgear is disclosed including a plurality of headgear pads each having a sloped shape, each headgear pad having a base, an apex and a sloped portion connected between the base and apex, wherein the base is adapted to be physically attached to the headgear. Also disclosed is a method for attaching a plurality of headgear pads to headgear for use by a wearer, the method including selecting a pattern for placement of the plurality of headgear pads onto the headgear, marking the headgear with the pattern, attaching a first headgear pad selected from a plurality of headgear pads to the headgear in accordance to the marking and continuing attaching headgear pads until the pattern is complete.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for attachment to headgear, comprising:
 a plurality of headgear pads having a sloped shape, each headgear pad having a base, an apex and a sloped portion connected between the base and the apex, wherein the base is adapted to be physically attached to the headgear.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein at least one headgear pad is conical in shape. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein at least one headgear pad is selected from one of pyramidal and hemispherical in shape. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein the base of at least one headgear pad is concave. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein the base of at least one headgear pad is flat. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein the apex of at least one headgear pad is a sharp point. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein the apex of at least one headgear pad is rounded. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein the apex of at least one headgear pad contains an aperture. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein at least one headgear pad is formed from a material selected from one of polyurethane foam (flexible), polyurethane foam (memory), urethane, plastic with rubber coating, medium weight plastic, a lightweight plastic mix, rubber and jelled substances. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 1 , wherein at least one headgear pad is formed from a material selected from at least two of polyurethane foam (flexible), polyurethane foam (memory), urethane, plastic with rubber coating, medium weight plastic, a lightweight plastic mix, rubber and jelled substances. 
     
     
         11 . An apparatus for attachment to headgear, comprising:
 a plurality of headgear pads having a conical shape, each headgear pad having a base, an apex and a sloped portion connected between the base and the apex, wherein the base is adapted to be physically attached to the headgear.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 11 , wherein the base of at least one headgear pad is concave. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 11 , wherein the base of at least one headgear pad is flat. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 11 , wherein the apex of at least one headgear pad is a sharp point. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 11 , wherein the apex of at least one headgear pad is rounded. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 11 , wherein the apex of at least one headgear pad contains an aperture. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 11 , wherein at least one headgear pad is formed from a material selected from one of polyurethane foam (flexible), polyurethane foam (memory), urethane, plastic with rubber coating, medium weight plastic, a lightweight plastic mix, rubber and jelled substances. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus for attachment to headgear of  claim 11 , wherein at least one headgear pad is formed from a material selected from at least two of polyurethane foam (flexible), polyurethane foam (memory), urethane, plastic with rubber coating, medium weight plastic, a lightweight plastic mix, rubber and jelled substances. 
     
     
         19 . A method for attaching a plurality of headgear pads to headgear for use by a wearer, the method comprising the steps of:
 selecting a pattern for placement of the plurality of headgear pads onto the headgear;   marking the headgear with the pattern;   attaching a first headgear pad selected from a plurality of headgear pads to the headgear in accordance to the marking; and   continuing attaching headgear pads until the pattern is complete.   
     
     
         20 . The method for attaching a plurality of headgear pads to headgear for use by a wearer of  claim 19 , wherein the pattern specifies each headgear pad is conical and to be placed in contact with at least one other headgear pad onto the headgear.
