Abstract

A novelty cap is provided having a strip of fabric with an accordion folding defined by a plurality of pleated fin-like members. The strip can be made to close or open to a fanlike structure while mounted on top of the head of a wearer. The rearmost fin is weighted, i.e., comprises a metal bar which serves to keep the fan-like structure in fully opened position.
