Description

Visor for attachment to a cap or a headband or a clasp

The invention relates to a visor for attachment to a cap.

The invention also relates to the combination of a cap or a headband or a clasp with such a visor.

The present invention is concerned with visors that are suitable for protecting a person's face. Such visors can have attachment components with which they are attached directly to the head of the wearer. Often, however, visors are also attached to headgear, for example to protective helmets.

In the present case, it is a question of a visor, which is primarily made of transparent plastic. This is intended in particular to protect the wearer of the visor from droplet infection by other people whom the wearer of the visor encounters. Likewise, the other people who meet the wearer of the visor are protected from droplets of saliva finding their direct path from the wearer of the visor to the other people.

Often these tasks are nowadays performed by protective face masks. However, it is often tedious and exhausting to wear such face masks. It gets warm under such face protection masks, and the wearer of the face protection mask has to increase his breathing rate over the long term, since he transports a dead volume of oxygen-poor air with each breath.

Such visors should not only be used to protect against infections. Visors of the present type are also used in numerous manual activities, such as forestry, gardening and construction work. The invention is based on the object of developing a visor in such a way that it can be connected to its wearer in a reliable and variable manner.

This object is achieved with the features of the independent claim.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.

The invention consists in a visor for attachment to a cap or a forehead band or a clasp by means of snap fasteners, the visor comprising a plate as the main component, which has an upper edge and two side edges, in the upper corner areas of the plate in which the The upper edge and the side edges meet, a push-button component is provided in each case, and at least one stop component is provided at least partially below a section that connects the push-button components to one another. The snap fastener components, which are directly connected to the visor, are thus connected to counterparts that are directly connected to the cap or the headband or the clasp. The press studs are arranged in the corner areas of the plate so that, after the visor has been attached to the cap, they are positioned essentially laterally on the head of the wearer. Consequently, the rotatability of the push button components relative to their counterparts can be used to pivot the visor. By pivoting, it can assume a working position in front of the wearer's face, a parking position above the wearer's head and any number of intermediate positions. In order to ensure that the visor, when it is in its working position, does not pivot further downward so that an upper face area of the wearer would be exposed, at least one stop component is provided on the plate. With this stop component, the visor rests, for example, on the shield of the cap, and further downward pivoting of the visor will inadvertently not take place. The stop component acts as a brake in every position. This is particularly advantageous in the case of a headband or a clasp. The visor according to the invention is preferably rimless.

The present invention is described using the example of a visor with two Druckknopfkomponen th for attaching the visor to the cap. A plurality of snap fastener components can also be provided in one or each of the corner areas. In this way, the positioning of the visor relative to the cap or the headband can be adjusted or the clasp vary, or caps of different shapes can be equipped with the same visor according to the invention.

It is usefully provided that the plate is at least largely transparent. A transparent plate offers all-round visibility and at the same time protection against external influences.

It is particularly advantageous that the plate consists at least to a large extent of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This is a resistant material that, when the appropriate material thickness is selected, has sufficient elasticity and yet a certain stiffness so that the visor can be self-supporting, with the snap fasteners being brought to the appropriate points on the wearer's head by bending the visor regardless of the wearer's head size.

It can be advantageous that both snap fastener components are female snap fastener components. Correspondingly, the counterparts on the cap or the headband or the clasp are male snap fastener components.

However, it can also be provided that both snap fastener components are male snap fastener components. The counterparts on the cap or the headband or the clasp are then female snap fastener components.

In another embodiment it is provided that one snap fastener component is a male snap fastener component and the other snap fastener component is a female snap fastener component. The counterparts on the cap or the headband or the clasp must then be selected accordingly. If, for example, one thinks of visors with a shape that does not make it clear from the outset how to attach them to the cap, the option of using a male and a female push-button component on the visor ensures that the visor is only aimed precisely at one Way and is always correctly attached to the cap or the headband or the clasp.

Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the at least one stop component is a male snap fastener component. The male snap component is then attached to the visor in such a way that the protruding part of the snap component is directed towards the head of the wearer. The male snap fastener component te always remains above the cap plate, as the stop between the cap plate and the male push-button component prevents the visor from lowering further.

