Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention is a hat characterized by having two lidded pockets that protrude from the outside, so that it feels comfortable when worn and can store multiple items. [Background technology]
[0002] Children, especially those in the lower grades of elementary school, are prone to getting lost when their parents leave them unattended. In department stores, they can be protected by store staff and returned to their parents through announcements, but this is not the case when hiking in the mountains or fields.
[0003] Carrying a security alarm or GPS transmitter allows for quick location detection and early protection if the child gets lost. However, giving your child items that they don't normally carry can lead to them forgetting or losing them. Putting them in a pocket can also limit space for things they should carry, such as handkerchiefs and tissues.
[0004] The problem can be solved if you can provide a dedicated pocket for storing a security alarm, transmitter, etc. in your clothing and belongings when going hiking, etc. By selecting clothing and belongings that have an important purpose and always wearing them, you can prevent forgetting them.
[0005] Therefore, we decided to add a pocket to the hat to protect the head when outdoors. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0006] [Patent Document 1] Document number: Utility model registration number 3248664 Registration date: September 30, 2024 Name of invention: Hat with ice pack storage pocket
[0007] However, in Patent Document 1, items are stored directly above the hat, on the top of the head, which makes it feel heavy and uncomfortable when worn. Depending on the shape of the stored item, the corners may cause pain. Also, if there is only one pocket, there is a risk that the stored item will break if the hat falls over and become unusable. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0008] The inventor considered whether it would be possible to add a function to a hat, which is originally a device for protecting the head, to store an item that would transmit one's location in case one gets lost.
[0009] (1) It does not impair the original function and does not cause any discomfort or foreign body sensation when worn. (2) Since this function is related to human life, such as when a child gets lost in the mountains, redundancy must be ensured. (3) Considering that it is a hat for children, it should have a cute appearance and a soft shape. (4) Do not use special raw materials, taking into consideration costs and productivity. (5) No complicated procedures are required for use. As a result, two spaced-apart, horizontally spaced pockets with lids were placed on the outside of the hat, giving it an appearance reminiscent of an animal's face, and since items are stored on the outside, the hat is designed to reduce discomfort when worn. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] The two pockets on the outside are spaced apart and placed side by side, creating a shape reminiscent of animal ears. Since there are two pockets, it is possible to store multiple items that can communicate your location, such as a security alarm or GPS transmitter. The pockets are redundant, meaning that if one is damaged or malfunctions, the other will still function.
[0011] The pockets are spaced apart and placed to avoid the top of the head. This prevents the weight from being directly placed on the head. There is some feeling of pressure due to the items on the outside, but this is within the acceptable range, as women often wear hair accessories at an angle above the head.
[0012] By adding animal face parts, children will become more attached to the hat and will not let it go, which will prevent them from forgetting it or forgetting to wear it.
[0013] The specific features of the hat with a flared pocket according to the present invention are as follows. [1] This hat features two lidded pockets spaced apart from each other and an animal face part. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] According to the hat with a protruding pocket of this invention, - By placing a device that will notify others of your location in the special pocket, you can be rescued quickly if you get lost. -Two pockets allow you to store multiple tools, ensuring redundancy. The two pockets placed on the outside are reminiscent of animal ears, and the animal face parts give it a cute appearance that is more suitable for children. · People tend to feel attached to cute-looking items, which in turn helps prevent them from forgetting things. You can easily expect excellent results. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0015] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing one embodiment of a hat with a bulging pocket according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] For the purpose of explaining the present invention, the following terms are defined: Transmitting device: A relatively small device that lets people know your location. There are things you can use yourself, like a whistle or a security alarm, and things that automatically transmit constantly, like a GPS transmitter. Animal face parts: Parts designed to resemble animal facial features such as noses, eyes, and mouths.
[0017] The hat with a bulging pocket of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 as an example and with appropriate reference to the drawings.
[0018] Two pockets 12 are attached side by side with a gap between them on the top of the hat body 11. Since there are two pockets 12, multiple transmitters can be stored. The two pockets are spaced apart, ensuring redundancy in case of damage or malfunction due to a fall or the like.
[0019] The pocket 12 has an opening at the bottom, and the transmitter is put in and taken out from inside the hat body 11. The pocket 12 is provided with a lid 13 to prevent the transmitter from falling out or dropping.
[0020] If the lid 13 is made of a stretchable material such as knit fabric or rubber band, the gap between the hat body 11 and the lid 13 can be temporarily widened to allow insertion and removal.
[0021] By providing the animal face parts 14, the entire hat can be designed to look more appealing to children, such as a dog, cat, or little bear. A design that children can relate to will make them want to keep it, which helps prevent them from forgetting to put it on or put it away.
[0022] Pocket 12 can hold not only the transmitter but also spare batteries for the transmitter, notes with names and emergency contacts, etc. Items that can be damaged by water, such as batteries and notes, can be stored in a plastic bag to prevent damage. [Explanation of symbols]
