Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]This utility patent application claims the benefit of provisional application No. 60/745,265, filed Apr. 20, 2006. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002]Not Applicable. THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0003]Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004]1. Field of the Invention [0005]The present invention relates to reversible hats and particularly to a reversible sports cap or baseball cap which comprises a two-sided sports cap with a crown insert bearing indicia inside of a sports cap crown to form a reversible sports cap which can be worn right side out or inside out with full color and design and any desired information both on the outside of the cap and on the inside of the cap so that during a crucial time of the game, fans may turn their caps inside out to show a message come rallytime in any sport, the crown insert can be sold which would serve as a cap liner for existing sports caps or the insert and sports cap sold together. [0006]2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98 [0007]In sporting events there is a time when the score is close or it is close to the end of the game. The fans call this rallytime. During rallytime all fans turn their hats inside out, and upside down, doing so shows the ugly inside tag, stitching, etc. of the hat. [0008]While there are prior art hats which are two sided, none specifically feature rallytime insignia and none provide the same opportunity for a double sided cap for rallytime with the same attaching system inserting the insert crown inside the sweat band of a new or existing sports cap. [0009]Reversible hats are known in the art. Those made for changing a user's style or fashions include U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,569,942; 1,571,107; 1,602,889; 2,948,900; 3,187,345; 1,538,847; 1,504,350; 260,332; 129,194; 225,120; 1,111,659; 6,018,821. [0010]Baseball caps that may readily be altered or modified have also been provided such as those found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,519,779; 5,070,545; 4,873,726 and 4,776,043 which show baseball caps having removable and interchangeable logos or indicia to be selectively arranged and modified thereon; for example, to identify with two different athletic teams. [0011]Other hats provide changeable crowns, such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,070,270; 1,105,400 and 1,504,350, this change is accomplished by employing a separate crown or reversible covering which must be removed, reversed, and then reattached to the crown of the cap. [0012]Baseball caps with a face mask have also been provided for fans to use for rallying for their favorite sports team, such as those found in U.S. Patent Application No. 20060070160 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,817,036 and 6,671,886. [0013]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,181,277, issued Jan. 26, 1993 to Sherman, illustrates a reversible hat which comprises two hemispherical crown members each having a head-encircling outer edge, the crown members joined substantially only about the outer edges of the crown members to allow independent action and shaping of the crown members; and stiffening means are provided for at least one of the crown members to permit said reversible hat to maintain an outer formed hat shape in either position of reversal of the hat. A re-attachable sweatband is further provided for use in either position of the reversal of the hat. [0014]Two prior art U.S. Pat. No. 6,993,794 issued Feb. 7, 2006 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,557,180 issued May 6, 2003 to Hall, disclose a headwear assembly that includes a reversible crown, shaped to fit the head of a wearer with fabric with hook and loop fasteners, fabric ties, plastic, one-size-fits-all or other size adjustment mechanisms, having first and second opposing major surfaces and a detachable and reversible dual visor with first and second opposing major surfaces. The reversible crown includes cooperating attachment members located on the inside non-focal surfaces of the first and second major opposing surfaces, providing the base for attaching, detaching and reattaching the removable and reversible dual visor. The removable and reversible dual visor has first and second major opposing surfaces along with cooperating attachment members used to attach, detach and reattach itself to the reversible crown. The visor and crown are easily removable and reversible to include one major surface each being displayed upwardly during wear and accounts for different headwear assembly looks plus the reversible crown worn alone. [0015]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,488,740, issued Feb. 6, 1996 to Garza, shows a reversible and size adjustable hat including a first crown portion and a second crown portion stitched to the first crown portion. A first brim section is stitched to a second brim section with a brim stiffener stitched therebetween. The first brim section stitches to the first crown portion, while the second brim section stitches to the second crown portion. An elastic band permits the expansion of the first and second crown portions to allow the reversible hat to fit the head of any wearer. [0016]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 1,046,478, issued Dec. 10, 1912 to McDevitt, is for a reversible baseball cap having a protective cork layer between two crown layers, either of which may be worn outside to present a different color. [0017]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,477,629, issued Dec. 26, 1995 to Gleason, Jr., claims a multi-adjustable display cap includes a head covering with a display region of fabric conducive to releasable engagement with a hook element of a hook-and-loop type fastener set, the display region defining a display surface on an outside surface of the head covering, and a set of display elements each having a front surface and a rear attachment surface formed of a hook element of a hook-and-loop type fastener set for releasable attachment upon the display surface. The head covering is reversible to allow a wearer to display the inside surface and the outside surface of the head covering. Preferably, the inside surface exhibits a first pattern or color and the outside surface exhibits a second pattern or color different from the first pattern or color. [0018]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 5,734,993, issued Apr. 7, 1998 to D'Oca, discloses woman's sports hat. A pin configured to represent the sport the woman intends to play while wearing the hat is inserted through two openings at the front of the hat so as to secure the hat to the woman's head. The hat will then resist being blown off in the wind, or falling off during physical, sports related activity. To further relate the hat and sport together a logo representing the same sport as the sports pin is imprinted or otherwise affixed to one or both sides of the hat. Reversible hats and caps can have different logos on the inside and outside of the hat so that the hat can simply be turned inside out, and the appropriate sports pin inserted in order to make the hat suitable for different sports, as, for example, golf and tennis. [0019]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 6,966,071, issued Nov. 22, 2005 to Cascone, puts forth a reversible baseball style cap providing a crown having first and second layers of material that together form a dome shape that enables a user to wear and conform the crown to the user's head, and wherein either layer can be shaped into a concavity that abuts the user's head during use and wherein the outer layer defines an outer exposed surface. A bill of a floating foam material has a first curved edge that is stitched to the crown in between the first and second layers. The bill has a second curved edge defining a front of the cap. An adjustment cord extends through an opening in at least one of the layers at a position opposite the bill. The cord has end portions that are attached to the crown at two positions generally on opposite sides of the cord opening. A sleeve adjustably, slidably attaches to the cord to form an adjustable loop with the cord. A user can adjust the fit of the hat to his or her head by moving the cord relative to the sleeve so that when the loop is enlarged or reduced in size, the cap can be fitted to the wearer when either the first or second layer is the outer exposed surface. In the preferred embodiment, the brim is of a different material than the crown, preferably a floating material that has sufficient floatation to float the entire cap, even when the crown portion is saturated with water. [0020]Prior art U.S. Pat. No. 1,816,346, issued Jul. 28, 1931 to Silverstein, claims a reversible peaked hunter's cap having an inner and outer fabric, one of which is bright red to provide visual indication for use in hunting when the same is worn on the outside.
