Abstract
The present invention relates to a convertible visor/cap, which can be converted from a cap to a visor, and vice verse, having a fixed frontal crown portion and a folding crown membrane supported by a plurality of hinged support members. The visor/cap preferably has a forwardly extending bill, from which the frontal crown portion extends upward, and a head band portion extending rearwardly therefrom. Two hinges are preferably provided on the sides of the head band portion adjacent the frontal crown portion for pivotally supporting the support members. The hinges allow the support members to be pivoted between a first extended position, in which the membrane covers the head (i.e., to form a cap), and a second folded position, in which the membrane is folded up behind the frontal crown portion and substantially hidden from view (i.e., to form a visor).
