Abstract

A ball cap storage apparatus including a caged upper frame and a caged lower frame. The caged upper frame further includes an obround first support member, a plurality of dome-shaped second support members, a dome-shaped third support member, and a bill-shaped fourth member. The caged lower frame has an obround first support portion and a bill-shaped second support portion attached to and extended outward from a bottom section of the obround first support portion. The bill-shaped second support portion is hingedly attached to the bill-shaped fourth member. At least one locking clip is rotatably attached to at least one of the obround first support member and the bill-shaped fourth member. The at least one locking clip is selectively engageable with at least one of the obround first support portion and the bill-shaped second support portion.

Claims (12)

1. A ball cap storage apparatus comprising:

a caged upper frame further comprising:

an obround first support member having a right side portion, a left side portion, a top portion, and a bottom portion;

a plurality of dome-shaped second support members, each of the plurality of dome-shaped second support members having a right end attached to the right side portion of the obround first support member and a left end attached to the left side portion of the obround first support member;

a flattened dome-shaped third support member having a top end attached to the top portion of the obround first support member and a bottom end attached to the bottom portion of the obround first support member, wherein the flattened dome-shaped third support member is disposed through each of the plurality of dome-shaped second support members; and

a substantially bill-shaped fourth member attached to and extended outward from the bottom portion of the obround first support member, wherein the substantially bill-shaped fourth member has a linear front portion;

a caged lower frame having an obround first support portion and a substantially bill-shaped second support portion attached to and extended outward from a bottom section of the obround first support portion, wherein a linear front section of the substantially bill-shaped second support portion is hingedly attached to the linear front portion of the substantially bill-shaped fourth member of the caged upper frame;

wherein a circumference of the obround first support member of the caged upper frame is equal to a circumference of the obround first support portion of the caged lower frame;

wherein a circumference of the substantially bill-shaped fourth member of the caged upper frame is equal to a circumference of the substantially bill-shaped second support portion of the caged lower frame; and

at least one locking clip rotatably attached to at least one of the obround first support member of the caged upper frame and the substantially bill-shaped fourth member of the caged upper frame, wherein the at least one locking clip is selectively engageable with at least one of the obround first support portion of the caged lower frame and the substantially bill-shaped second support portion of the caged lower frame, wherein at least one ball cap is removably disposable between the caged upper frame and the caged lower frame when the at least one locking clip is engaged with at least one of the obround first support portion of the caged lower frame and the substantially bill-shaped second support portion of the caged lower frame.

2. The ball cap storage apparatus of claim 1 wherein the plurality of dome-shaped second support members of the caged upper frame is three.

3. The ball cap storage apparatus of claim 2 wherein the at least one locking clip is seven.
