  • Patent number: 8696112
    Abstract: A detachable securement system for holding eyewear onto hats using magnetic force attraction and a laminated hook and loop securement strap assembly is described. A magnetic plate with rare earth magnets is placed inside the crown band of a hat. A receiver plate and securement strap assembly is located directly opposite on the front of the hat. The securement strap is a novel combination of both a hook and a loop fastening strip joined together adhesively to form a single, interlocking strap. The receiver plate is centrally located within the adhesive layers between the fastening strips. The strap when wrapped around the nose guard area of eyewear firmly interlocks onto itself. The combined use of magnetic force attachment and a single, interlocking securing strap provides a convenient means for securing and storing eyewear on hats.
