PCT No. PCT/US85/00425 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 27, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 27, 1986 PCT Filed Mar. 15, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO86/05368 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 25, 1986.A visor for a billed type hat having a holder (20) of similar configuration to the periphery of the bill with a lens (40) distending at right angles downward in front of the bill covering the wearers eyes. A socket (26) within the holder (20) rotatably connected to a link (50) provides vertical movement and a jaw (58) is further rotatably attached to the link (50). The jaw also contains a pair of fingers (64) that springingly separate to grasp the bill of a cap near the crown. The device rotates upward from the cap and, through friction of the rotating members, remains in the elevated position at the wearers option.

We claim:
1. An improved detachable visor of the type having a face shield privotally mountable on the bill of a cap wherein the improvement comprises:
- (a) a lens holder having an inverted "L" shape extending between terminating ends, each terminating end having a bifurcated channel like socket with portions defining a pair of parallel bores, said holder having a pair of downwardly depending parallel legs, one on the outside and the other on the inside, defining a groove therebetween, the inside leg having a plurality of holes through the leg in spaced relationship, the holder having a width between the terminating ends to correspond with the breadth of a bill on a cap;
- (b) a plurality of round lens mounting sleeves each embracingly grasped within a said hole in said inside leg of the holder on one end and contiguous with said outside leg of the holder on the other providing a bridge therebetween for attachment purposes within the groove of said lens holder;
- (c) a resilient lens with the properties of transparency having a flat depending top edge and a contoured bottom edge, the top further containing a plurality of keyhole shaped slots near the uppermost portion with the narrowest point smaller than said lens mounting sleeves and the largest radial end of the slot the same size, the lens is removably secured to said holder within said groove, the resiliency of the lens allowing deformation to occur around the slots when forced upon said sleeves providing securement thereupon;
- (d) a pair of cylindrically shaped swivel links, each link having a cavity with a slit continuing to the outside surface on one end, and a rod portion having a peripheral groove therein extending at right angles to the cavity on the other end, each link frictionally constrained within said bifurcated socket, the bores aligned with the cavity defining a connecting member with rotational capabilities in opposed directions;
- (e) a pair of hinge pins, each pin pressingly engaging the bores in said bifurcated socket and rotatably contiguous with said link cavity flush with the outside surface providing an arcuate union;
- (f) a pair of resilient mounting jaws, each jaw having a round chamber with a hollow at right angles thereto and a pair of parallel jaw fingers, rotatably attached to a said swivel link, the rod portion slideably embracing the chamber providing a jaw that is laterally and longitudinally rotatable with said lens holder, and the jaw fingers springingly grasping the edges of a bill on a cap for attachment thereunto; and,
- (g) a pair of link locking swivel pins, each said link pin engaging one of the said hollows and rotatably contiguous with the peripheral groove in said swivel link restraining the jaw and link together for attaching the visor to the bill of a cap on each side in such a manner as to provide adjustment throughout the full arcuate range of travel.
