Patent number: 10184289Abstract: A disclosed spacer key is configured for insertion within hollow spacer sections, thereby connecting the hollow spacer sections. The spacer key may include a top wall and a bottom wall connected by opposing side walls such that the spacer key has a tubular cross section and longitudinally-extending body. To control how much of the body is inserted into each spacer section, one or more raised areas may be included on the exterior of the spacer key. Protrusions may extend laterally-outward from the spacer key, configured to contact one or more internal surfaces of surrounding spacer sections upon insertion. External surfaces of the spacer key lacking protrusions may include one or more depressed areas.

Patent number: 5603120Abstract: An attachment for a headgear having a flap depending therefrom to display an image and also providing a sun shield for the neck of the wearer. The attachment includes a flat strip that is preferably extruded from low density polyethylene material. Thus, it is pliable with plastic memory so that it tries to straighten out when curled in a suitable arc for matching the contour of a hatband. For headgear having a standard hatband, slitted tabs at opposite ends of the strip are separated so that the U-shaped tongue of each tab goes over the top of the hatband into the pocket therebehind. The attachment can also be secured to the webbing of a hard hat by slipping webbing straps through the slitted tab ends of the attachment strip. No special connection parts are required to be included in the headgear and the attachment is not size sensitive, but can be used in almost any size of headgear.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1995Date of Patent: February 18, 1997Assignee: Apogee Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Mark Gifford
