A device for retaining a visored cap upon a wearer\s head under high wind conditions includes a strap member and a pair of clamp members that directly engage the strap member and a portion of a visor on a cap. The direct coupling between the strap member and the visor on the cap, which is maintained by the clamp members, is particularly advantageous for maintaining a cap in a desired position on a wearer\s head under high wind conditions. The retaining device of this invention also includes an adjustment member that allows a wearer to vary the effective length of the strap member to ensure a snug fit. Each of the clamp members and the adjustment member include a housing having a cavity and an opening formed therein, a pin member slidable in the cavity and having an opening formed therein and a spring to bias the pin member thereby clamping the strap member in the openings.

A device for retaining a visored cap upon a wearer\s head, comprising: a strap member having opposite free ends; a pair of clamp members each having a housing with a cavity and an opening formed therein, a pin member slidable in said cavity and having an opening formed therein and a biasing means in said cavity for biasing said pin member, said pin member opening having a first engagement surface, said housing opening having a second engagement surface and said biasing means biasing said first engagement surface toward said second engagement surface, said opening in said pin member including a central aperture portion extending generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said pin member and a slotted portion extending radially from said central aperture to a side surface of said pin member, said first engagement surface being formed in said slotted portion; and an adjustment member for selectively and adjustably engaging a portion of said strap member whereby when pressure is applied to said pin members against said biasing means to move said first and second engagement surfaces of each said clamp member away from one another and align said pin member opening with said housing opening in each said clamp member, one of said free ends of said strap member and a portion of a visor of a cap can be inserted into said housing opening and said pin member opening of an associated one of said clamp members, and when said pressure is removed from said pin members, said free ends of said strap member and the portions of the visor are releasably attached together and said adjustment member can be moved along said strap member to selectively vary a distance between said adjustment member and said free ends of said strap member to accommodate a head of a wearer of the cap.
