BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a rack that conveniently displays multiple ball caps at an optimal viewing angle in which the ornamentation is readily visible.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Collecting ball caps associated with sports teams, golf courses, businesses, and similar themes is a popular hobby. Often, the more appealing feature of a particular cap is its ornamentation, such as a logo, team insignia, or business identity. However, displaying caps with the ornamentation readily visible is challenging and difficult because the cap must be suspended at an angle, with the cap bill tilting downwardly.

Caps are often stored on shelves that contain either insufficient or excessive storage space that usually cannot be altered according to the size of a given cap collection. Additionally, when resting on a shelf, caps are horizontally oriented such that the ornamentation is partially obscured by the cap's bill. A few cap racks exist that purportedly allow a user to conveniently store multiple ball caps. However, the caps must be collapsed and nested, which conceals the ornamentation. Glass display cases can only store a single cap in a horizontal position whereby the logo is marginally visible.

Accordingly, there is currently a need for a cap rack that can adequately display a plurality of caps at an optimal viewing angle. The present invention addresses this need by providing a rack that suspends multiple caps at an angle in which the ornamentation is readily visible to those nearby.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a cap rack comprising a base strip having a semicircular support band positioned thereon. The support band upwardly extends at a predetermined, acute angle relative to a vertical plane to restrain a ball cap in an optimal viewing angle. The support band includes a clip on each of two side portions and a button retainer on an upper portion for securing a folded cap crown. Multiple strips can be interconnected to form a rack having a larger capacity, if desired.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a rack that conveniently displays multiple ball caps at an optimal viewing angle.

It is therefore another object of the present invention to provide a cap rack having a selectively variable storage capacity.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a cap rack that is easily attachable to a support surface.

Other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment when considered with the attached drawings and the appended claims.
