Benefits of technology
This patent describes a new liner for hats or caps that has several technical benefits. The design of the liner allows for better cushioning and protection of the user's head and scalp. It also provides enhanced thermal comfort for users who do not have hair. The liner is easy to manufacture and market, and is a cost-effective solution for the consumer. The presence of a curve relief indentation makes it easy to assemble and remove from the cap, and the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is particularly suited for shipment by hat manufacturers due to its flat sheet-like body. Overall, this liner improves the performance of hats or caps and provides users with better comfort and protection.
Problems solved by technology
The prior art is replete with hat or cap liners that attempt to address the problem of providing a degree of cushion for protecting a person's head or scalp but these liners do not include a unique design pattern allowing for relatively easy and practical packaging and ease of assembly for a user.
The prior art is also replete with hat or cap liners that attempt to address the problem of providing a degree of thermal insulation for a person's head but these liners also fail to include a unique design pattern that allows for relatively easy and practical packaging and assembly in the field by a wearer.
Individuals can be susceptible to bumping their head or scraping their scalp while wearing a cap because the visor or bill attached to the cap can unfortunately impede their vision; particularly at head-level obstacles.
This problem can lead to injury for a user while they are carrying out everyday activities such as getting groceries out of the trunk of a car or by just simply getting in and out of an automobile.
However, problems exist in these prior art designs.

Embodiment Construction
[0022]FIG. 1 shows the preferred embodiment of the hat or cap liner 100 prior to being assembled. The liner 100 consists of two substantially identical opposed sides having a flat sheet-like body that includes a unique design pattern for fitting into a hat or cap. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the liner 100 consists of formable lightweight, low water absorption and vapor transmission material. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the material used for the hat or cap liner 100 consists of fine-celled, irradiated crosslinked foam known by the commercial name Volara®. Volara® is a material which is available from Sekisui Voltek, LLC. However, the hat or cap liner can be made from other types of materials and will not deviate from the intent of the invention so long as the same unique design pattern is used.
[0023]The hat or cap liner 100 as shown in FIG. 1 includes a front portion 110, a central portion 120 also referred to as the center line of indentatio...
