Those crazy people probably used just about everything. Wood, straw, wire, bone and starch.Lots of starch! If you are doing something that needs the starch effect you can NOT get it with the spray stuff. Some of the stores that cater to an older generation might have the boxes of laundry starch that you have to boil. If you can't find that, you could try to boil down cooking starch, but I have never done this and have no idea how well it works. Problem with this is of course 1. bugs love the stuff and may eat or make a home in you hat. 2. If it gets wet, or you sweat a lot on your head it will probably not hold up.get soggy and stuff. Not very pretty! Another option is to use the fabric stiffeners available in fabric and craft stores. I believe Aileen's in the pink bottle I have used with some success. It is a plastic base solution, like Elmer's glue, which should be a little more resistant to moisture and not attractive to bugs. For both of these you have to sort of mold it as it dries so it maintains the shape. These are not really water proof and will get soggy if exposed to very damp conditions. All this is really more of a light weight stiffening, for veils and headdresses. For the really heavier and stiffer head gear, you probably need a layer of buckram in your construction. There are different weights of this. This is a fabric completely saturated with glues to stiffen it. It is pretty plain and ugly to look at, but you cover it with whatever is your fancy fabric. If you were making say a Gabled headdress, you would make the foundation out of buckram, cover the outside with velvet/satin/.whatever and line the inside with satin/taffeta.what ever. When you sew the jewels and decorations on you really only sew through the outer layer (the buckram is a bitch to stitch). The best resource I can think of off the top of my head is a book entitled "From the Neck Up", although I think a lot of what it has in it is Victorian. It deals with hat construction basics and takes you step by step. As far as supplies, you can get some pretty stiff heavy interfacing at some fabric stores, but I don't remember seeing any around here. I often just order my buckam from Greenberg and Hammer in New York. I think it runs around $4-5/yd and they have all sorts of other niffty sewing supplies. I don't know if "curtain" buckram would be strong enough, but I guess that sort of depends on your hat! You will also find preshaped buckram hat frames, but they are mostly in bridal shapes. More applicable to Italian Ren. Anyway..there are the pickings of my mind, for what it is worth!

How to Make a Birthday Hat With Construction Paper Hi, this is Ginny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village and we're going to make party hats. This very fun party hat is made out of only three pieces of construction paper. This is the smaller paper. The first thing you want to do is take the smaller paper and just wrap it around your head until it fits and tape or staple it. Nothing to it really. Once you have your hat secured, you might want to take a special pair of scissors with the fancy edges and cut around the edge so that you have an edge that looks like this. And you know if you don't have the fancy scissors to do this kind of an edge you can always just tear the paper and that too will give you a fancy edge. Now one thing that you can do too before you even cut out your hat, before you staple it, is to leave it open and decorate it. You might want to write Happy Birthday in crayon or use markers or even use glitter and glue. Once you’ve done that, you put your hat together and then you want to make this. This is the fun stuff and it's so easy to make. Cut out a variety of sizes and colors of circles and then just start cutting out your circle. You want to stay fairly close to the edge, but it does not have to be even. That's the beauty of it. And you just keep cutting until you've keep spiraling around and you have it looking like this. Then you take the center and stretch it. As you can see I used several pieces of yellow and several pieces of purple. I started out with a large circle with the purple and this was a small circle with the yellow. Put them all together, staple them at the top, shook them out and here we go. A really fun, crazy Happy Birthday hat. It would work for New Year's too.

Hard Hats, Safety Hard Hats, Construction Hard Hats from Sentry Safety Supply. We carry the best brands of hard hats like. msa hard hats, fibre metal hard hats, paulson hard hats and more. Sentry Safety Supply hard hats, safety hard hats, construction hard hats and head protection products keep workers safe by providing the following features. A hard hat is a rigid safety helmet shell that resists and deflects blows to the head. A hard hat also includes a hard safety suspension system inside the hard hat that acts as a shock absorber. Some hard hats and safety helmets and construction hard hats serve as an insulator against electrical shocks. Hard Hats shield workers scalp, face, neck and shoulders against splashes, spills and drips. Some hard hats can be modified so you can add helmet face shields, goggles, construction hoods or additional hearing protection levels to them.

Sentry Safety Supply believes prevention of head injuries by wearing hard hats is an important factor in every workplace safety program. A single head injury can handicap an employee for life, or be fatal. A recent survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of Accidents and Injuries noted that most workers who suffer impact injuries to the head were not wearing head protection products such as hard hats, safety helmets, or construction hard hats. The majority of injured workers suffered their head injury while performing their normal jobs at their regular worksites. The survey also showed that in most workplace accident instances where head injuries occur employers had not required their employees to wear head protection or hard hats. Of those workers wearing hard hats all but five percent indicated that they were required by their employers to wear some sort of safety helmet or construction hard hats product. It was also found that the vast majority of those workers who wore hard hats for a majority of their work hours believed that hard hats were practical for their jobs, especially construction workers. According to the report, in almost half of the work accidents involving head injuries, employees knew of no actions taken by employers to prevent such head injuries from recurring. Elimination or control of a safety hazards leading to an accident should, of course, be given first consideration but many accident-causing head injuries incurred by working not wearing hard hats are of a type difficult to anticipate and control. Where these uncertain conditions exist, head protection and hard hats must be worn to prevent and eliminate injury! Hard Hats, Safety Hard Hats, and Construction Hard Hats on sale at Sentry Safety Supply.

