Abstract:

A sports cap is constructed from a plurality of pie-shaped pieces of fabric that are sewn together at a plurality of seams to form a crown or hat portion. The sports cap also includes a relatively stiff removable and rotatable visor so that the visor can be rotated from front to back or to either side while the crown remains stationary on the head of an individual. An elongated member which has a C-shaped cross section is stitched to a rear portion of the visor and is constructed and arranged to engage an elongated track member. The elongated track member has an I-shaped cross section which extends around the circumference of the crown at the base thereof and which is stitched to the base. The I-shaped cross section is constructed and arranged to fit within a channel which is defined by the C-shaped cross section of the elongated member so that the visor may be removed therefrom or rotated thereabout. A flexible tracking assembly for use with a sports cap or for other applications will also include a first elongated member with opposed edges and an intermediate portion which extends along a first article and a second I-shaped track member fixed there to.
