- ABSTRACT An improved flight deck goggle which accommodates vision-correcting spectacles or eyeglasses and which CCII "2/14 u 2/14 may be used with a helmet Vprovided with sound-at- 58 Field 4 D 14 H tenuatxng earcups is made up of a spherical panto- 2/14 K. I4 N14 P, i4 W. i4 XS Clarke et al.
- .f2/I4 XS scopic lens section which is molded from clear impactY resistant synthetic resin with rearward extensions iii the sides thereof, thus providing an upper lens section edge which is detachably received in a frame which abuts the wearers forehead to space the upper edge of the lens section from the forehead to tilt the section downwardly to permit the lower edge, having a nose bridge recess therein, to rest on the wearers cheekbones with the side extensions disposed at the temples of the wearer to receive a strap or 'the like for holding the goggle on the head.
- protective goggles of the type known in the prior art do not successfully satisfy the needs of persons working around aircraft as on carriers or landing fields or the like. Some of the goggles do not provide the wearer with the wide field of vision which is necessary for safe and efficient work. Goggles of the prior art generally are not suitable for use by a person wearing sound-attenuating earcups. They do not accommodate vision-correcting spectacles.
- My improved flight deck goggle which is especially adapted for use by persons working in the vicinity of aircraft.
- My improved flight deck goggle affords the wearer a wide field of vision. It may be integrated with sound-attenuating earcups worn by flight deck crewmen. It comfortably accommodates visioncorrecting spectacles.
- My goggle has a lens which is readily replaceable by a tinted lens or the like as required. The lens of my goggle is resistant to abrasion and impact. It is relatively inexpensive for the result achieved thereby. The lens of my goggle may readily be replaced.
- One object of my invention is to provide an improved flight deck goggle especially adapted for use by persons working in aircraft takeoff and landing areas.
- Another object of my invention is to provide an irnproved flight deck goggle affording a wide field of vision.
- a further object of my invention is to provide a flight deck goggle which can be used by a person wearing sound-attenuating earcups.
- Still another object of my invention is to provide a flight deck goggle which will accommodate visioncorrecting eyeglasses.
- Yet another object of my invention is to provide a flight deck goggle which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture for the result achieved thereby.
- my invention contemplates the provision of a flight deck goggle wherein a spherical pantoscopic lens section, is molded ⁇ fromV clear impact-resistant synthetic resin with rearward extensions so as to provide an upper edge which is detachably received in a horizontally disposed frame which spaces thel lens from the wearers forehead and which rotates it downwardly to cause the lower edge, formed with a nose bridge recess, to rest on the wearers cheekbones with the side extensions at the wearers temples so as to receive a strap or the like in securing the goggle in place.
- FIG. l is a front elevation of my improved flight deck goggle in position on the head of a person wearing a helmet provided with sound-attenuating earcups.
- FIG. 2 is a side elevation of my flight deck goggle in position on the head of a person wearing a helmet having sound-attenuating earcups.
- FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the lens molding of my flight deck goggle.
- FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the assembly of the frame and lens of my flight deck goggle.
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view through my flight deck goggle.
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a portion of my flight deck goggle taken along the line ⁇ 6-6 of FIG. 4 and drawn on an enlarged scale.
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view of my improved flight deck goggle taken along the line 7-7 of FIG. 2 and drawn on an enlarged scale.
- FIGS. l to 5 of the drawings my improved flight deck goggle indicated generally by the reference character l0 is adapted to be worn by a person 12 who is equipped with a protective helmet 14 carrying respective sound-attenuating earcups 16 and 18 of any suitable type known to the art and held on the wearers head by any suitable means. Since the assemblies 16 and 18 per se form no part of my invention, they will not be described in detail. It will readily be apparent, however, that the assemblies are ⁇ relatively bulky and that they ⁇ occupy a relatively large area around the ear of the wearer.
- the assembly l0 includes a lens section 20 which is molded from any suitable clear impact-resistant materi al such for example as a polycarbonate resin.
- I mold the lens section 20 as to provide a spherical lens area having respective rearward extensions 22 and 24 at the sides of the section 20.
- the upper edges of extensions 22 and 24 are provided with respective snap lugs 30 and 32.
