Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a cap with integrated seating boxes. Current status:
[0002] People often bring a seat cushion to outdoor events. This applies, for example, to football matches in stadiums, open-air events, or even to benches while hiking in nature. Due to the weather, these seats are often cold and wet, which can lead to a cold, or sitting there uncomfortably for extended periods without a cushion. Currently, in addition to the familiar seat cushion, there are also portable cushions for this purpose that fold up compactly and have a carrying strap for easy transport, or inflatable cushions that can be easily stored in a bag, for example. The disadvantage of these cushions is that they have to be carried by hand and are often forgotten at the event location, or they are generally very bulky and therefore cumbersome. Solution:
[0003] My invention concerns a special inflatable seat cushion integrated into a cap. This combines a cap, which can be designed in any style, with a comfortable seat cushion, thus offering a dual function as both a protective cap and a comfortable cushion. Designing the seat cushion to the size of the cap is insufficient for comfortable sitting, as the cap's diameter is significantly smaller than the buttocks. Therefore, the seating area is doubled by unfolding a second half of the cap, thus providing a seat adapted to the anatomy of the buttocks for both the left and right sides. This function is available without any visible impairment of the cap because the fold-out part... Fig.The inner cushion disappears into the top of the cap when it is put back on. The two cushions are inflated together via the connecting tube (2) and the valve (3). The valve is located on the side of the cap. When seated, i.e., open, it is positioned between the thighs. In this position, the air is released at the end of sitting. Body weight assists in squeezing out the air. Once the air is out, the cover of the loose cushion is folded and stored in the top of the cap, secured with a Velcro fastener for safety. From the outside, this cap's dual function is not apparent. Therefore, it can be worn in various designs for a wide range of events such as sports, concerts, and leisure activities.
[0004] For cleaning, the two connected cushions can be removed from the cap roof, as they are held in place there with a Velcro fastener.
