Abstract
A support system includes a headwear system, a frame adapted to have a visor attached thereto, a first member attached to the headwear system, a second member attached to the frame, which is pivotable relative to the first member, an adjustable mechanism adapted to abut and apply force to the second member in a first state to compress the second member into abutting engagement with the first member, an extending pivot member extending axially through a passage in the first member and a passage in the second member. The position of the adjustable mechanism is adjustable to place it in the first state or in at least a second, nonabutting state. The extending pivot member includes a first flange and a second flange, spaced from the first flange to capture a portion of the first member and a portion of the second member therebetween.
