Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fine cap-adjusting accessory of the type with a rear cut-out in the shape of an inverted U, the ends of which are connected to each other through a so-called "Snapback" closure and adjustment system in which there are two plastic bands, which selectively button together, to adjust it to each user's head size.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide an accessory piece for this type of cap that allows for twice as many adjustment positions for the cap, that is, that reduces by half the adjustment space between the different positions offered by the cap in order to obtain a much better fit.
  • Snapback closure and adjustment system
  • This consists of a rear cut-out in the shape of an inverted “U”, the bottom ends of which are connected to each other using two plastic bands, which selectively button together, to adjust it to each user's head size.
  • a "male" band is defined from which a plurality of prongs extend, distributed linearly and equidistant from one another, whereas in the female part there are a plurality of holes distributed linearly and equidistant from one another, or the right shape and size to receive the prongs on the male part.
  • These parts can be connected to each other in different positions of partial overlap, the possible positions depending on the longitudinal separation between them, so this separation is determined by the number of prongs and holes in each part and the predetermined distance between these, normally offering seven different positions.
  • the suggested cap-adjusting accessory fully and satisfactorily resolves the aforementioned problem, based on a simple but very effective solution with a minimum manufacturing/acquisition cost.
  • the suggested part is intended to be fitted onto the male band of the cap's fastening system, its use going unnoticed, generating new potential adjustment positions in addition to those offered by the cap initially, and which correspond to the intermediate adjustment points between pairs of prongs/holes, that is, reducing the minimum adjustment margin of the cap by half and thus allowing for a much more accurate adjustment of the cap.
  • the invented accessory takes the form of a laminar body, sturdy but flexible, similar to the bands in the cap's closure system, but with the specific feature that this part has a plurality of prongs, distributed linearly and equidistant from one another, with the same spacing between them as on the male band of the closure system, but with the specific feature that there are a plurality of holes between these prongs, distributed linearly and also equidistant from one another.
  • This structure means that the accessory can be fitted onto the male band of the cap's closure system through its holes, into which the prongs of this male band will be connected, meaning that there will be half the defined distance between the prongs of the male band and the unaligned prongs of the accessory, in such a way that these unaligned prongs will be used to connect to the female band of the cap.
  • the accessory offers a similar or even identical number of positions as those offered by the cap initially, its selective use, that is, using it or not using it, allows the cap to offer twice the number of adjustment positions as a whole. Therefore, there will be users who do not need to use the device as the cap perfectly fits their head in one of the initial positions offered by the cap adjustment system, and there will be other users who need to install the accessory so that the cap fits perfectly to the contour of their head.
  • the cap-adjusting accessory is intended to be positioned on the male band (1) of the cap's fastening system, this being of the type where the cap incorporates a rear cut-out in the shape of an inverted "U", from the bottom ends of which (2-2') extend a male band (1) and a female band (3), the male band (1) having a plurality of prongs (4), distributed linearly and at an equidistant distance (d), whereas the female band (3) has a plurality of holes (5), distributed linearly and also equidistant from each other at a distance (d).
  • the accessory of the invention takes the form of an elongated laminar body (6), of sturdy and flexible plastic, with a similar configuration to the bands in the cap closure system, with the specific feature that a plurality of prongs (4') are established on this laminar body (6) distributed linearly and equidistant from each other, with the specific feature that a plurality of holes (5') are established between these prongs, distributed linearly and also equidistant from each other at a distance (d).
  • the configuration of the accessory allows it to be connected to the male band (1) of the cap's closure system through its holes (5'), into which the prongs (4) of this male band (1) will be fitted, meaning that there will be a distance (d/2), that is, half the defined distance between the prongs of the male band and the unaligned prongs (4') of the accessory, in such a way that these unaligned prongs will be used for attachment to the female band (3) of the cap through its corresponding holes (5).
  • the cap can offer twice the possible adjustment combinations, in this case fourteen, for the same maximum separation, that is, reducing the minimum degree of adjustment permitted by the system by half.
  • the device has a rounded configuration at one end and is straight at the other, it is obvious that this configuration is irrelevant, and it can be a fully symmetrical piece at its ends, both rounded, straight or with any other appropriate configuration, without affecting the essence of the invention.
