Hair Holding Garments

The present disclosure relates to garments and more particularly to garments for holding hair.

Conventional garments and hair wrap products do not provide any means for lifting the weight of one's hair from their scalp while also providing a safe and protected area for the hair to stay out of one's way. An individual may wear long hair for several reasons, such as personal preference, style, or religious or cultural reasons. Some long hair styles may leave the hair “free” or in a natural state, while others may include braids, twists, dread locks (or “locs”), or the like. Certain long hair styles such as braids, twists, and locs can become very heavy and long (e.g., to and past the waist) if they are worn for many years, which is common. As the hair gets heavier and longer it can pull on the scalp where the individual locs or braids originate and lead to discomfort and, in some cases, migraines or traction alopecia. Further, long hair can often get in the way of daily tasks such as driving, working with the hands, or even sitting and sleeping. This can be a particular concern for individuals who work in fields that require their hair to be out of the way or under a hat or helmet, such as construction workers, cooks, chefs, athletes, line workers, tradesman, or the like.

Conventional hair wraps or gathering devices require the hair to be tightly pulled back either into a ponytail, bun or turban which can further cause stress and damage on the hair and scalp, and does not address the problem of moving the hair to a more convenient location, or address the problem of redistributing the weight of the hair. The lack of available solutions can leave an individual to be forced to cut their hair, which may go against their personal, cultural, or religious beliefs.

There remains a need in the art for improved garments and methods for gathering, holding, and protecting hair, in particular, hair worn in long hairstyles. This disclosure provides a solution for this need.

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a garment comprises, a main body portion configured for covering at least a portion of an upper torso of a wearer, the main body portion formed of a first material, and at least one pocket operatively associated with the main body portion, the pocket formed of a second material. The pocket is configured to hold hair of the wearer such that a weight of the hair of the wearer is distributed throughout the at least one pocket and the main body portion of the garment to reduce a pulling force of the hair of the wearer on a scalp of the wearer.

In certain embodiments, the second material can be different from the first material. In certain embodiments, the second material can be or include at least one of satin, silk, velvet, absorbent material, terry cloth, or a combination thereof.

In certain embodiments, the main body portion can include a front panel and a back panel, where the at least one pocket is operatively connected to the back panel. In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be operatively connected to an outside of the back panel. In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be operatively connected to an inside of the back panel.

In certain embodiments, the garment can further include a first sleeve and a second sleeve extending from the main body portion. In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can include a plurality of pockets operatively connected to an outside of the back panel, the front panel, the first sleeve, and/or the second sleeve.

In certain embodiments, the first sleeve and the second sleeve can be short sleeves such that the sleeves are configured to end above an elbow of the wearer. In certain such embodiments, the plurality of pockets can include a first pocket operatively connected to the outside of the back panel, a second pocket operatively connected to the outside of the front panel, a third pocket operatively connected to the outside of the front panel, e.g., separate from the second pocket.

In certain embodiments, the first sleeve and the second sleeve can be long sleeves such that the sleeves are configured to extend past the elbow of the wearer. In certain such embodiments, the plurality of pockets can further include a fourth pocket operatively connected to the outside of the first sleeve, and a fifth pocket operatively connected to the outside of the second sleeve.

In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be removably associated with the main body portion.

In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be retrofit onto an existing garment. In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be sewn onto the main body portion.

In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can include an outer layer and an inner liner layer, where the outer liner layer is formed of the first material and the inner liner layer is formed from the second material, where the first material and the second material are different from each other. In certain embodiments, the second material can be or include at least one of satin, silk, velvet, absorbent material, or a combination thereof.

In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can include an outer layer and an inner liner layer, where the outer liner layer is formed of the first material and the inner liner layer is formed from a third material. In certain such embodiments, the third material can be different from the first material and the second material. In certain embodiments, the third material can be or include at least one of satin, silk, velvet, absorbent material, or a combination thereof.

In certain embodiments, the garment can be a garment top, or a full body garment. In certain examples, the garment can be a short sleeve t-shirt, a ¾ sleeve t-shirt, a long sleeve t-shirt, a vest, a tank top, a workout top, a dress, a jumper, a romper, a coverall, an overall, a sweater, a hooded sweatshirt, a jacket, a work vest, a hazmat suit, a sports jersey, coats, rain proof and weather proof garment tops, and/or space suits.

