Abstract:

A chin strap which can be used to retrofit an existing head covering so as to provide a means to retain the head covering on the wearers head without damage to or modification of the head covering. The chin strap is an elongate strand and is provided with a clip at each end. The clips are used to secure the elongate strand to the interior band of the head covering by attachment of a clip on both the left and right side of the interior band. The clip slips over the interior band and is maintained in place by means of clip spring tension. The elongate strand extends between the two clips and is provided in a length which allows generous slack. The amount of slack in the chin strap is adjusted to the comfort of the wearer using a bead or adjustment clip mounted in the mid portion of the elongate strand. The bead or adjustment clip may be imprinted with a logo or trademark so that the chin strap may be used as an advertisement or promotional item. The chin strap is provided with a novel packaging card which simultaneously presents the invention and illustrates its use.