1. Field of the Invention This invention generally relates to headcovers with a horizontally extending brim or visor, such as hats and caps, and, more specifically, to hats and caps having a brim or visor that may be moved or rotated to various positions around the circumference of the crown of the headwear, and which have a simplified and stable construction. 2. Description of the Prior Art U. S. Pat. No. 5,471,684 issued to Casale on Dec. 5, 1995 for a Convertible Sports Cap with Sliding Brim. The Casale Patent provides a sports hat construction with a head covering portion and a brim portion. An elongate band or strip is selectively attached to the lower periphery of the head covering, and the brim includes a mating connector that is adapted to engage the elongate band, so that the brim can be moved along the longitudinal length of the periphery of the cap. Also, the head covering portion may be removed from the elongate band so that the brim and elongate band may be worn as a sun visor without the head covering portion. The Casale Patent does not disclose or suggest the use of a headband disposed between the head covering portion or crown and the head of the wearer. The use of such a headband has several advantages, as discussed below. Moreover, while the Casale Patent describes that the elongate band is formed into a closed loop, the Casale Patent does not disclose an elongate band adapted to allow a full 360° rotation of the brim. In fact, the Casale Patent describes that the fastener between the two ends of the elongate band includes a generally flat thin stop, which clearly does not allow for a full 360° rotation of the brim. U. S. Pat. No. 5,533,211 issued to Mehrens on Jul. 9, 1996 for a Slidably Repositionable Hat. The Mehrens Patent provides a hat having an attached accessory such as a visor and incorporating a headband formed integrally with a sliding member positioned adjacent the opening in the crown. In a first embodiment, a track is secured internally to the crown and slidingly engages the sliding member to permit the crown and attached visor to be rotated relative to the wearer's head without removing the hat. In a second embodiment, the sliding member is secured externally of the crown and slidably supports a track that is attached to the visor. Unlike the present invention, the Mehrens Patent provides in its first embodiment that the entire hat rotates (i. e., both crown and brim), which is undesirable, for example, when the wearer desires to have a logo always at the front of the crown portion, or to face in a direction of the wearer's choice, independent of the wearer's choice of brim position. In its second embodiment, unlike the present invention the sliding assembly is external of the crown portion, which is very disadvantageous, especially in terms of aesthetics. Moreover, the horizontal orientation of the sliding member and track in the Mehrens Patent makes the hat bulky and creates a relatively large gap between the crown and the wearer's head. U. S. Pat. No. 5,715,534 issued to Mobley on Feb. 10, 1998 for Hats and Caps with Moveable Bills or Brims. The Mobley Patent provides headwear comprising (i) a crown having a substantially circumferential body to fit on a wearer's head and having an inner surface, (ii) a headband with an outer surface and attached to the inner surface of the crown body along the circumference of the crown body and forming a free flap on the crown body, (iii) at least one bill or brim extending substantially laterally away from the crown body and a wearer's head, and (iv) at least one slide means for connection of the bill or brim to the crown body and for rotation of the bill or brim relative to the crown body. The slide means comprises a first channel member attached to the periphery of the crown body and extending a substantial portion around the circumference of the crown body, and a second channel member attached to the bill or brim adjacent the crown body, the first and second members having interlocking means for slidable engagement of the second channel member relative to the first channel member. The first channel member is attached to the outer surface of the headband between the headband and the flap of the crown body, in which the flap covers the first channel member and the headband prevents the first channel member from touching a wearer's head. Alternatively, the first channel member is attached to the outer surface of the crown body. The Mobley Patent is distinguished from the present invention for several reasons. Significantly, the Mobley Patent does not disclose or suggest attaching a channel member to the inner surface of the crown body. Rather, the Mobley Patent provides that the channel member is attached either the outer surface of the headband or to the outer surface of the crown body. Attaching the channel member to the inner surface of the crown body has several advantages, as discussed below. In particular, by locating the channel member on the outer surface of the headband, a “loose flap” (column 3, line 30 of the Mobley Patent) is created around the periphery of the crown portion, which can be inadvertently and undesirably flipped up to reveal the channel member. Also, the Mobley Patent does not disclose or suggest that the channel member attached to the brim extends vertically away from the brim, or that the interlocking channel members are vertically oriented. U. S. Pat. No. 5,870,772 issued to Sprouse on Feb. 16, 1999 for a Flexible Tracking Assembly for a Sports Cap Having a Rotatable Visor or the Like. The tracking assembly, as described by the Sprouse Patent, may be a single semi-rigid elongated member, preferably I-shaped, or a three-piece assembly having two elongated plastic member attached together along one edge with a generally I-shaped track therebetween. However, unlike to present invention, the Sprouse Patent does not disclose a comfortable headband assembly disposed between the tracking assembly and the head of a wearer. Rather, the Sprouse Patent provides that the headband is held apart from the I-shaped member by a third elongated plastic member. Furthermore, the horizontal orientation of the I-shaped member C-shaped members of the Sprouse Patent makes the hat bulky and creates a relatively large gap between the crown and the wearer's head. U. S. Pat. No. 6,263,508 issued to Davis on Jul. 24, 2001 for a Means for Moveable Bills or Brims of Caps and Hats. This invention is described as an improvement over the inventor's previous patent, which is the Mobley Patent discussed above. The improvement lies in the addition of a “linking band” between the headband and the interior of the crown of the hat. Nonetheless, as with the Mobley Patent discussed above, the Davis Patent discloses that the sliding track is attached to the outer surface of the headband or the outer surface of the crown, which is unlike the present invention. In fact, the addition of a linking band would further accentuate the disadvantages of attaching the sliding track to the headband. In particular, the linking band would further weaken the “loose flap” (see column 3, line 27 of the Davis Patent) along the bottom periphery of the crown, thereby allowing the loose flap to be too easily flipped up to reveal the sliding track, which would adversely affect the aesthetics of the hat. Also, the Davis Patent does not disclose or suggest that the interlocking or sliding member on the brim extends vertically away from the brim, or that the sliding track and interlocking member are vertically oriented.