- Openings 34 and 36 in the side extensions 22 and 24 receive fittings to which the ends of a strap may be secured in a manner to be described.
- the lower edge 38 of the lens 20 is formed with a recess 40 for receiving the bridge of the wearers nose in a manner to be described.
- the mold elements in which I injection mold the lens are highly polished by optical finishing techniques to ensure surface continuity, a smooth surface finish and lack of distorted areas in the finished part. After molding the lens is coated with a. mar-resistant coating of any suitable type known to the art.
- My goggle also includes a frame indicated generally by the reference character 42 having a spacer portion 44 which is generally horizontally disposed in use of the goggle as will be described hereinbelow.
- the forward edge of the spacer portion 44 is provided with a downwardly extending flange 46 behind which I form respective guides 48 and 50 extending downwardly from the underside of the spacer portion 44.
- Flange 46 extends entirely along the front of the frame 42 and rearwardly along the sides of the frame to the rear edge thereof. l form another pair of guides 52 and 54 ad jacent the rear edge of the spacer 44 at locations spaced from flange 46 and extending downwardly from the underside of the spacer.
- I provide a spacer 44 with respective openings 56, 58 and 60 into which the respective lugs 28, 30 and 32 are adapted to snap.
- the frame 42 is injection molded from any suitable material such as impact-resistant polypropylene.
- the lens section and the extensions 22 and 24 may be assembled with the frame 42 by snapping the lugs 28, 30 and 32 into openings 56, S8 and 60 so that the upper edge 26 of the section 20 is disposed between the forward portion of flange 46 and guides 48 and 50 and so that the upper edges of the extensions 22 and 24 are located between the respective side portions of flange 46 and the guides 52 and 54.
- Spring washers 66 retain filter pieces 68 within the housings under the openings 64 so as to ventilate the space within the assembly while preventing foreign matter from entering the space.
- the pieces 68 may be made from polypropylene screen.
- I form the rear edge of the spacer 44 with an upwardly extending flange 70 which is adapted to receive a molding 72 formed from a suitable soft and resilient material such as natural or synthetic rubber to form a seal against the wearers head when the goggle is in use. If necessary an adhesive may be employed to retain gasket or molding 72 in position.
- a molding 72 formed from a suitable soft and resilient material such as natural or synthetic rubber to form a seal against the wearers head when the goggle is in use. If necessary an adhesive may be employed to retain gasket or molding 72 in position.
- Snap rings 80 retain polypropylene screens 82 in the housing 84 of the members 78.
- Each of the members 78 is formed with a boss 86 carrying a flange 88 to permit a castoff strap connector 90 to be releasably engaged with the boss 86 under the retainer flange 88.
- a length of strap 92 of any suitable material connects the fastener element 90 to a ring 94 which receives one end of an elastic strap 96. Strap 96 permits the goggle l0 to be releasably positioned on the wearers head. It will be seen that the lengths 92 extend over the respective sound-attenuating earcups 16 and 18.
- My goggle affords the wearer a wide range of vision downwardly and upwardly as well as from side to side. It comfortably accommodates vision correcting spectacles or eyeglasses. lt can be used by a person wearing sound-attenuating earcups. It is relatively inexpensive to construct for the result achieved thereby.
- the lens of the goggle may be replaced in a simple and expeditious manner.
- the interior of my goggle is adequately ventilated though the periphery of the goggle fits closely against the wearers face.
- a protective goggle including in combination a pantoscopic lens section having a double curvature to provide a generally spherical configuration said lens section being elongated in a direction transversely of a wearers head, said lens section having upper and lower edges, a frame for receiving the upper edge of said lens section, said frame being provided with a spacer extending rearwardly from said upper edge, and means for retaining the assembly of said lens section and said frame in position on the wearers head with said spacer in engagement with the forehead of the wearer to space the upper edge of the lens section away from the wearers head, the curvature of said lens section and the spacing provided by said spacer being such as to position said lower edge closely adjacent to the cheekbone regions of the wearer s face to afford the wearer a wide field of view through said lens upwardly and downwardly and to the left and to the right while fully protecting the wearers eyes against injury by foreign bodies.
