Abstract: My invention, the "Hat Bob", is designed to be an independent clothing accessory item that will "fit over" the closure or adjusting strap found on the back of most "ball type" caps and hats. It's main purpose is the "cover" the opening in the back of a hat or cap above the closure or adjusting strap. It could be constructed of common materials, such as, but not limited to, cloth, plastic, vinyl, etc. It would attach securely onto the back of a hat or cap using common fastening devices, such as, but not limited to, velcro, snaps, loops, etc.(see Enclosure 7: Materials List). One of the previously mentioned designs can be constructed so that a "hidden pocket" can be formed into the "backing" of the "Hat Bob". The "Hat Bob" is easily detachable to launder or attach to another hat or cap. The benefits of the "Hat Bob", although not limited to, could include practical protection from sun, wind, rain, cold, dust, bugs, etc. The outside or facing of the "Hat Bob" provides a convenient space for advertising, display of team or organizational logos, personalized designs, emblems, numbers, fad identity, display of color, and other imaginative creations. In addition to practical applications, I think people who are inclined to wear their hats "backwards" would find a "Hat Bob" an attractive and comfortable hat accessory.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for use in marking the position of a rail-mounted fixture, such as a pattress box, or of a recess in a wall, on to the underside of a board to be fitted to it. The device is intended particularly, but not exclusively, for use in dry-lining of walls, in which context a means is needed to transfer the positions of pattress boxes etc. to the plasterboard used for dry-lining so that a suitable aperture can be cut in the plasterboard to provide access to the pattress box beneath. The device is a body 12, formed e.g. as a plate, which is adapted to be located and mounted by the fixture or recess, e.g. by virtue of provision of a locating dowel 16 and sprung locating device 18. The body carries at least one marker, which may be formed as a sharpened projection 14a-d, positioned such that by mounting the body on the fixture 24 or recess and then presenting the board 30 to it, one or more marks representing the position can be made upon the underside of the board. Also claimed is a an electrical back box (pattress) having at least one integral marker 60 projecting from the front of the box to leave indicator marks on a wall board to indicate the position of the electrical back box.

Abstract: A light switch comprises a face plate associated with a pattress or pattress box. The pattress or pattress box 10 is provided with a terminal block 9 such that a switched cable 4 to the light, loop in cable 7 and loop out cable 8 can be connected within the pattress or pattress box. This avoids the need for a separate junction box, and makes the wiring more accessible than if it were in the ceiling rose or above the ceiling. The terminal block may be integral with the pattress or may be removable.
