Description

A DECORATIVE CONJUTO OF VI SERA BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Priority Claim This application is based on, and a priority claim is made, according to USC, Section 119 (e) a, the provisional patent application filed with the United States Patent Office, on April 25 of 1997 and assigned serial No. 60 / 044,866.
Field of the Invention The present invention is directed towards a visor assembly that is worn on the wearer's forehead, in order to provide attractive protection, light weight and uniqueness to the eyes, and the use of a decorative product. Also, the invention relates to a visor assembly that is conveniently stored and contained until its use, which still has an improved three-dimensional appearance and a substantial ornamental configuration, despite its compact and storable nature.
Description of the Related Art Visors are commonly used and used alternately to hats, and are frequently used to provide shade, adornment and / or as an effective display site for a logo, advertisement or other decorative graphic. Typically the visors are formed of a material similar to that of the hat, they are covered with cloth and incorporate an elastic band to secure them to the user's head. Alternatively, and as it is often in the case of promotional situations, where the visors are distributed as a cheap advertising / promotional product, for example in a park, fair or other outdoor sites, where sun protection will be provided to consumers, sets of very cheap visors are provided. In such large volume distribution situations, the visors are typically formed of a molded plastic material, which is configured to form them. Likewise, the natural resilient tendencies of the plastic material make it possible for the device to be held in the user's head. However, unfortunately, the cheap visor assemblies that are currently known, have a very limited decorative appearance and variants, are generally rigid, and can not be stored conveniently and effectively when not in use, tend to tighten the wearer's head when they are used for prolonged periods of time, and can be expensive to manufacture in large volumes, especially due to the requirements for three-dimensional molding. In addition to the basic cost associated with the manufacture of such visor assemblies in volume,. that incorporate an elaborate and / or ornamental design configuration, is also not cost effective due to the substantial molding adaptations that must be achieved in order to make a particular visor assembly. In fact, once a particular configuration is developed in a mold, variations thereof are not typically used at all, due to the expense of manufacturing a new mold. Also, such conventional plastic visor designs have a limited ornamental appearance and are truly a functional product rather than an elaborate, ornamental, three-dimensional and cheerful product.
As such, it would be highly beneficial to provide an improved visor assembly, which has an attractive and improved three-dimensional and ornamental appearance, which not only provides protection to the user's eyes, but also defines an elaborate, cheerful and artistic article to be used by the user. Additionally, such an improved visor assembly must be cost effective to manufacture in a variety of configurations and in a variety of different styles and attractive arrangements. In addition, such a device should be substantially lightweight and comfortable to the user and should be conveniently stored both before and after use. The assembly of the present invention provides such a configuration and overcomes the remaining deficiencies in the art related to sun visors.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a decorative visor assembly that is worn on a user's head. Specifically, the visor assembly includes a first panel of material, generally planar, and a second panel of material also generally planar. Preferably, these panels of material are formed of an elastic, yet flexible material, such as that typically supplied under the Mylar® trademark. Additionally, the decorative visor assembly includes a structured seal assembly for selectively and accurately coupling the first panel of material to the second panel of material. In particular, the seal assembly includes a structured pepmétpco seal to define a primary chamber between the first and second panels of material. Also, that perimeter seal is substantially impervious to fluid, such as air, within the primary chamber. To allow selective flow of fluid in and out of the primary chamber, valve elements are supplied. Specifically, these valve elements enable the selective flow of air, in order to define an inflation orientation and a deflation orientation of the primary chamber, defined between the first and second material panels.
