Claim 15

System of claim 11 wherein said upper end of said longitudinal member includes a fork means for securing an insert card coated or impregnated with insect attractant.

Claim 16

System of claim 11 wherein said upper end of said longitudinal member includes a head-encircling means for securing an insert card coated or impregnated with insect attractant.

Claim 17

In combination, a hat and an insect attractant system comprising: a. a heat including a half-spherical member for covering one's head and secured about a hat rim; and b. insect-attractant system including an elongated longitudinal member, a clip means at one end and substantially parallel to said longitudinal member; wherein said parallel clip means comprises a first portion extending along a length of said longitudinal member, and a second portion extending in an opposite direction beyond said one end of said longitudinal member and engaged between adjustable bands of a hat; and a member comprising a predetermined geometrical shape with a coated or impregnated insect attractant and with advertising material printed thereon, spaced at a substantial distance on said longitudinal member from another end; and, whereby said clip secures said longitudinal member, supporting said coated or impregnated member with said attractant, to said hat.

Claim 18

In combination, a hat and an insect attractant system comprising: a. a heat including a half-spherical member for covering one's head and secured about a hat rim; and b. insect-attractant system including an elongated longitudinal member, a clip means at one end and substantially parallel to said longitudinal member; wherein said parallel clip means comprises a first portion extending along a length of said longitudinal member, and a second portion extending in an opposite direction beyond said one end of said longitudinal member and engaged between adjustable bands of a hat; and a member comprising a predetermined geometrical shape with a coated or impregnated insect attractant and with advertising material printed thereon, spaced at a substantial distance on said longitudinal member from another end; and, whereby said clip secures said longitudinal member, supporting said coated or impregnated member with said attractant, to said hat.

Claim 19

In combination, a hat and an insect attractant system comprising: a. a hat including a half-spherical member covering one's head and secured about a hat rim; and, b. insect-attractant system including an elongate longitudinal member, a clip means at one end and substantially parallel to said longitudinal member; wherein said parallel clip means comprises a first portion extending along a length of said longitudinal member, and a second portion extending in an opposite direction beyond said one end of said longitudinal member and engaged between adjustable bands of a hat; and a member comprising a predetermined geometrical shape with a coated or impregnated insect attractant spaced at a substantial midpoint on said longitudinal member and an other end secured to a forward portion of said hat, by a securing means, forming an arcuate longitudinal member; and, whereby said clip secures said longitudinal member, supporting said coated or impregnated member with said attractant about a high point of said hat.
