Abstract:
1. An attachment for an extending brim of a cap or visor, the brim having a peripheral edge along the sides of the cap or visor and the brim has a thickness, the attachment comprising: an elongated piece of material having a length and a side and a general “U” shaped cross section created by a slit through the side and along the length of the elongated piece of material, the slit having two opposite edges, the two opposite edges of the slit and the portion of the elongated piece of material adjacent thereto each being flared outward and away from each other and the two opposite edges of the slit are spaced apart a first distance that is greater than the thickness of the brim of the cap or visor to permit the brim to easily enter into the slit, wherein the portion of the elongated piece of material nearest to each of the two opposite flared edges of the slit are spaced from each other a second distance that is narrower than the thickness of the brim of the cap or visor, and when the attachment is mounted on the peripheral edge of the extending brim of the cap or visor the brim causes the sides of the elongated piece of material adjacent to the flared edges of the slit move outward away from each other, the spreading creating a spring force that retains the attachment on the brim, wherein the attachment has two ends and has an extension extending over the top of the brim away from its peripheral edge that is equally spaced between the two ends and on which is imprinted words, numbers, or graphics, wherein the edge attachment has a second length such that the two ends are spaced a distance greater than the first length of the peripheral edge of the brim on the cap or visor, and the attachment further comprising: a plurality of spaced marks on each of the two ends of the attachment, the spaced marks are necessary for the purpose of being an aid in trimming equal amounts from each of the two ends of the attachment when fitting the attachment to the brim of a cap or visor so that the extension is centered on the brim of the cap or visor, and the length of the attachment after trimming is the same as the first length of the cap or visor.