Additionally, the seal assembly of the decorative visor assembly includes a plurality of interior seals. These inner seals are structured and arranged to attach the first panel of material to the second panel of material, so that upon inflating the primary chamber, an inflation force resulting from the filling of the primary chamber and tension, applied to the first and second panels of material are selectively moved through the first and second panels of material, in order to define a shadow region forward and a later security region. The rear security region is structured to be coupled, at least partially, around the user's head, thus retaining the entire visor assembly appropriately placed on the user's head. Also, the posterior security region is coupled around the head of the user, so as to extend the front shadow region to the outside, in a generally perpendicular orientation, from the front of the user and in shadow relation over the eyes of this user.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative visor assembly, which has a substantially attractive appearance and an improved three-dimensional shape. A further object of the present invention is to provide a decorative visor assembly, which is substantially reversible in order to provide multiple improved ornamental configurations. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a decorative visor assembly, which is substantially light in weight and comfortable to wear by a user. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a decorative visor assembly, which can be stored in a substantially convenient manner, before and after its use. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a decorative visor assembly, which is substantially cost-effective to manufacture in an attractively and ornamentally substantially decorated configuration.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a decorative visor assembly, which is safe to use and which provides an effective visor configuration despite the use of conventional, smooth and flat material panels. Another object of the present invention is to provide a decorative visor assembly which is specifically structured and configured to direct the forces created therein, as a result of inflation, in precise and defined directions, in order to provide an improved, effective, three-dimensional configuration. attractive It is also an object of the present invention to provide a decorative visor assembly, which can be configured in an effective and convenient way, so as to define integrally a posterior securing region that effectively couples the improved visor assembly around the user's head. A further object of the present invention is to provide a decorative visor assembly, which can be used in the form adjustable by the user, which does not yet require the incorporation of an elastic material specifically to provide that adjustable shape. These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the claims and the accompanying detailed description.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Modality Shown through the figures, the present invention is directed to a decorative visor assembly, generally indicated 10. In particular, the decorative visor assembly 10 is structured for use on the user's forehead, preferably in a manner that provides shade and covers above the user's eyes. Also, the decorative visor assembly 10 includes a first panel of material 20, generally planar, and a second panel of material 22, also generally planar. In the preferred embodiment, the material panels, 20 and 22, are formed of an elastic, yet flexible material, such as the plastic material usually sold under the MYLAR® trademark. Similarly, the first and second material panels, 20 and 22, may be provided in any of a number of different colors and / or reflective appearances, and may also be provided with decorative indexes thereon, in order to substantially increase the attractive appearance of the material. 10 set of decorative visor. Additionally, the decorative visor assembly 10 of the present invention includes a seal assembly. This seal assembly is preferably denoted by a plurality of thermal seals, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 34, 35 and 37, which are preferably formed directly between the first and second material panels, 20 and 22. Of course, it will be understood that the seals, which comprise the seal assembly, may be adhesive seals or may incorporate segments of additional materials, which extend between the first and second material panels, 20 and 22. However, still , as indicated in the preferred embodiment, includes a heat seal directly between the first and second material panels, 20 and 22, thus providing substantial manufacturing ease and also providing the most effective and focused distribution of forces, as will be discussed later. Further noting the seal assembly, it includes at least one perimeter seal, 26 and 27, structured to define a primary chamber 25, as illustrated in Figure 1, between the first and second material panels, 20 and 22. In Actually, the perimeter seals, 26 and 27, are preferably arranged around a perimeter edge of the first and second panels of material, 20 and 22, thus minimizing an interior dimension of the primary chamber 25, defined between them. However, of course, the first and second panels of material, 20 and 22, may extend beyond the perimeter seals 26 and 27, if overlap of the decorative material is desired. In order to define the primary chamber 25 such that it receives a quantity of fluid, such as preferably air, the perimeter seals, 26 and 27, are preferably substantially impervious to the fluid. As a result, as the primary chamber 25 is inflated, the air is contained therein in order to maintain an inflated, defined shape of the visor assembly. Also, in order to allow the selective flow of fluid within and preferably outside the primary chamber 28, the decorative visor assembly further includes a valve element 70. Specifically, this valve element 70, which can include any of a number of conventional valve-like configurations, preferably includes a self-sealing valve, such as can conventionally be used in a balloon or similar inflated object. Such a self-sealing valve is structured to open when blowing air through it or preferably into the introduction of an inflation tube through and beyond a valve seal point and into the primary chamber 25. Therefore , through the valve element 70, the air is introduced and / or removed from the primary chamber 25, thus defining an inflation orientation of the visor assembly 10, in which a three-dimensional, attractive and ornamental design is provided, or a deflated orientation of a primary chamber 25, where the visor assembly includes a substantially flat configuration, which can be conveniently folded and stored. The seal assembly further includes a plurality of interior seals. The inner seals, which are also preferably thermal seals, formed directly between the first and second panels of material, 20 and 22, and may incorporate all or part of the perimeter seals, are arranged to attach the first panel 20 of material to the second. panel 22 of material, so that upon inflating the primary chamber 25, an inflation force is accurately and selectively translated through the first and second panels of material, in order to define a forward shading region 40 and preferably a posterior securing region 50. In particular, as the primary chamber 25 is inflated, the first and second material panels, 20 and 22, tend to be pushed away from each other. As a result of the specific placement of the inner seals, only a certain degree of separation can be achieved between the first and second panels of material through the visor assembly. Also, due to the specific and precise placement of the inner