In this context, it is particularly useful that two stop components are arranged symmetrically to a vertical axis of symmetry of the visor. This ensures that the visor is always properly aligned. Furthermore, the support is distributed over several points on the shield by virtue of the visor. Of course, more than two stop components can also be provided.

Another embodiment of the present invention provides that the at least one stop component is at least one elongate stop strip. Such an elongated stop strip is attached to the inside of the visor. For example, the stop strip ver runs horizontally, protruding inward. When the visor is lowered into its working position, the stop strip lies on the shield of the cap, for example, preventing the visor from lowering any further. The stop component can also act as a brake over the pivoting path. It is also possible, please include two or more parallel stop strips. In this way, the visor has several working positions, depending on which stop strip you choose. When lowering, the visor will first come to rest with the lowest stop strip on the shield of the cap. If the wearer of the visor has not yet lowered the shield far enough at this point, he can lower the visor further with a little effort, so that the additional stop strip above it comes to rest on the shield. If there are more than two stop strips, other work positions can be selected in a comparable manner.

It is usefully provided that the elongate stop strip is a foam strip. A foam strip is particularly suitable because of its high flexibility. On the one hand, the flexible foam strip does not hinder the bending of the visor, which is necessary in order to attach the visor to the cap or the headband or the clasp. On the other hand, the flexible foam strip with a large contact area rests on the shield of the cap, for example, so that the contact force is distributed over a large area. The flexibility of the foam strip also helps to pivot the visor further downwards than a lower stop strip would require, just to select a lower working position when there are several parallel stop strips. According to a further embodiment of the present invention it is provided that the elongate stop strip is a wedge-shaped stop strip. In particular, the stop strip is at least partially clover-shaped. The stop strip (s) are then attached to the visor in such a way that when it is lowered, in the case of a cap, the thinner part of the wedge-shaped stop strip comes into the area of the shield. The stop strip can be pivoted over the edge of the shield, making contact with the shield immediately or later. In any case, the contact force between the stop strip and the shield increases with further United gifts. From a certain point on, the contact force is sufficient to prevent the visor from accidentally further pivoting downwards. From this point on there is subsequently a continuous infinite amount of work positions, with the contact force between the stop strip and the shield being increased as the lowering continues. In all of the above-mentioned solutions with stop strips, it is useful that these are glued to the visor. Stop strips that are self-adhesive are preferably used. There are several variants for the wedge shape of the stop strip. On the one hand, the stop strip can be wedge-shaped overall in one direction. From the bottom up, the stop strip becomes thicker and thicker. Furthermore, the stop strip can be partially wedge-shaped. It gets thicker and thicker from bottom to top until it has a maximum thickness. From then on, the stop strip always remains the same thickness. It is also possible for the stop strip to become thinner again towards the top after an area in which it always remains the same thickness. The stop strip thus develops from both directions in a ramp-like manner and becomes thicker. There is a plateau between the ramps. The plateau can also be omitted. The stop strip can therefore become thicker in a wedge shape from both directions, with the wedge-shaped areas meeting in an edge. The wedge-shaped shape of the stop strip in the upper area is used in particular to ensure that the visor is in the parking position. If the visor is folded all the way up or back, the upper area of the stop strip will come into contact with a rear loading area of the cap. The wedge-shaped shape of the stop strip brakes the pivoting of the visor, and the system of the wedge-shaped stop strip prevents the visor from inadvertently leaving the parking position.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the visor is further formed in such a way that two stop components made of foam are provided, each stop component being arranged over a push-button component and being penetrable by the push-button component. The functional part of the push-button component is located on the inside of the visor. Also on the inside of the visor is the associated stop Component attached, which covers the snap fastener component or surrounds it. A stop component made of foam is therefore provided around the push-button component, and the functional part of the push-button component can nevertheless be coupled to its counterpart on the cap. This arrangement of the stop components has the advantage that a stable parking position of the visor is already achieved when the visor is facing forward, that is, in the direction of view of the wearer. The stop component acts as a brake in every position. It is no longer necessary to pivot the visor further upwards in order to achieve a stable parking position. This has the advantage that there is no risk of bumping into the folded visor, which is in the parking position, for example when walking through a door. The foam stop components can be designed with an identical thickness over their entire surface. However, it can also be provided that they are again wedge-shaped in cross-section, whereby different wedge shapes can be envisaged, similar to the elongated stop strips. In particular, the stop components can become thinner towards the edge areas.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention it is provided that at least one Velcro component is provided for fastening a textile component by means of a Velcro connection. With such a textile component, the protective effect of the visor can be extended downwards. Furthermore, the textile component can be removed from the visor and replaced by loosening the Velcro connections. The textile component can still be used as a cloth to clean the visor.

