Abstract
An ear warmer includes a frame with a first band and a second band coupled to the frame. The first band includes a first ear portion coupled thereto. The second band includes a second ear portion coupled thereto. The first band and the second band can be adjusted relative to each other to adjust the overall length of the band and the distance between the first ear portion and the second ear portion.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an ear warmer shell having a first side and a second side, the ear warmer shell including a first membrane defining the first side of the ear warmer shell, the first membrane having a first ear portion, a second ear portion, and a middle portion, a length of the first side of the ear warmer shell defined by an outermost portion of the first ear portion and an outermost portion of the second ear portion,
- the second side of the ear warmer shell including a second membrane coupled to at least a portion of the first membrane, a length of the second side of the ear warmer shell defined by the outermost portion of the first ear portion of the first side and the outermost portion of the second ear portion of the first side, the length of the second side of the ear warmer shell shorter than the length of the first side of the ear warmer shell;
- and
- an ear warmer frame at least partially disposed between the first membrane and the second membrane.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- disposing a first membrane configured to define at least a portion of a first side of an ear warmer shell with a second membrane configured to define at least a portion of a second side of the ear warmer shell, the second side of the ear warmer shell having a size smaller than the size of the first side of the ear warmer shell, the second side of the ear warmer having a shape substantially similar to a shape of the first side of the ear warmer shell;
- gathering the first membrane such that a perimeter portion of the first membrane is aligned with a perimeter portion of the second membrane;
- coupling, after the gathering, the first membrane to the second membrane;
- and
- disposing at least a portion of an ear warmer frame between the first membrane and the second membrane.
2 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- an ear warmer frame having a curved portion such a length of a first side of the ear warmer frame differs from a length of a second side of the ear warmer frame;
- an ear warmer shell having a first side coupled to a second side along a collective perimeter portion, a length of the first side of the ear warmer shell differs from a length of the second side of the ear warmer shell based on the length of the first side of the ear warmer frame differing from the length of the second side of the ear warmer frame.
