The coupling components mainly consisting of complementary magnets and ferromagnetic materials located in reciprocal parts of the glasses and cap alone or in combination with push type or bungee type connectors. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A glasses/cap system for separably coupling glasses to a cap in a safe, convenient and economical manner, the system comprising, in combination: the cap with a closed top and an open bottom, the open bottom having a lower edge, a forward facing section, two side sections and a rearward facing section, a forwardly extending brim extending from the lower edge of the forward facing section; glasses comprising a forwardly facing bridge and rearwardly projecting temples; and coupling components to separably couple and uncouple the glasses to the cap, the coupling components including a bridge receiving component attached to forward facing section of the cap above the forwardly extending brim for receiving the forwardly facing bridge of the glasses, the bridge receiving component consisting of a mushroom shaped extendable socket attached to the cap above the forwardly extending brim for receiving the forwardly facing bridge of the glasses. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the coupling components include magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses and ferromagnetic components laterally spaced in the lower portion of the two side sections along the open bottom of the cap. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system set forth in claim 1 further including an opening in the rearward facing section of the cap, a first strip and a second strip, the first strip extending laterally from a first side of the opening, and the second strip extending laterally from a second side of the opening, the first strip comprising, laterally spaced magnets and the second strip comprising ferromagnetic components, the first strip and the second strip overlapping at various distances aligning the magnets and ferromagnetic components to accommodate various head sizes. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system set forth in claim 1 wherein the mushroom shaped extendable socket is further defined as having a forward section, a central section and a base, the central section adapted to compress and extend, the base attached to the forward facing section of the hat above the forwardly extending brim, the forward section rotatable lockable to the base when the central section is compressed, the central section capable of receiving the forwardly facing bridge of the glasses when extended. ### Claim 5 A glasses/cap system for separably coupling glasses to a cap in a safe, convenient and economical manner, the system comprising, in combination: the cap with a closed top and an open bottom, the open bottom having a lower edge, a forward facing section, two side sections and a rearward facing section, a forwardly extending brim extending from the lower edge of the forward facing section; glasses comprising a forwardly facing bridge and rearwardly projecting temples; and coupling components to separably couple and uncouple the glasses to the cap, the coupling components including a bridge receiving component attached to forward facing section of the cap above the forwardly extending brim for receiving the forwardly facing bridge of the glasses, the bridge receiving component formed with a retaining elastic cord and an upper retaining closure, the elastic cord having a first end and a second end with a length there between, the first end attached to the forward facing section above the forwardly extending brim, the second end forming a connecting end, the connecting end removably couple able to the upper retaining closure for receiving and retaining the forwardly facing bridge of the glasses. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system set forth in claim 5 wherein the connecting end includes a ferromagnetic component and the upper retaining closure includes a magnet, the magnet positioned to attract and guide the ferromagnetic component of the connecting end when coupling to the upper retaining closure. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The system as set forth in claim 5 wherein the coupling components include magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses and ferromagnetic components laterally spaced in the lower portion of the two side sections along the open bottom of the cap. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The system set forth in claim 5 further including an opening in the rearward facing section of the cap, a first strip and a second strip, the first strip extending laterally from a first side of the opening, and the second strip extending laterally from a second side of the opening, the first strip comprising, laterally spaced magnets and the second strip comprising ferromagnetic components, the first strip and the second strip overlapping at various distances aligning the magnets and ferromagnetic components to accommodate various head sizes. ### Claim 9 A glasses/cap system for separably coupling glasses to a cap in a safe, convenient and economical manner, the system comprising, in combination: a cap with a closed top and an open bottom, a forward facing section, two side sections and a rearward facing section, a forwardly extending brim extending from the lower edge of the forward facing section; glasses comprising a forwardly facing bridge and rearwardly projecting temples; coupling components to separably couple and uncouple the glasses to the cap, the coupling components comprised of magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses and ferromagnetic components laterally spaced in the two side sections adjacent to and above the lower edge along the open bottom of the cap; a bridge retaining component, the bridge retaining component attached to the forward facing section above the forwardly extending brim of the cap and configured to retain the bridge of the glasses; and an opening in the rearward facing section of the cap, a first strips and a second strip, the first strip extending laterally from a first side of the opening, and the second strip extending laterally from a second side of the opening, the first strip comprising laterally spaced magnets and the second strip comprising ferromagnetic components, the first strip and the second strip overlapping at various distances aligning the magnets and ferromagnetic components to accommodate various head sizes. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system set forth in claim 9 wherein the bridge retaining component includes a mushroom shaped extendable socket, the mushroom shaped extendable socket having a forward section, a central section and a base, the central section adapted to compress and extend, the base attached to the forward facing section of the hat above the forwardly extending brim, the forward section rotatable lockable to the base when the central section is compressed, the central section capable of receiving the forwardly facing bridge of the glasses when extended. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system set forth in claim 9 wherein the bridge retaining component includes a coupler having a retaining elastic cord and an upper retaining closure, the retaining elastic cord formed with a connecting end, the connecting end removably couple able to the upper retaining closure, the connecting end including a ferromagnetic component, the upper retaining closure including a magnet, the magnet positioned to attract and guide the ferromagnetic component of the connecting end of the retaining elastic cord when coupling to the upper retaining closure. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system set forth in claim 9 wherein the coupling components comprised of magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses include a plurality of laterally spaced magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system set forth in claim 9 wherein the coupling components comprised of magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses include an elongated rectangular magnet in each of the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system set forth in claim 9 wherein the coupling components comprised of magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses include a slidable magnet coupled to each of the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The system set forth in claim 9 wherein the coupling components comprised of magnets on the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses includes two ferrous metal sections with pluralities of imbedded magnets in the rearwardly projecting temples of the glasses.