It is of particular advantage that the upper edge of the visor is concave. This is useful with a view to pivoting the visor into its parked position, because it avoids the upper edge of the visor hitting the head. As a result, the visor can also be pivoted very far back in order to assume a position that is stable even in the parking position and that it will not leave without the intended action of the wearer.

According to a further embodiment it is provided that a hump is arranged centrally on the upper edge of the visor. As a result, the visor can be brought into a very low working position, while it still protects the wearer's face in a central area. On the side of the hump, however, there are ventilation paths which, in the case of a cap, allow warm and moist air to escape upwards from the space behind the visor and under the shield of the cap. A ventilation function can also be made available in that at least one ventilation slot is provided in an upper area of the visor.

According to another embodiment of the visor according to the invention it is provided that at least two visor-side band fastening devices for fastening an elastic band are provided in an upper region of the visor. An elastic band, which is attached on the one hand to the visor and on the other hand to the cap, can help when lifting the visor from the working position to the parked position and stabilize the visor in a parked position in which the visor is facing forward, i.e. in the direction of view of the wearer . Thus, based on the use of elastic bands, one can also provide the useful forward parking position.

According to a useful embodiment it is provided that the visor-side band fastening devices are holes which penetrate the visor. The elastic band is then simply pushed through a hole and fixed, for example, by adding a knot or other locking mechanism.

The invention also consists in a combination of a cap or a forehead band or a clasp and a visor according to the invention.

According to one of the embodiments of the present invention it is provided that in a lower edge region of the cap or the headband or the clasp at least two head-side strap fastening devices are provided for fastening one elastic strap in each case. The head-side fastening device is, depending on the application, a cap-side, headband-side or clasp-side fastening device. If the head-side tape fastening device is in the vicinity of the edge of the cap, the visor-side tape fastening device can be selected at such a height on the visor that the elastic tape runs essentially parallel to the edge of the cap when the visor is in the working position. In the working position, the elastic band then has its maximum tension, since the head-side band fastening device and the visor-side band fastening device are at a maximum distance. It is possible to deviate from this principle. For example, a little above the working position or a little below the working position only the maximum tension of the elastic band's rule can be achieved. In any case, the elastic band loses tension, when the visor is pivoted into the park position, since the visor-side Bandbe fastening devices and the head-side tape fastening devices approach each other.

As with the visor, it can be provided in connection with the cap or the headband or the clasp that the head-side strap fastening devices are holes which penetrate the cap or the headband or the clasp.

It is useful that the holes are made using hollow rivets.

The combination according to the invention is preferably designed in such a way that two elastic bands are provided, each elastic band being fastened on the one hand to a tape fastening device on the visor side and on the other hand to a head-side tape fastening device.

In a useful embodiment it is provided that each elastic band is equipped with a latch at each of its ends. Such a latch can be designed in such a way that it can be aligned both as an extension of the tape and can also be perpendicular to the tape. In the extended position, the latch helps thread the tape through the holes in the visor and cap or headband or clasp. After threading through, the latch is then set across so that the tape remains in the respective hole.

The combination according to the invention is preferably designed such that at least two push-button components are provided on the cap or the headband or the clasp, which can be coupled to the push-button components of the visor. A snap component on either side of the cap or headband or clasp is sufficient to securely attach the visor to it. This can be sufficient, especially for caps that by definition have a shield, because sometimes you always want the best possible closure between the shield and visor in the working position. A variation in the fastening can therefore be dispensed with.

