Definitions
- An object of my invention is to provide a novel pair of goggles which is devoid of the above named disadvantages and wherein the side shield is of one piece construction, making the goggles relatively inexpensive tomanufacture, yet providing extreme comfort in wear; also making it relatively easy to replace the lenses thereof.
- a further object of the invention is to provide, in a pair of goggles, a side shield or face piece of very soft plastic material which is extremely flexible and provides an extremely comfortable fit around the eyes, thereby permitting wear for long periods of time without discomfort.
- a still further object of my invention is to provide a pair of goggles whose side shield is provided with integral top and side ventilating means and integral side buckles for attaching the headstrap, all as component parts of the one piece shield.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a pair of goggles embodying the principles ofmy invention
- FIG. 2 is a front view in modified form of goggles having a one piece lens as distinguished from two separate lenses;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary view showing a front portion of the goggles shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV--IV of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line VV of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 6 is a side view of a modified form of snap fastening lens retainer capmeans which may be substituted for screw caps 10;
- FIG. 7 is an enlarged, cross-sectional view of the goggle cup shown in FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII VIII of FIG. 1.
- numeral 1 denotes a one piece side shield or face piece for a pair of goggles, which side shield is made of very soft flexible plasticmaterial, such as polyethylene, and having a top and side, face engaging peripheral flanges 2.
- Shield 1 is also provided with an integral, top ventilating shield ,Za (see FIG. 5) overlying a perforated portion of the shield for permitting ventilation through holes 2b and having integrally formed side shields 3 of similar construction spaced from and overlying perforated side portions of the shield 1, that is, covering holes 2c formed in the shield 1 similar to holes 2b, for ventilating the temples of the wearer.
- Integrally formed on the side shields 3 are buckles or anchors 3a, also of plastic material, having rear, front and side openings through which the ends of the head strap 4 may be looped and anchored.
- Frame 6 is mounted on and held within the shield 1 by virtue of the radially extending flanges 5 snugly embracing both sides thereof as shown in FIG. 5.
- Frame 6 has integral projections or tabs 7, 8, extending laterally outwardly through corresponding holes in the side shields and has projections 9 and 10 on opposite sides of the nosepiece portion of frame 6 extending through corresponding holes in flanges 5, likewise lens 6a has integral tabs or lugs 7a, 8a, 9a and 10a which are adapted to fit into registering holes formed in the side shield 1 or in flanges 5.
- the ends of flanges 5 are provided with two pairs of registering holes, which are staggered, as shown more clearly in FIG.
- projections 9 and 9a have upstanding arms and serve as anchors to which the free ends of the shield are securely held and fastened. In view of the stretchability and extreme flexibility of the shield 1, the ends may be even stretched somewhat so as to be held more tightly by projections 9 and 10 (also 9a and 10a).
- FIG. 2 shows a modification which is very similar to the form shown in FIG. 1 except that a single plastic lens sheet 6a is provided, instead of separate circular lenses, and integral front projections 9a and rear projections 10a are formed thereon for anchoring the ends of the flanges 5 in the same manner as described in connection with FIG. 1.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 show a modification of the lens retainer ring of FIG. 1 which has a cammed end portion 12b so shaped that a cap having a corresponding cammed or doubly bevelled internal surface will be snap fitted to the ring 12a.
- goggles which is especially suited for welding and other applications for protecting the eyes of the wearer
- goggles have a unique side shield or face piece which is molded in the form of one piece, very soft and flexible plastic material having integrally formed, thereon, a top ventilating shield and side ventilating shields as well as having integrally molded side buckles of the same plastic material for anchoring the end-s of the head strap; also having integrally formed radially inwardly extending flanges of a construction so as to be readily attached to or detached from the frame holding the lenses of the goggles; furthermore I have provided a side shield or face piece construction of very soft plastic material which is adapted to provide an extremely comfortable fit on the face of the wearer; furthermore I have provided a snap acting cap which may retain the lens simply by snap action.
- a pair of goggles having a side shield of flexible plastic material, said shield having in the front perimetrical portion thereof a pair of radially inwardly extending parallel flanges, a rigid lens supporting frame having a peripheral edge adapted to snugly fit between said flanges so as to be supported thereby, spaced tabs extending from said edge adjacent the nose-surrounding portion which are adapted to fit into corresponding holes extending through said flanges, an additional pair of tabs extending laterally outwardly from the sides of the frame and into registering holes formed in said shield integrally molded flanges spaced from and overhanging perforated side portions of said side shield to provide ventilation of the temples, and an integrally molded flange spaced from and overhanging a top perforated portion of said side shield to provide ventilation of the forehead.
- each of the pairs of flanges at the free ends of said side shield is provided with a staggered pair of holes and the nose surrounding portion of said frame is provided with two correspondingly staggered pairs of tabs integrally formed on opposite faces thereof which are adapted to fit into said pairs of holes for anchoring the ends of said side shield to said frame.
