The present invention relates to an eye protector removably attached to a helmet and consisting of a sight portion and associated handrails attached to the side of the helmet.

In workplaces where a helmet has to be worn and where eye protection is necessary either from time to time or continuously, it is advantageous to use the eye shield according to the invention, as the shield can be easily moved to and from the shielding position and does not interfere with work or other head protection. .Protective movement through the helmet magazine and thus positioning under the helmet magazine in the protective position prevents the guard from .wetting with rain in outdoor work. The shield also comes close to the face, so that even a small shield covers a large enough area of the face for eye protection. If necessary, parts of the face other than the eyes and their immediate surroundings can also be protected by using an additional helmet attached to the helmet. By appropriately coloring the sight portion of the eye shield, that shield can be used as a screen shield for a gas welder. It is also possible to put a polaroid or other anti-glare coating on the eye protection and in the eye.

Various screen protectors are already known which protect the eyes well, but which are difficult to use. In addition, attaching these protectors to a helmet is often a complex and expensive mechanism. In addition, due to the difficulty of using previously known screen protectors, the screen protector is often not used, e.g. in temporary abrasion work, in which case the risk of accidents is obvious. The same applies to eye protection used in forestry work. The object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks.

The invention is characterized in that the movement of the sight part into and out of the protective position takes place through an opening corresponding to the shape of the sight part made in the helmet shell. Said movement is controlled, in addition to the opening of the magazine, by handles with a longitudinal slot made at the outer ends, together with pin-like fastening members on each side of the helmet, as hinges, and as means for regulating the length of the handles.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. 1 shows a helmet and eye protection seen from the side. FIGURE 2 shows Figure 1 from above

On both sides of the helmet 1, eye protection handrails 4 are attached by fastening members 2 (rivets, rags, etc.). The sight part 5 of the eye protection moves through the opening 8 of the lip 6 of the helmet 1, which at the same time controls the movement of the protection. When the guard is out of the guard position tends to, gravity pulls it to the guard position. To prevent this, a locking member can be added to the structure to keep the guard out of the guard position.

The locking member 3 can be located at a place other than that shown in the figures, and can be of any construction, as long as it fulfills the task assigned to it, i.e. keeps the guard out of the protection position.

By selecting the position of the fastening member 2 from the vertical axis when looking at the helmet from the side, the lower edge of the sight part 5 is obtained at the desired distance from the face.

The lifespan of an eye shield is often shorter than that of a helmet. Therefore, the helmet must be easy to remove from the helmet. In this case, the detachment takes place by removing the hinge pins and lifting the loop part out of the opening of the dowel box. With a new guard, the mounting is done in the reverse order.

The eye protection insert 7 is shaped so as to have an opening the size of the sight part 5 according to Figures 4 and 5. Any suitable material can be selected as the material of the additional cover 7. The attachment of the additional protection 7 to the helmet takes place, for example, with snaps or the like with suitable connecting members.

By appropriately staining the sight part 5, said shield can be used as an eye protector for a gas welder.

Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5 show a solid line shield with the shield out of the shielding position and a broken line with the shield in the shielding position.