This is different with headbands or clasps, so that the combination can advantageously be designed such that at least two push-button components are provided on each side of the cap or the headband or the clasp, which can be selectively coupled to the push-button components of the visor. If you have two or more snap fastener components on each side, the visor can be attached to different points on the headband or clasp. So you can determine the distance between see visor and head or face of the wearer vary. This is particularly useful for headbands and clasps that do not have a shield, but the possibility of variation can also be desirable for caps.

The invention also relates to a set with at least one plate for a visor according to the invention, at least one stop component that can be variably attached to it and at least two push-button components for attachment to a cap or a headband or a clasp, the plate having an upper edge and two side edges, wherein a snap fastener component is provided in each case in the upper corner regions of the plate in which the upper edge and the side edges meet. The snap fastener components should be chosen so that they can be easily attached to a cap or the headband or the clasp, that is, without complex tools. The snap fastener components can each consist, for example, of a part lying on the inside of the cap or the headband or the clasp and an outside part, with at least one of the parts penetrating the fabric of the cap or the headband or the clasp in order to be clipped together with the other part will. The stop components provided in the set can then be individually attached to the visor, i.e. preferably glued to the visor. In this way, the visor can be individually adapted to the cap to be used.

In the embodiment with elastic bands, the set is equipped in such a way that it contains two elastic bands.

In the following description of the drawings, the same reference symbols designate the same or comparable components.

Figure 1 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. The visor 10, which has a plate 22 made of transparent material as an essential component, has an upper edge 24 and two side edges 26, 28. The edges can be shaped in many ways. For example, any corners can be avoided, or other polygons can be selected as the basic shape of the visor. The areas in which the upper edge 24 and the side edges 26, 28 meet are referred to as corner areas 30, 32 of the visor 10, although gentle transitions between the edges without an actual corner are also possible here. In the corner areas 30, 32 of the visor 10, push button components 14, 16 are provided. At some distance from the upper edge 24 and also from the side edges 26, 28 two stop components 34, 36 are arranged in a horizontal line. These are located in a symmetrical arrangement with respect to the vertical axis of symmetry of the visor below a route that connects the push-button components 14, 16.

Figure 2 shows a plan view of an upper edge of a visor according to the invention. The snap fastener components 14, 16 are shown here as female snap fastener components. They penetrate the plate 22 near the top edge. The stop components 34, 36 are male snap fastener components. They are below the pressure Button components 14, 16 are arranged, which is not recognizable here, but is understandable in conjunction with FIG. 1.

FIG. 3 shows a cap to which a visor according to the invention can be attached. The cap 12 can be of the conventional nature commonly worn today. In particular, the cap 12 has a shield 38. Push-button components 18, 20 are arranged on the cap 12, which form the counterparts to the push-button components of the visor. The shield 38 serves as a counterpart to the stop components of the Vi siers.

FIG. 4 shows a combination of cap and visor, the visor being in its working position. FIG. 5 shows a cap and a visor, the visor being in an intermediate position. FIG. 6 shows a cap and a visor according to the invention, the visor being in a parking position. FIG. 7 shows a cap and a visor according to the invention in a side view, the visor being in a working position. In Figure 4, the visor is in its working position. It is pivoted down and it protects the wearer's face. A further downward pivoting of the visor 10 is not possible or it does not take place inadvertently, since the stop components 34, 36 rest on the shield 38 of the cap 12. As can be seen in Figure 5, the visor 10 can be easily pivoted upwards out of the working position by the relative rotatability of the push button components 14, 18; 16, 20 is used. The visor 10 is here in an intermediate position. In Figure 6, the visor has then reached its parking position. A position in which the visor 10 remains stable, that is, does not fall back in front of the wearer's face, can always be referred to as a parking position. The parking position can also be further forward or further back than is shown in FIG. Figure 7 shows again in a side view the working position and in particular the support of the stop components 34, 36 on the shield 38 of the cap 12. The position of the visor 10 relative to the face of the wearer can not only be achieved by pivoting the visor 10 relative to the cap 12 take place. Also by varying the position of the cap 12 relative to the face of the wearer, that is to say, for example, putting it on with the shield 38 pointing further upwards, different positions of the visor 10 can be realized.

