Abstract:
1. In combination: a) a headwear piece comprising a crown with a circumference and a bill projecting away from the crown and extending less than fully around the circumference of the crown, the bill having a front and rear, a top surface with an area, and a bottom surface, the bill further having a peripheral edge including a front edge portion that blends into spaced first and second side edge portions; and b) an attachment on the bill, the attachment engaging the bill at the front edge portion so as to consistently maintain the attachment in an operative position on the bill in a predetermined position in a direction between the front and rear of the bill and exerting a biasing force on the bill tending to impart a curved shape to the bill, the attachment constructed so that the attachment in the operative position does not: i) cover the headwear piece in a manner that would preclude viewing thereof for display; or ii) cover the entirety of the peripheral edge of the bill; wherein the bill is symmetrical about a center line, with the center line residing between first and second side portions of the bill, and the attachment engages the bill at first and second locations, one each on the first and second side portions of the bill.