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a hooded garment can include, a main body portion configured for covering at least a portion of an upper torso of a wearer, a hood portion extending from a neckline of the main body portion at a hood seam, a slit defined in the hood portion above, at, or below the hood seam configured to pass hair of a wearer from an inside of the hood portion to an outside of the hood portion, and at least one pocket operatively associated with the main body portion. The pocket can be configured to the hold hair of the wearer outside of the hood portion such that a weight of the hair of the wearer is distributed throughout the at least one pocket and the main body portion of the garment to reduce a pulling force of the hair of the wearer on a scalp of the wearer.

In certain embodiments, the main body portion can be formed of a first material, the hood portion can be formed of a second material, and the at least one pocket can be formed of a third material. In certain embodiments, the second material and the third material can be different from the first material, and the second material can be or include at least one of satin, silk, velvet, absorbent material, or a combination thereof.

In certain embodiments, the hood portion can include an outer hood layer formed of a first fabric and an inner hood liner layer formed of a second fabric, and the at least one pocket can include an outer pocket layer formed of a third material and an inner pocket liner layer formed of a fourth material. In certain embodiments, the second material and/or the fourth material can be or include at least one of satin, silk, velvet, absorbent material, or a combination thereof.

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a garment configured to cover at least a portion of a head of a wearer can include, a head covering portion, and a pocket portion adjacent the head covering portion, When the head covering portion is placed on a head of a wearer, the pocket is configured to the hold hair of the wearer outside of and extending below the head covering portion such that a weight of the hair of the wearer is distributed throughout the pocket and the head covering portion of the garment to reduce a pulling force of the hair of the wearer on a scalp of the wearer.

These and other features of the systems and methods of the subject disclosure will become more readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings.

Reference will now be made to the drawings wherein like reference numerals identify similar structural features or aspects of the subject disclosure. For purposes of explanation and illustration, and not limitation, an illustrative view of an embodiment of a garment in accordance with the disclosure is shown inand is designated generally by reference character. Other embodiments and/or aspects of this disclosure are shown in. Certain embodiments described herein can be used to redistribute the weight of an individual's hair to be held by the head, or body, rather than the scalp to improve the health of the hair and improve the comfort of the individual.

In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a garmentincludes a main body portionconfigured for covering at least a portion of an upper torso of a wearer and at least one pocketoperatively associated with the main body portion. The pocketis configured to hold hair of the wearer such that a weight of the hair of the wearer is distributed throughout the at least one pocketand the main body portionof the garmentto reduce a pulling force of the hair on a scalp of the wearer. In this way, the weight of the hair of the wearer is held by the body of the wearer, e.g., the shoulders and chest, rather than the weight of the hair being held only by the scalp of the wearer. This reduces the pull of the hair on the scalp, especially if the wearer has exceptionally long and/or heavy hair.

In certain embodiments, the main body portioncomprises, a front paneland a back panelsewn together at a seam, creating a front and back of the garment. In certain embodiments of the garment, the at least one pocketis operatively connected to the front paneland/or the back panel. For example, as shown in, an embodiment of a garment(e.g., a short sleeve shirt) is shown where the front panelincludes two pocketse.g., a left and right pocket (), and the back panelincludes one pocket(). This arrangement of pockets allows the wearer to hold their hair in front of their body, e.g., half on the left and half on the right, or on their back in the back panel pocket, or a combination of both. As shown, the pocketscan extend nearly the entire length of the front and back panels,, e.g., from adjacent a necklineof the respective panel, to adjacent a bottom seamof the respective panel. While this embodiment shows three pockets, any suitable number of pockets can be included as needed or desired.

In certain embodiments, the pockets can be operatively connected to an outside of the garment, where the pocket is visible to others. In the embodiment shown in, the pocket is shown operatively connected to the outside of the garment, e.g., the outside of the front panel and the back panel. In certain embodiments, as described later, the pockets can be operatively connected to an inside of the garment, where the pocket is not visible to others, which further protects the hair from environmental dangers (e.g., hazardous chemicals or materials), harsh environments (e.g., in space/aircraft, factory), or in high impact environments (e.g., contact sports).

