An assembly, comprising:
- an article of headwear having a pair of side regions and a bottom opening adapted for receiving a head of a user therein;
- a pair of ear pieces each having an elongate arm outwardly extending therefrom, each of said arms having a free end opposite the associated ear piece;
- said free end of one of said ear pieces being pivotally coupled to one of said side regions, said free end of the another of said ear pieces being pivotally coupled to another of said side regions;
- a first of said ear pieces having radio provided therein;
- and
- each of said ear pieces having a speaker electrically connected to said radio.
An assembly, comprising:
- an article of headwear comprising a cap having a pair of regions, an outwardly extending bill and a bottom opening adapted for receiving a head of a user therein;
- each of said side regions of said cap having a reinforcing panel therein;
- a pair of ear pieces;
- each of said ear pieces having an elongate arm outwardly extending therefrom, each of said arms having a free end opposite the associated ear piece;
- said free end of one of said ear pieces being pivotally coupled to one of said side regions of said cap, said free end of the another of said ear pieces being pivotally coupled to another of said side regions of said cap;
- said arms each having a hole therethrough adjacent said free end of the respective arm;
- a pair of generally hemispherical pivot studs each having a generally hemispherical arcuate face and a substantially planar and generally circular flat face;
- said flat face of each pivot stud having an generally cylindrical extent outwardly extending therefrom at a center of the respective flat face;
- said extent of each pivot stud terminating at a free tip and having a generally circular flange outwardly radiating therefrom and spaced apart from the tip of the respective extent and spaced apart the associated flat face of the respective pivot stud;
- said extent of each pivot stud being extended through said hole of the associated arm such that the associated arm is positioned between said flange of the respective extent and the associated flat face of the respective pivot stud to permit free rotation of each arm about the associated extent;
- each of said side regions of said cap having a hole extending therethrough and the associated reinforcing panel of the respective side region;
- a first of said extents being inserted into said hole of a first of said side regions of said cap, a second of said extents being inserted into said hole of a second of said side regions of said cap;
- said tip of each extent having a connecting bore therein;
- a pair of connectors each having an insertion portion and a generally disk-shaped head portion;
- said insertion portion of one of said connectors being inserted into said connecting bore of one of said extents, said insertion portion of another of said connectors being inserted into said connecting bore of another of said extents;
- a first of said ear pieces having radio provided therein;
- said first ear piece having a telescopically extendable antenna outwardly extending therefrom and electrically connected to said radio;
- each of said ear pieces having a speaker for projecting a sound therefrom;
- each of said ear pieces having an annular pad around said speaker adapted for abutting an ear region of a user, said pads of said ear pieces each comprising a resiliently deformable foamed material;
- said radio being electrically connected to said speakers;
- a first cable being electrically connected to and extended from said radio to said pivot stud of said arm of said first ear piece, said first cable having a free end extending into said connecting bore of extent of said pivot stud of said arm of said first ear piece;
- a second cable having a first end extending into said insertion portion of a first of said connectors and a second end extending into said insertion portion of a second of said connectors;
- said first end of said second cable being electrically connected to said free end of said first cable;
- a third cable being electrically connected to and extended from said speaker of said second ear piece, said third cable having a free end extending into said connecting bore of extent of said pivot stud of said arm of said second ear piece;
- and
- said second end of said second cable being electrically connected to said free end of said second cable to electrically connect said speaker of said second ear piece to said radio.