In light of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hat with a brim that is rotatable relative the crown portion thereof that has a simplified construction. It is another object of the present invention to provide a hat with a rotatable brim that has a stable construction that maintains the integrity of the hat when pulling forces are applied to the brim, such as when sliding it relative to the crown. It is still another object of the present invention to provide such a hat with a rotatable brim having a comfortable headband disposed between the rotating assembly and the wearer's head. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a hat with a brim, a crown, and a headband, wherein the brim is slidably attached to the crown portion along an elongated track or channel that is attached to the crown portion opposite and separate from the headband, which offers several advantages, such as enhancing the stiffness of the lower periphery of the crown portion and also enhancing the wearer's comfort. In order to achieve the above objects, as well as others that will become apparent to those skilled in the art, there is provided a hat or cap comprising a crown portion adapted to cover a portion of a wearer's head. The crown portion comprises a lower periphery, an outside and an inside. A horizontally oriented brim is provided, and a headband is disposed radially inwardly from the inside of the crown portion. A sliding assembly is disposed between the inside of the crown portion and the headband, with the sliding assembly comprising a first member secured to the inside of the crown portion, and a second member slidably attached to the first member and including an extension secured to the brim. In this manner a user may rotate the brim relative to the crown portion. In accordance with one preferred embodiment, the crown portion is formed of a sheet of material forming a visible or exposed main body portion and including an integral fold-under-flap or hem folded inwardly to form a finished edge along said lower periphery. Suitable attachment means securely attaches said fold-under-flap to said main body portion to form an upper edge. Said first member has a flat base that can either be secured over the fold-under-flap or can be positioned above on the upper edge of such flap, and connected directly to the main body portion of the crown. The fold-under-flap may be secured to the main body portion of the crown portion in any conventional manner, such as stitching or adhesive. When the crown portion is formed in a conventional way with a plurality of segments attached to each other along seam lines, the headband is preferably tacked generally in the regions of said seam lines. In another embodiment, the headband additionally circumscribes the lower periphery a distance less than 360° to create a gap in the headband with two end edges. An elastic band extends between the two end edges to maintain them at a predetermined distance from each other. Such elastic band is stretchable so that said two end edges can be separated from the relaxed contracted state of the elastic band to adjust the effective size of the lower periphery to accommodate the size of the head of the wearer.

FIG. 9 is similar to FIG. 8, but illustrating an alternate construction. FIG. 9A is similar to FIG. 9 but showing a tapered downwardly projecting extension. FIG. 9B is similar to FIG. 9 but showing the downwardly projecting extension provided with a rounded laterally outwardly projecting lip to cover the lower edge of the crown. FIG. 10 is similar to FIGS. 8 and 9 but showing a still further possible construction. and FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a cap in accordance with the present invention, illustrating still another embodiment of the invention, in which the periphery of the crown portion is adjustable to accommodate the size of the head of the wearer.

