Abstract:
A lightweight visor for conforming to a curvature of a forehead and sides of a head of a wearer comprising in combination:a crescent-shaped semi-rigid plastic mesh material having mesh sized to provide filtered sun ray incidence with minimum resistance to and through to the head of the wearer, the crescent-shaped semi-rigid plastic mesh material having an outer and larger curvature forming the visor brim and an inner and smaller curvature forming the head-contacting surface of the visor; the inner and smaller curvature of the crescent having a curvature which is greater than the curvature of the forehead and the sides of the head of the wearer; an elastic cord connected to the respective ends of the crescent for drawing the smaller curvature of the crescent to the curvature of the forehead and sides of the head of the wearer whereby the crescent-shaped semi-rigid plastic mesh material is formed into an arcuate disposition with the concave side shading the eyes of the wearer; at least one removably detachable light-obstructing shade has an area of less than one-third of the crescent-shaped semi-rigid plastic mesh material for selective placement to the visor whereby glare through the visor at a specific angle to the sun is blocked; and, a fastening means on the visor permitting the area of placement of the light-obstructing shade on the visor to be changed relative to eyes of the wearer whereby glare from a specific angle may be blocked by the selective placement of the shade.
