ABSTRACT:
A hat or cap defining a head covering provided with a front portion having a pair of relatively shiftable members which can simulate on a small scale apparently spontaneous lifelike movement, such as the clapping of hands. The members are pivotally coupled by pins to respective ends of a rigid crossbar. The front portion of the head covering has spaced slits through which the end portions of the cross bar extend so that the major portion of the crossbar is inside the head covering and concealed from view. A string coupled to the member passes through the head covering and out of the rear end thereof so that the wearer can pull the string and move the members toward each other. A spring is provided for biasing each member, respectively, away from the other member so that the springs and string work together to provide reciprocal movement of the members as the string is pulled and released. Fabric sleeves or tubes are used to cover the members, and the outer ends of the sleeves can be shaped to provide a special effect, such as hands if clapping of the hands is to be simulated by movements of the members.
