Abstract: A head cap having a substantially hemi-spherically shaped portion intended to be worn over hair on the head of a wearer and including at least one opening therein large enough to accommodate a bundle of hair passing through the opening and means for securing the cap to the bundle of hair. A gathering mechanism is attached to the cap body around the perimeter of the opening to compressively engage the bundle of hair and hold the bundle of hair and the cap body in a fixed relationship. The gathering mechanism includes a sleeve attached to the cap body along the perimeter of the opening and a drawstring passed through the interior of the sleeve. The drawstring may be drawn to gather the sleeve to compressively engage the bundle of hair. A clamp is provided for holding the drawstring in a drawn disposition to hold the sleeve gathered about the bundle of hair.

Abstract: A hat rack including a vertical rod with a loop at the top for hanging the rack on a wall. Separate rack sections are attached to the vertical rod, and spaced apart at intervals, each section for storing a single cap. A section includes two rods extending out from the vertical rod at an angle to each other forming a triangular shaped cap support structure with a tie rod extending between them for strength, and each rod having an upwardly protruding end for captivating a cap visor placed on the rods. A short rod is positioned above each pair of outwardly protruding rods, extending outward from the vertical rod in a direction parallel to an axis half way between the outwardly protruding rods, and spaced above them so as to be useful for supporting the top portion of a cap. The invention meets a particular need of those who collect numerous baseball caps and desire to have them individually displayed.

Abstract: Ball cap storage rack comprising a wire or rod stock frame including a plurality of rods configured to form an elongated, generally rectangular-shaped back with side capture bars and a pair of hooks at one end. The back has a width slightly narrower than the width of a typical baseball cap visor and is adapted to have its length running vertically when in normal use. Two additional sets of rods are arrayed along opposite sides of the back to form side capture rails, and define visor edge receiving openings. The upper ends of the rails are deformed to provide a closet pole hanger at the upper end of the rack, and the lower ends are deformed to form the capture fingers at a lower portion of the device. To store a plurality of baseball caps in the rack, the caps are placed with their visors flat against the back with the soft cap portion collapsed forwardly and the bill of each successive cap slipped behind the preceding one and the folded cap nested against the same part of the preceding cap.
