BEST MODE

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] As illustrated in FIG. 2, a cap having a foldable visor according to the present invention includes a cap body C surrounding the head and a visor 10. Here, the visor 10 includes a fixed visor 20, which extends from the cap body C, and a rotary visor 30 which includes a rotation end 31 coupled with one side of the fixed visor 20 by a pin P and thus rotating up and down.

[0028] In addition, an outer surface of the visor 10 is covered with a cloth 11, whereby a separated appearance of the fixed visor 20 and the rotary visor 30 is not exposed to the outside.

[0029] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the pin P functions as a general a hinge and is provided in connection with the rotary visor 30 and the fixed visor 20. Preferably, a side part of the pin P is curved to have the same radius as an end part of the rotary visor 30.

[0030] In addition, the fixed visor 20 includes a fixed end that is inserted into the rotation end 31 and is rotatably coupled with the rotation end 31 by the pin P. The fixed end 21 includes a plurality of irregular sills 21a configured to be controlled in multiple steps in connection with stumbling sills 31a included in the rotation end 31.

[0031] That is, when the rotary visor 30 is rotated, end parts of the irregular sills 21a and the stumbling sills 31a contact each other, thereby rotating while clicking.

[0032] In addition, a gap 25 is provided between the fixed visor 20 and the rotary visor 30 to facilitate upward and downward rotation of the rotary visor 30, thereby preventing the curved end parts of the fixed visor 20 and rotary visor 30 from colliding with each other and interfering with each other.

[0033] Here, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the gap 25 is provided in a curved shape between the fixed visor 20 and the rotary visor 30. Preferably, the gap 25 may have a linear shape.

[0034] In addition, the stumbling sills 31a is made of a “-”-shaped elastic member 32, and the rotation end 31 includes stumbling sill grooves 31b into which the elastic member 32 is inserted and on which the elastic member 32 seated. That is, the elastic member 32 is seated on the stumbling sill grooves 31b and functions as a supporter.

[0035] The rotation end 31 includes a flow gap 23 allowing movement side by side when being coupled with the fixed end 21. Preferably, the flow gap 23 is provided at the fixed end 21, by which both sides of the fixed visor 20 and rotary visor 30 are coupled.

[0036] Hereinafter, the functions of the cap with a foldable visor according to the present invention having the aforementioned configurations are described.

[0037] As illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 5, the cap having a foldable visor of the present invention includes the cap body C surrounding the head and the visor 10. Here, the visor 10 includes the fixed visor 20, which extends from the cap body C, and the rotary visor 30 which includes the rotation end 31 coupled with one side of the fixed visor 20 by the pin P and thus rotating up and down. That is, the angle of the visor 10 is controlled by rotating the rotary visor 30 up and down.

[0038] Meanwhile, an outer surface of the visor 10 is covered with a cloth 11, whereby a separated appearance of the fixed visor 20 and the rotary visor 30 is not exposed to the outside and thus improved appearance is provided.

[0039] In addition, the fixed end 21 of the fixed visor 20 is coupled with the rotation end 31 of the rotary visor 30 by the pin P such that the fixed end 21 is inserted into and rotated with the rotation end 31. Here, the rotation end 31 includes the stumbling sills 31a interlocking the irregular sills 21a provided at the fixed end 21 to rotate or be fixed at a determined angle.

[0040] That is, the irregular sills 21a are supported by and fixed to spaces between the stumbling sills 31a, and rotated by an external force exceeding a supporting force by the stumbling sills 31a.

[0041] In addition, when the stumbling sills 31a are provided with the “”-shaped elastic member 32, the supporting force applied to the irregular sills 21a becomes more uniform. This may occur because the elastic force of the elastic member 32 is constantly applied. In addition, when the elastic member 32 is provided in a protrusion shape, the rotary visor 30 is rotated or supported by the physical properties of the rotation end 31 and the fixed end 21.

[0042] Here, the stumbling sills 31a, which are engaged with the irregular sills 21a, contact and rotate, while clicking, with the irregular sills 21a in a multiple step manner, when the rotary visor 30 is rotated.

[0043] Meanwhile, the gap 25 is provided between the fixed visor 20 and the rotary visor 30 to facilitate upward and downward rotation of the rotary visor 30.

[0044] In addition, when the curvature of the gap 25, i.e., the curvature of a gap between contact parts of the fixed visor 20 and the rotary visor 30, increases, upward and downward rotation of the rotary visor 30 is facilitated.

[0045] In addition, since the flow gap 23 allowing movement side by side is provided between the fixed end 21 of the fixed visor 20 and the rotation end 31 of the rotary visor 30, upward and downward rotation of the rotary visor 30 is further facilitated.

[0046] Meanwhile, the rotation end 31 includes the stumbling sill grooves 31b, into which the elastic member 32 is inserted and on which the elastic member 32 seated, as illustrated in FIG. 5(b).

[0047] While this invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. The preferred embodiments should be considered in descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined not by the detailed description of the invention but by the appended claims, and all differences within the scope will be construed as being included in the present invention.
