(54)	CAP CAPABLE OF INSERTING MP3 MUSIC PLAYER

(57) A hat to which an MP3 music player is connectable in the field of daily-used items is provided, which includes a hat body. An earphone is respectively disposed at two sides of the hat body. Connecting joints are disposed at outer sides of positions corresponding to human ears on the hat body. Connecting pieces corresponding to the connecting joints are disposed on the earphones. A connecting wire between the two earphones is disposed within the hat body. A slot for accommodating the MP3 music player is provided on the earphone at either of the two sides. An input plug of the earphones is disposed in the slot. The input plug is electrically connected to the earphone at the corresponding side. When the device is used, the MP3 music player can be connected to the input plug in the slot and no connecting wire is exposed outside. The earphones at the two sides can be pulled out from the connecting joints, so that only the connecting joints are left on the hat body, which is neat and clean. The MP3 music player may also be pulled out for separate use. The device is convenient to use and easy to be connected and assembled, so that the device is applicable in knit hats and baseball caps.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a daily-used item, and more particularly to a hat.

Related Art

[0002] In the prior art, a hat with an MP3 music player includes a hat body and an MP3 main unit. Two earphones are symmetrically disposed at two sides of the hat body. The MP3 main unit is connected to the two earphones through wires. The earphones and the hat body are connected through three folding arms. The folding arms are movably connected through ball joints and ball cups fitting each other. The earphone at one side is movably connected to the MP3 main unit through a ball joint and a ball cup fitting each other. The earphone at the other side is also movably connected to a connecting plate through a ball joint and a ball cup fitting each other. Fixing plates are disposed at two sides within the hat body respectively. Each of the two fixing plates is connected to the MP3 main unit and the connecting plate through a screw passing through the hat body. The MP3 main unit is connected to the earphones through wires. The folding arms are movable. The defects of the prior art are as follows. The MP3 main unit and the earphones are connected through wires, which may cause inconveniences in use. In addition, the earphones are devices with circuits, which are unable to be taken off from the hat conveniently, thus causing troubles for hat washing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention is directed to a hat to which an MP3 music player is connectable, so that the hat and the MP3 music player can be rapidly assembled and disassembled, thus ensuring convenient use.

[0004] To achieve the above objective, the hat to which an MP3 music player is connectable includes a hat body. An earphone is respectively disposed at two sides of the hat body. Connecting joints are disposed at outer sides of positions corresponding to human ears on the hat body. Connecting pieces corresponding to the connecting joints are disposed on the earphones. A connecting wire between the two earphones is disposed within the hat body. A slot for accommodating the MP3 music player is provided on the earphone at either of the two sides. An input plug of the earphones is disposed in the slot. The input plug is electrically connected to the earphone at the corresponding side.

[0005] When the device is used, the MP3 music player can be connected to the input plug in the slot, so that no connecting wire is exposed outside the hat and other objects are not likely to get entangled with the wires, thus ensuring reliable use. The MP3 player can be pulled out at any time and used as a normal MP3 music player. The earphones at the two sides may also be separated from the hat body; therefore, only the connecting joints are left on the hat body and no circuit or wire exists on the surface of the hat, which is neat and clean. The device is convenient to use and easy to be connected and assembled, so that the device is applicable in hats such as knit hats and baseball caps.

[0006] For the comfort of ears, the connecting joints are made of a soft material. The soft material may be rubber or silica gel.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0007] The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below for illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:

[0008] In the figures, 1: hat body; 2: connecting wire; 3, 6: earphone; 4: slot; 5: input plug; 7, 10: connecting piece; and 8, 9: connecting joint.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] As shown in FIGs. 1 and 2, earphones 3, 6 are disposed at two sides of a hat body 1 respectively. Connecting joints 8, 9 are disposed at outer sides of positions corresponding to human ears on the hat body 1. Connecting pieces 7, 10 corresponding to the connecting joints 8, 9 are disposed on the earphones 3, 6. A connecting wire 2 between the two earphones 3, 6 is disposed within the hat body. A slot 4 for accommodating an MP3 music player is provided on the earphone 3 at one side. An input plug 5 of the earphones is disposed in the slot 4. The input plug 5 is electrically connected to the earphone 3 at the corresponding side.

[0010] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The earphones may also be connected to the hat by means of inserting, sewing, and riveting.
