Abstract
Three preferred embodiments of a baseball cap holder are disclosed. Each embodiment includes a chamfered button ring for retaining a cap by the button typically found at the top of the crown of the cap. All three embodiments in a preferred method of manufacturing are die cut and crease scored from a single sheet of material, such as polypropene plastic. The first embodiment mounts and displays a single baseball cap and comprises a vertical base mounted on a wall, a horizontal cap shape holder and a parallel and spaced chamfered button ring for slidably receiving the cap button. The second embodiment is a cap holder strip, which utilizes a plurality of similar button rings aligned along an elongated axis. The third embodiment comprises a circular pattern having a base for vertical mounting on a wall or the like, a horizontal cap supporting member and above and parallel to the cap supporting member, a button ring. The cap supporting member and the button member are forced toward each other by the memory of the plastic, thereby gripping the cap. The base displays an imprint area for advertising even while in use.
