Definitions

  • the present invention relates to protective devices for bodies and in particular to shields to protect a person's face and surrounding areas from the sun or other light source.
  • Shields for protecting a person's face from the sun are generally well known and there are many different types of shields available.
  • the general concept of a compact shade that blocks the face of someone sunbathing or lying in the sun, while allowing the circulation of air to flow naturally on and around that persons face and head while laying out tanning the rest of their body is known.
  • the shade portion of the shield is usually made from protective material to assist with keeping the skin healthy and protected from the sun's rays and its many harmful effects that occur when the face is over exposed to the sun.
  • the devices are used to protect a sunbather's face from the suns harmful rays, providing maximum protection for the face from the sun while allowing the rest of the body to remain exposed. More people are becoming conscious of the damage that the sun can do to one's face and are taking various precautions to protect themselves from the fatal and/or irreversible damages such as; premature aging, sun spots, permanent scars from blemishes, skin cancer, heat stroke, and 2nd degree burns.
  • the general concept allows sunbathers who enjoy lying in the sun, maximum protection from the sun for their face, while getting the circulation of air about the face and head that creates comfort while sunbathing.
  • More advanced shields which allow air to circulate around a user's face were developed as a substitute.
  • One such shield is a cloth covered framework having three panel sections hingedly attached to each other.
  • the three panels include a horizontally positioned base panel on which the head is rested, a vertical header panel which supports a shade panel hingedly arranged for positioned in parallel alignment with the base panel as a sun shade.
  • the shade panel has side flaps for additional shading and as a retainer for the folded framework. Handles for carrying and fasteners for the side flaps as a retainer are provided.
  • Another configuration used is provided by a pair of rigid upright support members and a cross member connected to their upper ends from which a panel of flexible material is suspended by one edge.
  • the panel is blown by the wind to a substantially horizontal position to provide a shaded area of a size to protect the face of a sun bather lying prone on the ground.
  • a third type of shade is provided by a face shield formed of a rigid transparent material, containing pigmenting or surface films to block the transmission of damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun.
  • this material is formed into an arc.
  • simple support legs are provided such that the face shield will rest on the earth surface with room for motion of the user's head beneath the shield. Air circulation is enhanced by such support and by ventilation holes in the face shield near the support legs.
  • the support legs are foldable toward the concave centre of the face shield, and are useful as carrying handles for the face shield in an inverted position which can be used as a device to carry items.
  • a further relatively simple apparatus is a foldable face shade for a sunbather comprising a first U-shaped frame component, a second U-shaped frame component, a hinge movably connecting the tips of said first U-shaped frame component to the tips of said second U- shaped frame component, whereby said two U-shaped frame components form a frame foldable in half, and UV deflecting material attached to said frame.
  • the present invention is directed to providing a shade device that not only protects a user's face from the sun and any ultraviolet rays while still allowing a user to have air circulate over their face, but also providing a comfortable head rest keeping a user's head off the ground and in alignment with the supine body.
  • the present invention is directed to a face shield, which may at least partially overcome the abovementioned disadvantages or provide the consumer with a useful or commercial choice.
  • the invention resides in a face shield for shielding a user's face and neck from a light or radiation source, the face shield comprising a base member upon which a person lying in a supine position can place their head, a shade member arranged for positioning between the light source and the user's face and at least one elongate substantially upright member extending between the base member and the shade member.
  • the face shield is particularly adapted to block the sun from the face of the user while sunbathing or lying in the sun, while allowing the circulation of air to flow naturally on and around that persons face and head and allowing tanning to occur over the rest of their body.
  • the face shield comprises a base member upon which a person may place their head.
  • the base member may preferably be substantially similar to the shade member.
  • the base member may be inflatable and be disk-shaped or substantially circular.
  • the base member may suitably have a thicker outer annular portion and a thinner central portion.
  • the thinner central portion may preferably be formed from a material which is substantially impermeable to ultraviolet light or rays. It is particularly preferred that the base member and the shade member are substantially similar as this will allow the user to locate their head on either member and still have a shade member located above their face.
  • the central portion may preferably be recessed into the base member so as to allow a person's head to be comfortably located thereon.
  • the base member is preferably attached to the bottom of the upstanding member.
  • the base member may not be attached to the bottom of the outstanding member but may be attached part of the way down the upstanding member allowing the insertion of the remainder of the upstanding member into the ground until the base member is located adjacent the ground. This may prevent the face shield from moving when such is not required.
  • the base member is suitably similar in size to the shade member.
