Abstract:
A headwear piece or cap comprises a crown portion and a bill portion conjoined at one end with the crown portion. The bill portion includes a stiffening insert configured to fold in at least one location by way of an interior slot and adjoining terminal crease sections. Each terminal crease section is formed by the provision of oppositely disposed upper and lower indentations at each end of the interior slot. The foldable stiffening insert is sandwiched between two flexible layers.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an elastic steel band, which is wound over one revolution (angle of over 360°) when a sun cap or a hat is not worn, whereby keeping and portability characteristics of the sun cap or hat are improved, and method and apparatus for manufacturing the same. According to the present invention, the method of manufacturing the elastic steel band includes a material preparation step, a press work step of forming a unit work pieces, a rolling step of rolling the unit work piece 1.5 revolution to less than 3 revolutions, and an unfolding step of bending both ends of the rolled half-finished work piece in an opposite direction to the rolling direction, thus forming unfolded units at both ends of the elastic steel band.
Abstract:
A foldable formative cap capable of opening automatically, which is mainly comprised of a cap body and a hair hoop. Wherein, two sides of the cap body have folding lines and can be folded, and there is a supporting seat arranged in each left and right side of the top face of the hair hoop additionally, and the upper portion of the supporting seat is connected and secured at an appropriate position of the folding lines at the two sides of thecap body by the means of a fixing structure. By the aforementioned structure, when a user props up the hair hoop with hand, the upper portion of the supporting seat located on the hair hoop will be closed and tilted toward the center gradually, and the distance between the folding lines at the left and the right two sides of the cap body is in turn closed near, and the cap body oy origi showed as a folding shape can be opened automatically and shown as a three-dimensional shape, and in the meantime, in cooperation with the cut groove arranged on the cap body, the user may insert and fix any different characters or patterns. Not only can it facilitate the user to design or choose any pattern or character by a DIY manner to quickly assemble more interesting variations, but also does it have the advantages of foldable storage, less occupying space, better wearing and fixing effects, and further fulfilling the object of practical application.
Abstract:
A hat assembly including a hat that is selectively disposed in either a collapsed position or an expanded position is shown. The hat comprises a head engaging portion including a side wall, a crown and a brim. The brim has a substantially annular configuration at least partially defined by a central opening and an outer periphery having a continuous, substantially circular configuration. The side wall have an inner end being of substantially equal dimension as a circumference of the central opening and the inner end is secured continuously to the circumference along mutual lengths thereof. Breathing holes may be formed in the side walls to prevent sweating or perspiration on the head of a wearer. The hat has an expanded position and a collapsed position wherein the crown is structured to be folded into and out of the interior of the hat. A method of selectively disposing a hat in a hat assembly in either a collapsed position or an expanded position is also shown.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a foldable solar protection device comprising several articulated elements, characterized by the fact that the articulated elements are stacked panels (1) connected by a single pivot (4) adjacent one (6) of their ends for deployment by a circular movement and by the fact that it has means for holding the panels (1) in deployed position. The invention will find its application particularly in the field of clothing accessories adapted for advertising.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a convertible visor/cap, which can be converted from a cap to a visor, and vice verse, having a fixed frontal crown portion and a folding crown membrane supported by a plurality of hinged support members. The visor/cap preferably has a forwardly extending bill, from which the frontal crown portion extends upward, and a head band portion extending rearwardly therefrom. Two hinges are preferably provided on the sides of the head band portion adjacent the frontal crown portion for pivotally supporting the support members. The hinges allow the support members to be pivoted between a first extended position, in which the membrane covers the head (i.e., to form a cap), and a second folded position, in which the membrane is folded up behind the frontal crown portion and substantially hidden from view (i.e., to form a visor).
Abstract:
The hat (2), made from a supple and foldable material, comprises a reversible pocket (5) made in said hat, into which the hat can be folded and stored when not in use.
Abstract:
An item of headwear which includes a visor portion. The item of headwear includes a hinge portion which permits the headwear to be moved from an open position, for wearing, to a closed position, for storage, which compacts the headwear into a small, collapsed configuration. The visor portion is of a fan-type construction which undergoes concertinaed movement when the headwear is moved from the closed position to the open position. The visor portion is stretched to a substantially planer configuration when in the open position and is accordian shaped when in the closed position.
Abstract:
A hat having elongated support members extending from the exterior of the crown of the hat, for supporting the hat upon the head of the wearer, to prevent the hat from causing any undue adverse affect to the wearer's hair style. An alternative embodiment of the hat further includes a casing having a framing that is either attached to the crown or a brim, which framing may be twisted to collapse the hat into a small compact size and shape.
