  • Publication number: 20220279863
    Abstract: The sock pairing system includes a loop that is attached adjacent the top edge of socks and is used to attach pairs of socks to keep a plurality of socks sorted during laundering. The effective length of the loop is the length of the loop between the ends of the loop that are attached to the sock. The effective length of the loop is selected based on the type of sock to which the sock pairing system is attached. The sock pairing system may also include an optional pocket. In its extended position the loop extends out of the pocket, and in its tucked position the loop is tucked into the pocket. The pockets may also be color-coded, such that pairs of socks can be readily identified from a plurality of socks, should the socks become separated prior to or during laundering.

  • Patent number: 9469179
    Abstract: The sunglasses configuration car visor is formed of a closed, completely surrounding frame having a translucent lens or panel removably installed therein. The device may be provided as a pair of mirror image units for removable attachment to the conventional opaque left/right sun visors in a motor vehicle. When deployed, such a pair of translucent, shaded lenses or panels has the appearance of a pair of sunglasses disposed immediately inside the vehicle windshield. The frames have visor attachment clips extending therefrom, with the clips pivotally attached to the frame of the device. This allows the visors to be deployed or retracted independently of the permanently installed opaque visor in the vehicle. The interchangeability of various lenses or panels allows the user to switch to lenses of different gradients depending upon conditions, and/or to display a scene, message, etc. on a partially silvered lens or panel.
