Abstract
The present invention is a breath deflector apparatus and method of use. The apparatus comprises a breadth deflector preferably connected to a goggle frame, with the goggle frame being connected to an adjustable securement device that is adjustably connected to a preferably cold weather helmet. The breath deflector apparatus is preferably adjustable by twisting a knob mounted to the front of the helmet and is preferably adapted such that once adjusted, the breath deflector moves in synchronization or unison with the movement of a user's head within the helmet and thus prevents loss of securement and maladjustment of the breath deflector while using the breath deflector and during movement of the user's head.
Claims20
A breath deflector apparatus comprising a breath deflector, a goggle frame, a helmet, a cable, cable housings, a cable spool, and a cable adjustment knob, wherein said breath deflector is connected to said goggle frame, said goggle frame is connected to said cable, said cable housings are mounted to said helmet, said cable spool and said cable adjustment knob are rotatably mounted to said helmet, and said cable passes through said cable housings and around said cable spool such that when a user wears said helmet, rotation of said cable adjustment knob in a first direction causes said breath deflector to come into comfortably snug breath deflecting contact with said user and such that pulling of cable adjustment knob in a second direction causes said breath deflector to release from said comfortably snug breath deflecting contact with said user.
A breath deflector apparatus comprising a breath deflector, a helmet, a tether, a spool, and an adjustment knob, wherein said breath deflector is tethered to said helmet by said tether, and wherein said tether is rotatably engaged to said spool, and wherein said spool and said adjustment knob are rotatably mounted to said helmet and adapted such that rotation of said adjustment knob in a first direction causes a payout length of said tether to decrease and such that pulling said adjustment knob in a second direction causes a payout length of said tether to increase.
A breath deflector apparatus comprising a breath deflector, a tether, a spool, and an adjustment device, wherein said breath deflector is tethered to said spool by said tether, and wherein said tether is rotatably engaged to said spool, and wherein said spool and said adjustment device are adapted such that a first adjustment of said adjustment device causes a payout length of said tether to decrease and such that a second adjustment of said adjustment device causes a payout length of said tether to increase.
