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.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

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

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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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

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.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, illustrating a head protecting device attached with a protective membrane;

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

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Claims
