Description

Aug. 3, 1948. L. L. LINDLEY RAIN VISOR Filed July 13, 1945 INVENTOR, LESTER L. LINDLEY BY (04 Q mm,
ATTORNEY.
Patented Aug. 3, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE RAIN VISOR Lester L. Lindley, San Francisco, Calif.
Application July 13, 1945, Serial No. 604,787
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to a rain visor for use on uniform caps of all kinds; the major objects being to provide a, visor for the purpose which will fit all size caps, which may be worn with and will fit all standard cap covers; which does not hide the insignia or gold visor band nor detract from the appearance of the cap; which prevents rain from running down the back of the neck and from getting in the ears; which protects the hair of women wearers; and which can be rolled up into a neat and small roll to be conveniently carried in a pocket.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a, uniform cap equipped with the improved rain visor.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the rain visor detached.
Figure 3 is an enlarged cross section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the rain visor partially rolled up.
Referring to the numerals of reference on the drawings, l denotes a uniform cap having the usual rigid oval-surrounding cap band 2 from the front of which the conventional cap visor 3 depends.
The rain visor comprises a band 4 of non-inflammable transparent plastic mat-erial adapted to closely engage the cap band 2 from around the back but whose ends terminate short of each other at the front of the cap. The band 4 may be reinforced by a. relatively narrow band or flange 5 on the outside at the top.
Secured on and exending about the band 4 in depending relation with an outward and downward flare is the rain deflecting member 5 of the visor, or what is actually the visor, itself. This member is deepest at the back and shallows gradually to the front ends of band 4 as shown in Figure 3, the member at said ends overlapping the cap visor 3 somewhat as shown in Figure 1.
A relatively small transparent panel 1 extends across the front of the cap band 2 above cap visor 3, being of sufficlent length to overlap the ends of band 4 somewhat.
At one end, panel 1 is connected by a link 8 with a small plate 9 which is pivotally connected to band 4 as at l0 adjacent the junction of said band with the rain visor 6.
At the opposite end, panel I is connected by 59 a link II with another plate I2, similar to plate 9 and which is detachably connected to the visor band 4 by a disengageable snap-fitting unit l3.
The links may be connected with the respective plates at different points in the length of the latter, so that the one visor may be adjusted to fit cap bands of different sizes.
The rain visor 6 is preferably connected to band 4 by lapping bendable strips l4 as shown in Figure 3 so that said band and visor may be readily laid out in alinement with each other transversely for rolling up as shown in Fig. 4, while maintaining the visor firmly attached to the band so that it is not liable to collapse when in place about a cap. v
I claim:
A rain shield for caps comprising a hand adapted to encircle the greater portion of the upstanding sides of a uniform cap, a panel having adjustable connecting members adapted to encircle the remainder of said cap and be detachably secured to one of the ends of said band and be pivotally secured to the other end, a flexible visor secured to said band at the lower edge thereof having an outer edge Of such length as to cause it to assume an outwardly projecting and relatively slight downwardly sloping position relative to said band when the latter is secured in place on a cap.
LESTER L. LINDLEY.
