Abstract: A high quality, ultra-lightweight headgear and method of displaying and storing the headgear in a rolled up format. The headgear is adapted for folding and rolling into a tight compact unit for ease in packaging, product display, travel and storage. The headgear, when unrolled and unfolded, returns to its original and natural shape maintaining its rigidity and new appearance. The headgear may be a visor, ball cap and the like and is made of cloth fabric with a fabric covered soft bill of different shapes. The bill is characterized by being made of closed cell, chemically crosslinked, polyolefin foam with an average cell size of not more than, 0.008 inches and a density range of 5 to 12 pcf. The bill, by the nature of the polyolefin foam construction, won't break or crease when folded or crushed. The bill has a thickness in a range of 3/32 to 1/8 inches and a compression set in a range of 6 to 10% of its thickness. The closed cell polyolefin foam structure of the bill is more rigid and has a higher tensile strength and modulus which makes it a firmer cap bill and also allows its use in a much thinner skiving without the bill having a floppy appearance. The headgear also includes hook and loop fasteners which allow the item to be adjustable to any size head. Further, the headgear includes a headband covered with cloth fabrics The headband is made of an open cell foam material and is designed to absorb perspiration and be self wicking.

Abstract translation: 高品质，超轻的头饰和以卷起格式显示和存放头饰的方法。 头饰适用于折叠和压缩成紧凑的紧凑型单元，以便于包装，产品展示，旅行和储存。 头饰在展开和展开时，恢复原有的自然形状，保持其刚性和新外观。 头巾可以是遮阳板，球帽等，并且由布料织成，覆盖着不同形状的软纸。 该纸币的特征在于由细孔，化学交联的聚烯烃泡沫制成，平均泡孔尺寸不大于0.008英寸，密度范围为5至12pff。 根据聚烯烃泡沫结构的性质，纸币在折叠或压碎时不会破裂或折痕。 纸币的厚度范围为+ E，fra 3/32 + EE至+ E，fra 1/8 + EE英寸，压缩永久变形范围为其厚度的6至10％。 纸币的闭孔聚烯烃泡沫结构更刚性并且具有较高的拉伸强度和模量，这使得它更坚固的盖纸币，并且还允许其在更薄的刮削中使用，而没有纸币具有软盘外观。 头饰还包括钩和环紧固件，其允许物品可调节任何尺寸的头部。 此外，头饰包括用布织物覆盖的头带。头带由开孔泡沫材料制成，并被设计为吸收汗液并且自吸。