Referring to the figures and, in particular, FIG. 1, there is shown a hat according to the present invention, generally indicated as reference number 1, comprising a crown portion 20 and a brim 30 . Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, crown portion 20 may be constructed using any suitable materials and methods. For example, as shown, crown portion 20 is formed of a plurality of triangular segments, preferably six, that are sewn together to provide a domed shape adapted to cover the top of a wearer's head. The intersection of the stitching at the uppermost point of the crown portion is usually covered with a decorative button or knob, which may be sewn or stapled thereto. With such a configuration, a hat according to the present invention could be classified as a “baseball cap.” As used herein, the outside of crown portion 20 is the side visible to others when hat 1 is worn on a wearer's head, while the inside of crown portion 20 is the side facing the wearer's head when hat 1 is being worn. The opening of crown portion 20 is defined by a generally horizontal lower periphery 22 . Crown portion 20 has a vertical central axis c that extends through the topmost point (i. e., the decorative button) of crown portion 20 and perpendicularly to lower periphery 22 . Please note that the terms “horizontal” and “vertical,” as used herein, are relative terms connotating a perpendicular relationship, whereby the “horizontal” lower periphery may have any absolute orientation, and the “vertical” central axis will have the correspondingly perpendicular absolute orientation. Alternatively, as shown particularly in FIG. 6, a hat according to the present invention may comprise a crown portion 620 in a cylindrical shape or the shape of a band having a lower periphery 622 and an upper periphery 625, whereby the hat has an open top or upper opening and an open bottom or lower opening. With such a configuration, a hat according to the present invention could be classified as a “visor.” Brim 30 has a proximate portion 32 that, as shown, is either removably or substantially permanently secured to crown portion 20 . Brim 30 extends substantially horizontally away from crown portion 20, so as to provide shade for the wearer's eyes and face. The purpose for which hat 1 is to be used may dictate varying shapes, lengths and angles with respect to brim 30 . Brim 30 may be formed by any appropriate method using any suitable material or materials, for example a fabric material that is stitched to, or contains, a stiffening material, such as cardboard or plastic. Preferably, crown portion 20 has at least one decorative symbol, letter, badge, emblem, or combination of letters or words, such as, for example, a patch P embodying a logo of a sports team. Crown portion 20 may bear several or secondary decorative symbols, letters, badges, emblems, words, and combinations thereof. However, in general, one segment of crown portion 20 will have a primary symbol, letter, badge, emblem, word or combination thereof. The segment of crown portion 20 having this primary decoration is referred to herein as the front segment or section of the cap. The remaining segments or sections of crown portion 20 are referred to herein as side segments. Of course, the side segment of crown portion 20 that is diametrically opposite the front segment of the cap is referred to herein as the back of the cap. Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a close-up view of the means for rotating brim 30 relative to crown portion 20 . A sliding assembly, generally indicated as reference number 40, is disposed adjacent to the lower periphery 22 of crown portion 20 . A first member 42 of sliding assembly 40 is attached about at least a segment of an circumferential band 24 adjacent to lower periphery 22 . Optionally, first member 42 may be attached directly to crown portion 20 . A second member 44 is the other one of the at least two slidably engaging members of sliding assembly 40 . Second member 44 is attached along at least a segment of proximate portion 32 of brim 30 . First and second members 42, 44 are slidable relative to each other when engaged or interlocked. First member 42 is recessed from lower periphery 22 . Preferably, first member 42 is recessed from lower periphery 22 a distance equal to or greater than its height. The height of first member 42 is measured along a line substantially perpendicular to lower periphery 22 . For example, in one embodiment, first member 42 is about 0.5 cm in height and recessed from lower periphery 22 a distance of about 0.5 cm. In another exemplary embodiment, first member 42 is about 0.5 inch in height and recessed from lower periphery 22 a distance of about 0.5 inch. As shown in FIG. 2, in order to attach second member 44 to brim 30 and also slidably engage second member 44 with first member 42 at its recessed position, sliding assembly 40 preferably comprises an extension 46 between brim 30 and second member 44 . Extension 46 may be formed integrally with second member 44 and/or brim 30, from the same material (i. e., plastic and/or cloth). Sliding assembly 40 may have any number of slidably engaging members in any suitable combination. First member 42, as shown, is in the form of an elongate male track having a T-shaped cross-section. As shown, second member 44 is in the form of an elongate female channel having a C-shaped cross-section. Nonetheless, first and second members 42, 44 may have any suitable shape and may be engaged or interlocked in any suitable manner. For example, the slidably engaging members may be the opposite of that shown in FIG. 2, namely first member 42 attached to crown portion 20 may be in the form of a elongate female channel having a C-shaped cross-section, while second member 44 attached to brim 30 may be in the form of an elongate male track having a T-shaped cross-section. Preferably, sliding assembly 40 has a substantially vertical orientation. In particular, as shown, the opening in the C-shaped channel of member 44 faces up and the cross beam of the T-shaped track is proximate to lower periphery 22 . Substantially vertical orientation of sliding assembly 40 may be achieved by other suitable methods of engaging the sliding members. By orienting sliding assembly 40 in the vertical plane, it may be recessed from lower periphery 22 to hide the sliding assembly from view when hat 1 is worn. Moreover, the vertical orientation of sliding assembly 40 supports and strengthens the lower periphery 22 so that lower periphery does not undesirably flop up to reveal sliding assembly 40 . Sliding members 42, 44 can be made out of any suitable material, including a plastic material that has a very smooth surface. A close fit between members 42, 44 provides some contact and friction so that brim 30 will remain in the position the wearer chooses. However, members 42, 44 should slide easily relative to each other without binding. Sliding members 42, 44 may be any suitable thermoplastic material, such as nylon (a polyamide). When used to make sliding members 42, 44, nylon confers several advantages to hats constructed according to the present invention. In particular, nylon is more resistant to splitting and/or cracking when bent or twisted compared with many other thermoplastic materials. In other words, nylon is suitably malleable so that a hat having sliding members 42, 44 made of nylon may be folded for packing, shipping, and/or storage with little risk that sliding members 42, 44 will split and/or crack. nylon, while being malleable, may also be made sufficiently strong or dense to support the weight of brim 30 . Another advantage of nylon is that it is molded instead of being extruded. The molding process for nylon results in sliding member 42, 44 having very few, if any, surface imperfections, especially compared to extruded thermoplastic materials. The very smooth surface of molded sliding members 42, 44 results in reduced friction therebetween, and increased slidability or “slickness.” Yet another advantage of nylon is that it is softer compared with many other thermoplastic materials. Sliding members 42, 44 being made of softer nylon provides greater physical comfort to the wearer. In a first embodiment, as best shown in FIG. 3, sliding member 42 preferably has at least one break or gap adapted to allow slidable member 44 to releasably engage slidable member 42, such as, by feeding T-shaped sliding member 42 into the upwardly-facing C-shaped channel of sliding member 44 . If sliding member 42 is made of an appropriately flexible material, the ends of sliding member 42 may closely abut one another, such that brim 30 may be easily rotated fully 360°, while also allowing the ends of sliding member 42 to be separated, such that brim 30 may be removed from crown portion 20 . In addition, referring to FIG. 3, a supporting bridge 60, may be used to connect at least a portion of the two ends of sliding member 42 to each another, which facilitates free rotation of brim 30 . The support bridge would help to maintain the close abutting relationship of the ends of sliding member 42 despite the adverse effects of weather, perspiration, and use over time. Preferably, the supporting bridge would not interfere with the ability of the wearer to slightly separate the two ends to remove brim 30 from crown portion 20 . The supporting bridge may be of any appropriate shape and size and may be disposed at any suitable location in any suitable position. For example, the support bridge may be overlapping the ends of member 42 along their respective vertical bars of the T-shaped track. Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a crown portion 420 for a hat 401 according to the present invention comprising a continuous, unbroken elongated first member 442 (e. g., a T-shape track) extending completely around the inside of the crown portion 420 recessed from the lower periphery 422 thereof. In comparison to first member 42 described above, the advantage of continuous, unbroken first member 442 is that a second member attached to a brim (not shown) is effectively prevented from sliding off first member 442, and no bridge member is required. Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5C, there is shown a hat according to the present invention comprising an adjustable assembly, which is adapted to adjust or change the circumferential size of the crown portion 20 . Adjustable assembly may comprise, for example and without limitation, hook-and-loop closure assembly 70 A (i. e., Velcro® straps 72 and 73 ), a buckle-and-strap assembly 70 B (i. e., buckle 74 for securing a strap 75 ), or an interlocking assembly 70 C (e. g., a strap 76 with pegs adapted to interlock with holes in a strap 77 ). When hat 20 comprises an adjustable assembly 70, the first member 42 of sliding assembly 40 will not extend completely around the inside of crown portion 20 . Instead, first member 42 may extend substantially around the inside of crown portion 20 . More preferably, first member 42 may extend around inside of crown portion 20 so as to provide for brim 30 to rotate at least about 180°. First member 42 may be permanently or semi-permanently attached to circumferential band 24 and/or crown portion 20 . When first member 42 is removably attached to crown portion 20, such as with hook and loop fasteners, it becomes possible to remove the crown portion 20 so that sliding assembly 40 and brim 30 may be worn as a visor. A headband or sweatband 50 circumscribes the inside of crown portion 20 adjacent to lower periphery 22 . The headband is adapted to be worn against the wearer's head. The headband may be made from any suitable material or combination of materials that provide an acceptable amount of comfort for the wearer. For example, headband 50 may be an extruded plastic material that is covered in a fabric or a leather-like material for the wearer's comfort. Headband 50 is attached to circumferential band 24 adjacent to their respective upper circumferential edges at least by a seam line 28 using stitching, permanent adhesive, or the like, as is well known in the art. Seam line 28 is spaced above seam line 26 and first member 42 of sliding assembly 40 is attached to band 24 by seam line 27 therebetween. Preferably, headband 50 is not attached to first member 42 . Optionally, headband 50 may be attached at a seam line (not shown) to first member 42 . From outermost to innermost, the preferred arrangement of hat 1 comprises crown portion 20, circumferential or intermediate band 24, first and second members 42, 44, and headband 50 . Therefore, when hat 1 is being worn, headband 50 is in contact with the head of the wearer, while first and second members 42, 44 are sandwiched between headband 50 and circumferential intermediate band 24, and the only element one of these elements that is attached to crown portion is circumferential intermediate band 24 . This is a simple, functional, and attractive design. Attaching first member 42 of the sliding assembly 40 to the inside of the crown portion 20 or circumferential band 24 supports and strengthens lower periphery 22 so that it does not undesirably flip up to reveal sliding assembly 40 . Also, attaching first member 42 to the inside of the crown portion 20 or circumferential band 24 enhances wearer comfort by removing potentially uncomfortable seams from the headband 50 . Another advantage of using circumferential band 24 as described herein is that first member 42, circumferential band 24, and headband 50 can be sewed together prior to attaching circumferential band 24 to crown portion 20 . Thus, production of hat 1 can benefit from unit production of the various portions and elements. For example, first member 42, circumferential band 24, and headband 50 can be sewed together at a time and place remote from the construction of crown portion 20, and the separately created elements can then be later sewed together along the single seam 26 . This procedure is more efficient compared to a procedure requiring that first member 42 and headband 50 be individually sewed to the inside of crown portion 20 . Assembly of hat 1 may be accomplished using a method suitable method of construction or manufacture. As stated above, any materials may be used to make hat 1 . A representative method of construction may include the following steps. (i) forming crown portion 20 by sewing together six triangular segments of a fabric, such as a heavy-weight cotton canvas, and attaching a decorative button at its top. (ii) forming brim 30 by sewing a fabric covering around a cardboard structure. (iii) attaching to the brim in a vertical orientation the slidable member 44 such that the U-shaped or C-shaped channel thereof is upwardly facing. (iv) forming an assembly combining band 24, headband 50, and T-shaped slidable member 42, such that slidable member 42 is fixed to band 24 by a seam 27 and headband 50 is fixed to band 24 by a seam 28, and such that the horizontal cross beam of slidable member 42 is positioned proximate to lower periphery 22 to engage the U-shaped or C-shaped channel of slidable member 44. (v) fixing the assembly adjacent to lower periphery 22 of crown portion 20 by a seam 26 such that slidable member 42 has a break or gap adapted to allow slidable member 44 to engage slidable member 42. and (vi) sliding the U-shaped channel of slidable member 44 into the gap in slidable member 42 and over the horizontal beam of thereof to interlock the slidable members. In use, a wearer places hat 1 upon the wearer's head with the headband 50 in contact therewith. Brim 30 will normally extend forwardly of the wearer to provide shade to the wearer's eyes. When it is desired to reorient brim 30, such as when it becomes necessary to prevent the wind from lifting the hat from the head, or such as when it becomes necessary to rapidly look upwardly to follow a flying ball for example, brim 30 may rapidly be rotated with respect to crown portion 20 and the wearer's head without removing hat 1 . It may be noted that since the hat is not circular (when viewed from the top) the relative translation between the sliding member and the track requires a bending of the track generally in a horizontal plane or in a plane perpendicular to its linear motion. Thus, sufficient friction is assured to maintain the orientation of the visor in a given direction to thus prevent such movement of the visor unless it is deliberately reoriented by the wearer. Since the sliding assembly 40 is sandwiched between headband 50 and band 24 and/or the crown 20, there is a smooth continuous gliding motion, and the mechanism never touches the head of the wearer. In the embodiments described above, to the extent that they are made in accordance with FIG. 2 of this application, there results an inherent instability when pulling forces are applied to the brim 30 since such pulling forces are applied to the intermediate circumferential band 24, which, it will be appreciated, is only attached to the crown portion 20 only at the lower edge thereof. Thus, the circumferential band 24 can be pulled downwardly to pull out, in an extreme case, the entire sliding assembly, shown in FIG. 2, below the lower periphery 22 of the crown portion. This is undesirable and inconvenient and an annoyance to the user. In order to overcome this problem, a number of hat constructions are shown in FIGS. 7–11, in which the first member 32 may be attached directly to the more sturdy crown portion 20, as indicated above. Referring to FIG. 7, a hat 701 is illustrated that includes a crown portion 720, as in the previous embodiments. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the crown portion 720 includes an exterior main body portion 720 a provided with an interior fold-under-flap 721 that defines an upper edge 721 a and forms, at the lower end where the fabric or material is folded, a finished edge that defines the lower periphery. The crown 720 is connected to the proximate portion 732 of the brim 730 . The segments or individual panels S are joined to each other in a conventional manner at seams 723 . The sliding assembly 740, as suggested above, is formed of a first mating sliding member 742 and a second mating sliding member 744 . It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the specific nature of the sliding members is not critical, and any cooperating sliding members that can remain engaged with each while sliding relative to each other along the longitudinal or elongate lengths thereof may be used. In the construction shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first member 742 is a male member formed of a generally flat base 743 having upper and lower edges 743 a, 743 b, respectively, and a generally T-shaped portion 743 c that projects radially inwardly from the flat base as shown. In FIG. 8, the generally T-shaped portion 743 c projects generally from the center of the flat base 743, while, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9, the generally T-shaped portion 743 c projects radially inwardly generally from the upper edge of the flat base. The fold-under-flap 721, in the nature of a hem, is folded inwardly to form a finished edge along the lower periphery 722, as noted. Suitable attachment means is provided for securely attaching the fold-under-flap or hem 721 to the main body portion 720 a between the upper and lower edge 743 a, 743 b. In FIG. 8, the fold-under-flap 721 has a height greater than the height of the flat base 743 of the first member, and is secured between the main body portion 720 a of the crown and the first member. Suitable attachment means may be used for this purpose, such as stitching, adhesive, tacking, etc. In FIG. 9 a fold-under flap or hem 721 is not provided. Instead, the base 742 of the first member is somewhat larger and projects downwardly at 743 ′ to position the lower edges 722, 743 ′ of the crown and the base 743, respectively, so that they are aligned. The base 743 is integrally formed with the first base member T-shaped portion 743 C. The base may also be extended upwardly as suggested at 743 ″. The extended base facilitates assembly since the stitches, for example, can be applied to the relatively thin and soft base material that can be made of any suitable extrudable material such as plastic, or certain rubbers. In FIGS. 9A, 9 B, alternative embodiments are illustrated for the integrally molded base/extension. In FIG. 9A the extension 790 is downwardly tapered to have reduced thickness in the direction of the lower edge 722 of the crown. In FIG. 9B the extension 743 is provided at its lower edge 743 ′ with a lip 792 that projects radially outwardly below the edge 722 . The cross-section of the lip 792 is shown to be semi-circular, but clearly any cross-section can be used. The lip covers the lower edge 722 and, in that respect, provides a finished appearance. The lip can be made larger or smaller to make it more or less prominent, and it can be made of colors that are opaque, transparent or luminescent to coordinate with the colors of the crown, brim or the like, so that the overall hat or cap is more dressy or fashionable. In FIG. 10, an alternate embodiment is shown in which the fold-under-flap or hem 721 has a height less than the height of the flat base 743 of the first member and the base is secured directly to the main crown body portion 720 a at a point above the upper edge 721 a . Therefore, it will be clear that it is not critical whether one of the sliding members is attached directly to the crown main body portion or indirectly thereto over the fold-under-flap 721 . Referring particularly to FIGS. 8–10, it will be noted that headband 750 is generally coextensive with the lower periphery 722 . Suitable attaching means, such as continuous or intermittent stitching, may be provided, at 760, for attaching the headband to the crown body portion 720 a . However, such continuous stitching, when visible on the exterior surface of the crown main body portion 720 a, may detract from the aesthetic appearance of the hat. Accordingly, in accordance with the one feature of the invention, the headband 750 is selectively and intermittently attached or secured to the crown body portion to avoid a continuous visible line of stitching. Thus, in FIG. 7, points 760 are shown at which the headband is tacked to the crown body portion. The specific nature of the tacking is not critical, and any attachment means may be used, including selective and limited stitching at positions 760, adhesive (e. g., at 760 a ), tacks, staples or the like. According to another feature of the invention, the tacking points 760 are preferably located to coincide with the seams 723, between typical lines of stitching 723 a, 723 b . When placed on the seams, such tacking points are less perceptible or become totally unobtrusive. It will be appreciated, with the constructions shown in FIGS. 8–10, that the headband is attached directly to the main crown body portion. However, because little or no pulling forces are applied to the headband 750, the headband may also be fixed in place at intermittent points of attachment, as suggested, or a continuous strip of stitching or adhesive (e. g., at 760 b ). The sliding assembly, including first and second members 742, 744, are securely and fixedly attached to the main crown body portion by means of stitching 780 . Similarly, stitching 782 may be used to attach the second or female body member 744 to the extension 746 connected to the brim. It will also be evident that the extension 746 may likewise be attached to the second sliding member in any one of a number of different ways, including adhesive, stitching, staples, etc. Referring to FIG. 8, one specific example is illustrated in which the fold-under-flap or hem 721 is approximately 0.75 inches high and the first member 742 is approximately 0.50 inches high and attached to position the upper edge 743 a substantially coextensively with the upper edge of the first member, so that the first member is recessed above the lower periphery 722, a distance of approximately 0.25 inches. Thus, the central region of the first member is recessed approximately 0.5 inches above the lower periphery 722 . By providing such recess, the sliding assembly is more fully received within the space formed between the headband 750 and the crown body portion 720, avoiding excessive gaps or visible openings at the very bottom of the headband, as shown in FIGS. 8–10, to avoid exposure of the sliding elements. Referring to FIG. 11, an alternate embodiment is shown, in which the headband circumscribes the lower periphery 822 less than 360° to create a gap G in the headband with two end edges 852, 854, and an elastic band 856 extending between the two end edges to maintain them at a predetermined distance from each other. In this manner, the elastic band 856 is stretchable to separate the two end edges to adjust the effective size of the lower periphery 822 to accommodate the size of the head of the wearer. Preferably, the gap 851 is adjustable between approximately 1.5 inches, in the relaxed state of the elastic band, to approximately 2.5 inches, in the stretched state of the elastic band. It will be evident that the specific configuration of the sliding members is not critical. It is desirable, however, that the sliding members be somewhat recessed from the lower peripheries of the main crown body portions and that the sliding mechanism be connected to and mounted on the crown body portion, with or without the fold-under-flap or hem therebetween. The headband 750, in all embodiments, is not attached to any of the sliding mechanisms, but is instead directly secured to the crown main body portion so as to essentially hang down or be suspended from the connection points 760 to cover the sliding mechanism. A covered button 784 is typically attached to the top center of the crown body portion, where all the segments meet, to cover and conceal such connection point. While it is not critical, it has been found that at least one of the mating sliding members is advantageously molded from plastic or nylon, the tolerances and material being selected to enhance or promote sliding by reducing coefficients of friction while being sufficiently strong and inflexible so as not to separate when pulling forces are applied to the brim. The present invention having been thus described with particular reference to the preferred forms thereof, it will be obvious that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

