  • Patent number: 11963563
    Abstract: Described herein are sweat-diverting devices which can be adhered to a wearer by an adhesive. The sweat-diverting devices described here may be adhered over a portion of the face without circumscribing the head. Such sweat-diverting devices may comprise a first leg and a second leg that are joined at a base of the device to form a channel therebetween, where at least a portion of the base is more rigid than the first and second legs such that an acute angle between the first and second legs is maintained when the sweat-diverting device is applied on a wearer's forehead. In some variations, the thickness of the base is greater than the thickness of either of the legs, which may help to maintain a separation between the tips of the legs even when the sweat-diverting device is applied to a wearer's forehead.

  • Patent number: 6282825
    Abstract: An adjustable display panel having one or more individual sign elements slidably mounted between partitioning elements attached laterally to the frame. In one embodiment, a plurality of partitioning elements are magnetically attached to the frame using a series of apertures in the frame. The partitioning elements each include a sliding track or groove for slidably receiving one edge of the sign elements therein. A removable stop element is provided on at least one side of the frame to permit easy access to the sign elements in order to facilitate modification or replacement thereof. The sign elements of the present invention further comprise a front and rear portion, these portions being separable from one another. The front portion of the sign element, which contains graphic images or writing, may be separated from the rear portion and replaced.
