Curved bill

Abstract

A flexible bill includes a plurality of flexible line segments disposed inside the bill to keep a fashioned curve according to the line segments influenced by an outer force. The bill 1 is combined to a crown 2 to form a cap by stitching a rear fringe of the bill to a front fringe of the crown 2 . Said bill 1 includes a lining 13 made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) clothed by twill 11 . At least, three flexible line segments 12 are disposed between the EVA lining 13 and the twill 11 . Flexible line segments are arrayed side to side in parallel to the bill equidistantly. They can be disposed above or below the bill 1 . The flexible line segments 12 are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE).

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A curved bill comprising: a rear fringe coupled to a front edge of a crown portion by stitching, said bill includes a layer of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) covered by a twill layer with a plurality of high density polyethylene flexible line segments stitched along an inner side of said bill said plurality of line segments are parallel and equally spaced from each other, whereby the bill can be retained in a fixed shape upon bending of the bill; wherein a first respective end of said plurality of line segments is attached at a first rear end of the bill and extends in a U-shape such that second respective ends of said plurality of line segments is attached at a second rear end of the bill spaced from said first end. 
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The curved bill of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of line segments extend across said bill in a transverse configuration. 
     
     
         4 . The curved bill of  claim 1  wherein the said plurality of line segments extend in a longitudinal direction from said rear end to a front end of the bill. 
     
     
         5 . The curved bill of  claim 1  wherein a diameter of the flexible line segment is in the range of 0.6˜1.5 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The curved bill of  claim 1  wherein the number of said flexible line segment is in the range of 3˜20 segments. 
     
     
         7 . The curved bill of  claim 1  wherein both ends of stitches S, which extend between the crown and the bill, meet both ends of the line segments by stitching, where both ends of curved line segments are converged to a middle portion of the stitches S.