With reference now to, an embodiment of the garment(e.g., a long sleeve shirt or jacket) can include a first long sleeveand a second long sleeveextending from the main body portion. As used herein “short sleeve” refers to a garment where the sleeves extend to a point above a wearer's elbow (e.g., at or near a bicep region) and “long sleeve” refers to a garment where the sleeves extend to a point past the wearer's elbow (e.g., at or near a wrist region). As shown in this embodiment, the at least one pocket includes a plurality of pocketsoperatively connected to an outside of the front panel, the back panel, the first sleeveand/or the second sleeveThis allows the wearer to place their hair in multiple places as desired for comfort or style. Like the embodiment of, here the front and back pocketscan extend from the necklineto the bottom seamof the garment. Additionally, the sleeve pocketscan extend for most of the sleeve length, for example, from at or near a shoulder seamto at or near a cuff seam. While this embodiment shows five pockets, any suitable number of pockets can be included as needed or desired.

In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be removably associated with the main body portion, where the main body portion allows for interchangeability of the pockets to accommodate varying arrangements of the pockets for differing hair styles. In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be attached to the main body portion using one or more of: hook and loop fastener, snaps, buttons, and/or a zipper, or the like. In certain embodiments, the at least one pocket can be sewn onto the main body portion.

In certain embodiments, the garment can be a short sleeve t-shirt, a ¾ sleeve t-shirt, a long sleeve t-shirt, a sweater, a hooded sweatshirt, a jacket, a work vest, a hazmat suit, or a sports jersey. A short sleeve shirt is shown in, and a long sleeve shirt/jacket is shown in. With reference now to, a hooded garmentis shown, colloquially referred to as a hoodie. In this embodiment, the garmentcan include, a main body portion, a hood portionextending from a necklineof the main body portionat a hood seam, and a slitdefined in the hood portionadjacent (e.g., above or below) or at the hood seamconfigured to pass hair of a wearer from an inside of the hood portionto an outside of the hood portion. In embodiments, the slit can be positioned at a back of the hooded portion or on the sides of the hooded portion (e.g., to allow the hair to come out of the slit over the shoulders of the wearer). The pocketcan be operatively associated with the main body portionbelow the slit, to catch and hold the hair passing through the slit. Any suitable number of additional pocketscan be included on the front of the garment. Conventional hoodies do not have a means to pass the hair to the back of the garment. For wearers with long hair, the hair must either be brought to the front of the garment and worn outside the hood, the hair must be collected into the hood, or the hair must be tucked down the back of the garment, between the wearer's back and the back panel of the garment. However, this can be uncomfortable for the wearer, and may cause damage to the hair if it is always stuffed with in the hood or down the back of the garment. Thus, the slitallows the hair to pass through the hoodor the back paneland a natural place, and then collect in the pocket so that the pocketand the hoodiecan carry the weight of the hair, while protecting the hair and allowing the wearer to wear the hood as intended.

show a progression of a wearer using the slitand the pocketof the hooded garment. In, a wearer with long hair has put the hoodieon but has not yet placed the hair through the slit. This is generally how someone with long hair would wear a conventional hoodie. As shown, this leaves the hair exposed to potential damage and can create blind spots in the wearer's peripheral vision. In, the wearer has now placed their hair through the slitin the hood/back panel. As shown the hair is now held behind the wearer, improving vision, and holding the hair out of the wearer's face.shows a rear view of the wearer of. As can be seen in, the hair is passed through the slit, but is not yet placed into the pocket.now shows the hair passing through the slitand being held in the pocket. The hair is now protected from the elements and protected from accidental damage cause by sitting or stepping on the hair or getting caught in hazards. The weight of the hair is now also held by the rest of the garment, rather than the scalp of the wearer. The pockettherefore not only improves the health of the hair, but improves the comfort and safety of the wearer, especially if working in an area where hair needs to be pulled back. In certain embodiments, the garmentcan include slit, but may also include the pocketon an inside of the back panel, either in addition to or instead of on the outside of the back panel. Any suitable combination of pocketson the inside or outside of the back panel, on the front panel, or on the sleeves is contemplated herein.

