DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(15) Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the Adjustable Headwear Visor is comprised of a main body that forms a pocket 1 and 2. An adjustable visor 3 fits within the pocket and is kept in place by a tab 6, which is molded as part of the adjustable visor 3.
(16) When the three parts 1,2 and 3 are sandwiched together, the main body 1 and 2 are snapped together unifying all three parts.
(17) The tab 6 is used for extending and retracting the adjustable visor 3, via the slot 4. The thickened edges of the slot 5 help keep the tab 6 aligned, therefore keeping the adjustable visor 3 aligned for ease of extending or retracting it from the main body comprised of 1 and 2.
(18) When worn, a person's fingertip is used to extend and retract the visor by using the tab 6, which is centrally and visibly located underneath the visor assembly.
(19) Referring to FIG. 10, the adjustable visor 3 is fully extended when the tab 6 touches the front of the slot 4. This stops the adjustable visor from falling out of the main body. The adjustable visor is fully retracted when the tab 6 touches the back of the slot 4.
(20) Referring to FIG. 12, the Adjustable Headwear Visor assembly is preformed with a curvature, so that it can be installed within a manufacturer's baseball hat or golf visor.
