Cap assembly with eyeglasses

Abstract

A cap assembly includes an eyeglasses unit connected pivotally to an eyeglass-mounting unit that includes first and second magnet units mounted on a mounting frame that is mounted on a bottom side surface of a visor. A third magnet unit is mounted on one of a lens member, and a pivot member attached to the lens member and connected pivotally to opposite coupling end portions of the mounting frame. The eyeglasses unit is operable to pivot relative to the eyeglass-mounting unit between a use position, where the eyeglasses unit is disposed adjacent to a user's face and where the second and third magnet units attract and contact each other, and a non-use position, where the eyeglasses unit is disposed adjacent to the bottom side surface of the visor and where the first and third magnet units attract and contact each other.

       5 . The cap assembly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein: 
 said first magnet unit includes two first magnets mounted respectively on said coupling end portions of said mounting frame of said eyeglass-mounting unit;    said second magnet unit includes two second magnets mounted respectively on said coupling end portions of said mounting frame of said eyeglass-mounting unit and spaced apart from said first magnets of said first magnet unit; and    said third magnet unit includes two third magnets that are mounted respectively on said opposite sides of said lens member, that attract and contact respectively said second magnets of said second magnet unit when said eyeglasses unit is in the use position, and that attract and contact respectively said first magnets of said first magnet unit when said eyeglasses unit is in the non-use position.    
   
   
       6 . The cap assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said lens member of said eyeglasses unit includes a unitary lens piece.  
   
   
       7 . The cap assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said lens member of said eyeglasses unit includes a pair of lens pieces, a bridge portion interconnecting said lens pieces, and opposite coupling portions connected respectively to outer sides of said lens pieces.  
   
   
       8 . The cap assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein: 
 each of said coupling end portions of said mounting frame is formed with a pivot hole;    said lens member of said eyeglasses unit includes a unitary lens piece; and    said pivot member of said eyeglasses unit includes 
 a coupling plate connected fixedly to said unitary lens piece and having opposite sides, and  
 two pivot rods, each of which is connected to a corresponding one of said sides of said coupling plate and has a pivot end portion extending into and engaging pivotally said pivot hole in a corresponding one of said coupling end portions of said mounting frame.  
   
   
   
       9 . The cap assembly as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein: 
 said first magnet unit includes two first magnets mounted respectively on said coupling end portions of said mounting frame of said eyeglass-mounting unit;    said second magnet unit includes two second magnets mounted respectively on said coupling end portions of said mounting frame of said eyeglass-mounting unit and spaced apart from said first magnets of said first magnet unit; and    said third magnet unit includes two third magnets that are mounted respectively on said opposite sides of said coupling plate of said pivot member, that attract and contact respectively said second magnets of said second magnet unit when said eyeglasses unit is in the use position, and that attract and contact respectively said first magnets of said first magnet unit when said eyeglasses unit is in the non-use position.    
   
   
       10 . The cap assembly as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein: 
 said mounting frame of said eyeglass-mounting unit further has an intermediate portion interconnecting said coupling end portions;    said first magnet unit includes a first magnet mounted on said intermediate portion of said mounting frame;    said second magnet unit includes a second magnet mounted on said intermediate portion of said mounting frame and spaced apart from said first magnet of said first magnet unit; and    said third magnet unit includes a third magnet that is mounted on said coupling plate of said pivot member of said eyeglasses unit, that attracts and contacts said second magnet of said second magnet unit when said eyeglasses unit is in the use position, and that attracts and contacts said first magnet of said first magnet unit when said eyeglasses unit is in the non-use position.
