Adjustable Hat with Removable Adjustment Straps

Abstract

An adjustable hat has a first attachment member and a strap connection member that cooperate to allow a strap to be easily connected and removed from the adjustable hat. The two elements may also be reversed with regard to construction and attachment to parts of the hat. The two members can be disengaged from one another without having to access them in the space formed by the hat and the band.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An adjustable hat comprising:
 a main hat portion and a bill, the main hat portion having an inside surface, an outside surface, and an arcuate opening in the main hat portion;   a band disposed around a bottom portion of the main hat portion and forming a space between the main hat portion and the band, the band and the main hat portion interrupted by the arcuate opening, the arcuate opening creating a first end and a second end of the band;   a first attachment member attached at a first end thereof to the adjustable hat adjacent the first end of the band in the space between the main hat portion and the band, a second end of the first attachment member being a first connection member; and   a strap removably attachable to the first attachment member, the strap having a strap connection member attached at a first end to engage the first connection member of the first attachment member, the first connection member and the strap connection member moving relative to one another and moving one inside at least a portion of the other along the axis to removably secure the strap to the first attachment member.   
     
     
         2 . An adjustable hat comprising:
 a main hat portion and a bill, the main hat portion having an inside surface, an outside surface, and an arcuate opening in the main hat portion;   a band disposed around a bottom portion of the main hat portion and forming a space between the main hat portion and the band, the band and the main hat portion interrupted by the arcuate opening, the arcuate opening creating a first end and a second end of the band;   a first connection member attached to the adjustable hat adjacent the first end of the band in the space between the main hat portion and the band; and   a strap removably attachable to the first connection member, the strap having a strap connection member attached at a first end to engage the first connection member.
