Methods and apparatus for a head covering may improve air circulation through any suitable head covering. Methods and apparatus for a head covering may comprise a base configured to fit around a wearer's head, a sidewall comprising a plurality of open cells configured to prevent light rays at or above a predetermined angle relative to the passageway of each cell from passing unobstructed through the cell, and a crown configured to close of the interior surface of the sidewall. The minimum depth of each cell may be determined based on the height of the cell, the angle at or above which the light rays are to obstructed, and the angle of the exterior cell opening. The cells may be arranged in the sidewall such that the lower surface of the passageway of each cell is substantially at the same angle with respect to a horizontal plane.

A device for allowing air to circulate into and out of a hat includes a base having an arcuate first side and a second side. The base (10) may be attached to a hat so the arcuate first side faces an inside surface of the hat (30). The second side of the base may also have at least one rib extending therefrom, allowing air to pass between the hat and a wearer's head. The base may also have at least one extended portion which may abut a bill extending from the hat, further allowing air to circulate into and out of a hat. A method of providing a vented hat includes the steps of providing a hat having a bill, providing an air circulation device, and attaching the device to the hat so the arcuate first side faces an inside surface of the hat. Thereby, air is allowed to pass between the inside surface of the hat and a wearer's head.

Cap (14) and vest (16) components of an animate body heat exchanger (12) designed to apply a controlled temperature to parts of a human body are described. The cap (14) and vest (16) components are often used in combination, and the interior side edges of the cap are curvilinear and intermesh lengthwise to assure that the portion of the head underlying the junction between such edges is subjected to the controlled temperature. The vest (16) includes not only a zipper (61) for application and removal, but also separate lacing for close fitting adjustment.

A device for allowing air to circulate is disclosed. An embodiment of the device has a base (13) having an arcuate first side (16) and a second side. The second side has a rib extending from the second side. The device also has a means for attaching the base to a hat (30). An alternative embodiment of the device is a vent having a first anchoring surface and a second anchoring surface. A truss extends from the first anchoring surface to the second anchoring surface. The devices described above may be used in a hat to allow air circulation. Another embodiment of the present invention is a vented hat having a corrugated head band. Finally, a method making a vented hat is disclosed.

A system for controlling the temperature, and relative humidity of the interior chamber of a respirator (10) is disclosed. In the embodiment preferred the system includes a body (12) configured to conform to the face of a user to form an interior chamber defined by the respirator body (12), and the face of the user. The system includes a sight region (14) in the upper portion of the body (12) through which the user can see. A thermoelectric module (22) having a first temperature plate, and a second temperature plate is interposed in the lower portion of the body (12) so that the first temperature plate contacts the interior chamber, and the second temperature plate contacts the external environment. A power source (24) provides DC current to the thermoelectric module (22) causing a temperature differential between the first temperature plate, and the second temperature plate. Preferably, the plates of the thermoelectric module (22) include a heat exchanger, and fans (50) for maximizing the efficiency of the thermoelectric module (22). The power source (24) includes means (54) for reversing polarity to reverse the temperature differential of the thermoelectric module, and means for modulation current to the thermoelectric module to control the temperature differential.

A protective helmet (H) for active use by a player in a sports activity, such as soccer, includes a shell (10) made of a soft material and which has the general configuration to fit a wearer's head. A device for stabilizing the shell on the wearer's head, such as a chin-strap (12), is operably connected to the shell. The shell includes a member (50) for allowing a player to actively deflect a ball during a play. The shell further includes a member (80) for dampening the force of impact by the ball over a head region of the wearer.

Baseball caps to be worn on a person's head are provided. According to one embodiment, a baseball cap includes a dome configured to be placed on the wearer's head, wherein the dome includes one or more panels and one or more cooling channels. The baseball cap also includes a hub positioned at a top of the dome. The hub comprises a central cavity and one or more conduits in gaseous communication with the one or more cooling channels of the dome. A coolant output port is provided in gaseous communication with the central cavity of the hub. The coolant output port is configured to supply a coolant gas to the one or more cooling channels of the dome via the central cavity of the hub.

A helmet apparatus for delivering temperature conditioned air including passively or actively coo!ed, heated, or ventilated air to the interior of a helmet is disclosed. A device housing which enshrouds a device for providing temperature conditioned air is placed on a rear portion of a helmet shell. The device housing has air inlets and air rejector vents for delivering fresh air to and removing heated air from the device, and is configured to reduce the heated air from re-entering the device through the air inlets. The helmet apparatus is designed to withstand impact forces without injuring the wearer.

The present invention provides a ventable ski hat for enabling a skier to selectively vent body heat, the ventable ski hat essentially comprising a superficial insulative fabric layer, a deep moisture-wicking fabric layer, zipper structure, a mesh fabric layer, and an insulative head band member. Together the superficial fabric layer and the deep fabric layer define a superior vent portion and an inferior crown-receiving portion. The superior vent portion comprises an anterior-superior portion, a posterior-superior portion and a selectively-ventable vent aperture. The zipper structure is located at the vent aperture for selectively venting the vent aperture. The zipper structure is medially aligned along a wearer's head in superior adjacency to the wearer's superior head surface, thus defining an insulative air layer. The zipper structure thus enables the wearer to selectively vent body heat from the insulative air layer.