show an embodiment of a garmenthaving the pocket, where the garment is a high visibility vest, typically worn over the clothes by construction workers, road workers, electricians, factory workers, tradesman, or the like. In these trades, it can be crucial to keep hair out of the way to avoid being caught in equipment and to avoid the hair falling in the line of sight, obstructing vision. Moreover, workers may also need to wear additional headgear such as helmets or hard hats. If an individual is utilizing a traditional head wrap, such as a turban, the hard had or helmet may not be able to fit properly. Embodiments of the garmentas shown intherefore provide a means for holding long hair back and away from the face and work area, without requiring the wearer to put their hair on top of their head which allows the required protective wear to fit properly. The pocketalso allows the weight of the hair to be carried by the shoulders, rather than the scalp, improving the comfort of the wearer. Again, this embodiment of the garmentnot only protects the hair, but greatly improves the safety and comfort of the wearer.

In certain embodiments, it may be necessary or desired to have the hair held within the garment, but still within the pocket. For example, as shown in, the garmentcan be a bio suit, a hazmat suit, or space suit is shown. In, the garmentis shown zipped or buttoned up, so the pocketis not visible. In, the garmentis shown unzipped, or unbuttoned, so the pocketis shown partially visible, using dotted lines. Because the pocketis internal to the garment, it is not seen from the rear, as shown in. In this embodiment, the pocketcan be operatively connected to the inside of the back panel. This allows the pocketto hold the weight of the hair but also protects the hair from a harsh or hazardous environment in which the wearer is working.

Another example of an internal pocketis shown inon garment. Here, the garmentis a sports jersey. The pocketcarries the weight of the hair and protects the hair from being pulled, snagged, or damaged from physical contact. The internal pocketalso prevents the long hair from obstructing the player's name, often placed at the top of the back panelof the sports jersey, below the neckline, and obstructing the player's number.

In certain embodiments, e.g., any one or more of the embodiments of the garment described above, the main body portion can be formed of a first material, such as any conventional material as desired for the type and style of clothing, e.g., cotton or wool. The pocket(s) however can be formed of a second material, different from the first material. The second material can be a material configured for hair protection and maintenance, for example, materials for counteracting frizz, breakage, or dryness. In certain embodiments, the pocket can be formed from satin, silk, velvet, high absorbent material (e.g., chamois or the like), merino wool, or any suitable combination thereof.

show embodiments of the garmentandwhere the pocketsandare shown pulled open so the inside of the pocket is visible.shows the inside of the hood portionof garmentlined for contour. While the following description of the garment and pocket are shown with respect to garmentsand, one having ordinary skill in the art in view of this disclosure would readily appreciate that the following description can apply to all embodiments discussed herein.

In certain embodiments, the pocket,can include an outer layer,and an inner liner layer,. In certain embodiments, both the inner liner layer,and outer layer,can be of the same material, e.g., satin, silk, velvet, absorbent material, or any suitable combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the outer layer,can be formed of the first material (e.g., the same material as the main body portion,) and the inner liner layer,can be formed from the second material (e.g., satin, silk, velvet, absorbent material, or any suitable combination thereof). In certain embodiments, the main body portion,, the outer pocket layer,, and the inner liner layer,can each be of different materials, for example to accommodate different types of garments. In certain embodiments, with respect to hooded garments (e.g., garment), the hood portioncan be of a single material, or it can be a two-layer hood, where the two layers are of the same or a different material. For example, as shown in, an inner linerof the hoodcan be silk, satin, or velvet, and the outer layerof the hoodcan be the same as the body portion(e.g., cotton or wool). The materials of the hood can be the same or different from the materials of the pocket, and the materials of the hood and pocket can be the same or different to the materials of the main body portion of the garment.

