Headwear support assembly and method

Abstract

A headwear support assembly that not only supports one's favorite headwear, but also has the appearance of a character wearing the headwear, bringing the headwear to life, includes one or more bases, which may be in the configuration of feet and/or shoes, one or more legs supported by the one or more bases, and a dome supported by the one or more legs. The dome receives one's headwear to support and store the headwear.

1 . A headwear support assembly, comprising:
 one or more bases;   one or more legs supported by the one or more bases;   a headwear support supported by the one or more legs and configured to support headwear thereon at an incline relative to horizontal.   
     
     
         2 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more bases include a pair of bases in the configuration of feet and/or shoes. 
     
     
         3 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the headware support includes a flat lower surface. 
     
     
         4 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the headware support, including the flat lower surface, is inclined upwardly relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         5 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the headware support, including the flat lower surface, is at a minimum angle of 10 degrees relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         6 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the headware support, including the flat lower surface, is at a maximum angle of 20 degrees relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         7 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the headware support, including the flat lower surface, is at a maximum angle of 15 degrees relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         8 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the headware support includes a crown with a magnet configured to attract metal in headwear to keep the headwear centered on the crown, at the incline relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         9 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more bases include a pair of bases in the configuration of feet and/or shoes, and the one or more bases, the one or more legs supported by the one or more bases, and the headware support have a configuration of a baseball player. 
     
     
         10 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more bases include a pair of bases in the configuration of feet and/or shoes, and the one or more bases, the one or more legs supported by the one or more bases, and the headware support have a configuration of one of a football player, a hockey player, a basketball player, and a soccer player. 
     
     
         11 . The headwear support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more bases include a pair of bases in the configuration of feet and/or shoes, and the one or more bases, the one or more legs supported by the one or more bases, and the headware support have a configuration of one of an animated character and a musical performer. 
     
     
         12 . A method of using the headwear support assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more bases include a pair of bases in the configuration of feet and/or shoes, the one or more legs include a pair of legs, the method comprising receiving the headwear on the headware support so that the pair of bases in the configuration of feet and/or shoes, the pair of legs, and the headwear on the headware support give the appearance of a character wearing the headwear. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the headware support is angled at a minimum angle of 10 degrees relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the headware support is angled at a maximum angle of 20 degrees relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the headware support is angled at a maximum angle of 15 degrees relative to horizontal. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the headware support includes a crown with a magnet configured to attract metal in headwear to keep the headwear centered on the crown, and the method further comprising attracting metal in the headwear with the magnet in the headware support to keep the headwear centered on the crown. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the headware support is angled relative to horizontal.
