Abstract

A pinned plate assembly having a plate assembly and post assemblies. The plate assembly mounts onto headgear without affecting the integrity of the headgear by utilizing existing eyelets to receive the post assemblies therethrough. The plate assembly is made of a flexible and bendable semi rigid material that maintains its shape once configured. The plate assembly has an exterior face, an interior face, first and second edges, first and second lateral edges, and an advertisement band section mounted onto the exterior face. The advertisement band section displays desired first text, and/or first letters, and/or first symbols, and/or first words, and/or first logo designs, and/or first artwork, and/or first graphics. The interior face has two apertures with respective aperture frames disposed at predetermined distances from respective corners defined by the first edge and the first and second lateral edges to receive the post assemblies.

Claims

1. A pinned plate assembly, comprising:

A) a plate assembly made of a flexible and bendable semi rigid material that maintains its shape once configured, said plate assembly has an exterior face, an interior face, first and second edges, first and second lateral edges, and an advertisement band section mounted onto said exterior face, said advertisement band section displays desired first text, or first letters, or first symbols, or first words, or first logo designs, or first artwork, or first graphics, said interior face has two apertures with respective aperture frames disposed at predetermined distances from respective corners defined by said first edge and said first and second lateral edges; and

B) two post assemblies, said plate assembly mounts onto a headgear without affecting integrity of said headgear by utilizing existing eyelets to receive said two post assemblies therethrough, whereby said two post assemblies mount onto said interior face.

2. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said advertising band section is an integral part of said plate assembly, or is a separate band that is attached to said exterior face.

3. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 2, further characterized in that as said separate band, said advertising band section is attached to said exterior face with hook and loop fasteners, magnets, silicone, and non-permanent glue or adhesives.

4. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that each said aperture frame is fixed onto said interior face around its respective said aperture.

5. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that each said aperture frame has a first diameter slightly smaller than a second diameter of said aperture.

6. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said interior face comprises a reusable interior identification section, wherein personal dedications, or identification information, or emergency contact information, or special or medical conditions, or desired second text, or second letters, or second symbols, or second words, or second logo designs, or second artwork, or second graphics may be placed thereon.

7. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said plate assembly has a substantially rectangular shape.

8. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that each of said two post assemblies comprises a backing, extending from said backing is a swivel base, protruding from said swivel base is a post having a head at its distal end.

9. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 8, further characterized in that each of said two apertures is of a cooperative shape and dimension to removably receive a respective said head of said post therein.

10. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 8, further characterized in that each of said respective aperture frames are made of a resilient material that permits a respective said head to fit therein.

11. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 8, further characterized in that said swivel base permits said post to swivel from a perpendicular position with respect to said backing to a predetermined angled position.

12. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 8, further characterized in that said plate assembly mounts onto headgear having a crown, when said two apertures are aligned with eyelets and from an interior section of said crown, said two post assemblies pass through said eyelets until said two apertures receive their respective said head.

13. The pinned plate assembly set forth in claim 12, further characterized in that said headgear is a soft cap with a rounded crown and a stiff peak projecting in front.
