Abstract
Abstract A cap visor defined by upper and lower layers of material having an insert board therebetween in a sealed relationship. A flow mold technique patterns one of the layers of material, as, for example, to simulate stitching. In that the insert board is sealed within the layers of material, any damage, as that from water passing through conventional stitching, is prevented.

The method of producing a cap having a watertight visor which comprises the steps of cutting a first vinyl plastic outer cap visor member, an insert board and a second vinyl plastic outer cap visor member into preselected dimensions, assembling said first vinyl plastic outer cap visor member, said insert board and said second vinyl plastic outer cap visor member so that said insert board is sandwiched between all of the edge margins of said first vinyl plastic outer cap visor member and said second vinyl plastic outer cap visor member, heat sealing said edge margins of said first vinyl plastic outer cap visor member and said second vinyl plastic outer cap visor member so that said insert board is encapsulated therewithin around all edges in a fully sealed and watertight relationship, thereafter placing said heat sealed assembled first vinyl plastic outer cap visor member, said insert board and said second vinyl plastic outer cap visor member within a patterned mold, transmitting high frequency radio waves through said patterned mold to cause flow of said first vinyl plastic outer cap visor member into the pattern of said mold and to maintain all of said edges margins in said fully sealed and watertight relationship, and securing said heat sealed assembled first vinyl plastic outer cap visor member, said insert board and said second vinyl plastic outer cap visor member onto the cap.
