Abstract
This invention is an improved collapsible cap that may be easily opened and closed so that when the cap is in a closed position the cap will be of relatively uniform height allowing the cap to be easily packed and stored. The apparatus of this invention accomplishes the foregoing by encapsulating the opening and closing mechanism of the cap, i.e., a hinge having a pivot pin in a plastic material and attaching one portion of the plastic material to the cap frame and another portion of the plastic material to a folded over encircling fabric tape containing a circular wire grommet.
Claims9
A collapsible cap having a peak, frame, grommet, visor and cap cover, said cap comprising:
- a means for opening and closing said cap;
- a first plastic material that encapsulates a portion of the lower section of said means, said first material is connected to said frame;
- a second plastic material that encapsulates a portion of the upper section of said means, said second material is connected to a fabric that holds a portion of said grommet so that said cap may be opened when said second material is pushed up and said cap may be closed when said second material is pushed down.
