Description
- The present application is a continuation of U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 11/386,358, filed Mar. 22, 2006, which claimed priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/664,530, filed Mar. 24, 2005, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates to headwear, such as a visor or cap. In particular, this invention relates to headwear with a binocular assembly.
- Binoculars are used in many different activities, such as spectator sports, concerts, and bird watching, to magnify a distant point. In sporting events held at large arenas, for example, spectators may be far away from players on the field. Accordingly, spectators often bring binoculars to more easily see the activities occurring on the field. Carrying the binoculars to the event, however, can be cumbersome and tiring. Moreover, a spectator may experience physical discomfort with the prolonged use of binoculars due to the muscular fatigue caused by raising arms his/her aims for an extended time.
- Binoculars mounted to the brim of a visor or cap have been devised. However, many of these designs include unsightly and complex mechanisms for attaching the binoculars to the brim. Additionally, the weight that the binoculars add to the brim can be bulky and cumbersome to wear.
- A headwear in accordance with one aspect of the invention comprises a headband portion, a brim portion, a lens receiving portion and a vision enhancing element operatively coupled with the lens receiving portion. The brim portion may be proximate to the headband portion. The lens receiving portion and brim portion may be formed as a single-piece unitary member.
- In some exemplary embodiments, the lens receiving portion and the brim portion are formed as a single piece of plastic. Embodiments are also contemplated in which the vision enhancing element is movable with respect to the lens receiving portion along a longitudinal axis of the lens receiving portion.
- Depending on the exigencies of a particular application, the lens receiving portion may be generally cylindrical in shape. In some such embodiments, the lens receiving portion may define an elongated hole that is dimensioned to receive the vision enhancing element. Typically, the lens receiving portion may extend below the brim portion. In some embodiments, a focus adjustment member may be provided. In such embodiments, the focus adjustment member may extend through the hole in the lens receiving portion. In many cases, the focus adjustment member may be engagable to move the vision enhancing element with respect to the lens receiving portion. For example the lens receiving portion may include a longitudinally extending groove through which at least a portion of the focus adjustment member extends.
- In other examples, the lens receiving portion may be a channel defined in the brim portion. For example, the channel may be dimensioned to receive at least a portion of a rim surrounding the vision enhancing element. Typically, the rim may include an extension that is received by the channel.
- According to a further aspect, the invention provides headwear comprising a brim portion pivotally coupled to a headband portion. The brim may move between a lowered position and a raised position. A binocular assembly may also be provided that is disposed below the brim portion. The headwear may be configured such that the binocular assembly is axially aligned with a user's eye when the brim portion is in the lowered position, but not in the raised position.
- In some examples, the binocular assembly comprises a pair of lens receiving members and a pair of magnifying lenses selectively attachable to the lens receiving members. Typically, the pair of lens receiving members and the brim portion are formed as a unitary member. For example, the pair of lens receiving members and the brim portion could be formed as a single piece of plastic.
- According to a further aspect, the invention provides a method of configuring headwear. The method may include the step of providing headwear including a headband portion, a brim portion extending from the headband portion and a lens receiving portion extending from the brim portion. The method may also include the step of providing a magnifying lens. Additionally, the method may include coupling the magnifying lens with the lens receiving portion. In some examples, the method may include moving the magnifying lens with respect to the lens receiving portion, such that the lens receiving portion is stationary with respect to the brim portion.
- Additional features and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of the illustrated embodiment exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived.

-
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a user wearing aheadwear 100. Although theexample headwear 100 shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 resembles a baseball cap, it should be appreciated thatheadwear 100 may resemble other types of hats, helmets, or other head coverings. Embodiments are also contemplated in whichheadwear 100 may not include a portion that covers the user's head. For example,headwear 100 may resemble a visor (as seen inFIG. 3 ). - In the example shown,
headwear 100 comprises aheadband portion 102, abrim portion 104 and abinocular assembly 106.Headband portion 102 encircles the head of the user. Optionally, acrown portion 107 may be integrally formed with and/or attached toheadband portion 102 to cover the user's head. In some embodiments,headband portion 102 may be formed entirely from plastic. Embodiments are also contemplated in whichheadband portion 102 may be formed from other materials, such as fabric, elastic material, or leather. It should be appreciated thatheadband portion 102 may be formed from a combination of plastic, fabric, elastic material, leather, or other materials. -
Brim portion 104 extends fromheadband portion 102 to shade the user's eyes and/or face.Brim portion 104 may be formed from various materials, such as plastic, fabric, leather, or a combination of materials. Any materials that may be used for the brim of a cap or visor may be suitable forbrim portion 104. As discussed below, at least a portion ofbinocular assembly 106 may be formed as a unitary member withbrim portion 104, Preferably,binocular assembly 106 magnifies a distant point when axially aligned with the user's eyes. However, the term “binocular assembly” is not intended to be limited to magnification, but refers to a vision enhancement for the user. For example,binocular assembly 106 may be configured for night vision, virtual reality, optical filtration, or sunglasses. In the example shown,binocular assembly 106 extends belowbrim portion 104. - In some embodiments,
brim portion 104 may be pivotally coupled toheadband portion 102, which allowsbrim portion 104 to move between a lowered position (FIG. 1 ) and a raised position (FIG. 2 ). In the lowered position,binocular assembly 106 is axially aligned with the user's eyes to provide a visual enhancement, such as magnifying player(s) on a sporting field. In the raised position,binocular assembly 106 is not axially aligned with the user's eyes. For example, the user may movebrim portion 104 to the raised position when looking at a person seated next to the user. - In the example shown,
