ABSTRACT:
A visor guard for covering the visor of a baseball-type cap having a crown with a headband about the edge of the crown and an adjusting strap at the rear of the headband for altering the cap size. The guard comprises a pocket made of a washable material, preferably terry cloth, defined by upper and lower panels. The shapes of the panels generally conform to the shape of the visor to be covered and the panels are secured together about their edges which conform to the free edge of the visor. The remainder of the edges of the panels are not connected together so as to form an opening through which the visor may be inserted into the pocket. A sweatband is connected to one of the edges of the opening and is positioned to lie against the inside of the headband and against the forehead of the wearer of the cap, and a retainer is connected to the sweatband and may be tucked in between the headband and the crown of the cap to hold the guard in place on the visor. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a sleeve made of terry cloth encircles the strap attached to the headband, and the sleever acts as a sweatband against the back of the head together with the sweatband on the visor guard when the cap is worn.