For example, for a casual garment, the main body portion and the outer layer can be of cotton material, while the inner liner layer can be satin, while a work or athletic garment can include a heavy-duty durable fabric for the main body portion and the outer layer and the inner liner layer can be satin. A sleep garment may include a lightweight breathable fabric for the main body portion, and both the outer layer and inner liner layer of the pocket can be of satin, silk, or velvet. For a bath garment, the main body portion can be of a plush material while the inner layer of the pocket can be an absorbent material, e.g., chamois, terry cloth material, or the like, to help absorb water from wet hair and the outer layer of the pocket is satin or silk. A winter garment may incorporate merino wool for the material of the pocket. Any suitable combination of fabrics is contemplated herein.

With reference now to, another embodiment of a garmentis shown. In this embodiment, the garmentcan be a headwear garment. For example, if a wearer does not want to wear a shirt or jacket with a pocket, they can opt for a headwear with a pocketas shown. In this embodiment, the garmentcan include a head covering portion, configured to cover at least a portion of a head of a wearer and a pocket portionadjacent the head covering portion. In certain embodiments, with the garmentplaced on other wearer's head, the head covering portioncan have a tailconfigured to hang down behind the neck of the wearer. As shown here, the pocket portioncan be operatively associated with the tail, e.g., at a seam. In the embodiment shown in, the headwear garmentcan be what is colloquially known as a durag or do-rag. The novel durag shown inallows a wearer to wear their hair “down” e.g., not tied up or wrapped in a turban or wrap on top of their head, but still have it fully protected by the beneficial durag fabric. The pocketwill also carry the weight of the hair, as discussed above for the body garments, where the weight of the hair will be distributed throughout the head covering portionand the tail, rather than the scalp. In certain embodiments, the pocketand the head covering portioncan all be made of the same material.

Certain embodiments of a garment include a satin/silk/velvet-lined hair pocket, which allows hair to be put up and out of the way in a manner that is convenient, stylish and healthy for the hair and head, and keeps the hair clean. In certain embodiments, the placement of the pocket(s) can be selected to provide the following benefits:

In certain embodiments, the garment can include a hair slit. The location of the hair slit in the garment can be selected to allow the wearer to move their hair from the interior of a hoodie to the exterior of the hoodie in order to wear the hood in the upright position without sacrificing comfort. In certain embodiments, the slit can be placed below the neckline of the hoodie on the back of the garment making access to the slit conveniently within reach. In certain embodiments, the slit can also be placed in the hood, above the neckline. In certain embodiments, the slit can be closed if not in use, for example via zipper, buttons, or snaps. In certain embodiments, the garment can include both the slit and a pocket, for use together, such as shown in.

Currently, there are no suitable means for someone with long, heavy hair (e.g., long dreadlocks, braids, or twists) to comfortably wear a hoodie with the hood in an upright position. Because of this, the only options available to wear a hood with long hair are to: stuff the hair into the hood; place the hair in front of the wearer, over either, or both shoulders; or keep the hair inside the hoodie but unsupported. However, these options are not suitable and do not solve the issues faced with conventional hooded garments.

US Patent Application Publication No. 2011/0225699 (“Elhamsadat”) provides an attempted solution for holding long, loose hair in a hooded garment, however the purpose of Elhamsadat is to provide a means for stuffing the loose hair into the hood and holding the hair in the conformal hood so that the hair does not fall out of the hood. But stuffing the hair into the hood creates discomfort for the wearer and will continually have to be readjusted when the wearer moves and the hair falls out. Also, depending on the length and thickness of the hair, this may not even be an option for some wearers as the hood may not be large enough to accommodate the length, bulk, or thickness of the hair. Therefore, embodiment of the garmentdisclosed herein present a novel and nonobvious solution, different than Elhamsadat, because the garmentprovides a means for holding the hair behind the head, and outside of the hood, and within the protective pocket on the back of the garment, maximizing the health and comfort of the hair and wearer. This is not realized in Elhamsadat, which holds the hood tightly to the head, and keeps the hair restricted within the head.

Wearing the hair in front of the hood is not desirable because the hair lays unsupported and in a way that hinders or restricts physical activity and may contribute to the stress, discomfort and displeasure associated with traction alopecia. Because of the weight and length of some hair, this option may cause discomfort over time and increase the chance of the wearer sitting (or in some cases, standing) on their own hair and may also hinder or restrict some activities as well as vision. Finally, letting the hair sit unsupported in the back of the garment may also contribute to the stress, discomfort and displeasure associated with traction alopecia. If all of these options are undesirable to someone with long hair, they may be forced to forego wearing a hoodie altogether. Embodiments of the garment described herein address each of these issues and provide a comfortable, safe, and convenient solution for the wearer.

