Abstract: A lens holder for visual correction within a safety mask. The bridge between the two lenses is bendable to allow contouring of the lenses to fit a person's face and a curved face plate on the mask. A hole in the bridge serves to receive a post on a bracket fixed in the mask. A hinged carrier allows a variety of brackets to be used, and the hinge is bifurcated to facilitate bending of the bridge. The lens holder is formed of an elastomeric thermoplastic, so portions of the carrier assembly are easily removable for use of the lens holder in a variety of different brackets for different safety masks.

Abstract: An eyeglass mounting structure for temporarily securing eyeglasses within a protective mask. The eyeglasses include a frame having a bridge between the lenses, and a plastic hinge connects the hinge to a carrier. A suction cup has a screw extending therefrom, and holes in the carrier allow the screw to be threaded into the carrier. More than one such hole will allow adjustable placement of the eyeglasses with respect to the suction cup.Further, the bridge is made thin to act as a hinge and allow the eyeglasses to be partially folded to fit within a curved mask. The hinge is bifurcated to allow easy folding without requiring lateral bending of the hinge.

Abstract: Apparatus for fixing eyeglasses within a protective mask is disclosed, the eyeglasses being adjustable vertically. An attaching bar is fixed to the viewing glass of the mask, the attaching bar having two or more notches vertically spaced. A carrier has the eyeglasses attached, and the carrier has tabs to be received by the notches. The vertical position of the eyeglasses is fixed by selecting the appropriate notches.
