Vehicular dashboard mounted hat hanging fixture

Abstract

A vehicular dashboard mounted hat hanging fixture is disclosed where the improved hat hanging fixture has the means of securing a hat on a vehicular dashboard through a receiving portion in a way that minimally limits the driver's visibility and provides easy access to the hat while preserving hat shape. In one embodiment, a hat is secured on a vehicular dashboard through a receiving portion comprised of a single piece mounting device. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a means of preserving hat shape through two vertical portions that are angled in a way that supports the hat from the inside.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for securing a hat comprising:
 a single-length body
 having a horizontal portion and two vertical portions 
   where said vertical portions curve to extend from said horizontal portion in an upward direction.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said vertical portions extend from the polar ends of said horizontal portion. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said vertical portions are positioned at approximately a 45-degree angle as measured from the horizontal axis. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the position of said vertical portions provides internal support for a hat to maintain its shape. 
     
     
         5 . The device as in  claim 1  wherein said single-length body is composed of a rigid material. 
     
     
         6 . The device as in  claim 5  wherein said rigid material comprises a polymer, metal, wood, or composites. 
     
     
         7 . The device as in  claim 1  wherein said horizontal portion is mounted to the vehicular dash through attachment means. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7  wherein said attachment means comprise adhesive, hook and loop, fasteners, screws and bolts. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 7  wherein said single-length body is larger than said attachment means.