So the girls have been having such a blast with their Ocean Box that I decided to expand our play repertoire with a new addition to the play room. We now have an Under Construction Box. Mini-Saurus is a die-hard Bob the Builder fan and the Frog Princess has always wanted to follow in her handy-daddys (work boot) footsteps. The girls had a blast in their hard hats today shoveling, loading, and unloading their mini gravel quarry. We had quite the menagerie of construction vehicles at our house and another empty under bed box in my storage area in the garage. The girls and I ventured over to the Dollar Tree this morning to spend $5 on five mini bags of rocks to fill the site. They have been playing with it non-stop all afternoon. The Frog Princesss kindergarten teacher was over here last night for a scrap-booking crop and loves my Ocean Box so much that we spent part of the evening brainstorming different centers for her classroom based on their thematic units of the year. I picked up some Pumpkin Patch materials (courtesy again of the fabulous Dollar Tree by our house) for their fall unit. The kids will have fun raking miniature leaves, stacking mini bales of hay, and learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin with their observation journals and some fake pumpkins, vines, flowers, pea gravel or bean soil, and some pumpkin seeds to plant. You should see the mini farm theyll be playing with later this spring! The winter box Im working on for the girls will be made in triplicate. one for our house and two more for the two kindergarten classrooms at her school. If you make one of these for your house or classroom, I would love to hear about it!

