Portable shading- Umbrella

A patent for an improved sun shade hat. The hat protects the wearer from heatstroke and frees the wearer’s hands to work by shielding their heads from the sun. A clamp and washers are used in this design to enable the hat to remain open/ closed while off the wearer’s head, which is an improvement over previous styles.
