Abstract: An attachment for the edge of an extending brim of a baseball type cap or visor is disclosed which is mounted on the edge of the extending brim to protect or repair the edge. The attachment easily mounts on the brim of a cap or visor and remains securely thereon. The brim is inserted into a slot through the side and along the full length of the attachment. The slot has flared edges that permit the attachment to be easily attached to the brim edge. As the edge attachment is mounted on the edge of a cap or visor the flared edges are deformed outward creating a spring force that firmly holds the edge attachment on the brim. The edge attachment may have an extension that extends over the top of a brim to provide additional space for the display of words, graphics, etc. that are larger than can be displayed on the much narrower front or top edge of the attachment.

Abstract: A folding hat that eliminates the risk of damaging the cloth by an elastic ring for a long life. The folding hat has the elastic ring sewn in an outer circumferential edge of a brim, and the elastic ring is formed by coupling both ends of a flat wire rod shaped by rolling spring steel round wire. Regarding the elastic ring, both ends of the flat wire rod are preferably coupled by: inserting both ends of the flat wire rod in both sides of a tubular metal stop, respectively; and crushing the metal stop. The metal stop has a pair of facing convex parts on which the tips of both ends of the flat wire rod can respectively abut at an inner center part that may be used.

Abstract: A visor protector for caps having a visor including a periphery having a front edge, a pair of lateral edges, and upper and lower sides. The visor protector includes a flexible body having an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion of the flexible body meets the lower portion of the flexible body at a leading edge of the flexible body. The upper portion of the flexible body is receivable on the upper side of the visor, and the lower portion of the flexible body is receivable on the lower side of the visor. The upper and lower portions of the flexible body cooperate to define a substantial U-shape, wherein the visor is receivable between the upper and lower portions such that the leading edge of the flexible body is substantially aligned with the front edge of the visor. The visor protector includes a pair of spring clips that each have a first leg that is engageable with the upper portion of the flexible body and a second leg that is engageable with the lower portion of the flexible body.

Abstract: A baseball cap including features for stabilizing the cap in a moving stream of air. The cap includes a modified bill having a downforce generator configured to create a relatively stagnate recirculation zone between the downforce generator and the head covering. This recirculation zone tends to negate the lifting effect found in prior art bills. The invention preferably also includes a vent through the bill. The vent is located behind the downforce generator, so as to connect the underside of the bill to the recirculation zone formed in the wake of the downforce generator. The vent is selectively closed by a flexible flap. The flap remains closed to prevent rain from passing through the vent. However, if pressure beneath the bill significantly exceeds pressure above the bill, the vent opens to equalize the pressure. This action prevents the creation of a net lifting force which might lift the cap off the wearer's head.

Abstract: A headwear assembly, comprising a crown, a bill attached to said crown, and extending outwardly therefrom. The bill comprises an upper bill portion comprising a first periphery and a first closure means disposed along that first periphery, a lower bill portion comprising a second periphery and a second closure means disposed along that second periphery, wherein the first periphery can be releaseably attached to the second periphery by releaseably attaching the first closure means to the second closure means to define an enclosed space between the upper bill portion and the lower bill portion.

The visor is secured to a front side of the crown. At least one incision line is made on the rigid material thereby creating a main portion and a strip portion, the main portion is inserted below the strip portion to retain the visor curved. The panels of crown are made out of a common woven fabric material or a stretchable fabric material. The rigid material is a flexible rigid material or a non-flexible rigid material. At least one incision line is made on the rigid material in equal distance from an outer edge of the rigid material along a periphery of the rigid material.

Abstract: A baseball-style cap having a freely transformable visor which includes an upper fabric portion, a lower fabric portion, and a resilient stiffener placed therebetween. The cap further includes a piped fabric portion that is located between the upper and lower fabric portions, adjacent an outer periphery of such upper and lower portions, into which a deformable material is inserted. The deformable material includes a plastic sheath defining a channel, and a metal material lying within the channel and enclosed thereby. The combination of the resilient stiffener and the deformable material allows the visor to be readily bent or folded as well as easily restored to its original configuration. The resulting cap can be produced easily, is attractive in use and can be carried in a pocket without damage to the visor.