The hard hats were conceptualized about a hundred years back by Bullard who had a family owned manufacturing business of personal protective equipment. They now specialize in industrial head protection including Construction Hard Hats. In the early days, there was no protective gear for the head in the construction industry. Then with the passage of time and recognition of safety measures, a helmet similar to a baseball cap was designed. It had a small hard leather and shellac brim. It was mainly used by the miners. During the year 1915, Bullard started work on the hard hats, also known as helmets at that time. It was originally made out of steamed canvas, glue and black paint and was referred to as the 'hard boiled hat'. This proved as an inspiration for the making of the Construction hard hats. Bullard, in collaboration with the engineers of that time, set out to design a helmet that could protect the workers from impact of falling objects. Hence the mining helmet was transformed into a durable Construction Hard Hat. The first construction hard hat was made of aluminum, which was considered very durable and reasonably lightweight at that time. They were very effective in protecting from falling objects and bad weather but were very hazardous for electrical purposes. The reason being that aluminum is a great conductor of electricity. In the 1940's Bullard came out with the three rib, heat resistant fiberglass hard hat. The fiberglass was soon replaced by thermoplastic because of the material being less costly and better suited for heat resistance. In the 1980's Bullard once again introduced a revolutionary new hard hat. This time while designing and manufacturing the hard hat, the focus was on proper suspension for fieldwork purposes. This also helped in marking a new era in the standards and safety of head protection gear. The new design integrated a non-slip ratchet suspension helmet, with a knob at the back for simple sizing. This particular model, famously known as the 3000 R, is produced from polyethylene plastic. This makes it extremely light in weight, durable and easy to mold and non conductive to electricity. The plastic is also treated with an ultra violet inhibitor to protect it from outdoor environment. A lot of other accessories can also be added to the regular construction hard hats. Face shields, sun visors, attachments for lamps, ear/neck protectors, hearing protectors, perspiration absorbing cloths lining the hat, radios, pagers, walkie-talkies and camera are just a few of them. But the future of the hard hats may be ventilated. This will help in making the hot hard hats wearable for the workers in extreme climates as well as normal conditions.

