Embodiment Construction

[0015]The following is the process for making the device. The description will use the actual parts that have been in use currently, but other sizes and materials may be substituted and used in the same basic device.

Parts Needed:

[0016]2—Spring Clips (Alligator style)[0017]1—20″ Length of 550 Paracord[0018]2—“O” rings[0019]2—Pieces of Heat Shrink tubing

The Process:

[0020]1. Pass the cord through “O” ring B.[0021]2. Place “O” ring B inside of “O” ring A.[0022]3. Pass the cord back through the other side of “O” ring B. The cord will form a closed loop on one side of the combined “O” rings, and will leave the two free ends on the other side (see FIG. 2).[0023]4. Slide the 1 piece of heat shrink tubing loosely over the each of the two free ends of cord.[0024]5. Place the tubular end of the alligator clips over the free ends of the cord, and crimp them on with pliers[0025]6. Slide the heat shrink tubing over the crimped area of the alligator clip, and heat to shrink the tubing, to make a n...

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0001]A strap to keep headwear on the head of the user that also has other multi-purpose utility. The device is composed of one cord (line, string, strap, rope) with alligator style spring clips attached to the two free ends. The alligator clips attach to the lower edge of the hat just forward of the wearers ears, and the cord passes under the chin of the wearer. There is a tensioning device on the strap where it passes under the chin. The tensioning device is made from two “O” rings mated together perpendicular to each other, one vertical and one horizontal, the horizontal one is slightly compressed to an oval shape as it passes through the vertical “O” ring. The cord passes through the horizontal “O” ring going down one side and back up through it on the other side, forming a loop below the tensioning device. This device offers choice of attachment location on the hat to accommodate various head shapes, and the tensioning device allows for a gentle bu...
