An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a textile substrate is obtained, and a thermal regulation composition is applied to a surface of the textile substrate at a first temperature and a first pressure to form a coated textile substrate. The coated textile substrate is dried to form a thermal regulation membrane disposed on the surface of the textile substrate, and the textile substrate with the thermal regulation membrane is compressed at a second pressure and a second temperature to position a portion of the thermal regulation membrane below the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate is incorporated into an article of apparel. The thermal regulation composition can include one or more system reactive components provided within a binder, where a system reactive components can include a cooling agent, a latent heat agent and/or a heat dissipation agent.

The present invention comprises a radiation blocking clothing material utilized to construct articles of clothing such as but not limited to undergarments. The radiation blocking clothing material includes a first thread fiber, a second thread fiber and a third thread fiber constructed in a double sided knit structure. The double-sided knit structure promotes the material of the first thread fiber and second thread fiber to be on one side of the body of the radiation blocking clothing. The first thread fiber is a 84 D DTY silver fiber and the second thread fiber is a 90D DTY silver thread fiber and the conductive silver functions to block radiation having Faraday properties. The third thread fiber is manufactured from a cotton or a cotton blend. The composition of the body is operable to include a range of silver content within the range of 48 to 62 percent.

Undergarments are worn beneath other clothing articles and have direct contact to human skin and vital body organs. The rationale behind the development of this invention is to minimize electromagnetic fields/frequency (EMF); electromagnetic radiation (EMR); and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) while managing moisture production within the same. Multiple textile barrier linings will serve as blocking measures to minimize the hazardous effects linked to various EMR/EMF emitting exposure as well as introduce moisture and absorption properties. In addition, this invention will address the problems with existing products and EMF/EMR protectors that are described as heavy, uncomfortable, and expensive to process. Furthermore, this invention will serve a three-tier purpose in aiding the consumer in the first layer of protection for their genital and upper body torso, while providing a barrier from radiated EMF/EMR energy, as well as offer a composition to eliminate the production of moisture and bacteria through additional blocking features.

A nose mountable sunlight blocking assembly includes a panel that has a front side, a back side and a perimeter edge. The panel is comprised of a flexible material and is opaque such that the panel blocks UV radiation. An adhesive is positioned on and covers the back side of the panel. The panel is positioned on and covers an exposed upper surface of a nose such that at least 90% of the upper surface of the nose is covered by the panel.

The present disclosure relates to a garment for blocking exposure of a subject to harmful solar irradiation while simultaneously permitting exposure of the subject to beneficial solar irradiation. The garment includes a fabric layer including a dual purpose material composition that, by itself, blocks harmful solar irradiation while simultaneously permitting beneficial solar irradiation to an area of skin of a subject covered by the fabric layer when exposed to solar light, where the harmful solar irradiation comprises ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB), and/or high-energy visible (HEV) light, and where the beneficial solar irradiation comprises visible (VIS) and/or infrared (IR) light. The present disclosure also relates to methods of using and making the garment, as well as a protective covering made from the dual purpose material composition fabric layer.

A protective lens stack comprises a base layer including a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film containing a UV blocking additive and one or more removable lens layers stacked on top of the base layer. Each of the removable lens layers may include a PET film and a first adhesive disposed on a bottom surface of the PET film. Refractive indices of the base layer and the one or more removable lens layers may be matched to within 0.2. Each layer of the protective lens stack, including the base layer and each of the removable lens layer(s), may have less than 0.5% haze. The protective lens stack may be used as a face shield or may be surface mountable using a second adhesive disposed on a bottom surface of the PET film containing the UV blocking additive.

The present invention relates to novel bis-indolylmethanes, a process for their preparation and their use in the preparation of technical textiles and PPE's (Personal Protective Equipments), namely in the preparation of UV-protective and anti-infective textiles and garments.

A sun blocking assembly includes a sleeve that is selectively worn on an arm. The sleeve is elongated to extend between a crown of a shoulder and a wrist. The sleeve is comprised of an opaque material to block sunlight thereby inhibiting the sunlight from burning the arm. A drawstring is slidably coupled to the sleeve to tighten the sleeve on the arm. A first elastic member is coupled to the sleeve to tighten the sleeve on the arm. A glove is provided and the glove is selectively worn on a hand. The glove is comprised of an opaque material to block sunlight thereby inhibiting the sunlight from burning the hand.

A device for providing solar and ultraviolet radiation protection to facial skin. The device has a configuration at a high level of abstraction that resembles eye glasses. The device is comprised of symmetrical halves. In one embodiment, each of the symmetrical halves is comprised of a noise bridge having a flexible and resilient vertex and extension arms, a cheek shield and a temple arm.

A protective skin shields system that is mounted to eyeglasses worn by a user. The major components are a means for mounting, an interconnected and shields. The invention solves technological problems, inter alia, of bilaterally protecting the cheek, temple and forehead region of a user's face from harmful sun radiation without the use of hats, skirts, blockers and/or chemicals.
