Facemask affixed to a baseball cap

Abstract

A decorative facemask is disclosed to decorate the face of a wearer of a ball cap including a bill. The facemask includes a one piece plastic decorative facemask including a slot formed along a top edge of the facemask configured to receive the bill of the cap, wherein the slot is an only attachment feature holding the facemask in place. According to one embodiment, the facemask includes a plurality of plastic wires, wherein the slot is defined by two wires along a top of the facemask. A topmost of the wires can deform upward to create a frictional force between the facemask and the bill of the cap.

1 . Apparatus to decorate the face of a wearer of a ball cap comprising a bill, the apparatus comprising:
 a one piece plastic decorative facemask comprising a slot formed along a top edge of the facemask configured to receive the bill of the cap, wherein the slot is an only attachment feature holding the facemask in place.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the slot comprises two slot end geometries configured to narrow the slot at each end of the slot. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the facemask further comprises a grid pattern constructed of entirely plastic wires;
 wherein the slot is defined by two of the plastic wires located along an upper edge of the facemask.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the two wires comprise an upper wire configured to bend when the bill is inserted within the slot. 
     
     
         5 . Apparatus to decorate the face of a wearer of a ball cap comprising a bill, the apparatus comprising:
 a one piece decorative facemask comprising:
 a grid pattern constructed of entirely plastic wires; 
 a slot between two of the plastic wires formed along a top edge of the facemask configured to receive the bill of the cap, wherein the slot is an only attachment feature holding the facemask in place. 
   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , a top wire configured displace upwards when the bill is inserted within the slot and apply force to the bill, wherein the applied force creates a frictional force between the bill and the facemask. 
     
     
         7 . Apparatus to decorate the face of a wearer of a ball cap comprising a bill, the apparatus comprising:
 a one piece entirely plastic decorative facemask comprising a slot formed along a top edge of the facemask configured to receive the bill of the cap, wherein the slot is an only attachment feature holding the facemask to the bill of the cap.