CANAJOHARIE, NY An ambitious months long bridge construction project in the Montgomery County, NY, village of Canajoharie is winding down even as the bridge itself opened to full traffic nearly two months ahead of schedule. The state Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) on March 17 announced that the Route 10 bridge over the Erie Canal (Mohawk River) and CSX Railroad would be closed to all northbound traffic between the villages of Canajoharie and Palatine Bridge as the construction of the new span continued. The bridge was open to southbound traffic only to accommodate emergency vehicles moving in either directions, as well as vehicles associated with the bridge construction. Two-way traffic resumed in late September on the new state Route 10 bridge spanning the Mohawk River, beating an estimated opening date of Nov. 1, thus putting an end to what has been seen as a crippling situation to local businesses. The $14.4 million project contractor was Herkimer, NY-based Tioga Construction Co. The project included highway improvements in the north side of the span in Palatine Bridge and on the south side in Canajoharie. In April, work crews demolished the former Route 10 bridge, which had been a part of the area communities for around 60 years. Tioga Construction constructed the new two-lane concrete bridge one lane at a time, demolishing the old bridge once a single lane on the new span was ready to handle a southbound traffic flow. Contractors found the demolition of the old bridge more than a bit daunting. In anticipating that a few well-placed explosives would drop the span into the Mohawk River, when the shots were fired the bridge shook but didnt fall. The blast made the span unstable, and it was brought down by contractors repeatedly hitting the bridge with a ramhoe. According to the NYSDOT, construction began in April 2007 with one-half of the new bridge completed last year. The replacement bridge is wider than the existing with a turning lane and sidewalk and was designed as a signature bridge with architectural details and period lighting. NYSDOT has coordinated with the local municipalities through all stages of the project to ensure community input. The new bridge is scheduled for completion in December. Final construction will include decorative pillars and railings, stone liners mimicking historic structures in the neighboring villages, ornamental lighting and sidewalk lookout spaces overlooking the Erie Canal.

The rain hat of claim 1, wherein said elastic plate is a plate spring. 3. In a rain hat which is mounted on an exhaust tube of heavy construction equipment, a rain hat for heavy construction equipment, comprising.a plate which corresponds to a shape of an outlet of the exhaust tube.a connection part which is formed at one end of the plate and is extended in a downward direction.a pair of coil springs of which ends are connected with both lower sides of the connection part. anda bracket which is mounted on the exhaust tube in which the other end of each coil spring is horizontally connected, whereby the outlet of the exhaust tube, which is closed by means of the plate, opens as a discharge pressure overcomes an elastic force of the coil spring when exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust tube.

[0002]1. Field of the Invention [0003]The present invention relates to a rain hat attached to an exhaust tube of an engine. [0004]2. Description of the Background Art [0005]Heavy construction equipment is equipped with an exhaust tube which exhausts gas. Exhaust gas is exhausted via an exhaust tube. Here, the exhaust tube is engaged at an upper swing structure of the equipment. Since an upper swing structure of heavy construction equipment swings in the course of work, the exhaust tube is generally engaged at an upper swing structure so that any interference does not occur with wheels, etc. [0006]Since the exhaust tube is engaged at the upper swing structure and is vertically installed, the exhaust tube needs a cover on an upper end of the vertically installed exhaust tube. Otherwise, rain may fall into the exhaust tube. Some heavy construction equipment are equipped with an improved exhaust tube of which upper end is horizontally bent so that rain does not fall into the exhaust tube. In case of large size heavy construction equipment, a rain hat is generally provided for preventing rain from falling into the exhaust tube. [0007]In case of conventional heavy construction equipment which is provided with a rain hat, rattling noises may occur from the rain hat. When the revolution of an engine is low, the discharge force of exhaust gas is weak, so that the rain hat should be installed at a relatively lower side. In case that an engine works, since exhaust gas is discharged whenever one cycle of the engine finishes, the gas discharge pressure of the exhaust tube is not constant. [0008]In case of a rain hat which is installed at a conventional heavy construction equipment, since the rain hat, which receives a discharge pressure of exhaust gas, is designed to operate with the help of a hinge operation of a pin, the rain hat should freely move with a certain gap from a pin hole. In the conventional art, since a discharge pressure of exhaust gas is not constant, rattling noises occur owing to a gap between the pin and the pin hole when the rain hat works. [0009]So, an operator or other persons may feel uneasy when the above rattling noises occur for thereby causing a lot of problems in the course of work.

