Abstract

A headwear piece comprises a crown portion having side flaps and an open back adapted to easily pass through a user's bundle of hair, and a visor portion conjoined with the crown portion. An elastic headband portion is operatively affixed at the juncture of the crown and visor portions. The headband portion is adapted at each end to engage one of the side flaps. The engaged side flaps are used to resiliently clip the crown portion onto a user's head.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A headwear piece, comprising: 
 a crown portion having side flaps and an open back adapted to pass through a user's bundle of hair;    a visor portion conjoined with said crown portion; and    a substantially elastic headband portion operatively affixed at the juncture of said crown and visor portions and adapted at each end to engage one of said side flaps, said engaged side flaps being used to resiliently clip said crown portion onto a user's head.    
   
   
       2 . The headwear piece of  claim 1 , wherein said crown and visor portions are adapted for application of insignia.  
   
   
       3 . The headwear piece of  claim 1 , wherein said headband portion includes a resiliently shaped strip being enclosed in a casing, said resiliently shaped strip having a first end and a second end.  
   
   
       4 . The headwear piece of  claim 3 , wherein said resiliently shaped strip is made of plastic.  
   
   
       5 . The headwear piece of  claim 3 , wherein said resiliently shaped strip is made of metal.  
   
   
       6 . The headwear piece of  claim 3 , wherein said casing is flexible.  
   
   
       7 . The headwear piece of  claim 3 , wherein said resiliently shaped strip has a substantially arc-shaped configuration in a first unstretched state.  
   
   
       8 . The headwear piece of  claim 7 , wherein said first and second ends of said substantially arc-shaped strip move away from each other to accommodate the curvature of a user's head.  
   
   
       9 . The headwear piece of  claim 8 , wherein said first and second ends of said substantially arc-shaped strip retract toward each other until said substantially arc-shaped strip resumes said first unstretched state.  
   
   
       10 . The headwear piece of  claim 7 , further comprising a padded sweatband being affixed to one side of said casing.  
   
   
       11 . The headwear piece of  claim 10 , wherein said affixed padded sweatband is adapted to cushion the pressure exerted by said substantially arc-shaped strip against a user's head.  
   
   
       12 . The headwear piece of  claim 11 , wherein said padded sweatband is disposed along the entire circumference of said headband portion.  
   
   
       13 . The headwear piece of  claim 11 , wherein said padded sweatband is adapted to cover portions of said headband portion.  
   
   
       14 . A headwear piece, comprising: 
 a crown portion having first and second side flaps and an open back adapted to pass through a user's bundle of hair;    a visor portion conjoined with said crown portion; and    a headband portion operatively affixed at the juncture of said crown and visor portions and including a resiliently shaped strip and a padded sweatband being enclosed in a casing,    said resiliently shaped strip having first and second ends and a substantially arc-shaped configuration in a first unstretched state, said first and second ends being adapted respectively to engage said first and second side flaps, said engaged side flaps being used to resiliently clip said crown portion onto a user's head.    
   
   
       15 . The headwear piece of  claim 14 , wherein said substantially arc-shaped strip is made of plastic.  
   
   
       16 . The headwear piece of  claim 14 , wherein said substantially arc-shaped strip is made of metal.  
   
   
       17 . The headwear piece of  claim 14 , wherein said casing is flexible.  
   
   
       18 . The headwear piece of  claim 14 , wherein said padded sweatband is sandwiched between said substantially arc-shaped strip and said casing.  
   
   
       19 . The headwear piece of  claim 18 , wherein said padded sweatband is affixed to an interior surface of said casing.  
   
   
       20 . The headwear piece of  claim 18 , wherein said padded sweatband is affixed to said substantially arc-shaped strip.  
   
   
       21 . The headwear piece of  claim 14 , wherein said first and second ends of said substantially arc-shaped strip move away from each other to accommodate the curvature of a user's head.  
   
   
       22 . The headwear piece of  claim 21 , wherein said first and second ends of said substantially arc-shaped strip retract toward each other until said substantially arc-shaped strip resumes said first unstretched state.  
   
   
       23 . The headwear piece of  claim 18 , wherein said padded sweatband is adapted to cushion the pressure exerted by said substantially arc-shaped strip against a user's head.  
   
   
       24 . The headwear piece of  claim 19 , wherein said padded sweatband is adapted to cushion the pressure exerted by said substantially arc-shaped strip against a user's head.  
   
   
       25 . The headwear piece of  claim 20 , wherein said padded sweatband is adapted to cushion the pressure exerted by said substantially arc-shaped strip against a user's head.  
   
   
       26 . The headwear piece of  claim 18 , wherein said sweatband is disposed along the entire circumference of said substantially arc-shaped strip.  
   
   
       27 . The headwear piece of  claim 18 , wherein said sweatband is adapted to provide padded cover for portions of said substantially arc-shaped strip.
