Abstract
A dip for mounting on a hat brim includes a first panel and a second panel. The first and second panels respectively have a length, width, top surface, bottom surface, proximal end and distal end. The first panel and second panel are each resiliently connected at their distal ends to a nose segment. The second panel has a wedge-shaped portion in which the width of the wedge-shaped portion increases from the distal end of the panel toward the proximal end of the panel. A first light system connects to the first panel. The first light system has at least one light emitter. A second light system depends from the second panel. The second light system has at least one light emitter.

A clip for mounting on a hat brim, the clip comprising:
- a first panel and a second panel, the first and second panels respectively having a length, width, top surface, bottom surface, proximal end and distal end;
- the first panel and second panel each resiliently connected at their distal ends to a nose segment;
- the second panel having a wedge-shaped portion in which the width of the wedge-shaped portion increases from the distal end of the panel toward the proximal end of the panel;
- a first light system connected to the first panel, the first light system having at least one first light emitter;
- and
- a second light system depending from the second panel, the second light system having at least one second light emitter
A system for interchangeable mounting of lighting devices on a hat brim, the system comprising:
- a clip body and one or more end-pieces;
- the clip body comprising a first panel and a second panel, the first and second panels respectively having a length, width, top surface, bottom surface, proximal end and distal end;
- the first panel and second panel each resiliently connected at their distal ends to a nose segment and having an intra-panel spacing between them;
- the nose segment having a front-facing surface and a brim-facing surface;
- the second panel having a wedge shaped portion in which the width of the panel increases from the distal end of the panel to the proximal end of the panel;
- the proximal end of the first panel including a first attachment structure;
- the one or more end-pieces including a second attachment structure sized and shaped for releasable attachment to the first attachment;
- the one or more end pieces including a first light system, the first light system having at least one first light emitter;
- and
- a second light system depending from the second panel, the second light system having at least one second light emitter.
A clip body for interchangeable mounting of accessory devices on a hat brim, the clip body comprising:
- a first panel and a second panel, the first and second panels respectively having a length, width, top surface, bottom surface, proximal end and distal end;
- the first panel and second panel each resiliently connected at their distal ends to a nose segment;
- the nose segment having a front-facing surface and a brim-facing surface;
- the second panel having a wedge shaped portion in which the width of the panel increases from the distal end of the panel to the proximal end of the panel;
- and
- the proximal end of the first panel including a first attachment structure sized and shaped to releasably attach to a complementary second attachment structure connected to an end-piece.