[0010]Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rain hat attached to an exhaust tube of an engine which is able to prevent rattling noises occurring owing to a conventional rain hat, so that an operator or other persons can feel comfortable in the course of work. [0011]To achieve the above object, in a rain hat which is mounted on an exhaust tube of heavy construction equipment, there is provided a rain hat for heavy construction equipment which comprises a plate which corresponds to a shape of an outlet of the exhaust tube. a connection part which is formed at one end of the plate and is extended in a downward direction. and an elastic plate of which one end is connected with the connection part, and the other end is engaged with the exhaust tube, the elastic plate having a certain length, whereby the outlet of the exhaust tube, which is closed by means of the plate, opens as a discharge pressure overcomes an elastic force of the elastic plate when exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust tube. [0012]For an easier engagement, the rain hat of the heavy construction equipment is formed larger than the outlet depending on the shape of the outlet of the exhaust tube. Since too larger size rain hat does not look nice, the plate slightly larger than the size of the outlet of the exhaust is preferably used. A rectangular protrusion is formed at an end of the rain hat plate. The protrusion allows the connection part to be formed at a lower surface of the plate and to be connected with the elastic plate. So, the whole shape of the rain hat is a spoon shape. [0013]The connection part is welded at a lower surface of the protrusion of the rain hat plate. The welded connection part is engaged with one end of the elastic plate in the longitudinal direction using an engaging member by forming a bolt hole or a rivet hole for an engagement using an engaging member such as a bolt, etc. A bolt hole or a rivet hole is formed at the portion connected with the connection part of the elastic plate like the connection part. [0014]Here, the elastic plate has a certain length. When it is too short, since the elastic coefficient of the elastic member is not large, greater pressure is needed for moving the rain hat. So, the length of the elastic plate is preferably determined depending on the discharge pressure of the exhaust tube. The other end of the elastic plate is connected with the exhaust tube. Namely, it is connected with a fixing terminal, which is formed at an outer side of the exhaust tube, by using an engaging member such as a bolt, etc. The fixing terminal may be directly connected with the exhaust tube based on a welding method, etc. [0015]According to the operation principle of the present invention which uses the elastic plate, when the discharge pressure of exhaust gas is applied to the rain hat, a force for pushing the rain hat is generated. Moment is generated at the lower side of the elastic plate fixed at the exhaust tube depending on the force which pushes the rain hat upward. The elastic plate has a rotational force owing to the moment, so that the rain hat opens. In case that the pressure decreases, it returns to its original state owing to the elastic force of the plate. [0016]To achieve the above object, in a rain hat which is mounted on an exhaust tube of heavy construction equipment, there is provided a rain hat for heavy construction equipment which comprises a plate which corresponds to a shape of an outlet of the exhaust tube. a connection part which is formed at one end of the plate and is extended in a downward direction. a pair of coil springs of which ends are connected with both lower sides of the connection part. and a bracket which is mounted on the exhaust tube in which the other end of each coil spring is horizontally connected, whereby the outlet of the exhaust tube, which is closed by means of the plate, opens as a discharge pressure overcomes an elastic force of the coil spring when exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust tube. [0017]Like the above construction, a rain hat plate shaped depending on the shape of an outlet of the exhaust tube, and a rectangular protrusion integrally formed at one end of the plate are provided, which form a spoon shaped rain hat plate. A connection part is welded at a lower surface of the protrusion of the plate. Two holes are formed at both lower ends of the connection part for connecting the coil spring. A spring having a ring shaped end is engaged at the holes. The ring shaped other end of the spring is fixed at the bracket mounted on both sides of the exhaust tube. Two ends are vertically protruded from both sides of the channel shaped bracket. A fixing hole is formed at an upper side of the vertically formed plate. [0018]According to the operation principle, when the discharge pressure of exhaust gas is applied to the rain hat, the rain hat is forced to lift up. When the rain hat is lifted up, rotational force is applied to the coil spring. The present invention does not use a pin as compared to the conventional art, even when pressure is continuously applied thereto, rattling noises do not occur. When pressure decreases, the rotational force of the spring allows the rain hat to be pushed and closed.

AVP is a leader when it comes to Custom Printed Hard Hats. Safety hard hats are a very important part of the construction industry. Choose from our most popular style such as V-gard, vented v-gard or full brim style hard hats. All prices include up to a 2-color imprint in one location, or purchase any of our hats unprinted by visiting the blank products page.

Our custom hard hats are easy to order and at some of the best prices you'll find. Give us a try! Every hard hat we sell is made by Fibre Metal, Bullard, MSA, Jackson, Pyramex, Vulcan or North and complies with ANSI Z us. General hard hat info along with product specific information is all found at our Hard Hat General Information page. Questions involving head protection or for more information on ANSI and OSHA regulations as it pertains to Head Protection please visit our Head Protection FAQ's page. The History and Background info on hard hats, and our Construction Gear .com store for a wide selection of Construction Hard Hats Discount Safety Gear guarantees effective head protection for less. Our website has a wide range of aluminum hard hats, wide brim hard hats, cowboy hard hats, and custom hard hats. We carry hard hats made by MSA V-Gard, North, Bullard, Pyramex, Vulcan, Jackson, and Fibre Metal. Depending on the type of hard hat, each hat belongs to Class E, G, or C. For differentiation, the classes indicate the amount of voltage a hard hat will protect. Class E, or electrical, will protect up to 20,000 volts, and Class G, or general, protects up to 2200 volts. Class C, or conductive, offers no electrical protection. Aside from electrical protection, our hard hats come in stronger and lightweight safety grades in regards to the materials being used and the work environment. For example, the Fibre Metal SUPEREIGHT model, the forerunner in protective hard hats, can be used in mining, forestry, and utilities work environments. Lightweight hard hats, such as bump caps, are best worn in a less strenuous work environment where the worker will not experience blows to the back of the head. All of our hats offering the strongest protection are made from Polyethylene or High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). For workers who will be working in the sun all day, some of our hard hats have a full brim to protect against UV rays, and, in the case of the Pyramex New Cap hard hat, the brim also offers a rain trough feature. Other specific outdoor features on our hats are four- or six-point standard suspension and thermal plastic with air holes. Our website allows you to browse through our selection of safety hard hats according to price, maker, type of hard hat, and custom hard hats. Jackson Head Turners are known for custom hard hats, with such designs as Glory, Razor, HellRaiser, and Inferno, but all of the makers include custom hard hats. A few brands can even be customized with logos and American, Canadian, and Mexican patriotic images.