FIG. 8 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. FIG. 9 shows a plan view of an upper edge of a visor according to the invention. In this embodiment of the visor according to the invention, the stop component is supported by a stop strip 40 is formed. This stop strip 40 is preferably made of foam. The foam strip is usefully self-adhesive and glued to the plate 22 of the visor 10 from the inside.

FIG. 10 shows a cap and a visor according to the invention in a side view, the visor being located just above its working position. If the visor 10 is lowered further down, the stop strip 40 lies on the shield 38 of the cap 12, whereby the working position of the visor 10 is reached.

FIG. 11 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. In this visor 10, two stop strips 40, 41 are provided so that the visor 10 has two working positions. If the visor 10 is lowered, the stop strip 41 first rests on the shield of the cap. With a flexible stop strip 41 in particular, the visor can be moved further downwards with a little effort, so that the stop strip 40 then rests on the shield of the cap, the second working position being assumed.

FIG. 12 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. FIG. 13 shows a plan view of an upper edge of a visor according to the invention. Here, two stop strips 42, 44 are attached to the plate 22 of the visor 10, preferably glued, and here too the stop strips 42, 44 usefully have a self-adhesive side. The stop strips 42, 44 are wedge-shaped. The thinner end of the wedge is the lower end of the stop strip 42, 44. When the visor 10 is lowered, this first comes near the shield of the cap, so that the visor 10 can initially be easily pivoted over the shield of the cap. With further pivoting, the thicker areas of the wedge come close to the shield of the cap, so that the force between the shield and cap increases. You can continuously vary the working position of the visor 10 in this way.

FIG. 14 shows a cap and a visor according to the invention, the visor being in a parked position. The attachment of the wedge-shaped stop strips can be seen here. The stop strips are only partially wedge-shaped here.

FIG. 15 shows a combination of cap and visor, the visor being in a working position. The visor 10 is here in one of its working positions, with an already very thick area of the wedge-shaped stop strip 42, 44 being connected to the shield 38 of the cap 12. Even if it is swiveled further upwards Visor 10 would hold the visor 10 securely in the working position then assumed.

FIG. 16 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. Here, a textile component 52 is fastened to the plate 22 of the visor 10 from the inside via Velcro connections 46, 48, 50. The textile component 52 extends the visor 10 downwards, thereby providing increased protection. Furthermore, the textile component 52 can be exchanged. Furthermore, the textile component 52 can be used to clean the visor 10. The present embodiment of the visor 10 with the textile component 52 is shown in connection with the embodiment of the visor 10, in which wedge-shaped stop strips 42, 44 are used. The textile component 52 fastened to the visor 10 via Velcro connections 46, 48, 50 can, however, also be a supplement to all other embodiments of visors 10 that are described here. The textile component can also be coupled to the visor in other ways. It can be clipped, clamped, glued or magnetically connected to the visor.

FIG. 17 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. Two ventilation slots 54, 56 are provided in the vicinity of the upper edge 24 of the visor 10. This makes working with the visor 10 more pleasant, since accumulated warm and moist air can escape upwards.

FIG. 18 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. Figure 19 shows a combination of cap and visor. On the upper edge 24 of the visor 10, a hump 58 is arranged in the middle. This offers the possibility of bringing the visor into a comparatively low working position, with the visor 10 nevertheless providing protection in a central area in this position. However, ventilation paths 60, 62 can be provided to the left and right of the hump 58 in order to allow moist and warm air to escape upwards.