seals, as continuous inflation is achieved, the pressure to the outside or force exerted on the first and second panels of material, 20 and 22, by air, which It has been introduced and now keeps the visor set in an inflated orientation, it is moved through the first and second panels of material, which pull away from some of the seals and towards other seals. It is this particular configuration and orientation of the inner seals that enables and improves the achievement of the three-dimensional ornamental configuration by the visor assembly 10, and also that functions to define the lower shadow region 40, the posterior securing region 50 and , as will be described later, a region 60 that preferably depends upwards. Looking specifically at the rear securing region 50, it is structured to be coupled, at least partially, around the user's head, thus maintaining the visor assembly 10 appropriately positioned on the user. Also, the rear securing region 50 is structured so that it is mated around the user's head and extends the front shadow region 40 to the outside, in a generally perpendicular orientation, from the user's head, thus placing the front shadow region 40 in a shadow supply relationship over the user's eyes. Looking at Figures 1, 2 and 3, a first embodiment of the posterior securing region, 50, is shown. In particular, this first embodiment of the rear securing region 50 includes a pair of extension segments 51 and 52, which are structured to extend along opposite sides of the user's head. Likewise, the inner seals 27, which define the rear securing region 50, are structured and arranged in such a way as to generally orient the extension segments, 51 and 52, mutually, in the inflation of the primary chamber 25 and the corresponding transfer of the force of the inflation in the first and second material panels, 20 and 22. Specifically, the extension segments, 51 and 52, preferably provide a generally arched configuration when inflated, and although they have no orientation tendencies when the visor assembly 10 is in a deflated orientation, in the primary chamber 25 being inflated in its inflated orientation, the tension and outward forces exerted by the filling air of the primary chamber 25, operate to orient the extension segments, 51 and 52, mutually, due to the precious configuration of the inner seals 27. Likewise, to further promote the general orientation of the segments, 51, and 52, of mutually extending, it is preferred that the forward region of the extension segments, which are generally adjacent to the shadow region 40 forward, is generally wider than the posterior region of the extension segments. It will be seen that this width is translated in a larger versus smaller cross section diameter when the primary chamber 25 is inflated. As such, it is seen that in this first embodiment of the rear securing region 50, the visor assembly, 10 and 10 ', is effectively held in the user's head without requiring any other fastening assembly, such as an elastic band. Turning now to Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7, an alternative embodiment of the rear securing region 50 'is shown. This alternative posterior securing region 50 'also includes a pair of extension segments, 61' and 52 ', which are structured to extend along opposite sides of the user's head, in order to maintain the assembly 10" In this embodiment, however, the extension segments 51 'and 52' of the rear securing region 50 'are structured to be coupled together.
You will understand that users with different dimensions of head can choose the use of a set 10"visor particular, and the posterior securing region 50 * of the O present invention is structured to have a Elastic configuration that allows for adjustable positioning and the secure coupling of the extension segments, 51 'and 52 'around heads of various sizes. In particular, when it is in a deflated orientation, the normal characteristics of the first and second panels, 20 and 22, of material result in the extension segments, 51 'and 52', are completely inelastic. Nevertheless, due to the precise and specific placement of the stamps interiors 37, which define the extension segments 51 'and 52 ', an elastic configuration is defined in the segments of extension 51 'and 52'. Specifically, the stamps interiors 37 are preferably arranged in a relationship spaced, generally aligned, with each other, and thus define a series of cameras spaced within the segments of extension 51 'and 52'. Also, due to the placement of Seals in mutual relation, in the inflation of the chambers interconnected between the seals 37, the general elastic configuration of the extension segments 511 and 52 is achieved. For example, it is seen that due to the placement of the inner seals 37, as the connected chambers become full, a general contraction of the extension segments 51 'and 52' is achieved. However, still, as the tension is applied to the ends of the extension segments 51 'and 52', the air is effectively displaced through the connected chambers, in order to allow stretching of the extension segments 51 '. and 52 'in a larger configuration. As a result, a tight and secure fit is maintained by the extension segments, 51 'and 52', around the user's head. In order to fit the extension segments, 51 'and 52', to each other and to maintain the visor assembly 10"on the wearer's head, fastener elemeare supplied While the fastener elememay include a number of different configurations, such as a pressurized fastener, of adhesive, of hook and loop fastener cushion, or cord, in the preferred embodiment of the figures, the fastener element includes a first fastener element 57 disposed in one of the extension segme52 'and a second fastener element 56, arranged in the opposite direction to the extension segme51 'In particular, the first and second fastener eleme 56 and 57, are structured to be correspondingly interconnected with each other, so as to maintain the visor assembly 10 securely placed on the wearer's head. , in the preferred embodiment, the first fastener element 57 includes one or more openings 58 therein defined, Correspondingly, the second fastener element 56 includes a confi enlarged guration, structured to extend through a corresponding opening 58 of the first fastener element 57. In the embodiment shown, the second fastener element 58 includes an enlarged arrow-like configuration. Although when deflating the substantially non-rigid configuration of the second fastener element 56 does not function to prevent its removal from the corresponding opening 58 of the first fastener element 57, when inflated, a generally rigid feature is provided in the second fastener element 56. Due to the configuration, generally in an arrow, of the second fastening element 56, is able to pass through the opening 58 in the first fastening element 57, compressing slightly to allow introduction through the opening 58. However, once the second fastener element 56 extends completely through the opening 58, its enlarged back portion resists removal and disengagement of the fastener element. In fact, the affirmative compression of the second fastener element 56 is generally required in order to provide effective removal from the opening 58 of the first fastener element 57. As a result, the integral and effective configuration of the fastener element can be provided with the assembly 10. The visor of the present invention, with the rear securing region 50 ', achieves an adjustable and secure assembly It will also be noted, as illustrated in Figure 8, that the rear securing region 50"may include a pair of segmeof extension 51"and 52", for a flexible material, such as the material of the panels in an unsealed form. Also, as in Figure 9, one or more elastic strips 51 '' 'can be used to define the rear securing region 50' ''.
