Abstract: A frameless goggle construction including an elongated lens structure having opposed ends formed of a generally planar, semi-rigid, transparent sheet of plastic deformed about its minor dimension to be configured as a simple curve with convex and concave sides. The sheet rigidity is such that the lens structure may flex to move the ends closer to or further from each other and the periphery of the concave side mounts a layer of soft resilient cushioning material of substantial thickness adapted for cushioned contact with and conformance to the face of a wearer of a goggle. An elongated strap is connected to the ends of the lens structure to secure the goggle to the head of the wearer and to provide a face conforming force to the lens. The lens structure is antifogging and formed of a non-rigid spacer sandwiched between inner and outer lenses with air flow passages formed in the spacer and inner lens.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a portable ventilation system which can be incorporated into caps, hats or other conventional headgear. An aperture is formed in the brim or front section of a hat or cap which is adapted to receive the body of the ventilating apparatus. A direct current motor is installed at the center of the mounted body, the shaft of the motor being directly coupled to a multiple bladed impeller. A directional visor is mounted below the impeller and in juxtaposition to the user's face for directing the flow of air resulting from rotation of the impeller. The DC motor is powered by a portable battery pack. Interconnection between the motor source for the present invention and the battery pack allows the hat or cap upon which the present invention is mounted to be removed.

Abstract: A safety helmet exhibits, in the zone of the longitudinal line of symmetry of its chin protector, an upwardly projecting rubber-elastic material air duct member comprising a sealing lip. This sealing lip extends past the contact area of the visor on the chin protector to such an extent that the chin protector is in contact with the visor when the visor is opened a crack. Thus, the air stream entering the interior of the helmet is conducted toward the lateral regions of the window and cannot affect the eyes of the helmet wearer. Since the air duct member is made of a rubber-elastic material, the visor can be closed entirely. Additionally, the air duct member is provided with two lateral parts and a continuous water-conducting groove which is arranged in these parts and in the air duct member. Water can collect in the groove and be drained off in the rearward and downward directions.

Abstract: The safety helmet has a viewing opening which can be covered by a visor. Several vent openings and air passage openings are arranged at the chin protector of the safety helmet. Such openings terminate together into an air-collecting chamber provided on the inside of the chin protector. Two ventilating tubes extending to the top edge of the viewing opening lead away from this air-collecting chamber. An air stream produced by a pressure head passes through the vent openings--as well as through the air passage openings if the visor is opened somewhat--into the air-collecting chamber and is conducted by the ventilating tubes onto the inside of the visor, thereby substantially preventing any fogging of the visor by moisture precipitation.

Abstract: A flexible goggle has an internal frame ledge with anti-glare textured surface.

Abstract: Ski goggles are composed of goggle frame, goggle lens and rubber band. Vent holes are formed, respectively, in the top peripheral wall portion and the bottom peripheral wall portion of the goggle frame. A permeable coating material is engaged to cover the vent holes. A mounting stand, which serves as duct, is engaged in the central portion of the top peripheral wall portion of the goggle frame. A ventilating fan and a small-size motor for driving the fan are mounted on the mounting stand. The ventilating fan is adapted to compulsorily ventilate the air within the inner space formed between the goggle lens and the face, and is accommodated within the mounting stand. The motor can be turned on or off by a power supply switch. The number of the revolutions can be controlled by the controlling circuit or can be controlled by a controlling circuit or in accordance with the humidity of the inner space.

Abstract: A unique goggle is disclosed with improved ventilation means. The goggle includes a frame having a transparent lens across its forward side and the frame is secured to the head of the user by a strap or the like. In doing so, a goggle chamber is formed between the frame, lens and the head of the user. At least one ventilation port is formed through the frame which is open to the chamber while an elongated ventilation channel is secured to and extends rearwardly from the frame. One end of the channel is open to the goggle chamber while the other end of the channel is open rearwardly of the goggle frame. In use, air is evacuated from the goggle chamber and out through the ventilation channel by venturi forces.

Abstract: A safety goggle including a one-piece wrap-around front with hinged temples continuing rearwardly therefrom. The goggle features improved anti-fogging ventilation and universal nasal area face fitting.

