Publication number: 20240197019Abstract: A new Invention of soft material for protecting the user's face, ears, neck, and shoulders from the sun. Temporarily or permanently attaching soft material to an eyewear retainer, starting from retainer's connection members at each end, and providing shade all the way around user's head. Some types of work and sports are difficult to perform while wearing a “brimmed” hat, such as operating a crane and shooting a basketball. Also, most of a person's body heat is ventilated through the top of the head. When a sport or work is very strenuous, the user of this new invention will be able to ventilate better from the top of their head. When eyewear is not being used, the new material provides protective storage by wrapping around lenses and temple bars. Additionally, the newly added material to the retainer makes space for speciality advertising. This invention makes life more safe.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Frank S. Sander, JR., Daniel Scott Hagan