  • the shade member may preferably be a substantially planar member. As the shade member may be suitably located at an upper portion of the upstanding member, the shade member may preferably be quite light in weight.
  • the shade member may suitably comprise one or more frame members with a material which is at least partially but preferably substantially impermeable to ultraviolet light or rays attached to or otherwise associated with the one or more frame members. In a particularly preferred form, there may be a single substantially circular frame member with the material attached to the frame member in order to provide shade.
  • the shade member is preferably large enough to provide shade to a user's head and/or part of their upper torso as well.
  • the shade member may preferably be movable with respect to the upstanding member between a first use positioned in which the shade member is configured to provide shade to a person's face and a second travel position wherein in the shade member or the face shield as a whole is configured to be more compact and therefore easily transportable.
  • the shade member may be an at least partially inflatable member.
  • the shade member is disk- shaped or substantially circular.
  • the inflatable shade member may suitably have a thicker outer annular portion and a thinner central portion.
  • the central portion may be formed from a material which is substantially impermeable to ultraviolet light or rays but still allow person to see through the portion. This material may preferably be an ultra violet impermeable fabric for example.
  • the central portion may preferably be recessed into the shade member so as to allow a person's head to be comfortably located thereon when the shade member is used as the base member.
  • the upstanding member may preferably be of any shape provided that the member is shaped so as not to prevent the airflow about the user's head.
  • the upstanding member may preferably be attached to a peripheral portion of the shade member.
  • the outstanding member may suitably be pivotably attached to the peripheral portion of the shade member.
  • the upstanding member may be of any height suitable to allow a user to locate their head beneath the shade member. Most preferably, the upstanding member may be
  • the upstanding member may preferably be provided with a pointed or otherwise shaped lower portion in order to allow the upstanding member to be inserted into the ground.
  • the lower portion may suitably be a wedge shaped portion.
  • the upstanding member may suitably be provided with a flattened or enlarged upper portion to allow a force to be exerted easily on the upstanding member in order to locate the upstanding member in the ground.
  • the flattened or enlarged upper portion may be adapted to be struck with a hammer or pushed by a user's hand, for example.
  • the upstanding member may typically be wide enough to offer shade to a user's face from the sun when the sun is that a small angle of inclination to the horizon. In this situation, the upstanding member may be positioned between the sun and the user's face.
  • the upstanding member in the most preferred embodiment may be substantially vertical, but it should be clear that this is a preferred configuration only.
  • the upstanding member may not be vertically oriented but instead be diagonal or even helical in nature.
  • the upstanding member may be inflatable.
  • the upstanding member may suitably be resilient and may also be deformable.
  • the inflatable upstanding member may be manufactured from a strong but pliable plastic material, capable of maintaining its shape when inflated, but malleable when deflated.
  • Each of the members and preferably all of the members comprising the face shield may preferably be formed in discrete portions and may be separately inflatable and deflatable.
  • Each member may further comprise a valve to inflate or deflate the member.
  • one valve may allow inflation and deflation of the entire face shield simultaneously.
  • Each valve may be adapted for use by means to inflate the member such as, a user's mouth or other means for example a pump.
  • the valves on each of the members may be of a substantially similar type so that more than one means to inflate or deflate the member is not required.
  • the members may be detachably secured to one another in their assembled form.
  • the members may be detached from one another in order to facilitate more convenient storage or transport of the face shield.
  • There may be means for attachment located on each member to facilitate attachment to the other members.
  • the face shield may preferably further comprise a peg member associated with the face shield base portion adapted to be inserted into the ground to prevent the face shield from moving or blowing away.
  • the upstanding member may be rotatably connected to the base member and/or the shade member.
  • the rotatable connection provided between any of the members may be adapted to be releasably secured in a particular position or orientation so as not to move when movement is not desired.
  • a means for releasably securing the rotatable connection in a particular position may be a pin member extending through the connection.
  • the upstanding member may be rotatable about the horizontal only, in order to allow the user to maintain the face shield between the face and the sun as the sun moves across the sky during the day.
  • the upstanding member may be provided with rotatable connections to both the base member and the shade member.
  • the rotatable connections may be capable of rotating the attached members in a 360 degree arc with respect to the upstanding member.
  • the invention resides in a face shield for shielding a user's face and neck from a light or radiation source, the face shield comprising at least one elongate, substantially upright member, and a shade member arranged for positioning between the light source and the user's face.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the face shield according to an aspect of the invention shown in use.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the face shield according to a second aspect of the invention in the travel configuration.
  • Figure 3 shows the face shield of Figure 2 in the use position.