Abstract: Sports goggles are formed with anterior and posterior frame sections each having a bow spaced from each other to define a slot to provide increased ventilation of space behind lens and particularly against the rearward surface of the lens for the elimination or reduction of fogging. The anterior frame section carries the lens at a position spaced farther than normal from the wearer's face and posterior frame section carries a nosebridge and temples. These goggles may be economically manufactured by molding lightweight material into a separate posterior frame section and a separate anterior frame section, then joining the two frame sections through tab and slot assembly.

Abstract: An eye protection device comprising a soft, flexible plastic envelope forming a goggle enclosure contoured to comfortably conform to the angular anterior cranial features of a particular mammalian, non-human animal, such as a dog, two elastic band means for extending in different directions for securing said envelope to the cranium; the envelope having venting means for permitting indirect exposure of the animal's eyes to the atmosphere; and a plastic window positioned at a front opening in the envelope.

Abstract: A sport goggle is disclosed which includes a rectangular flexible frame normally disposed in planar relation and bendable to conform to a wearer's head on which the goggle may be secured by flexible straps secured to opposite ends of the frame. The frame supports a removable rectangular lens and has a face engaging cushion spaced from the lens by support pads which define air vents therebetween over which flexible air filters are mounted. The straps are adapted to be folded about and secured to the frame so as to protect the lens during non-use.

Abstract: A protective helmet of the type which substantially completely surrounds the wearer's head to provide maximum protection from otherwise hazardous conditions encountered during sand blasting, steam or high pressure water jet cleaning, welding, and other operations requiring protection from dust, fumes, gases, and other dangerous environmental conditions is disclosed, wherein improved air distributing means is provided within the helmet to achieve improved air circulation at a reduced noise level which is not obnoxious or harmful to the wearer. In addition, the air supply hose is provided which enters the helmet from the downwardly facing open end thereof, so that the hose does not project from the sides or top of the helmet. The air supply hose is, further, conveniently anchored to a belt around the wearer's waist. An apron or skirt can be removably attached to the perimeter of the downwardly facing opening of the helmet to hang down from the helmet over the shoulders and upper torso of the wearer.

Abstract: A sports goggle provided with power means in the form of a miniature electrical fan mounted within the air space defined by the goggle and the face of the wearer when the goggle is in place. The fan is selectively actuatable by the wearer of the goggle to draw the warm humid air within the air space into the fan, to compress the same therein, and to circulate the same throughout the air space to prevent condensation build-up on the inner surface of the lens structure of the goggle and on eyeglasses of the wearer of the goggle. The fan also urges the circulated warm humid air outwardly of the goggle through air passages provided in the shell of the goggle so that ambient air may enter the goggle to replace the forced out air without admitting snow or other precipitation from the ambient.

Abstract: A safety helmet has a plurality of air vents formed therein in mutually spaced relation. A face shield is affixed to the helmet and has a plurality of air vents formed therein in mutually spaced relation.

Abstract: A fog free ski mask including protective covering material form fitting to the head, the neck, and partial shoulder area of the user, goggles affixed to the material and adapted to fit over corrective lenses of a user, and a breathing apparatus for delivering warm air from a remote area of the body and for delivering exhaled moist and warm air from the body to that remote area. The breathing apparatus of the present invention uses a triangular shaped cup form-fitted over the nose and mouth of the user and fitted snugly to the face of the user by means of a strap connected around the rear neck area of the user. Two detachable tubes are connected to the cup on opposing sides and are of sufficient length to drape around each shoulder or to the front of the user to deliver and receive air from a remote area of the user. The cup, tubes, and strap are disposed underneath the protective material and fit firmly against the face.

Abstract: A face mask for supplying oxygen to personnel such as flight crews during times when there is inadequate air available, has fitted to it a device containing a passageway leading from the interior to the exterior of the mask, and a manually operable, slidable valve stem adapted in a first position to block the exit through the passageway of gas within the mask, and in a second position to open the passageway to permit the flow of gas from the interior to the exterior of the mask. The exit opening from the passageway is located at the upper nose area where it will be encompassed within the cavity of a goggle fitted over the vicinity of the eyes of the user. By manually moving the valve stem to the position where the passageway is open, oxygen from within the face mask is forced into the goggle cavity to flush out from the goggle cavity any smoke or noxious gas which may be present within it.

Abstract: A two-part goggle ventilator includes a pin on one part and a pin receiving opening in the other part providing for quick, convenient and reliable attachment of the ventilator in a complementary aperture in a goggle.
