Abstract
The present invention relates to a headwear grip system configured to substantially increase friction to a user's hand while gripping the headwear and increased friction to a surface the headwear may rest on. The system has a headwear configured to rest on a wearer's head, a grip surface that has an upper grip surface and a lower grip surface where the upper grip surface attaches to the headwear.
Claims4
A headwear grip system configured to substantially increase friction to a user's hand while gripping the headwear and increased friction to a surface the headwear may rest on, the headwear grip system comprising:
- a headwear configured to rest on a wearer's head and further comprising a crown opening;
- and
- a brim, attached to the headwear and having a distal edge distant from the crown opening;
- wherein the brim has a top surface and a bottom surface;
- wherein the top surface faces away from the crown opening and the bottom surface faces toward the crown opening;
- a grip surface configured to have an upper grip surface offset from the distal edge and a lower grip surface offset from the distal edge;
- wherein the upper grip surface and the lower grip surface extend from the crown opening toward the distal edge;
- wherein the upper grip surface attaches to the bottom surface of the brim;
- wherein the lower grip surface comprises a tread having a single, continuous grip surface extending continuously from the crown opening toward the distal edge of the brim,
- the single, continuous grip surface of the tread further comprising:
- a first extended rounded surface, smoothly joined to a first retracted rounded surface;
- a second extended rounded surface, smoothly joined to the first retracted rounded surface;
- a second retracted rounded surface, smoothly joined to the second extended rounded surface;
- a first extended flat surface, smoothly joined to the second retracted rounded surface;
- a third retracted rounded surface, smoothly joined to the first extended flat surface;
- a third extended rounded surface, smoothly joined to the third retracted rounded surface;
- a fourth retracted rounded surface, smoothly joined to the third extended rounded surface;
- a second extended flat surface, smoothly connected to the fourth retracted rounded surface;
- a retracted flat surface, smoothly connected to the second extended flat surface;
- a fourth extended rounded surface, smoothly connected to the retracted flat surface;
- a fifth retracted rounded surface, smoothly connected to the fourth extended rounded surface;
- a fifth extended rounded surface, smoothly connected to the fifth retracted rounded surface;
- a sixth retracted rounded surface, smoothly connected to the fifth extended rounded surface;
- and
- a grip distal edge, smoothly connected to the sixth retracted rounded surface.
