One of the strap brackets includes a third post to removably secure the lateral pull-strap of the tear-away lenses, the other two posts (for securing the panes of the tear-away lenses over the permanent lens) being carried on a pair of lens brackets which are removably secured to either side extent of the goggle frame.
Abstract: An eyewear front frame construction having first and second frame components in the form of a unitary, plastic brow bar having a pair of integral nose pads extending downwardly therefrom, and a pair of eyewires having a central bridge, respectively. The first and second frame components are attached together at primary attachment points by a pair of nose pad overlays which are affixed to the eyewires, respectively, and which align with and are secured over the nose pads which are attached to the brow bar. A pair of screws are passed through the nose pad overlays from the front and extend into the nose pads. Secondary attachment points are established by first and second tabs affixed to a respective eyewire which are inserted into a pair of recesses formed in the brow bar, and a pair screws extending therethrough which are inserted through the back surface of the brow bar.