FIG. 20 shows various forms of a stop strip in a side view. The stop strips are each shown in side view, that is, with their underside who they attached to the inside of the visor, namely preferably glued. The qua der-shaped stop strip 40 according to FIG. 20a is preferably used in the embodiments according to FIGS. 9 to 11 and 17. The wedge-shaped or partially wedge-shaped stop strips 42 according to FIG. 20b, FIG. 20c and FIG. 20d are preferably used in connection with the embodiments according to FIGS. 12 to 16 and FIGS. 18 and 19. FIG. 21 shows a combination of cap 12 and visor 10, the visor 10 being in a working position. FIG. 22 shows a combination of cap 12 and visor 10, the visor 10 being in an intermediate position. FIG. 23 shows a combination of cap 12 and visor 10, the visor being in a parking position. The visor 10 or the combination of visor 10 and cap 12 is similar in many respects to the embodiments according to FIGS. 12 to 15. In particular, wedge-shaped stop strips are provided on the visor 10, only the left wedge-shaped stop strip 44 being visible here. On the right-hand side, the visor 10 is equipped in the same or a comparable manner. On the visor 10 shown here, however, a visor-side fastening device 64 is also provided. A head-side fastening device 68 is also provided on the cap 12. At these fastening devices 64, 68 an elastic band 66, for example a rubber band, is attached. The rubber band 66 runs on the outside of the visor 10 and on the outside of the cap 12. The fastening devices 64, 68 are preferably holes in the visor 10 and cap 12, the elastic band 66 being pushed from the outside through the holes 64, 68 in order to then remove it lock inside. This locking can for example take place simply in that the elastic band 66 is knotted at its ends. In the working position according to FIG. 21, the fastening devices have a maximum or almost maximum spacing, so that the elastic band 66 is maximally or almost maximally tensioned. The elastic band 66 runs essentially parallel to the edge of the cap 12. It stabilizes the working position of the visor 10. If the visor 10 is pivoted upwards out of the working position, i.e. via the intermediate position according to FIG helps the elastic cal band when lifting the visor 10. The elastic band 66 helps to hold the visor 10 in its parked position, the visor 10 is here forward, namely by a balance of forces between the weight of the visor 10 and the elastic force of the band 66. In the representations according to FIGS. 21 to 23, only one elastic band 66 can be seen. Preferably, the construction is also symmetrical with regard to these features, that is, on the right side of the combination of cap 12 and visor 10, an elastic band is also fixed in corresponding fastening devices.

FIG. 24 shows a front view of a visor 10 according to the invention. The stop strips cannot be seen here because they are covered by stickers 78, 80 which are glued onto the outside of the visor 10. In addition to those already used in other The fastening devices 64, 65 on the visor side can be seen here with known features. On each side of the visor, three visor-side fastening devices 64, 65 are provided, each of which penetrates the visor 10 as holes. Depending on the mechanical conditions, a certain one of the visor-side fastening devices 64, 65 for fastening the elastic band can be selected on each side. The visor-side fastening devices 64, 65 can also be combined. For example, the elastic band can be passed through an inner visor-side fastening device 64 from the outside to the inside and through a further outward-lying visor-side fastening device or through a further down or further above visor-side fastening device 64 can be led out again. This allows the tensioning force of the elastic band to be changed.

FIG. 25 shows an end region of an elastic band 66 with a latch 72, the latch 72 being in a first position. FIG. 26 shows an end region of an elastic band 66 with a latch 72, the latch 72 being in a second position. At the end of the elastic band 66 shown here, a bolt 72 is vorgese hen. This makes it unnecessary to prevent the elastic band 66 from leaving the hole in the visor or cap by knotting. In the position of the bolt 72 shown in FIG. 25, the band 66 together with the bolt 72 can easily be passed through a hole. In the transverse position of the latch 72, the tape 66 is prevented from slipping out of the hole.

FIG. 27 shows an elastic band 66 with latch 72 while it is being inserted into a hole in a cap 12. It can be seen here that the fastening device 68 on the head side is implemented by means of a hollow rivet 70. The latch 72 is essentially an extension of the elastic band 66, so that the elastic band 66 together with the latch 72 can be passed through the hollow rivet 70 in the cap 12 in a simple manner.

FIG. 28 shows an elastic band 66 with a latch in the fixed state. It is shown here that the latch 72 is perpendicular to the elastic band 66. The band 66 can therefore no longer slip out of the hole in the cap 12.

