Garment With Built-In Audio Source Wiring
First Claim
1. A combination of a hooded garment and an audio source system which are together configured for safety comprising:
- a garment comprising;
a hood portion and a body portion and absent any lanyard or other means for cinching the hood;
the hood having an outside panel and a lining panel the lining panel having an inside surface and an outside surface, the outside surface facing the outside panel and at least a partial hood inner space being defined between the outside panel and the lining panel;
the hood portion being sewn to the body portion to define a line of joinder;
a pocket in the body portion which pocket is open exteriorly of the garment;
a tube extending from a top end proximate the line of joinder to a bottom end proximate the pocket and the tube being sewn into the inside of the body portion and the top end being openly sewn with the line of joinder to form a closed path from the hood inner space into the tube;
an audio source system comprising;
a pair of speakers with one speaker placed on a right side of the hood and one speaker on a left side of the hood at a place selected for listening when the hood is worn the speakers each secured in a pocket;
a wire extending from each speaker to a point of coming together proximate the line of joinder and the wires confined in the hood inner space;
the wires extending together from the hood inner space into the tube at the tube top end and then exiting the tube at the tube bottom end and extending into the pocket and having a connection end with a connection means exteriorly available by way of the pocket to connect to an audio source device;
a first securing tab attached to the wires where they are together proximate the line of joinder and the securing tab being attached to the hood;
whereby two safety features are present one by the wires being fully enclosed from the speakers through to the bottom of the tube and second by the securing tab preventing any cinching of the hood upon pulling of the end of the wires such as at the connection end.

Abstract
An audio source system may be built into a garment such as a hooded garment in such a way that safety concerns such as with a hooded garment for children are taken into account so that the audio system wiring cannot be made loose causing a danger of strangulation nor can the hood be cinched. This is done by putting speakers into the hood between a lining and an outer layer and passing the wires into the space between them and then into a tube that is open to the hood inner space and down the tube to a pocket in the body of the garment. Also securing tabs are used to prevent cinching action upon pulling the wire.

9. A method of providing a hooded garment with an audio system constructed for child safety comprising:
-
providing a garment having a hood portion and a body portion and with no cord or lanyard or any other means for cinching the hood; providing speakers built into the hood portion between an outer layer and a lining layer; wiring the speakers wholly within a hood inner space between the outer layer and the lining layer; extending the wiring in the body portion through a tube that is openly connected to the hood inner space at a top end and which tube is sewn inside the body portion to a bottom end at which the wiring exits; providing a pocket in the body portion and extending the wiring after exiting the tube bottom end, into the pocket whereby a connection end of the wiring is available through the pocket; providing a first securing tab attached to the wires proximate the line of joinder and attaching the first securing tab being attached to the hood; whereby the wiring is sufficiently enclosed that no loose wiring is available near a user'"'"'s neck and no cinching of the hood can occur upon pulling the wires. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
