Abstract
A magnet support apparatus or cover that attaches to the adjustment band found in many baseball caps or similar headgear that includes a band that extends across the back of the head. In an example of the device, the invention includes a body having a pair of panels, namely a first panel and a second panel. The two panels are joined along an upper edge, and the second panel includes an attachment mechanism that cooperates with the first panel to support the device from the adjustment band.
Claims17
A cover device for use over an adjustment band on a hat, the adjustment band being of a width and extending along a lower edge of the hat, the cover device comprising:
- A first panel having an upper surface, a lower edge and an upper edge the first panel being adapted for extending over the adjustment band, so that the lower edge of the first panel and the upper edge of the first panel are separated by a distance that is approximately equal to the width of the adjustment band;
- A magnet supported from said first panel;
- A second panel, the second panel having an external surface, most of the external surface of the second panel extend from the first panel in a non-overlapping manner, a lower edge and an upper edge, the upper edge of the first panel being joined to the upper edge of the second panel, the lower edge of the second panel being adapted for cooperating with the lower edge of the first panel so that the cover device is supported around the adjustment band.
A cover device for supporting a magnet against a person's head, the cover device being adapted for use over an adjustment band on a hat, the adjustment band being of a width and extending along a lower edge of the hat, the cover device comprising:
- A first panel having an upper surface, a lower edge and an upper edge, the first panel being adapted for extending over at least a portion the adjustment band;
- At least one magnet mounted from the first panel;
- and
- A second panel, the second panel having an external surface, a lower edge and an upper edge, the upper edge of the first panel being joined to the upper edge of the second panel in a manner that allows the second panel to extend beyond the first panel, so that the second panel is not entirely overlapped by the first panel, the lower edge of the second panel being adapted for cooperating with the lower edge of the first panel so that the cover device is supported around the adjustment band.
A method for adapting a hat so that the hat serves to expose selected areas of a person's head to a magnetic field, the hat having,an opening for accepting a persons head and an adjustment strap for adjusting the hat for accommodating the person's head, the method comprising:
- providing a cover device comprising:
- A first panel having an upper surface, a lower edge and an upper edge, the first panel being adapted for extending over the adjustment band, so that the lower edge of the first panel and the upper edge of the first panel are separated by a distance that is approximately equal to the width of the adjustment band;
- A second panel, the second panel having an external surface, a lower edge and an upper edge, the upper edge of the first panel being joined to the upper edge of the second panel, the lower edge of the second panel being adapted for releasable attachment to the lower edge of the first panel;
- supporting at least one magnet with said first panel;
- placing said cover device over the adjustment strap so that the first panel and the second panel straddle the adjustment strap, and said first panel is closer to the opening for accepting a person's head than the second panel.
