Patent attributes
A sun protection device including a frame and a drape attached to the frame, where at least a portion of the frame can be removably positioned between the crown and the sweatband of a hat. When the frame is positioned between the crown and sweatband of the hat, the drape hangs downward from the crown, thereby shading at least a portion of a wearer's neck. In one embodiment, the frame and the drape extend around at least one half (and preferably about two-thirds) of the circumference of the crown of the hat, allowing the drape to shade the wearer's neck and ears. The upper edge of the drape may be stitched or otherwise attached to the upper edge of the frame. The drape may be any suitable fabric, and is preferably capable of blocking at least a portion of the sun's UV rays.
