Abstract: A curved optical eye shield removably attached to a single set of arms that connect to an elastomerically operated tensioning system that is formed by two pulleys separated by a rotating armature held in place by a mounting mechanism. The eye shield rotates from a normal viewing position to an out of viewing position above the forehead. The elastomerically operated tensioning system uses a to apply clockwise tension to keep the eye shield held firmly in the viewing position, and when the eye shield is manually lifted toward the out of viewing position above the forehead, tension is applied to the reverse direction to keep the eye shield held firmly in the out of view position.

Abstract: A curved optical eye shield removably attached to a single set of arms that connect to an elastomerically operated tensioning system that is an integral part of ahead mount system. The eye shield rotates from a normal viewing position to an out of viewing position above the forehead. The rotation of the eye shield is initiated manually, but, the elastomerically operated tensioning system contemplates the rotation unassisted after the eye shield passes midway in its travel. The elastomerically operated tensioning system uses an H shaped tensor to apply clockwise tension to keep the eye shield held firmly in the viewing position, and when the eye if shield is manually lifted toward the out of viewing position above the forehead, tension is applied to the reverse or counter clockwise direction to keep the eye shield held firmly in the out of view position.

Abstract: An eyeshield removably attached to a headgear. The eyeshield manually rotates from a normal viewing position to an out of viewing position above the forehead by means of two sets of pivotal arms attached to a unique bistable tensioning pivotal mechanism. This mechanism applies tension to keep the eyeshield held firmly in place in the normal viewing position, and when the eyeshield is manually lifted toward the out of viewing position above the forehead, tension is applied in the reverse direction to keep the eyeshield held firmly in the out of viewing position. The position of the eyeshield may also be adjusted with respect to the face of the user.
