Abstract
A reversible cover apparatus comprises a cover portion having an opening configured for receiving an object to cover the object and a pouch portion coupled to the cover portion, the pouch portion having an opening for receiving the cover portion. The reversible cover apparatus is reversible between: a first position as a covering for an object wherein the pouch portion is disposed in the cover portion and the cover portion opening can receive an object to cover the object; and a reversed, second position, wherein the cover portion is disposed within the pouch portion through the pouch portion opening and an outer surface of the pouch portion provides an external appearance of a desired item.

A reversible hat, comprising:
- a hat portion having an inner surface and an outer surface, the hat portion tapering from a lower portion proximate an edge to an upper portion proximate a crown;
- and
- a pouch portion having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the pouch portion comprises a four-pointed flower shaped pattern comprising the outer surface and the inner surface, the four-pointed flower shaped pattern comprising:
- a first petal, a second petal, a third petal, and a fourth petal, wherein adjacent sides of the first petal and the second petal are fixedly attached, wherein adjacent sides of the third petal and the fourth petal are fixedly attached;
- wherein the hat portion is coupled to the pouch portion, the pouch portion having an opening for receiving the hat portion;
- wherein the reversible hat is reversible between a first position as a head covering configured to receive a head of a user and a second position as a ball, wherein in the second position the hat portion is disposed within the pouch portion;
- wherein in the first position an outer surface of the hat portion is disposed outwardly;
- and
- wherein in the second position an outer surface of the pouch portion is disposed outwardly, the peripheries of the pouch portion opening are attached to close the opening, such that the hat portion is disposed within the outer surface of the pouch portion;
- wherein a first fastener detachably attaches adjacent sides of the first petal and the third petal, and wherein the first fastener extends between the first petal and the third petal;
- wherein a second fastener detachably attaches adjacent sides of the second petal and the fourth petal, and wherein the second fastener extends between the second petal and the fourth petal;
- wherein the inner surface of the pouch portion is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the hat portion proximate the crown;
- wherein in the first position the outer surface of the hat portion is disposed outwardly, the adjacent sides of the first petal and the third petal are not attached, and the adjacent sides of the second petal and the fourth petal are not attached;
- wherein in the second position the outer surface of the pouch portion is disposed outwardly, the adjacent sides of the first petal and the third petal are detachably attached, the adjacent sides of the second petal and the fourth petal are detachably attached to form a prolate spheroid, and the hat portion is disposed within the outer surface of the four-pointed flower shaped pattern as a bladder of the prolate spheroid;
- and
- wherein the reversible hat is capable of being converted from the first position to the second position by the user and vice versa.
