Double Visor
Abstract
The double visor hat reduces exposure to sun like many other
hats but is unique in that it provides additional ventilation for
maximal air circulation. This additional ventilation helps the
wearer of the hat remain cooler in direct sunlight as compared to
other hats. The hat achieves this additional ventilation without
added sun exposure by a design that includes multiple visors that
are staggered in such a way as to block sunlight but still allow
for the significant ventilation.

Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] Not Applicable.
STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT
[0002] Not Applicable.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0003] The present disclosure generally relates to head protecting
devices and more particularly to a hat having a plurality of visors
for protecting head from direct exposure to sunlight and to enhance
airflow of a wearer's head.
DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART
[0004] A wide variety of head protecting devices are available for
protecting the head. Hats are commonly utilized for protecting head
from direct exposure to sunlight, rain and injuries. Hats are made
of different types of materials like hard plastic, jute, fur,
cotton and steel based on its functionality. Hats help to protect
eyes and face from direct sunlight and make the person stay cool
and protected. Nowadays hats are worn as a fashion accessory and
are available in various sizes and shapes based on its purpose.
[0005] Normally hats cover the head tightly that causes sweat to
accumulate in the head providing discomfort for the wearer. Various
challenges have been made to make hats more comfortable through
allowing air circulation of the wearer's head. One such hat is
formed with a plurality of holes in the crown so that a portion of
the wearer's head enclosed by the hat can be exposed, which allows
the evaporation of the sweat in the wearer's head to the
atmosphere. Another conventional head covering is provided with an
air passage on the inside. However, these head coverings are
commonly made of heavy materials, and therefore are not suitable
for casual wearing.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a hat that protects head from
direct exposure to sunlight and to provide better airflow to the
head. Such a head protecting device would be designed to wrap
around the head to provide more protection from sunlight. Moreover,
such a head protecting device would exhibit large air gap between
head protecting membranes thereby exposing head to airflow. The
present embodiment overcomes the existing shortcomings in this area
by accomplishing these critical objectives.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0007] The present embodiment is a head protecting device for
protecting the head from direct exposure to sunlight and provides
better airflow to the head. The head protecting device includes a
plurality of head covering members, each of the plurality of head
covering members includes a frame attached with a visor. Each of
the plurality of head covering members is connected with each other
utilizing a plurality of attachment members. A protective membrane
is connected with the plurality of head covering members to provide
protection to the head.
[0008] While using this head covering device the accumulated sweat
gets evaporated from the head due to better air circulation thereby
helping the person wearing the hat to stay cool from sunlight. The
visor in the head covering member protects the face and eyes from
direct sunlight exposure thereby providing a clear view and
protection for the person who stands in sunlight.
[0009] Other features and advantages of the present invention will
become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken
in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by
way of example, the principles of the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0010] Elements in the figures have not necessarily been drawn to
scale in order to enhance their clarity and improve understanding
of these various elements and embodiments of the invention.
Furthermore, elements that are known to be common and well
understood to those in the industry are not depicted in order to
provide a clear view of the various embodiments of the invention,
thus the drawings are generalized in form in the interest of
clarity and conciseness.
[0011] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of
the present invention, illustrating a head protecting device
attached with a protective membrane;
[0012] FIG. 2 is a front view of the preferred embodiment of the
present invention, illustrating the head protecting device attached
with a plurality of head covering members; and
[0013] FIG. 3 is a side perspective view of the preferred
embodiment, illustrating the plurality of head covering members
being connected with each other utilizing a plurality of attachment
members of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0014] The following describes example embodiments in which the
present invention may be practiced. This invention, however, may be
embodied in many different ways, and the description provided
herein should not be construed as limiting in any way.
[0015] In this document, the terms "a" or "an" are used, as is
common in patent documents, to include one or more than one. In
this document, the term "or" is used to refer to a nonexclusive
"or," such that "A or B" includes "A but not B," "B but not A," and
"A and B," unless otherwise indicated. Furthermore, all
publications, patents, and patent documents referred to in this
document are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, as
though individually incorporated by reference. In the event of
inconsistent usages between this document and those documents so
incorporated by reference, the usage in the incorporated
reference(s) should be considered supplementary to that of this
document; for irreconcilable inconsistencies, the usage in this
document controls.
[0016] Various inventive features are described below that can each
be used independently of one another or in combination with other
features. However, any single inventive feature may not address any
of the problems discussed above or only address one of the problems
discussed above. Further, one or more of the problems discussed
above may not be fully addressed by any of the features described
below.
[0017] FIGS. 1 through 3 illustrate a head protecting device 10 to
protect head from direct exposure to sunlight and to provide better
airflow to the head. The head protecting device 10 includes a
plurality of head covering members 20, each includes a frame 30
attached with a visor 40, each of the plurality of head covering
members 20 being connected with each other utilizing a plurality of
attachment members 50 thereby creating a plurality of airflow gaps
60 between each of the plurality of head covering members 20. A
protective membrane 70 is connected with the plurality of head
covering members 20 to provide protection to the head. In the
preferred embodiment, each of the plurality of head covering
members 20 is arranged in such a way that a large air gap exists in
between the plurality of head covering members 20 thereby creating
a plurality of airflow gaps 60 for providing better airflow
circulation to head.
[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 through 3, each of the plurality of head
covering members 20 being connected with each other utilizing a
plurality of attachment members 50. Preferably head protecting
device 10 is used for protecting head from direct exposure to
sunlight, rain and injuries. Typically hats cover the head tightly
causing sweat to accumulate without evaporating thereby providing
discomfort for the wearer. One of the head covering members 20 that
wraps around the head provides more protection from sunlight. The
head protecting device 10 allows for better air flow to the head
and helps the wearer to stay cool. In the preferred embodiment,
more number of head covering members 20 can be attached
additionally. In other embodiments, the protective member may be
uniformly or seamlessly integrated into the visor to appear as one
piece.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 1 the protective membrane 70 is connected
with the plurality of head covering members 20 to provide
protection to the head. The visor 40 in the plurality of head
covering members 20 protects the face and eyes from direct sunlight
thereby provides a clear view and protection for the person who
stands in sunlight.
[0020] While a particular form of the invention has been
illustrated and described, it will be apparent that various
modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and
scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is not intended that the
invention be limited, except as by the appended claims.
