Patent number: 10226081Abstract: A size adjustment arrangement for a garment comprises a base member, a ratchet member, a line, a spool, and an actuator. The line is wound on the spool with the line extending through at least one channel in the garment. The actuator is selectively rotatable in a first direction and a second direction without activation of any release mechanism. When a first force is applied to rotate the actuator in the first direction, the line is wound upon the spool. When a second force is applied to rotate the actuator in the second direction, the line is unwound upon the spool. The ratchet member and the spool are blocked from rotation when neither the first force nor the second force is applied to the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventors: Jason Berns, Merida Miller

Patent number: 8065745Abstract: A funereal garment for use in providing a full and healthy appearance to a corpse lacking tissue necessary for such appearance. The garment includes a main garment body with compartments positioned to receive shaped inserts, wherein the compartments and shaped inserts are provided in sufficient number and location to provide a supplementary mass and enhanced physiological conformation to a corpse dressed in such garment, simulative of a full and healthy appearance of the corpse in relation to the corpse without such garment. The inserts may be inflatable articles or forms of predetermined shape, adapted for placement and retention in the compartments of the garment, so that the funereal garment provides the corpse with an aesthetic appearance for viewing and funeral/internment ceremonies.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Inventor: Melvin Huell

Patent number: 5396661Abstract: A helmet visor operating mechanism in which springs urge the rolling elements of respective pairs of rolling elements toward relatively smaller radial dimension spaces between a brake ring carried by the visor and an axle carried by the helmet shell to lock the visor against movement toward its raised position and against movement toward its lowered position. Respective actuators mounted for rotary movement on the axle have pairs of tangs extending into the space between the axle and the ring and between the rolling elements of the respective pairs. Outwardly extending tabs can be squeezed together to cause the tangs to move the rolling elements of the pairs away from each other against the action of the springs to unlock the visor and permit it to be raised or lowered by subsequent movement of the tabs in the same direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1993Date of Patent: March 14, 1995Assignee: Gentex CorporationInventors: Brad L. Sutter, Francis J. Kuna, John B. Arnaiz

Patent number: 5329642Abstract: A helmet having a visor mounted on pivot posts fixed to the helmet shell includes a visor driving and latching mechanism which acts both to allow the wearer to move the visor between its lowered and raised positions and also to hold the visor in either position. The mechanism has an operating lever which is pivoted to the visor at a point spaced from the pivot post. The operating lever has a slightly elongated aperture which receives the pivot post, and a hollowed out portion which receives a cam fixed relative to the pivot post. The operating lever has a first tooth which engages a first recess in the cam to hold the visor in its lowered position, and a second tooth which engages in a second recess in the cam to hold the visor in its raised position. To move the visor from its lowered to its raised position, the wearer manually rotates the operating lever in the appropriate direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1992Date of Patent: July 19, 1994Assignee: Helmets LimitedInventor: Ian Dampney
