Method and assembly for cushioning a person's head from headphones

A baseball cap assembly comprising:

• a crown having an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge, the upper surface being convexly shaped and the lower surface being concavely shaped, the perimeter edge including a front edge, a rear edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, the crown having an apex;
• a visor being attached to and extending along the front edge of the perimeter edge the visor having opposite lateral ends coupled to the front edge of the perimeter edge;
• the crown being comprised of a plurality of panels attached together, the plurality of panels including a central panel traversing a central area of the crown from the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge, the central panel forming at least a portion of each of the first and second lateral edges, the central panel including the apex, the central panel comprising a unitary member, the upper and lower surfaces of the central panel being smooth and the apex being free of attachments and protrusions;
• said central panel comprising a foam layer being encased in fabric outer layers;
• the plurality of panels including a front panel being attached to and extending between the visor and the central panel, a front seam being defined joining the front panel to the central panel;
• the plurality of panels including a rear panel being attached to the central panel and extending to the rear edge, a rear seam being defined joining the rear panel to the central panel;
• the crown being seamless between the front and rear seams;
• the front panel including a plurality of front panel sections;
• the rear panel including a plurality of rear panel sections;
• the central panel comprising a resiliently compressible material;
• and
• the central panel comprising an air permeable material.

A method of covering and cushioning a person's head from a headband of a pair of headphones, the method including the steps of:

• positioning a baseball cap assembly on a person's head, the baseball cap including a crown having an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge, the upper surface being convexly shaped and the lower surface being concavely shaped, the perimeter edge including a front edge, a rear edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, the crown having an apex, a visor being attached to and extending along the front edge of the perimeter edge, the crown being comprised of a plurality of panels attached together, the plurality of panels including a central panel traversing a central area of the crown from the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge, the central panel forming at least a portion of each of the first and second lateral edges, the central panel including the apex, the central panel comprising a unitary member, the upper and lower surfaces of the central panel being smooth and the apex being free of attachments and protrusions, the plurality of panels including a front panel being attached to each of and extending between the visor and the central panel, a front seam being defined joining the front panel to the central panel, the plurality of panels including a rear panel being attached to the central panel and extending to the rear edge, a rear seam being defined joining the rear panel to the central panel, the crown being seamless between the front and rear seams;
• and
• positioning a pair of headphones on the upper surface of the crown such that a headband of the headphones abuts and extends along the central panel and the apex.
