Patent number: 4785481Abstract: The device is in the form of a pair of specially designed glasses, goggles or an eye mask sealingly engaging the wearer's head. In each case, a frame includes a front support bearing one or more transparent, preferably prescription-ground lenses or eye shields, and a pair of side supports connected thereto. Components are connected to or built into the frame to allow free passage of air to the eyes while blocking contaminant-bearing liquids and solids. Thus, in one embodiment, eyeglasses are fitted with two sets of triangular preferably air permeable flexible sheets. One set of sheets depends from the side supports and is connected to the sides of the front support, with the other pair is connected to the side and front supports above the latter, being connected at its rear end to slides in the top of side support channels to permit easy folding of the glasses. In two other embodiments, goggles and eye masks bear air vents fitted with liquid and solid-blocking filters.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1987Date of Patent: November 22, 1988Inventors: Francis R.

Patent number: 4751746Abstract: A protector which may be readily mounted on a temple of glasses. The protector will extend from the front of the glasses to and beyond the ear piece of the temple so that there will be protection against wind and sun for one's eyes, the side of the face and one's ears. Preferably the protector is formed of a cloth having insulating characteristics and may include an inner rear panel which together with a rear portion of an outer panel defines an ear receiving pocket into which the rear and top portion of one's ear may be tucked for protection. The outer panel is provided with a sleeve arrangement for receiving the temple and this sleeve arrangement may be in the form of spaced short sleeves or elongated sleeves.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1986Date of Patent: June 21, 1988Inventor: Robby J.

Patent number: 4726075Abstract: A disposable and readily removable universal side shield for a variety of styles of eyeglasses. Each side shield is specifically constructed to fit on either the left or right side of the eyeglasses. Each shield includes a flexible sheet including a base portion having an adhesive on an inner face for attaching to the top and sides of an eyeglass lens frame and a generally bell-shaped shield portion. At least three spaced slits extend from the base edge into the shield portion and are sufficiently close to allow the material between adjacent slits to be torn out by hand, forming a slot in a selected position. The slot receives a bow of the eyeglasses so that the shield straddles the bow along the inside of the bow when the shield is in place. The side shield closes the area between the lens and the eye of the wearer to wind, dirt, and the like when the shield is in use.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1986Date of Patent: February 23, 1988Inventor: Matthew T.

Metal shielding plates are attached on the upper side of the frame as well as at the hinge ends of both mounting arms. The shielding plates stretch across the respective free regions between the frame and the face of the user. The mounting rims in which the protective filters are received as well as their connecting bridge are at least partially made of the same metal as the shielding plates.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1986Date of Patent: November 3, 1987Assignee: Carl-Zeiss-StiftungInventors: Hermann Schurle, Wolfgang Grimm, Heinz-Wilhelm Paysan

Patent number: 4630321Abstract: A pair of safety spectacles incorporates a brow-protecting bar member which is formed separately from the spectacle frame and is anchored thereto only at its ends, by means of the hinge pins attaching the temples to the frame. The frame and brow bar therefore have such freedom to flex back and forth with respect to each other as to provide a cushioning effect absorbing impact on the frame from the front after the brow bar engages the brow of the wearer, and this engagement is also made more comfortable by providing the brow bar with a brow-engaging flange of substantial height which extends the full length of the brow bar.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1986Date of Patent: December 23, 1986Assignee: H.

Patent number: 4547909Abstract: Eye protection means for use in combination with eye wear, such as safety glasses, having a brow guard in the form of a surface extending from the upper portion of the eye wear to a portion closely adjacent to the brow of the wearer. In one embodiment of the invention the eye protection means comprises magnetic dust collecting means formed of a ferromagnetic material for securement to the brow guard and arranged so that air-born dust particles falling thereon become trapped thereon, thereby decreasing the potential for entering the eye of the wearer. In another embodiment the dust collecting means comprises at least one layer of material arranged to be secured to the brow guard of the safety glasses and having an adhesive upper surface arranged to trap air-born dust particles falling thereon so as to decrease the potential for such particles entering the eye of the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1983Date of Patent: October 22, 1985Inventor: Michael Bell
