  • Publication number: 20210401090
    Abstract: A shoulder-supported protective microbe shield is provided that has a transparent and flexible protective shield connected to a shoulder support piece. In one example, the shoulder support piece may be comfortably placed around the neck such that it is fully supported at the back of the wearer's neck, across the shoulders, and rests on the chest. The shoulder support piece is generally U-shaped with a magnet at the top of each leg of the U. In this way, the magnets are spaced apart and positioned approximately at the wearer's sternum. With the shoulder support piece in place, the shield can be removably coupled to the magnets. More particularly, the shield connects to a support bar at its bottom perimeter, and the bar has metal plates that cooperate with the magnets in the shoulder support piece. As a result, the shield may be easily connected to the shoulder support piece, and me can be positioned or rotated into the proper, safe, and comfortable position.

  • Publication number: 20210368886
    Abstract: A wearable protective microbe shield is provided that has a transparent and bendable shield connected to the underside of a visor portion of a cap, helmet, or protective head gear. In one example, the cap is provided in the form of a baseball cap with a stiff curved front visor. In another example, the protective headgear is a hard hat. The visor has internal or external connectors that coupled to complementary connectors on the top of the transparent microbe shield. These connectors not only provide for removably coupling the microbe shield to the underside of the visor, they also act to add a level of stability and rigidness to the flexible microbe shield. In this way, the microbe shield has no support frame along its side or bottom surface, thereby facilitating exceptional and un-obstructed viewing by the user or wearer and providing exceptional protection against airborne microbes.

  • Patent number: 9979837
    Abstract: A communication structure for both personal communication services and broadly disseminated communication services is described. The communication structure includes a communication unit having telecommunication capability enabling a user of the communication structure to communicate to a remote individual. The communication structure also including multiple displays capable of displaying text, image, video data and further including non-digital advertising surfaces for displaying static images and a speaker system for broadcasting messages. The multiple displays and non-digital advertising surfaces allowing for communication with individuals within visual range of the communication structure. The multiple displays having synchronization capability, allowing for coordination of the text, image and video data displayed. The communication structure being connectable to other communication structures and the multiple displays of the multiple communication structures also having synchronization capability.