FIG. 29 shows a cap 12 and a visor 10 according to the invention, the visor being in a working position. FIG. 30 shows a cap 12 and a visor 10 according to the invention, the visor being in an intermediate position. Figure 31 shows a combination of cap 12 and visor 10, the visor being in a parking position. finds. In this embodiment of the visor 10 according to the invention, it is equipped with two stop components 74 made of foam, each stop component being arranged at the location of one of the push-button components 14. In the present Be tenansicht the Druckknopfkom component 14 and the associated stop component 74 can be seen, the construction on the other side of the visor being the same or comparable. The foam stop component 74 is glued onto the visor 10 from the inside. The stop component 74 enables the functional part of the snap fastener component 14 to be coupled to the counterpart on the cap 12. The stop component 74 holds the visor 10 in each of the positions shown, that is, the working position according to FIG. 29, the intermediate position according to FIG. 30 and the parking position according to FIG. 31. The stop components 74 serve as “brakes” to prevent unintentional pivoting of the visor 10 relative to the cap 12.

FIG. 32 shows a front view of a visor according to the invention. In addition to the already explained features of the visor 10 according to the invention, stickers 78, 80 can be seen here, which cover the foam components attached to the other side of the visor 10schlagkom. The stickers 78, 80 essentially have the shape of the foam stop components underneath. They essentially follow the contours of the visor, with an upper side initially running essentially straight and then forming an arc downwards. This arc continues until the inner, essentially straight edge of the sticker 78 or the foam stop components is reached. An upper edge and an inner edge of the stop component that adjoins it are straight. For example, you can stand essentially perpendicular to one another. The corner that connects the upper edge and the inner edge of the stop component to one another is preferably rounded off. The other ends of the upper edge and the inner edge are connected to one another via an arcuate outer edge. In another embodiment, it can also be provided that the stop component is circular. It is then preferably penetrated in its center by the snap fastener component. In addition to foam, which is often relatively soft, harder plastics can also be used or plastics which, due to their elasticity, always find their basic shape even after prolonged or frequent squeezing. For example, PU foams, PVC foams, latex foams, silicone foams, hard rubber or combinations of these materials can be used. FIG. 33 shows a perspective view of a headband with a partially attached visor. The forehead band 82 includes a forehead component 84 and a back of the head component 86. The forehead component 84 is wider than the back of the head component 86. The forehead component 84 is essentially inelastic, while the back of the head component 86 is an elastic rubber band. Four snap components 18, 18 ', 20, 20' are attached to the forehead component 84 of the forehead band 82 such that when one is wearing the head band 82, they are positioned on the side of the head, for example slightly above and in front of the ears. The visor 10 with a visible stop component 76 is attached to one of the push-button components 20, 20 ′ on the left-hand side, here on the push-button component 20 , 18 'are visible. By arranging two or more snap fastener components on the headband, the position of the visor 10 relative to the headband 82 and thus also relative to the head of the wearer can be varied.

Figure 34 shows a perspective view of a headband with a visor attached. The fastening of the visor 10 to the front, now covered, push-button component 20 (see FIG. 33) can be seen here, while the rear push-button component 20 'is unused.

FIG. 35 shows a headband and a visor according to the invention, the visor being in a working position. FIG. 36 shows a headband and a visor according to the invention, the visor being in an intermediate position. FIG. 37 shows a forehead band and a visor according to the invention, the visor being in a parking position. In FIG. 35, the visor 10 is in its working position. The stop component 76 can be seen in the area of the left push button component 16. The stop component 76, which is preferably a foam component, rubs against the headband 82, whereby a braking effect is provided. Without intervention by the wearer, the visor does not or only rarely adjusts unintentionally. In Figure 36, the visor 10 is slightly raised. It could also remain in this position, since the stop component 76 acting as a brake always applies a braking effect. In FIG. 37, a useful parking position has already been reached and the visor is essentially horizontally forward. The stop component 76 also brakes the visor 10 in this position by means of friction on the headband 82. In the illustrated embodiments of the present invention, different types of caps are shown, namely caps with a closed head part and caps with an open head part. The various visors can be combined with any of the cap variants shown. All the features that are shown in connection with headbands can also be implemented in connection with caps. The same applies in reverse for all features shown in connection with caps, unless it is crucial that the cap has a shield. In addition to caps and headbands, it is also within the scope of the invention to use clips, such as those that are normally used for hairstyles. A clasp is worn so that it is closed at the front and open at the back. A visor can be attached to a clasp in the same way as it can be attached to a headband.

The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, in the drawings and in the claims can be essential for the implementation of the invention both individually and in any combination.
