| Abstract: |
An organization including a cap and a forwardly directed visor with a selectively securable open mesh fabric sheet of optically transparent characteristic defined by an open mesh web to permit visual observation through the sheet when mounted to the cap. The sheet further includes a pattern imparted upon the sheet in correlation with an associated team of a sporting event and the like. The invention may further include a further sheet that is coextensive with a perimeter defined by the cap to overlie an individual's head for minimizing interaction with insects and the like during a sporting event. Further, the invention may optionally include a fiber optic cable associated with a selectively illuminated light source to direct illumination of a fiber optic framework pattern directed about the pattern formed on the sheet to enhance visual observation of the pattern during conditions of limited available light.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by letters patent of the United States is as follows:
1. A cap and mask organization, comprising,
- a bowl shaped cap member, the cap member including a continuous cap member lower edge, and
- the cap member including a visor member defined by a predetermined width extending forwardly of the cap member adjacent the lower edge, and
- an open mesh optically transparent sheet selectively securable to the cap member in alignment with the visor, and
- the sheet further including a pattern imposed upon the sheet, wherein the pattern retains the outwardly transparent characteristic of the sheet, and
- wherein the cap member includes a first hook and loop fastener strip mounted to an interior surface of the cap member adjacent to and in contiguous relationship to the lower edge, wherein the first hook and loop fastener strip is defined by a predetermined length, and the first hook and loop fastener strip is arranged with the visor medially oriented to and bisecting the first hook and loop fastener strip, and the sheet including an upper terminal edge, the upper terminal edge including a second hook and loop fastener strip integrally mounted thereto, wherein the second hook and loop fastener strip is selectively securable to the first hook and loop fastener strip and is defined by a second hook and loop fastener strip length equal to the predetermined length, and
- including a split neck strap mounted in alignment with a lower terminal edge of the sheet and projecting orthogonally relative to spaced lateral sides of the sheet, and the split lower neck strap including a third hook and loop fastener strip mounted to each free terminal end of the neck strap to provide selective securement of the neck strap about an individual's neck and maintain alignment of the sheet relative to the cap member.
