  • Patent number: 11638454
    Abstract: A head mask, configured to cover the head of a wearer, includes a shell that includes bendable foam and a soft fabric on the exterior of the shell. The head mask further includes a cushioned collar at the bottom of the head mask to prevent discomfort when the head mask impacts the wearer. The collar may be cushioned, for example, by making the collar thicker than the combined thickness of the shell and decorative fabric, such as by folding the bendable foam of the shell and the soft fabric inwardly and attaching the folded bendable foam and soft fabric materials to the shell, or by increasing the thickness of the bendable foam or fabric layer used in the collar. The head mask further includes one or more openings for the eyes and for breathability, where the openings may be covered with a one-way mesh.

  • Publication number: 20060218838
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a picture frame holder which can accommodate a picture frame in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. The picture frame holder of the present invention includes a base with a slot and a vertical support having outwardly extending appendages, each of which has both vertical and horizontal slots aligned with the slot in the base. The appendages are spaced at a distance apart from one another which is substantially equal to the smaller dimension of the frame which it is to accommodate. Thus, it is possible to slide a picture frame into the picture frame holder using the horizontal or vertical slots which will allow the picture frame to be oriented in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
