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 helmet, a tether, a tether housing, a spool, eyewear, and an adjustment device, said breath deflector being connected to said eyewear and tethered to said spool and said adjustment device by said tether, and said adjustment device being mounted to a front portion of said helmet, and wherein said apparatus is adapted such that a first actuation of said adjustment device causes a first rotation of said spool, movement of said tether through said tether housing, and a payout length of said tether to decrease and such that a second actuation of said adjustment device causes a second rotation of said spool, movement of said tether through said tether housing, and a payout length of said tether to increase.
A breath deflector apparatus comprising a breath deflector connected to a goggle frame, a tether, a tether housing, a spool, eyewear, and an adjustment device having an adjustment knob, wherein said breath deflector is connected to said eyewear and tethered to said spool and said adjustment device by said tether, and wherein said apparatus is adapted such that rotation of said adjustment knob in a first direction causes a first rotation of said spool, movement of said tether through said tether housing, and a payout length of said tether to decrease and such that linear movement of said adjustment knob in a second direction causes a second rotation of said spool, movement of said tether through said tether housing, and a payout length of said tether to increase.
A breath deflector apparatus comprising a breath deflector, a tether, a tether housing, a spool, eyewear, and an adjustment device having a rotatable knob, wherein said breath deflector is connected to said eyewear and tethered to said spool and said adjustment device by said tether, and wherein said apparatus is adapted such that a first actuation of said adjustment device causes a first rotation of said spool, movement of said tether through said tether housing, and a payout length of said tether to decrease and such that a second actuation of said adjustment device causes a second rotation of said spool, movement of said tether through said tether housing, and a payout length of said tether to increase, and wherein one of said first actuation and second actuation comprises a rotation of said rotatable knob and another of said first actuation and second actuation comprises a linear movement of said rotatable knob.
