Abstract:
A decorative visor assembly comprising:a first, generally planar material panel and a second, generally planar material panel,a seal assembly structured to selectively and precisely couple said first material panel to said second material panel,said seal assembly including a perimeter seal structured to define a primary chamber between said first and said second material panels,said perimeter seal being substantially fluid impervious so as to contain a quantity of a fluid within said primary chamber,valve means structured and disposed to permit the selective flow of the fluid into said primary chamber so as to define an inflated orientation and a deflated orientation of said primary chamber,said seal assembly further including a plurality of interior seals,said interior seals coupling said first material panel to said second material panel such that upon inflation of said primary chamber, a force of inflation is precisely and selectively translated through said first and said second material panels so as to define a forward shading region and a rear securing region, andsaid rear securing region being structured to be coupled at least partially about a user's head so as to extend said forward shading region outwardly, in a generally perpendicular orientation from a forehead of the user in a shading relation over a user's eyes, andsaid interior seals defining an upwardly depending central region upon said primary chamber being inflated, said interior seals which define said upwardly depending central region being disposed such that said force of inflation that is translated through said first and said second material panels causes said upwardly depending central region to extend upwardly out of a plane of said forward shading region.
