Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to attach various accessories to a baseball- or golf-style hat or visor using magnets. The hat has several magnets embedded in the visor or bill section. These magnets are secured in place with adhesive tape before the hat fabric is installed. This prevents the magnets from moving or getting wet, which could cause them to rust. The technical effect of this method is that it allows for easy and secure attachment of various accessories to the hat or visor without damaging them or compromising their appearance.

Problems solved by technology

It is difficult, however, to secure such items to caps, hats or visors due the material of the headwear and other factors.
