Abstract

The headgear with eyewear attachment is a device that allows a user to wear and interchange eyewear that is attached to a headgear. The eyewear is attached to the visor of the headgear by a removably attachable fastener that can be separated when desired. The headgear may be any sort of hat or headband having a visor. The eyewear may be prescription glasses, or ultraviolet eyewear. The headwear and eyewear combination would also have an envelope to hold personal possessions such as money, credit cards, identification cards. The envelope would be disposed in the visor where a top brim portion and a bottom brim portion of the visor would define the envelope. The envelope would be accessed from the inside of the headgear where the user's forehead meets the visor. The entire headgear could be waterproof being made of buoyant material to keep the headgear afloat if dropped in water.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to headgear, such as a cap or visor, having an eyewear attachment, such as sunglasses, integrated with the headgear. BACKGROUND ART [0002] People who are active in the outdoors must protect their eyes from the damaging effects of the sun. Many people who work or play outdoors find it difficult to maintain their active lifestyles when encumbered by eyewear, such as prescription glasses or ultraviolet (UV) eyewear. Devices have been developed or proposed for supporting eyewear on headgear. However, an adjustable, portable and easily exchangeable device is needed that is comfortable, safe and provides maximum ease in use. It would further be desirable that the headgear be waterproof and have a pocket to hold small essential articles, such as identification cards or money. [0003] Numerous headgear combined with eyewear have been developed where the eyewear can rest against a visor. U.S. Patent Publication Number 2002 / 0129433, publishe...
