1. Technical Field
The present application relates, in general, to headwear apparel, and more particularly to hats and caps with adjustable and rotatable crowns.
2. Description of Some Prior Art
Baseball-style caps are a common constituent of apparel worn by fans at sporting events and at rallies. Sporting a baseball-style cap at a sports event or a club is a longstanding American tradition. Sports fans often use sports caps to express their support for their favorite team either because of nativity or because of location of the team or for a number of other reasons. While there are numerous types, styles and designs for caps having a single logo of a sports team imprinted on the crown of many commercial caps, there are only a few, if any, inventions of caps with multiple logos inscribed on rotatable crowns.
Movable visors and bills are known in the art. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,630,317, Brown et al. disclose caps in which, the bill/visor parts may be detachable from a sweatband portion of a visor, which may be inter-changeable with other bills and visor using loops and hooks to secure the headband. However, the Brown et al., patent does not teach the use of slidable mechanisms for adjusting visors or crowns. U.S. Pat. No. 5,471,684 issued to Castle discloses a cap construction in which, a visor portion may be detachable from a brim and crown parts. The Castle patent discloses a movable and detachable brim portion, which may be adjustable using a sliding means to rotate a visor to shield from the sun. Likewise, U.S. Pat. No. 5,533,211 issued to Mehrens, teaches a cap with a visor/bill portion that is movable relative to the crown. The Mehrens patent disclosed a sliding assembly in which, one member is attached to the brim while the complementary sliding member is attached to a band that is secured to the visor so that the visor may be moved while the brim stays on the head of the wearer. Other patents also disclose similar sliding mechanisms to move the bill portion of a visor on sports caps. For instance, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,789,267 and 7,240,373, issued to Ahn describe a cap with a sliding assembly comprising a C-shaped channel and a vertically T-shaped track whereby the brim may be rotated relative to the crown. Unlike the Ahn patents, the present invention discloses a bracket-shaped channel track means that accommodates a T-head-shaped male track means that when engaged together enables the wearer to rotate the crown to multiple positions relative to a position of the bill of the cap. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,715,534 and 6,263,508, issued to Mobley/Davis, disclosed hats and caps with moveable bills or brims. Both the Mobley/Davis patents teach a cap or hat wherein the bill or brim of the cap/hat may be rotated by the wearer relative to the crown. The sliding assembly that operates the movement of the bill or brim in the Mobley/Davis patents is generally located on the outer rim of the brim so that the visor may be rotated around the crown of the cap.
A goal of the present invention is to achieve the dual purposes of: (1) rotation of the crown portion of a baseball-style cap around its own vertical axis to display multiple symbols, logos and the like, while the cap is securely fixed on the head of a wearer; and (2) simultaneously the bill of the visor is still positioned to protect the face of the wearer from the sun's harmful rays while the crown can be rotated. Thus the current invention differs from the above-described prior art in that the crown is connected to the outside periphery of a headband, without an intermediary sweatband, and the visor member stays in a constant position, and the sliding mechanism is located between the periphery of the crown/brim, and the complementary side of the sliding mechanism is attached to the headband of the visor. This mode of construction is advantageous because the wearer may easily select a different logo based on the wearer's predilection without removing the cap from his or her head. In the current disclosure, as opposed to the above-described prior art patents, the invention is an improvement focused on an adjustable or rotatable crown, while the detachable visor member of the cap is fixed on the head of the wearer shielding the wearer's face from the sun and the elements of the weather. The construction of the crown in the current teaching is a unitary construction, meaning there is no separable brim or sweatband or edge portion separable from the body of the crown. Thus the present disclosure addresses the issue of how to rotate the crown body without rotating or disturbing the brim or visor/bill, and the invention seeks to resolve this issue.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn an embodiment, the disclosed invention comprises a baseball-style cap. The cap further comprises a crown member configured to cover a head of an individual wearer person.

For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions comprising only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B”.
