UNITED ST ATE-S BETH L LEIBSON, orsr. tours, ivrrsso m {sun vrsoa.
a lication mea narch s, 1927. Serial No. 173,866.
My invention relates to improvements in sun visors and has for its primary object a sun visor which is intended to take the place of a cap and which is'so constructed that, while the head will be perfectly ventilated and exposed to the atmosphere, the eyes of the wearer will be shadedyandthe :forehead of the wearer will be protected against sunburn.
A further object is'to construct a device to take the place of acap in whichthe head *of the wearer will be'exposed tothe atmosphere and which 'isprovided with a "permanently fixed eyeshad'eoi visor and with arpivotally and detachably mounted visor so that the last mentioned visorca'n be utilized both for protecting the back of the neck of the wearer or to protect the forehead of the wearer.
A still-further object is to construct a sun visor in which a double visor is provided, the second visor being detachably and pivotally secured in position so that both visors can be made to overla and the wearer of the device may have elther a long or short visor for protecting his eyes.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my device showing the same with the visors in opposite ositions in solid lines, and one of the visors in position to protect the forehead of the wearer against sun-burn.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my device with both visors overlapping each other so as to create a longer visor; and
Fig. 3 is a fragmental view of the straps which fit over the head of the wearer illustrating the sliding adjustment necessary for various shaped heads, and
Fig. 4 is an enlarged section taken on the line 44 of Fig. 1.
In the construction of my device I employ a band 4 which is preferably made of celluloid or similar material and which has its edges provided with a binding 5. This bind ing is secured by means of stitching or similar fastening means although adhesive may be employed, if desired.
The band 4 has its ends 6 and 7 unattached to each other and between these ends a strip of elastic material 8 extends so that the band can expand and adjust itself to various head sizes. Carried by the band 4 are members 9, 10 and 11 which are arranged as illustrated in Fig, 2 and which prevent or limit the downward movement of the band 4. The member 11 is provided with a slot 12 through sunrays passing therethrough will not blind the wearer.
The visor 13 is preferably provided with a binding 14 which not onlyeliminates rough edges but also serves as a stiffening memher. The band 4 is provided with one portionofa glove fastener which is adapted. to receive the complementary portion 15 of said fastener. This complementary portion is secured in a band 16 which is provided with a binding 17; The band 16 carries a visor 18 which has its edges protected by a binding 19. The visor 18 being of greater width than the visor 13 as illustrated in Fig. 2, the purpose of which will be hereinafter described.
It will be understood by reason of the glove or snap fastening employed that the visor 18 is pivotally mounted so that it can be swung into the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2 and when in this position will protect the forehead of the wearer against sun-burn, and by reason of the glove fasteners 1t 1s also possible to entirely CllS connect the VlSOI' 18 and wear my device till without it or, in the event that additional 1 shading of the eyes is desired, the visor 18 can be laced in the position indicated in Fi 2 t ms giving a longer visor.
1 y purpose in slotting the member 11 and passing the members 9 and 10 therethrough is to permit the same to readily adjust themselves to various head shapes as I have found that, where these members were secured together by means of a rivet or the like, undue strains were set up and these members or straps would not readily adjust themselves to accommodate head shapes.
I am aware that sun visors have been on the market which were provided with straps fitting over the head, a strap surrounding the head and with an eye shade. However there were serious objections to these devices because there was no adjustability of the traps which extended over the head to conform to various head shapes. There was no resiliency in the band which fitted around the head of the wearer.
Furthermore there was no way of protecting the forehead of a wearer against sunburn, that is, that portion of the forehead above the band 4, and again there was no way in which the back of the neck of the wearer could be protected against sun-burn. This last mentioned feature has been specially stressed by golfers because they wanted a device which was cool and which would not only protect their eyes against the glare of the sun but also protect the back of the neck against sun-burn. With my device all of these requirements are met, as well as affording, in certain instances, protection against sun-bnrn on the forehead.
Another important feature of my structure is that my device can be easily used in the driving of automobiles and is especially useful either early in the morning or late at night when driving directly toward the sun because by reason of being able to lengthen the visor by means of the glove fastenerconnection, I am enabled to shade the eyes of the driver and to prevent him from being blinded by the sun. In short my device em- 2 bodies a sun visor to take the place of a cap ment of said head band, a visor secured to said band, a second band of less length than said first mentioned band, a visor secured to said second mentioned band, and fastening devices carried by said first mentioned band and the ends of the second mentioned band for detachably securing said bands together whereby the visor carried by the second mentioned band can be secured in various positionson said first mentioned band.
In testimony whereof I have aliixed my signature. i
SHANE ETHEL LEIBSON.
