The disclosure relates to battery charger systems and more particularly pertains to a new battery charger system for using solar panels attached to a baseball hat.
The prior art relates to battery charger systems and includes a variety of battery charger systems receiving electricity from solar panels attached to a baseball hat. Known prior art does not include a battery charger system including a universal serial bus port for receiving a universal serial bus plug of a charging cord.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a baseball hat including a crown configured for removably abutting a forehead of a user. A brim is attached to the crown and a universal serial bus port is coupled to the baseball hat and is configured for receiving a universal serial bus plug of a charging cord for an electronic device. A crown solar panel is attached to the crown of the baseball hat and is electrically coupled to the universal serial bus port. A brim solar panel is attached to the brim of the baseball hat and is electrically coupled to the universal serial bus port.
Another embodiment of the disclosure comprises a method of inserting a head of a user within a head space of a baseball hat and engaging with a closure of the baseball hat to secure the baseball hat to the head of the user. A universal serial bus plug of a charging cord for an electronic device is inserted into a universal serial bus port and a crown solar panel is positioned within sunlight wherein the crown solar panel provides electric power to the charging cord.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A closure 26 is typically coupled to the fabric panels 20 and is configured for adjusting a diameter 28 of the baseball hat 12 wherein the closure secures the baseball hat 12 to the head 24 of the user 16 by tightening the diameter 28 upon the head 24 of the user 16. The closure 26 normally comprises a strap 30 including a first portion 32 and a second portion 34. A coupler 36 removably secures the first 32 and second 34 portions to each other and may comprise a snap button fastener or another conventional closure coupler such as a buckle.
A universal serial bus port 38 is coupled to the baseball hat 12 and is configured for receiving a universal serial bus plug 40 of a charging cord 42 for an electronic device 44. The electronic device 44 may comprise a mobile phone or any portable electronic device being transportable by the user 16. The universal serial bus port 38 may couple to one of the fabric panels 20.
A crown solar panel 46 is attached to the crown 14 of the baseball hat 12 and is electrically coupled to the universal serial bus port 38. The crown solar panel 46 may be a flag design such as a national flag. A brim solar panel 48 is attached to the brim 18 of the baseball hat 12 and is electrically coupled to the universal serial bus port 38 wherein the brim solar panel 48 and the crown solar panel 46 provide electric power to the universal serial bus port 38.
In use, the baseball hat 12 is secured to the head 24 of the user 16 and the universal serial bus plug 40 of the charging cord 42 is inserted into the universal serial bus port 38 of the baseball hat 12. The crown 26 and brim 48 solar panels are positioned in sunlight 50 to provide electric power the electronic device 44 electrically engaged with the charging cord 42.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
