Abstract: The present application describes protective eyewear having a unitary brow bar with temples and flexible molded hinges. The temples may be adjusted in length. The frame includes integrally molded flexible hinges which allow the temples to collapse. A unitary spherical lens is selectively attached to the frame and can be adapted to wrap around the forehead of the wearer's temples and include a nose bridge for supporting the lens on the wearer's nose. A stabilizing strip may be used to hold the frame and lens in place when the eyewear is assembled.

Abstract: A strap retainer useful for attaching a retaining strap to safety equipment for quick positioning, securing and release of the equipment by the user is described. The strap retainer comprises a quick-release clamp on one end having a frame, a beveled stabilizer flange on the frame to position the retainer strap, a serrated edge, and a spring hinge cooperating to form an opening through which the retaining strap is drawn and held by the serrated edge being urged against the strap by the spring hinge. The strap retainer can be retrofitted to the safety equipment either by a clip or can be integrally constructed with an element of the equipment, usually safety googles.
