  • Patent number: 11467431
    Abstract: Swimming goggles of the present invention include a pair of lenses. Each lens has a window. The window is connected with a ventilated waterproof device that is watertight but not airtight, through which a heat on an inner side of the lens produced by human body in form of fog and water particles permeates toward an outer side of the lens; relatively, fog on the outer side of the lens is soon turned into water drops through condensation, the water drops are too large to undergo reverse permeation into the inner side of the lens; because of the effect of surface tension within the condensed water drops, water molecules pull each other as a stable state and are unable to be separated from the water drops toward the inner side of the lens so that the water leakage of the swimming goggles is eliminated and waterproof function is achieved.

  • Patent number: 11464351
    Abstract: A ready hanger automatically pivots about a hinge to raise an arm of the hanger up to make it easy to find the empty hangers in a crowded closet. A hinge is configured between the hook portion and hanger portion and a weighted portion creates an imbalance in the hanger portion to cause it to rotate about the hinge. The hanger portion rotates to produce an inclined end that extends up above the clothes and other hangers in the closet. The weighted portion may be configured proximal an extended end of the arm extension to produce torque to cause the hanger portion to rotate. The hanger portion rotates automatically to an incline angle from horizontal of at least 15 degrees or more. A spring element may be configured between the hook portion and hanger portion to produce the torque required to rotate the hanger portion and produce the inclined end.

  • Patent number: 11445765
    Abstract: A dynamic ventilation system for socks including an ergonomic and asymmetric strip structure (3) which contains the plantar arch so as to create internally an integrated aerating sector (4). Further, the system has a first structure with a transparent zone in which an air circulating system is created that is provided for regulating the temperature of the foot and leg, containing a certain quantity of air between skin and sock so as to create an “air chamber” with an effect of insulating from the external environment and a second structure having a plurality of contact sectors (5) that have greater support on the skin that are interrupted by free portions (6) for the passage of air. The system further includes a pair of ribs (11) that create a passage/tunnel for circulating air in addition to increasing Achilles tendon protection in which each rib is a cushion that fills with air.

  • Patent number: 11432669
    Abstract: An assistance device for putting on a jacket includes an elongated bar and magnetic connection elements (such as magnets or metallic elements) positioned at each end of the elongated bar. The assistance device can be magnetically attached to corresponding magnetic connection elements at the shoulders of a jacket. As the jacket is placed over one shoulder, the other end of the assistance device (and attached portions of the jacket) will tend to be biased toward the other side of the user. This makes it easier for users to grab the other side of the jacket since it extends toward the arm not in the jacket sleeve reducing the distance that the user needs to move this arm behind their back to grab the jacket. This is especially valuable for users with restricted mobility who find it hard to put on jackets without the assistance device.
