vrson Application filed April 16, 1928. Serial No. 270,313.

This invention relates to visors and is more particularly related to a visor formed of pyralin, or similar transparent material, in a manner similar to that disclosed in the 1,575,219, for Sunshade. Visors formed of pyralin or similar transparent material have a tendency to curl or roll when not packed to cause the same to retain their shape. This tendency to roll is particularly noticeable when the visors are displayed'on counters or in windows and is particularly noticeable when the visors are displayed where the sun strikes them. I

In forming the visors or sunshades when the bill or visor section is formed and it is desired to secure the same to the sweat band, it is necessary, in accordance with the disclosure set forth in our prior patent, to hold the visor section in the proper curved relation relative to the sweat band while the visor portion is being cemented to the sweat band. In holding the visor portion in the proper curved relation to enable it to be secured to the sweat band, it is the practice to steam or heat the visor portion.

We have found that all of these difiiculties may be overcome, that is, the curling of the completed visor when displayed, and the necessary of heating and holding the visor in the proper curved relation in order to enable it to be secured to the sweat band, if the visor is formed during the cutting of the same with longitudinally extending ribs. l/Ve have found also that the visor will, when cut with the longitudinally extending ribs, of its own accord curl to the proper position in order to enable it to be secured tothe sweat band and that the entire visor when,

vention, it is believed, will be apparent from the following detailed description of a pre fered embodiment the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a visor embodying this invention and illustrating the same as adapted to the head of'an individual. Y

Figure 2 isa side elevation thereof. Figure 3 is a sectional edge View taken substantially on the line 33 of Figrue 5.

Figure 4 is an exploded sectional edge view.

Figure 5 is a rear elevation with the head straps broken away.

In the preferred embodiment of this invention, illustrated. in the accompanying drawings, 1 indicates a visor or bill cut in the proper shape and formed during the cutting w th a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs 2 which vary in length from thereof, as illustrated in v the. mid-section of the bill I to the edge thereof- In order to ornament the visor, the edge of the same is formed with the hemispheri- V I cal projections or circular raised portions 3. A sweat band 4 is secured to the upper edge 50f the visor at the curved projecting edge 7 6 of the sweat band 4 by cementing the engaging edges 5 and .6 together by means of 'a suitable solvent, such as acetone, alcohol 90.

or the like. 7 r

A' pair of head straps 7 7 are pivotally secured to the ends of the sweat band 4: by means of eyelets 8. The head straps 7 are adjustably secured together at their opposite ends by means of a buckle 9.

A crown member 10, preferably formed of pyralin or like material is secured to the sweat band 4: and a sweat rim 11 formed of leather or like material is secured to the ag a visor the-combination of an outer -ibandaadaptedto partially-encircle the head i got the wearer, a bill attached to the lower 7 edgefof: said band, crown straps, a crown" Amea-ns, said sweat rimhaving an up-turned edge held between said crown member and fifimcsi'gned at Los Angeles, California, this.

crown member 10, as illustrated at 12. The

' crown member and sweat rim 11 are then secured to the sweat band 4 by means of eyelets 13 which are passed through the crown member 10 and sweat band 1 at spaced points. Crown straps 14 are secured to thesweat bandl at the eyelets 13 and at their opposite endsare secured to the head straps 7 7 by meansof eyelets l5. The crown straps 14 are adjustably secured together by means of The formationof the visor or bill lwith the-longitudinally extending ribs 2 is'performed by means of a die which-is also used 7 15 for the cutting-of the pyralin or like material ,t-@'orm the bill 1." As the hill 1 isformed' in the die and the die is releasedifrom the cutting position, the bill 1 assumes the proper alcurved positionto enable it to be secured to aexposed to the sun when'displayed.
