BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0005] FIG. 1 contains side, top and angled views of hat clip of the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0006] The detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein. It should be understood, however, that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, the details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as the basis for the claims and as a basis for teaching one skilled in the art how to make and/or use the invention.

[0007] As can be seen in FIG. 1, the clip of the present invention [1] is made, generally, in the shape of a “U”, having a flat inside surface [3] and curved outside surface [2] with a plurality of tangs [4] which when compressed, secure the clip to a person's belt, pants or other clothing article being worn, into which the bill of the hat is placed. The distance between each of the tangs [4] is just sufficient to allow placement of the hat bill as well as the clothing article being worn. The act of placing the bill between the 2 tangs [4] causes the tangs to exert pressure upon the bill thus holding the bill in place. The same pressure is exerted by the tangs fit over the clothing article. While 4 tangs [4] are shown in FIG. 1, this is just a minimum and more than 4 tangs can be used. The hat clip of the present invention [1] can be made of any material pliable enough to allow compression of tangs but rigid enough to support placement on a person's clothing article. Material such as plastic can be used.

[0008] While the preferred embodiments have been shown and described, it will be understood that there is no intent to limit the invention by such disclosure, but rather, is intended to cover all modifications and alternate constructions falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