It will also be noted that the inner seals provided in the set 10 of the decorative visor of the present invention, in addition to defining the front shadow region 40, the rear securing region 50, and the upwardly dependent central region 60, also they function to supply and define specific ornamental shapes and configurations in the visor assembly 10. For example, the decorative patterns and the three-dimensional array can be effectively achieved by using the inner seals to define a plurality of inner chambers within the primary chamber 25. As previously indicated, although the visor assembly of the present invention can merely include a front shadow region 40 and a rear securing region 50, as illustrated in Figure 3, in the preferred embodiment, the inner stamps further define a central region 60 that is upwardly dependent. In particular, this central region 60, which depends upwards, which is structured to provide an improved visor configuration and also provide a decorative ornament of the visor assembly 10, is defined by the interior seals that are placed so that when inflate the primary chamber 25, the inflating force that travels through the first and second panels 20 and 22 of material causes the upwardly dependent region 60 to extend upwardly out of the plane of the front shadow region 40, and preferably in a generally perpendicular orientation. In the preferred embodiment, the inner seals 28 are provided to essentially separate the region 60, which depends upwards, from the front shadow region 40, thus preventing the forces translated through the first and second panels of material in the region. 60 that depends upwards, are isolated and focused to extend this region 60 that depends upwards out of the plane of the front shadow region 40. Also, it is preferred that the inner seals define a segment 30 of force focus. This force focus segment 30 is preferably aligned vertically and centrally oriented within the eye assembly, and is structured to extend into a plurality of forces translated through the first and second panels, 20 and 22, of material, with the In order to push the region 60, which depends upwards, out of the plane of the front shadow region 40, when the primary chamber is inflated. For example, as illustrated in Figure 21, the inner seals 32, 34 and 35 are all directed toward the force focus segment 30. As a result, when the primary chamber 25 is inflated, a contraction of forces towards the force focus segment 30 is achieved and the contraction and upward extension of the upwardly dependent region 60 is obtained. This is similar to the case in Figure 6, where the inner seals, 32 and 34, are directed towards segment 30 of force focus. Additionally, as indicated, it is preferred that the segment 30 of the force focus be aligned vertically and centrally within the visor assembly 10, essentially defining a central vertical e e of the visor assembly. Likewise, in the preferred embodiment, the left and right sides of the visor assembly 10, with respect to an axis defined by the segment 30 of the force focus, are completely symmetrical with each other, thus maintaining the proper alignments and orientation of the forces, once the primary chamber 25 is inflated and the tension is exerted on the first and second panels, 20 and 22, of material, as directed by the inner seals. It should also be noted that, as illustrated in Figure 7, the segment of the force focus may include an inner channel 31 defined by at least two seals 30 ', spaced, generally parallel. In addition to the ornamental appearance, generally attractive, provided by the region 60 that depends upwards, in the preferred embodiment, this region 60 also includes a central display area 62. This central display area 62 is structured and arranged to receive decorative patterns arranged therein and thus provide a region centrally arranged and clearly visible for the ornamental display of logos, designs and other signs. Finally, it will be noted that, as indicated, the inner seals are placed in order in order to maintain symmetry about the central vertical axis of the visor assembly. Also, the symmetry and placement of the seals is such that the complete reversible shape of the visor assembly can be achieved, thereby providing multiple decorative appearances merely by varying the ornamental signs and / or the manner in which the olO set is placed. of visor on the user's head. Since many modifications, variations and changes in the details can be made in the preferred embodiment described of the invention, it is intended that all the material in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings, be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense . Thus, the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
