APPAREL AND/OR METHODS FOR COMBATING VIRUSES
A device for creating an air curtain protecting a human respiratory system is described. The device can be a hat and/or collar worn by a person and includes a constant or on demand flow of air that passes across a person's face to create an air curtain. The flow of air moving across the face blows airborne viruses away from a person's eyes, nose, and mouth. Another concept includes a glove that is outfitted with a device that purifies the glove. A battery could be mounted on a person's wrist or forearm with a small wire running down the glove. Likewise, the glove could be outfitted with UV light embedded on the surface or just underneath a permeable/top layer of the glove. Still further, the glove can carry electrical pulses aimed to kill viruses every ten seconds or so.
Helmet Goggle Designed for On-Road and Off-Road Use
A protective helmet for use with motorsports and cycling activities has a head receiving helmet body that includes a head receiving interior, and an exterior having a front surface, a rear surface, and a perimetral lip for defining a forward-facing aperture. A transparent shield member is engageable with the helmet body and is configured to be placeable adjacent to the forward-facing aperture of the helmet body. The shield member includes a perimetral edge that is sized and configured for engaging the perimetral lip of the helmet body. A strap is coupled to the shield and is configured to engage the rear surface of the helmet body. The engagement of the perimetral edge of the shield member with the perimetral lip of the helmet body enables an increasing force exerted against the shield to be exerted against the helmet, rather than directly against the user's face, and resists the intrusion of dust into the interior of the helmet.
Eyewear accessory
A patient safety shield, and its method of use, features a deflector shield that closes gaps between the bottom profile of safety eyewear worn by the patient and the patient's cheek area. The deflector shield, when positioned, oriented, and profiled across the bridge of the patients nose and under the patient's eyewear, deflects fine infectious and or injurious debris, which originates in the patient's oral cavity, from being ejected off moving parts of dental tools during a dental procedure. The deflection by the deflector shield prevents potentially infectious or injurious debris from reaching and harming the eyes of the patient that may enter through the bottom gaps.
PRESSURIZED GOGGLE FOR INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE MODIFICATION
Assemblies and methods for modifying an intraocular pressure of a patient's one or both eyes are disclosed. The assemblies and methods can be used to treat, inhibit, or prevent ocular conditions such as glaucoma, high intraocular pressure, optic disc edema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, zero-gravity induced papilledema, and other optic pressure related conditions. An assembly can include a goggle including at least one cavity, a pump in fluid communication with the at least one cavity, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism can be operatively coupled to the pump and can maintain a target pressure or target pressure range in the at least one cavity, which, when the assembly is worn by a patient, is the area between a patient's eye(s) and wall surfaces of the goggle. Controlling the pressure over the outer surfaces of the patient's eye(s) can drive a desired change in the intraocular pressure of the eye(s).
MAGNETIC SAFETY GLASSES
Safety glasses have two magnets located near temple arm hinges so that surfaces of both magnets become coplanar when the temple arm pieces close. The magnets provide two separated areas of coupling that allow the safety glasses to adhere to a surface and stay in place when jarring forces are present. The safety glasses can be stored on magnetically active surfaces or other surfaces with adaptive tabs and may be kept close to where they will be used and in a visible location as a safety reminder or safe location to protect the safety glasses.
GOGGLE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Goggles and eyewear with various features are described herein. Such goggles and eyewear may include lenses that allow for the installation of larger roll-off films, adjustable nose sections to increase comfort of a wearer, sweat management systems that include a permeable gasket and a gutter, lens attachment systems, and co-molded frames of multiple different materials.
Therapeutic Eyewear Sleeve
Therapeutic Eyewear patent introduces new functionality for the eyewear frame (prescription frames, sunglasses, goggles) —the delivery of CBD or other therapeutic medicine via infused pads located anywhere on the frame, primarily those parts of the frame in contact with the wearer's skin.
SMART PROTECTIVE FACE MASK
A protective face mask that includes a power source, ventilation mechanisms, filtering mechanisms, audio and video mechanisms, headphones, a lighting mechanism, a night vision mechanism, a visual zooming mechanism, protective eyewear, a head canopy, a thermometer, a DNA testing mechanism, virus detection mechanisms, radio communication technology, and fiber optics technology.
Pressurized goggle for intraocular pressure modification
Assemblies and methods for modifying an intraocular pressure of a patient's one or both eyes are disclosed. The assemblies and methods can be used to treat, inhibit, or prevent ocular conditions such as glaucoma, high intraocular pressure, optic disc edema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, zero-gravity induced papilledema, and other optic pressure related conditions. An assembly can include a goggle including at least one cavity, a pump in fluid communication with the at least one cavity, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism can be operatively coupled to the pump and can maintain a target pressure or target pressure range in the at least one cavity, which, when the assembly is worn by a patient, is the area between a patient's eye(s) and wall surfaces of the goggle. Controlling the pressure over the outer surfaces of the patient's eye(s) can drive a desired change in the intraocular pressure of the eye(s).
Visual field observation training lens
A visual field observation training lens is disclosed, along with corresponding training eyewear. An associated method for training visual observation toward a designated field of view is provided.
