  • Headgear with pivotable visor
    Patent number: 6088837
    Abstract: A cap includes a visor having a fixed rear section attached to the crown and a fore section pivotally attached to the rear section. Functionally identical latches, made up of pairs of fingers and mating catches with prongs that engage the finger in a ratchet-and-pawl action, act to engage the pivotable section and hold it vertically up or down, depending on which prongs engage the fingers. An alternative embodiment employs an adjustable headband rather than a cap and crown.
