DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to an arrangement for headgear which at least exhibits a sum visor on its front.
It is normally tiring for a person to hold up a pair of binoculars for a long period, for example at sporting events such as tennis, football and horse races, or at musical performances such as pop concerts, irrespective of the weight of the binoculars and the fact that it may be difficult to coordinate movements between the user's head and hands in order rapidly and precisely to obtain the desired view through the binoculars.
The principal object of the present invention is thus, inter alia, in the first instance to solve said problems by simple but efficient means, and in so doing at the same time to permit mass production in order to present a certain message, such as advertising or information, on the items of headgear in question.
Said object is achieved by means of an arrangement in accordance with the present invention, which is characterized essentially in that a pair of binoculars is detachably attached to the visor by attachment means in such a way as to be supported on the underside of the visor in the area in front of the user's eyes.
The invention is described below as a number of preferred illustrative embodiments, in conjunction with which reference is made to the drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1-5 show a first illustrative embodiment of the invention, where
FIG. 1 shows the invention being worn by a person;
FIG. 2 shows a side view of a person with a pair of binoculars supported on an item of headgear;
FIG. 3 shows an item of headgear viewed from below and without any binoculars attached thereto;
FIG. 4 shows a preferred pair of binoculars in perspective, viewed at an angle from the rear;
FIG. 5 shows the binoculars in a collapsed state;
FIGS. 6-8 show a second illustrative embodiment of the invention, where
FIG. 6 shows the invention being worn by a person;
FIG. 7 shows an exploded view of the invention;
FIG. 8 shows the invention in the assembled, attached position viewed at an angle from below;
FIG. 9 shows a third illustrative embodiment of the invention.
An item of headgear 1, preferably consisting of a cap or similar, which has a bowl-shaped part 2 covering the head 3 of a person wearing the cap, etc., and a sum visor 4 on its front 1A, but which can also consist of some other headgear of the kind intended, which is nevertheless subject to the requirement that it shall at least exhibit a sun visor of this kind on the front of the headgear, for example resembling a banker's visor, is part of an arrangement 5 in accordance with the present invention. Said arrangement 5 involves the provision on the underside 6 of the visor of attachment devices 7 of an appropriate kind which permit the detachable connection of a pair of binoculars 8 to said headgear 1. The attachment device 7 in question is so arranged as to interact with a complementary attachment element 9, which is capable of application to a pair of binoculars 8 of said kind intended to be capable of connection as required to the headgear 1 for the purpose of permitting the detachable support of the binoculars 8 on the underside 6 of the visor in an area 10 in front of the wearer's eyes 11.
Said attachment device and attachment element appropriately consist of a so-called `Velcro` fastener 7 and 9, preferably in the form of `Velcro` strip or similar. Said strips, etc., 7, 9, are attached in such a way to the visor 4 and the binoculars 8 as to extend across same.
An appropriate pair of binoculars 8 to be supported by a visor 4 without the visor 4 being caused to bend downwards excessively, or without the cap 1 falling from the person, is a pair of binoculars 8 of a kind which is made of cardboard for some other sheet material with appropriately attached lenses, etc., 12, 13, and which is capable of being folded from an unfolded binocular position I, for example as shown in FIG. 4, and a collapsed storage position II, for example as shown in FIG. 5. A `Velcro` strip 9 can thus be attached to upper surface 14 of the binoculars 8 in