brim portion 104 includes abrim extension 108 with apivot hole 110 that is dimensioned to receive aknob 112 onheadband portion 102. Although this pivotal connection is shown for purposes of example, it should be appreciated that other suitable pivotal connections may be used. For example, a rivet joint betweenbrim extension 108 andheadband portion 102 may provide a pivotal connection. - Embodiments are also contemplated without a pivotal connection between
brim portion 104 andheadband portion 102. For example,brim portion 104 andheadband portion 102 may be fixedly attached or formed as a unitary member. In such an embodiment, the user would removeheadwear 100 whenbinocular assembly 106 is not desired. - In the example shown,
brim portion 104 is linearly movable with respect to headband portion 102 (as indicated by arrows inFIG. 1 ), which allowsbinocular assembly 106 to be moved closer to or further away from the user's eyes. In an embodiment wherebinocular assembly 106 moves concomitant with movement ofbrim portion 104, for example, the user's linear movement ofbrim portion 104 with respect toheadband portion 102 also adjusts the distance betweenbinocular assembly 106 and the user's eyes. Although many suitable arrangements could be used for such a linear adjustment, the example shown provides anelongated pivot hole 110 that allows limited linear movement ofknob 112. Optionally, rails 114 may be formed onbrim extension 108 to aid in guiding linear movement of knob 112 (as best seen inFIG. 3 ). -
FIG. 3 shows an exploded view of anexample headwear 100. In this example,headwear 100 resembles a visor.Headwear 100 may include a locking mechanism that selectively fixes the angular position ofbrim portion 104 with respect toheadband portion 102. For example, the locking mechanism could be used to selectively positionbrim portion 104 in either the lowered position (FIG. 1 ) or raised position (FIG. 2 ). In the example shown,headband portion 102 includes alower groove 116 and anupper grove 118 which each are dimensioned to receive aridge 120 protruding from inner surface of brim extension 108 (as best seen inFIG. 5 ).Lower groove 116 andupper groove 118 are positioned onheadband portion 102 to correspond with lowered and raised position ofbrim portion 104, respectively.Lower groove 116 receivesridge 120 whenbrim portion 104 is in the lowered position whileupper groove 118 receivesridge 120 whenbrim portion 104 is in the upper position. It should be appreciated that other suitable locking mechanisms for selectively fixing the angular position ofbrim portion 104 with respect toheadband portion 102 could be used. For example, friction between a portion ofbrim portion 104 andheadband portion 102 may allow a user to select an angular position betweenbrim portion 104 andheadband portion 102. Embodiments are also contemplated in which hook and loop fasteners may be used as a locking mechanism. -
Headband portion 102 may include anadjustable member 122 to vary the diameter ofheadband portion 102, which allowsheadband portion 102 to accommodate various sizes of heads. Although an interlocking structure is shown for purposes of example, other headband adjustments could be used, such as hook and loop fasteners or buckle and straps. Other embodiments are contemplated in which at least a portion ofheadband portion 102 may include an elastic material to vary the diameter ofheadband portion 102. - In the example shown,
binocular assembly 106 comprises alens receiving portion 124 that is configured to receive a vision enhancing element, such as a magnifying lens. In some embodiments,lens receiving portion 124 may include a leftlens receiving member 130 and/or a rightlens receiving member 132. Eachlens receiving member Lens receiving members FIGS. 1 , 2, 3, 4, and 6. It should be appreciated, however, thatlens receiving members lens receiving portion 124 may include four lens receiving members in an embodiment with four magnifying lenses. By way of another example,lens receiving portion 124 may include a single lens receiving member in an embodiment with a single magnifying lens.Lens receiving members brim portion 104 so as to be axially aligned with the user's eyes. For example, leftlens receiving member 130 may be axially aligned with the user's left eye while rightlens receiving member 132 may be axially aligned with the user's right eye. -
Binocular assembly 106 may include aleft eye lens 134 andright eye lens 136. A leftobjective lens 138 and rightobjective lens 140 may also be included inbinocular assembly 106. In the example shown, left andright eye lenses lens receiving members eye lenses lens receiving members objective lenses members left eye lens 134 is axially aligned with leftobjective lens 138, whileright eye lens 136 is axially aligned with rightobjective lens 140. Embodiments are contemplated in whichbinocular assembly 106 may be assembled by insertingeye lenses lens receiving members objective lenses lens receiving members eye lenses objective lenses binocular assembly 106. For example, additional magnifying lenses may be provided to adjust magnification of a distant point. -
Objective lenses lenses FIG. 4 ). In the example shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 6, afocus adjustment member 142 is connected toobjective lenses Focus adjustment member 142 provides an engagement surface for a user to moveobjective lenses lenses focus adjustment member 142,lens receiving members longitudinal groove 144 through which focusadjustment member 142 extends. Astop 146 may be formed on an interior surface oflens receiving members lens receiving members objective lenses lens receiving members objective lenses lens receiving members 103, 132. -
Lens receiving portion 124 andbrim portion 104 may be formed as an unitary member.FIG. 6 shows an example in which rightlens receiving member 132 andbrim portion 104 are formed as a unitary member. This type of unitary construction may reduce manufacturing costs and/or reduce the weight ofbinocular assembly 106. For example, embodiments are contemplated in whichlens receiving portion 124 andbrim portion 104 are formed as a single piece of plastic. -
FIG. 7 shows an alternative embodiment oflens receiving portion 124 andbrim portion 104. In this example,lens receiving portion 124 compriseschannels 148 defined in bottom ofbrim portion 104. Arim 150 surrounding magnifyinglenses 152 includes anextension 154 that is received by achannel 148. Embodiments are contemplated in which achannel 148 may be formed for each magnifying lens. - Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to particular means, materials, and embodiments from the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of the present disclosure and various changes and modifications may be made to adapt the various uses and characteristics without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims.
