AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The hat or cap protects the wearer from harmful solar radiation, especially UV rays that can cause skin and eye damage. The brim with a close-fitting wraparound style provides the best protection. The hat / cap also reduces overexposure to UVA radiation that may lead to cataracts and macular degeneration. Additionally, the hat / cap with UV brim helps reduce UVB rays that can cause skin growths and corneal problems.

Problems solved by technology

These growths on the eye's surface can become unsightly and cause corneal problems as well as distorted vision.

[0011]As used herein, the outside of crown portion 20 is the side visible to others when hat 1 is worn on a wearer's head, while the inside of crown portion 20 is the side facing the wearer's head when hat 1 is being worn. The opening of crown portion 20 is defined by a generally horizontal lower periphery 22. Crown portion 20 has a vertical central axis c that extends through the topmost point (i.e., the decorative button) of crown portion 20 and perpendicularly to lower periphery 22. The terms “horizontal” and “vertical,” as used herein, are relative terms connotating a perpendicular relationship, whereby the “horizontal” lower periphery may have any absolute orientation, and the “vertical” central axis will have the correspondingly perpendicular absolute orientation.

Abstract

A method for fabricating a hat or cap by forming a crown; and attaching a brim around said crown; and wherein said brim has at least 30% area with a UV material to block transmission of substantially all UV light.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a horizontally extending brim or visor on hats and caps.[0002]Caps and hats have long been used to protect the head and face from sunlight. However, conventional hats do not provide full visibility. Recently, brims or visors have been incorporated into hats and caps. Again, while shielding the wearer from sunlight, these devices partially block the view of the wearer.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]In one aspect, a hat with sunlight protection includes a crown and a laterally extending brim surrounding said crown, wherein at least thirty percent of the brim is an ultraviolet (UV) blocking material.[0004]In another aspect, a cap with sunlight protection includes a crown and a laterally extending brim surrounding said crown, wherein at least thirty percent of the brim is an ultraviolet (UV) blocking material.[0005]Implementations of the hat or cap can include one or more of the following. The brim has a surface can be curvy. The...
