Headgear with hidden storage compartments

Abstract

A headgear includes a plurality of panels on an interior surface, each panel separated from its immediately adjacent panels by a pair of seams. A compartment fabric covers a first panel and a second panel of the plurality of panels to form a compartment between the interior surface of the headgear and the compartment fabric. The compartment fabric is attached to a first seam of the first panel and a second seam of the second panel and includes a compartment seam that runs parallel to a middle seam that attaches the first panel and the second panel. The headgear further includes a closing mechanism positioned beneath a headband and that attaches to the compartment fabric to enable sealing of the compartment.

         8 . The headgear of  claim 1 , wherein the compartment fabric includes a seam positioned parallel to the second middle seam of the contiguous first and second triangular panels. 
     
     
         9 . A headgear, comprising:
 a plurality of panels disposed in an interior surface of the headgear; and   a compartment fabric that covers at a first panel and at least a second, contiguous panel of the plurality of panels to form a compartment between the interior surface of the headgear and the compartment fabric, wherein the compartment fabric includes at least one compartment seam that runs parallel to a middle seam that attaches the first panel to the second, contiguous panel.   
     
     
         10 . The headgear of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a closing mechanism attached to the at least one compartment fabric enabling sealing of the at least one compartment.   
     
     
         11 . The headgear of  claim 10 , wherein the closing mechanism is positioned beneath a headband along a circumference edge of the interior surface of the headgear. 
     
     
         12 . The headgear of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one compartment fabric is attached to the circumference edge of the interior surface of the headgear. 
     
     
         13 . The headgear of  claim 12 , wherein the compartment fabric is attached to a first seam of the first panel and a second seam of the second panel. 
     
     
         14 . The headgear of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of panels are triangular shaped panels and wherein vertices of the plurality of panels meet at a center point of the headgear and wherein panel edges opposite the vertices of the plurality of triangular panels are positioned along a circumference edge of the headgear. 
     
     
         15 . The headgear of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a second compartment fabric that covers a third panel and a fourth panel of the plurality of panels to form a second compartment between the interior surface of the headgear and the second compartment fabric, wherein the second compartment fabric is attached to a first seam of the third panel and a second seam of the fourth panel, and wherein the second compartment fabric includes a second compartment seam that runs parallel to a middle seam between the third panel and the fourth panel.   
     
     
         16 . A headgear, comprising:
 a plurality of contiguous panels disposed in the headgear, each panel separated from its immediately adjacent panels by a pair of seams; and   a compartment fabric that covers at least a first, second and third panels of the plurality of contiguous panels to form a compartment between an interior surface of the headgear and the compartment fabric, wherein the compartment fabric includes a first compartment seam that runs parallel to a first middle seam between the first panel and the second panel and a second compartment seam that runs parallel to a second middle seam between the second panel and the third panel.
