Abstract
Abstract An acoustic headgear-sun visor assembly for use by pilots, users of Walkman-type radio and tape deck assemblies, users of noise attenuation devices and the like. The assembly comprises a headpiece including a flat band support member. A split bolt having a bifurcated shank receives the flat band support member. A sun visor is mounted on the split bolt in an angularly adjustable friction fit, enabling shifting it between operative and inoperative positions.
