Description:
HEADGEAR WITH AIR-VENT AND SUNGLASSES TechnicalFleld The present invention relates to a ventilating headgear with air-vent in between visor and head part of the headgear. This air-vent opening provides air with pathway to go upward through the opening and reduces lifting power of wind and protects the headgear from being slipped off head when it blows hard or when the wearer runs, plays tennis, rides bicycles, and sails a yacht and so on.

In addition, this air-vent opening, which induces fresh air to face and causes convention current in front of face, pushes out the warm air on front of face caused by body heat upward through itself, promotes perspiration and gives fresh and good feelings to the wearer.

Background Art In the prior art, the visor of existing headgears shields the light and gives just shades to face, it easily slips off head when it blows hard and the wearer run or moves fast. It cannot induce fresh air to face, cause convection current in front of face, push out the warm air caused by body heat in front of face, and promote perspiration. It rather blocks the warm air and so gives unpleasant feeling to the wearer.

The present invention improved these demerits of the existing headgears and in addition, enables the wearer to easily put on and off sunglasses or other kinds of eye- protection glasses through the air-vent opening in between visor and head part of the headgear.

Disclosure of Invention The present invention is composed of the function of ventilating headgear itself and also sunglasses. It has air-vent to function as controller of warm air in front of face and to protect headgear from being slipped off, and enables wearer to easily pit on and off

sunglasses. It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a convenience to wearer in which the above problems of the existing headgears can be overcome.

The above object is accomplished by a ventilating headgear being characterized by having air-vent opening in between visor and head part of the headgear, which facilitates ventilation of the air flowed into the lower part of the visor differently from a existent headgear with dome-shaped headgear itself to cover the upper head part and sun- visor to shield sun light. ofDrawingsBriefDescription The features and advantages of the present invention willbe more described specifically in the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein: FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the ventilating headgear; FIG. 2 is a plan view of the ventilating headgear; FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of rotating lever of sunglasses; FIG. 4 is a functional view of rotating lever of sunglasses; FIG. 5 is a view of the ventilating headgear being worn; and FIG. 6 is a view of sunglasses mounted onto the ventilating headgear.

Best Mode-fbr Carrying Out theJnvention Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In explaining the present invention, the same names and reference numerals will be given to the same components, and explanations in the same will be omitted.

The present invention has air-vent opening 2 in between head part of the headgear and sun-visor 1 of which slope allows air to ventilate and also shields the sunlight. This structure enables outer air stream Wl to hit the outer slope of the sun-visor and ventilate upward and to push down the visor of headgear just like spoiler attached onto the rear part of a car so that it reduces the lifting power of air to protect the headgear

from being slipped off. In addition, it allows warm air heated by body heat derived from hard exercise or by hot temperature to ventilate through the air-vent opening, promotes perspiration to surpress upward tendency of body temperature, circulates air and induces fresh air to face, and provides pleasant space to wearer all the time.

This invention has, in addition to the above effects, rotating lever 11 fixed symmetrically onto right and left sides of the ventilating headgear and so allows wearer to easily attach and detach sunglasses of other kinds of eye-protection glasses to and from the headgear.

The insertion hole for the temples of sunglasses 4 is not wide as much as the diameter of temples of sunglasses 10 because of the tension of spring 6 and protrusion for close adherence 7. If the temples of sunglasses 10 are inserted into the insertion hole for the temples of sunglasses 4 by way of human power, the electric force of the spring 6 keeps them tight on one of the U-shaped grooves for insertion hole 5 (FIG. 4) so that the temples of sunglasses 10 are easily mounted into rotating lever 11.

Temples of sunglasses 10 are inserted into insertion hole for the temples of sunglasses 4, fixed to U-shaped grooves for insertion hole 5 owing to the elastic force of spring 6 and simply attached to rotating lever 11.

Temples of sunglasses 10 (FIG. 4) move from A+ to A-point by way of human power and then are fixed into U-shaped groove for insertion hole 5 owing to the elastic force of spring 6.

A FIG. 6 (sunglasses attached to the ventilating headgear) shows, sunglasses can be pulled down from A+ to A-point through air-vent opening 2 and be fixed to the point wearer wants, and vise versa.

The air-vent opening 2 functions as pathway for ventilation and also movement of temples of sunglasses.

Separate lens for sunglasses can be selected and purchased according to fashion trend, individual taste and usage and easily inserted into insertion hole for the temples of sunglasses 4. These sunglasses can be attached to helmet, headband for skiers and the like.

When washing headgear, temples of sunglasses 10 are easily detached from insertion hole

for the temples of sunglasses 4 to protect sunglasses from being broken.

This rotating lever 11 can also be mounted on helmet, headband etc. A variety of glasses such as eye-protection glasses, skiing goggles etc can be selected according to individual taste and usage and easily inserted into rotating lever in the same way as the ones for the ventilating headgear.

Although a number of embodiment have described in the above specification, it should be apparent that the present invention could be embodied in many other specific mode included within the sprit and scope of the present invention. Thus, the present embodiments should be considered as illustrative, and the present invention could be modified within the scope of claims and the equivalent thereof.

TheIndustrial-applicability The present invention provides fresh and pleasant feelings to wearer, protects headgear from being slipped off head owing to air-vent opening, which causes convection current and promotes fresh air-vent, and allows sunglasses to easily be detachably attached to headgear so that wearer can use it effectively for driving, leisure, sports and the like and even for eye-protection at work.
