ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hat with a window, and especially to a hat which can present various styles by changing the patterns or trademarks on the hat.
In general, the manufacturers print patterns or trademarks on hats so that the hat can present a vivid outlook. Conventionally, in the manufacturing process, if it is desired to add patterns to hats, the work is complex and thus cost is increased. Especially, as it is desired to change the patterns of a hat, the conventional way is to renew the printing plate and reprint it. However, much time is required. For the consumers, the hat must be matched with the styles of the clothing, while it often occurs that the patterns or trademarks on the hat are not matched with the style of the clothing, but the patterns or trademarks can not be removed.
However, nowadays, fashion trends are varied quickly and often in election, often the marks are printed on hat for presenting the support to some candidate, but after electing, these hats are not used so that these hats become waste and will pollute the environment. Therefore, there is an eager demand for a novel design of a hat, in which the patterns or trademarks are replaceable by the user. Thereby, the hat is not only a tool for shielding sunlight, but also it becomes a decoration with changeable patterns.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a hat having a window made of soft material. A transparent frame is formed at a front end of a cover frame of the hat. The cover frame has a transparent frame. A lower edge of the transparent frame has an opening for being passed through by an imaginary message sheet for presenting a message. As the hat is used, the opening faces downwards and is sealed by an edge of the hat so that the imaginary message sheet is placed into the transparent frame. It is fixed therein and messages thereon can be presented through the transparent frame. If the messages are desired to be updated, then the orientation of the cover frame is changed so that the opening is horizontal to the edge of the hat, and thus, the imaginary message sheet can be placed into the transparent frame rapidly. Therefore, the hat with a window can present the image of the user.
The hat of the present invention has the following advantages:
1. By the transparent frame of the present invention, the manufacturers can change the trademark on the hat rapidly and quickly.
2. The present invention can meet the requirement of environment protection, as the mark on the hat is undesired, such as a mark used in a special period, for example, election, only the imaginary message sheet in the hat is necessary to be deserted, not the whole hat.
3. The hat of the present invention may present the personality of the user. The user can print patterns from a computer and then insert the patterns into the transparent frame of the hat according to the present invention.
4. The present invention can be used as an active advertisement. The advertising content can be present through the transparent frame so as to present a preferred advertising effect.
5. The present invention can be used as an effect of searching for some peoples or record words. These messages can be presented on the head so as to enhance the effect.
