Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a daily-used item, and more
particularly to a hat.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In the prior art, a hat with an MP3 music player includes a
hat body and an MP3 main unit. Two earphones are symmetrically
disposed at two sides of the hat body. The MP3 main unit is
connected to the two earphones through wires. The earphones and the
hat body are connected through three folding arms. The folding arms
are movably connected through ball joints and ball cups fitting
each other. The earphone at one side is movably connected to the
MP3 main unit through a ball joint and a ball cup fitting each
other. The earphone at the other side is also movably connected to
a connecting plate through a ball joint and a ball cup fitting each
other. Fixing plates are disposed at two sides within the hat body
respectively. Each of the two fixing plates is connected to the MP3
main unit and the connecting plate through a screw passing through
the hat body. The MP3 main unit is connected to the earphones
through wires. The folding arms are movable. The defects of the
prior art are as follows. The MP3 main unit and the earphones are
connected through wires, which may cause inconveniences in use. In
addition, the earphones are devices with circuits, which are unable
to be taken off from the hat conveniently, thus causing troubles
for hat washing.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention is directed to a hat to which an MP3
music player is connectable, so that the hat and the MP3 music
player can be rapidly assembled and disassembled, thus ensuring
convenient use.
[0004] To achieve the above objective, the hat to which an MP3
music player is connectable includes a hat body. An earphone is
respectively disposed at two sides of the hat body. Connecting
joints are disposed at outer sides of positions corresponding to
human ears on the hat body. Connecting pieces corresponding to the
connecting joints are disposed on the earphones. A connecting wire
between the two earphones is disposed within the hat body. A slot
for accommodating the MP3 music player is provided on the earphone
at either of the two sides. An input plug of the earphones is
disposed in the slot. The input plug is electrically connected to
the earphone at the corresponding side.
[0005] When the device is used, the MP3 music player can be
connected to the input plug in the slot, so that no connecting wire
is exposed outside the hat and other objects are not likely to get
entangled with the wires, thus ensuring reliable use. The MP3
player can be pulled out at any time and used as a normal MP3 music
player. The earphones at the two sides may also be separated from
the hat body; therefore, only the connecting joints are left on the
hat body and no circuit or wire exists on the surface of the hat,
which is neat and clean. The device is convenient to use and easy
to be connected and assembled, so that the device is applicable in
hats such as knit hats and baseball caps.
[0006] For the comfort of ears, the connecting joints are made of a
soft material. The soft material may be rubber or silica gel.
