DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION [0011] In describing embodiments of the invention illustrated in the drawings, it is to be understood that these embodiments are given by way of illustration only. It is not intended that the invention be limited in its scope to the details of construction and arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. Also, in describing the embodiments, specific terminology will be used for the sake of clarity. Each specific term includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar object. [0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cap, according to one embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a separated visor structure view of a cap, according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, embodiments of the invention are directed to a baseball-style slitted cap, including: a crown portion (4) which is a main part and which is separated into at least one section or panel; and a visor portion separated into more than one section (1,2) which are attached to the bottom of the front portion of the crown portion. The visor portions (1,2) are separated with at least one gap, and the visor portions (1,2) are connected with connecting material (5). The visor portions and/or crown portions can have one gap (i.e., dividing two sections) or more than one gap (i.e., dividing more than two sections). [0013] In one embodiment, the gap is separated as a tower shaped curve, and the connecting material is accordingly shaped as a tower shaped curve. The tower shaped curve and the separated section is aesthetically pleasing. However, these experienced in the art will realize that the connecting material can be shaped in other additional shapes. [0014] In addition, by making the connecting material connecting the visor portions (1,2) in a color that is different from the visor portions, a contrast effect is achieved, and a visual aesthetic sense effect is gained. In addition, at least one emblem can be expressed on the cap. The emblem can include, but is not limited to: at least one number, at least one figure, at least one drawing, at least one word, or at least one symbol, or any combination thereof. The emblem can be displayed according to a user's desires. In one embodiment, the invention may be used as an advertisement. The cap material, or the connecting material, or both may be made of, but are not limited to, the following: fabric, silicon, synthetic resin, elastic material, or leather, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, a cap may be either folded or unfolded on the gap or connecting material without any damage so that keeping and carrying the cap is convenient. [0015] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a cap, according to one embodiment of the invention. The cap includes a crown portion (,4) which is made of a plurality of panels or sections (3) and visor portions (1,2) which are attached to the bottom of the crown portion. [0016] In one embodiment of the invention, only the visor portion or the crown portion is separated. In another embodiment of the invention, the crown portion (4) and the visor portions (1,2) are both separated with a gap. The separated section of the visor portions (1,2) and crown portion (4) may be filled with connecting material (5,6) that is inserted connecting the separated section of the visor portions (1,2) and the crown portion (4). Furthermore, in one embodiment, the gap between the visor portions (1,2) and crown portion (4) can be one gap, or multiple gaps separated by material. Similarly, the connecting material can fill in the one gap, or multiple gaps which are separated by another material. [0017] When elastic material is used for the connecting material (5,6), the cap can be automatically adjusted for a wearer's head size within a certain range. When mesh fabric is used for the connecting material (5,6), a ventilation effect is provided. [0018] FIG. 4 illustrates a separated visor and crown portion, according to one embodiment of the invention. FIG. 5 is a front view of a cap, according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a cap comprises a crown portion which is made of one or more sections or panels, and visor portions which are attached to the bottom of the crown portion. The crown portions and the visor portions are separated with at least one gap. In the gap, a special connecting material is inserted connecting the separated sections of the cap portion and the visor portions. In one embodiment, the gap of the visor portion is a straight line of rectangular shape. The shape can be the same shape as the gap between the crown portion, or it can be of a different shape. As mentioned earlier, said separated section of visor portion can be made of various shapes. [0019] In one embodiment, the peripheral edge of the connecting material may be wrapped and/or bound. FIG. 6 is a magnified view of section A-A' of FIG. 5, according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the visor portion comprises a first material (11) and a second material (9,10) on the upper and under parts, which wraps and/or bounds the first material. This wrapping and/or binding feature may be applied to other embodiments. A connecting material (5) is inserted in the gap or gaps connecting the separated visor portions to each other. [0020] The feature of connecting any separated cap portions using connecting material (4, 5) may be applied to other embodiments. For example, in one embodiment, the connecting material may also be used to connect the separated panels of the crown. Continue reading about Slitted cap...