In certain embodiments, rather than have a slit in the hoodie, the hood can be attached to the satin-lined pocket in order to protect the exposed section of hair from the elements. The hood can be attached permanently to the pocket via sewing or detachable via any suitable means, e.g., zipper, buttons, snaps, hook and loop closures. In certain embodiments, the interior of the attached or detachable hood can be satin-lined.

In certain embodiments, the garment can include any garment top, including outerwear, a satin-lined pocket is attached to the back of the garment to hold an individual's hair. In certain embodiments, e.g., as shown, the top of the pocket can start at just under the neckline, on the front or back of any garment top. The bottom of the pocket can terminate a few inches above the bottom of the garment. In certain embodiments, the width of the pocket can be about the same shoulder-to-shoulder width of the garment unless a design feature calls for an ornamental tapering, e.g., if the shape of the garment is tapered. The width of the closable slit (if used) above the pocket can be at, or just under, the shoulder-to-shoulder width of the garment. In certain embodiments, the exterior of the pockets can have embellishments, indicia, or ornamental designs. In certain embodiments, the pockets can be removable from the garment, and, in such embodiments, the pockets can be interchanged between various garment via the use of zippers, snaps, buttons or hook and loop method provided that the garment top has the same or similar attachments. In certain embodiments, the pocket(s) can be attached to the garment on all sides of the pocket or just on the top half (½) or one third (⅓) of the pocket to the garment to allow for more free movement of the hair, for example if the wearer is performing some kind of physical activity.

Embodiments of the lined pocket can include different geometrical shapes of the pocket so that it can be placed on various parts of garments to fit the garment. In certain embodiments, the pocket can be placed in a manner that provides support and protection for the hair but is also aesthetic such as the sleeves of garments, the front of the garment or wrapped around the garment.

Those having ordinary skill in the art understand that any numerical values disclosed herein can be exact values or can be values within a range. Further, any terms of approximation (e.g., “about”, “approximately”, “around”) used in this disclosure can mean the stated value within a range. For example, in certain embodiments, the range can be within (plus or minus) 20%, or within 10%, or within 5%, or within 2%, or within any other suitable percentage or number as appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art (e.g., for known tolerance limits or error ranges).

The articles “a”, “an”, and “the” as used herein and in the appended claims are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element.

The phrase “and/or,” as used herein in the specification and in the claims, should be understood to mean “either or both” of the elements so conjoined, i.e., elements that are conjunctively present in some cases and disjunctively present in other cases. Multiple elements listed with “and/or” should be construed in the same fashion, i.e., “one or more” of the elements so conjoined. Other elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified by the “and/or” clause, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, a reference to “A and/or B”, when used in conjunction with open-ended language such as “comprising” can refer, in one embodiment, to A only (optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to B only (optionally including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to both A and B (optionally including other elements); etc.

As used herein in the specification and in the claims, “or” should be understood to have the same meaning as “and/or” as defined above. For example, when separating items in a list, “or” or “and/or” shall be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., the inclusion of at least one, but also including more than one, of a number or list of elements, and, optionally, additional unlisted items. Only terms clearly indicated to the contrary, such as “only one of” or “exactly one of,” or, when used in the claims, “consisting of,” will refer to the inclusion of exactly one element of a number or list of elements. In general, the term “or” as used herein shall only be interpreted as indicating exclusive alternatives (i.e., “one or the other but not both”) when preceded by terms of exclusivity, such as “either,” “one of,” “only one of,” or “exactly one of.”

Any suitable combination(s) of any disclosed embodiments and/or any suitable portion(s) thereof are contemplated herein as appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art in view of this disclosure.

The embodiments of the present disclosure, as described above and shown in the drawings, provide for improvement in the art to which they pertain. While the apparatus and methods of the subject disclosure have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that changes and/or modifications may be made thereto without departing from the scope of the subject disclosure.
