Protective headgear with improved shell construction

The protective helmet includes a rigid outer shell where the shell includes an undulating cross-sectional profile. A layer of impact-energy-absorbing material is positioned adjacent to the shell. The undulating profile of the shell can be any type of load spreading undulating profile, such as that of a sinusoidal or triangular wave configuration. The undulating load-spreading profile can be on the inner surface of the shell, on the outer surface of the shell or the entire cross-section of the shell may be undulating. The unique undulating profile makes the shell more rigid and spreads the impact load across the surface of the shell to thereby spread the deformation of the padding layer to prevent the shell from bottoming out of the impact-energy-absorbing material during an impact. As a result, a safer and more effective protective helmet is provided.

Method and apparatus for keeping a shirt collar aligned and fastened, magnetically

A method and apparatus for holding a shirt collar in a desired position and orientation, magnetically, against a shirt front. The apparatus includes a collar stay insertable into a conventional collar stay pocket or attachable to an inside surface of a collar, and a magnet magnetically attachable or couplable to the collar stay through the shirt front, and the pocket, if applicable, for holding the shirt collar in the selected position and orientation. The collar stay and the magnet can be optionally interlockable and / or include detents for preventing undesired relative movements thereof, which can include particularly, relative longitudinal movements, but which can also include twisting and sideward movements. For collars which do not include any collar stay pocket, or where a collar stay pocket is not desired to be used, the collar stay can include an adhesive on an outer surface thereof adapted for adhesive attachment to the inside surface of a collar.

Blanket for placement upon an infant secured in a seat and method of use

A blanket is placed upon an infant in a car seat. The blanket has contoured sleeves and an open back construction of the blanket, as well as stabilization means for securing the base section of the blanket onto an outer, exterior bottom portion of the seat. With these features, the blanket can be readily donned upon an infant that is buckled within a car safety seat without the need to adjust safety straps. The travel blanket includes a base section constructed with a base periphery integrated with the base stabilization means. Lateral sections of the travel blanket further include lateral perimeters appointed for aiding in securing the lateral sections over the infant, without wrapping the torso of the infant. Contoured arm sleeves provide enhanced safety to infants. The sleeves snuggly fit over the infant's wrists and do not have loose flowing material about the arms and wrists, which could present a suffocation risk. Construction of the travel blanket ensures a significant amount of coverage over the entire body of the infant that does not contribute to shifting, zero wrapping of the infant's body / torso, and minimal jostling of the infant when applied.

Method and apparatus for keeping a shirt collar aligned and secured, magnetically, against a shirt front, with a decorative collar link assembly

A method and apparatus for securing a shirt collar in a desired position and orientation, magnetically, against a shirt front, using a decorative collar link assembly. The decorative collar link apparatus is an assembly that includes a decorative cap assembled to a single base magnet thereby attachable to an outside surface of a shirt collar, aligned opposite a separate single magnet placed against the inside surface of a shirt, wherein the decorative collar link assembly on the outside of a shirt is magnetically attachable to the inside magnet through the shirt material, for securing the shirt collar in the selected position and orientation. There are no pins or other interlocking devices as the collar links are held in place strictly via opposing magnet forces of attraction. The decorative collar link cap surface can be any material, design pattern, insignia, logo, emblem, or finish that would be typically construed as visually appealing and thereby add to the fashionable sense of the aligned and magnetically secured shirt collar.

Shirt with cooling collar and cooling pockets

A shirt includes a collar with inner and outer layers forming ice pockets spaced around the collar. The pockets are for ice to cool the main blood vessels and spinal nerves in the neck of the wearer. In use, the collar is either in an upstanding closed position around the wearer's neck in a turtleneck fashion, or in a spread-open position if the closed collar is too warm or too cold. The shirt also includes ice pockets behind armpit locations where arteries are close to the skin. The shirt enhances the transfer of heat from the wearer to melt ice in the ice pockets, to warm the meltwater, and to evaporate the water.

Expandable, no-shrink shirt collar

A shirt collar having a stretchable neckband made of a woven fabric with at least some of the threads on a bias so that in the event the length of the threads shrinks there is only a negligible reduction in the circumferential size of the collar, and the collar is circumferentially stretchable. In one form of the invention the neckband is made of a non-elastomeric material with a plurality of holes in it which elongate when a circumferential force is applied, resulting in elongation of the neckband. In another form, the threads forming the neckband are kinked so that they are resiliently yieldable in a lengthwise direction. The stitching attaching the neckband to the collar and to the shirt body may be applied in a pattern, e.g., zig-zag or skip stitching, that enables the seams to stretch.

Apparatus for keeping a shirt collar aligned and fastened, magnetically

Apparatus for magnetically holding a shirt collar in a position and orientation on a shirt front, includes a collar stay attachable to a collar via adhesive or the like, or receivable in a pocket of the collar. The collar stay includes a material attractable by a magnet and can include at least a peripheral edge portion of a polymer material to protect adjacent shirt fabric. A magnet is positionable against an inside surface of the shirt front opposite the collar and is magnetically attachable to the collar stay through the shirt front, for holding the collar in a desired position and orientation. Suitable polymers include plastics and rubbery materials, and can be elastic so as to be stretchable over the stay. The stay can also be a laminate or composite of the material attractable by the magnet and the polymer, and can be bendable or foldable into a desired shape.

Method of producing collar stays from identification cards

The present invention comprises a method of using a punch for cutting one or more collar stays directly from an identification card. The punch includes a holding portion positioned on one side of the identification card and a die or blade portion aligned with the held identification card. The holding portion has a corresponding recess formed therein in the shape of a collar stay. When the punch is aligned with the recess in the holding portion and the two halves are brought together with an identification card therebetween, a collar stay is punched out of the identification card material. The identification card may be positioned such that the resultingly produced collar stay prominently displays a portion of the identification card logo (i.e. Visa®, Mastercard®, or the like), includes the security hologram, includes the name of the card holder, etc. In this way, the collar stay may be customized or made to have a pleasing design element.
