The present invention relates to a headwear accessories, specifically a water-dripping hat made of silicone, designed to provide cooling and comfort to the wearer.
In hot weather or during physical activities, individuals often seek ways to cool down and maintain comfort. Wearing a hat or cap during the summer season can provide several benefits like sun protection, eye protection, temperature regulation, comfort and fashion statement. Hats or caps with wide brims or visors can effectively shield your face, ears, and neck from direct sunlight. They provide an additional layer of protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, reducing the risk of sunburn, skin damage, and potential long-term consequences like skin cancer. Hats with brims or caps with visors can also help in protecting your eyes from the sun's glare. They create a shadow over your eyes, reducing the strain caused by bright sunlight and decreasing the risk of conditions like photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye) and eye fatigue. Hats made from breathable materials like straw, cotton, or linen can help keep your head cooler in hot weather. They provide shade, prevent direct exposure to sunlight, and allow airflow, which can minimize heat buildup on your scalp and help regulate body temperature. Wearing a hat or cap can offer added comfort during summer activities by absorbing sweat from your forehead, preventing it from running into your eyes. Some hats also come with built-in sweatbands that can help keep you feeling dry and more comfortable in hot and humid conditions. Hats and caps can be stylish accessories that add a touch of personality to your summer outfits. They come in various shapes, sizes and designs, allowing you to express your fashion sense while staying protected from your sun.
While various cooling devices exist, there is a need for a wearable and self-regulating solution that provides localized cooling to the head. The current invention addresses this need by utilizing a water storage and dripping mechanism integrated into a silicone hat, delivering a consistent cooling effect.
The present invention relates to a water-dripping hat made entirely of silicone, designed to keep the wearer cool and comfortable on hot days or any desired day. The hat incorporates a unique system that stores water, maintains a cool internal temperature, and allows water to drip down from the top to provide a cooling effect to the wearer's head. The hat also includes a silicone box for water storage and temperature regulation, along with additional options for covering the hat with stretchy cloth or lambskin leather for added comfort and luxury.
The water-dripping hat comprises a durable and flexible silicone material that allows for optimal functionality and wearer comfort. The hat consists of multiple horizontal silicone layers, with a series of holes strategically placed from the top to the bottom layer. These holes enable water to travel by the force of gravity through the hat, starting from the topmost layer and reaching the wearer's head.
To facilitate water storage, the hat includes a dedicated silicone box located on the second horizontal layer. This box is equipped with four silicone plugs that assist in controlling, directing, and storing the water within. A hole on the silicone box allows water to enter and exit as guided by natural forces, creating a continuous cycling of water when more water is poured into the hat.
The silicone box plays a crucial role in maintaining the temperature of the water stored within the hat. By leveraging the natural cooling properties of silicone, the box helps regulate the water temperature, ensuring that it remains cool and refreshing. This temperature regulatory effect further enhances the cooling sensation experienced by the wearer.
To provide additional comfort, the water-dripping hat is optionally covered with a dri-fit stretchy cloth material. The cloth material is available in various colors, allowing for customization and personalization. For those seeking a more luxurious option, the hat can also be wrapped in lambskin leather, which offers enhanced comfort and a touch of elegance.
The water-dripping hat offers several advantages over existing cooling solutions. These may include but not limited to:
In summary, the water-dripping hat made completely of silicone described herein presents an innovative and effective solution for cooling and comfort. Its unique design, water storage system, and self-regulating dripping mechanism provide a refreshing and enjoyable experience for the wearer, making it an ideal accessory for hot weather or any desired occasion.

Additional features and advantages of the invention will be outlined in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the invention. These and other features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description or may be learned by the practice of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular,
Referring to
The hat features a series of strategically placed holes along its surface, from the top to the bottom, allowing water to drip down in a controlled manner. By taking advantage of gravity, the water travels from the topmost horizontal silicone layer 114 and exits the hat, making contact with the wearer's head and providing a cooling sensation.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the water is filled from the hole 102 present on the top of the hat causing the water to drip down and collect in first horizontal silicone layer 114. The said first horizontal silicone layer has a hole 106 through which water drips down to second horizontal silicone layer 116 that comprise an enclosed silicone box 107 attached to the second horizontal layer 116 of the hat to regulate the water flow and storage. Within the silicon box 104, four or more silicon plugs are positioned to control, direct, and store water effectively and a central hole located on each plug allows the water to enter and exit, guided by natural forces, ensuring a regulated and balanced flow to third horizontal silicon layer 118 through hole 110. The third horizontal silicone layer transfers dripping water to fourth horizontal layer 120 that is in contact with top of the hat through hole 112 to provide cooling sensation.
The silicone box 104 also contributes to temperature regulation within the hat. By allowing water to cycle in and out of the box, the internal temperature of the hat remains cool, maintaining a comfortable experience for the wearer. When additional water is poured into the hat, the silicone box facilitates the distribution and storage of the water, ensuring a steady supply for the dripping mechanism.
To enhance comfort and aesthetics, the hat is wrapped in dri-fit stretchy cloth material. The cloth material provides a soft and breathable layer against the wearer's head, further contributing to comfort during extended use. In certain versions, the hat is additionally wrapped in lambskin leather, adding a touch of luxury while maintaining the desired cooling and comfort effects.
Wearing a silicon hat that drips water onto the user's head can provide some unique benefits, particularly in hot weather or during physical activities. Here are a few potential advantages:
Overall, the water-dripping hat presents a unique and innovative solution for cooling and comfort.
