Abstract

A cap including a plurality of pie-shaped sections forming a cover; a rim connecting a first end of each of the plurality of pie-shaped sections; at least one of the plurality of pie-shaped sections being a cap replacement section, wherein the cap replacement section has a first attaching part along a first section side, a second attaching part along a second section side, and a third attaching part along a section end; a first matching attaching part on a first pie-shaped section adjacent to the cap replacement section; a second matching attaching part on a second pie-shaped section adjacent to the cap replacement section and opposite the first pie-shaped section; and a third matching attaching part on the rim between the first pie-shaped section and the second pie-shaped section.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cap comprising:
 a plurality of pie-shaped sections forming a cover;   a rim connecting a first end of each of the plurality of pie-shaped sections;   at least one of the plurality of pie-shaped sections being a cap replacement section, wherein the cap replacement section has a first attaching part along a first section side, a second attaching part along a second section side, and a third attaching part along a section end;   a first matching attaching part on a first pie-shaped section adjacent to the cap replacement section;   a second matching attaching part on a second pie-shaped section adjacent to the cap replacement section and opposite the first pie-shaped section; and   a third matching attaching part on the rim between the first pie-shaped section and the second pie-shaped section.   
     
     
         2 . The cap of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an attachable button on the cap replacement section; and   a matching attachable button on the cap for connecting to the attachable button and securing cap replacement section to the cap.   
     
     
         3 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein the first, second, and third attaching parts and first, second, and third matching attaching parts are one of hook and loop fasteners or magnets. 
     
     
         4 . The cap of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second matching attaching parts are attached to an inner side of each pie-shaped section and the third matching attaching part is attached to an inner side of the rim. 
     
     
         5 . The cap of  claim 4 , wherein the cap replacement section is flush with the other plurality of pie-shaped sections when the first, second, and third attaching parts and the first, second, and third matching attaching parts are brought together. 
     
     
         6 . The cap of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an inner liner under the plurality of pie-shaped sections.   
     
     
         7 . The cap of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a plurality of material strips, each strip between the inner side of the each pie-shaped section and the first and second matching attaching parts and the inner side of the rim and the third matching attaching part.   
     
     
         8 . A method comprising:
 inserting a cap replacement section into each of at least one pie-shaped opening in a cap, the cap including a cover having a plurality of pie-shaped sections.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the cap replacement section is pie-shaped. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein each inner side of the cap replacement section has an attaching part. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one pie-shaped opening is bordered on a first side and a second side by one of the plurality of pie-shaped sections and an end by a rim of the cap. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the bordering pie-shaped sections and the rim have matching attaching parts that match the cap replacement section attaching parts. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the cap replacement section is flush with the plurality of pie-shaped sections when the attaching parts and the matching attaching parts are brought together. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the cap replacement section has an attachable button and the cap has a matching attachable button. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 securing the cap replacement section to the cap by connecting the attachable button and the matching attachable button.   
     
     
         16 . A cap replacement section comprising:
 a first material shaped in the form of one of a plurality of pie-shaped sections of a cap; and   a first attaching part on a first side of the first material, a second attaching part on a second side of the first material, and a third attaching part on a bottom side of the first material.   
     
     
         17 . The cap replacement section of  claim 16 , wherein the first material matches a second material of the plurality of pie-shaped sections. 
     
     
         18 . The cap replacement section of  claim 16 , wherein the first, second, and third attaching parts are one of hook and loop fasteners or magnets. 
     
     
         19 . The cap replacement section of  claim 16 , wherein the first, second, and third attaching parts are under an inner surface of the first material. 
     
     
         20 . The cap replacement section of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 an attachable button for securing the cap replacement section to the cap.
