(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cap having a visor with a soft inner edge, particularly to one that is suitable for wear on a human's head such that the rear edge of the visor can make only soft contact with the wearer's forehead and greatly improves the wearer's comfort when wearing the cap.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Headgear is always popular with consumers, who wear headgear for the purposes of shading rain and sun, head protection, costume styling, etc.
In various headgear articles, a baseball cap is among the most popular, since it is neat in style, convenient to wear, and suitable to people of all ages and both sexes. However, regarding the traditional baseball cap, in order to maintain the visor's shape, it is necessary to dispose a stiff board inside of the outer fabric of the visor. Given the different contours of the wearers' foreheads, the board applied to the wearer's forehead would render an uncomfortable feeling to the wearer after wearing the caps for a period of time due to the pressure of the stiff board of the visor imposed on the wearer' forehead. Accordingly, there is a need to improve the caps of the prior art.
In view of the above, the motive carried by the invention is to improve the disadvantages existing in the prior art by way of providing a cap that has a visor with a resilient inner edge and can be transformed to perfectly fit the wearer's forehead to allow the wearer to wear the cap comfortably.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a cap having a visor with a soft inner edge. As the rear edge of the visor is made of a soft material which can be automatically adjusted according to the contour of the wearer's forehead and perfectly fit the wearer's forehead, the wearer will feel rather comfortable at the time of wearing the cap.
The secondary object of the invention is to provide a cap having a visor with a soft inner edge, the visor of which can be freely folded up for carrying purposes.
To obtain the above objects, the invention includes a visor and a crown. The visor board is composed of both soft and hard materials, which are covered by an outer fabric to form a visor, and subsequently combined with the crown to accomplish a cap. Accordingly, when a wearer is wearing the cap and contacting with the rear edge of the visor, which is made of a soft material, his/her forehead would feel comfortable. Meanwhile, as the board of the visor can be made of a soft material, it is feasible to have the visor folded up for carrying purposes.

As shown in
In view of the above, in the cap structure according the invention, the rear edge of the visor is provided with a soft material, which can be applied to various wearers' foreheads. When the wearer is wearing the cap, the soft rear edge of the visor will automatically transform to conform to the contour of the wearer's forehead, thereby the wearer will feel comfortable with the cap he/she is wearing.
Concluded above, given the unique design of the soft rear edge of the visor, the front edge of the cap periphery (i.e. the rear edge of the visor) can be automatically adjusted and transformed.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
