Adjustable visor for hats and visors

Abstract

The shading devices provided within hats and visors currently on the market are limited when the sun is at lower angles from the viewers eyes.

The purpose of this adjustable visor is to provide the user with additional shading that off-the-shelf hats or visors do not currently offer.

The adjustable visor extends as needed td provide the user with additional shading and retracts when additional shading is no longer required.

The additional shading provided by the adjustable visor affords the user greater visibility while outdoors resulting in a more comfortable experience while in the sun.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] The Adjustable Visor would be made of semi-rigid opaque plastic material. Three (3) pieces make up the entire assembly, page 1 (FIG. 1). The sliding visor extension is sandwiched between the two (2) outer pieces that hold the entire assembly together, page 1 (FIG. 1) The visor extension is the only moving component, and can be extended manually by sliding the knob forwards and backwards, page 1 (FIG. 1). A manufacturer capable of working with plastic components would fabricate the Adjustable Visor. The Adjustable Visor will be fabricated to fit within your typical baseball type hats and visors. The addition of the Adjustable Visor to a hat or visor provides the user with additional 70% shading. The Adjustable Visor can be used by anyone who desires additional shading that is not provided by hats and visors currently in the market.
