2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when working such as painting or polishing, it is common to wear working glasses to protect the eyes. Becomes difficult to continue. In particular, when a mask is used together so as not to inhale harmful substances such as dust, the eyeglasses are significantly fogged and become almost invisible in 1 to 2 minutes. Also, in order to protect the eyes without clouding, there are known eyeglasses in which nets are put in place of glass, but it is not possible to block fine dust, and the distance between the nets and the eyes is narrow,
If paint or the like scatters, it enters through the stitches and gets into the eyes.

[0003] Therefore, a dustproof device for painting work is formed by attaching a brim piece to a brim of a helmet with a brim with a fastener made of cloth, and hanging a cellophane part on the brim piece.
No. 4 publication. According to this, the face can be protected from the dust and splashes scattered, and since the distance between the cellophane portion and the face is wide, it is possible to prevent the cellophane portion from being clouded. However, since this item is supported by sandwiching the cellophane part by the brim of the helmet and the brim piece attached to the upper surface of the brim by the fastener made of cloth, the structure of the helmet becomes complicated, and the detaching operation of the cellophane part is performed. Is also troublesome.

Further, since cellophane is soft, it may be extremely dangerous when it is operated on a windy day or at a high place, because it vibrates violently or it rolls up to obstruct the view. In order to prevent this, in the above-described conventional dust protector, the lower corner of the cellophane part and the clothes are fixed with a thread, but it is troublesome and impractical to stop the thread during the actual work. further,
If hard debris such as wood chips, iron chips, and concrete fragments scatter due to polishing or the like, it may be dangerous because it sticks into the cellophane part and cannot protect the face reliably.

The translucent cover protects the face from dust and wind. Since the translucent cover has greater rigidity and hardness than cellophane, it does not shake or blow up violently on windy days or when working in high places, and there is no risk of splattering wood chips, iron chips, etc. piercing. . In addition, the structure in which the translucent cover is hung at the tip of the eaves increases the distance between the face and the translucent cover, which prevents the translucent cover from being clouded by the body temperature of the person wearing it.

The eaves block the scattered dust and paint from falling onto the face. With the configuration that allows the translucent cover to be fitted and removed, it can be easily replaced when the translucent cover is damaged,
It is not necessary to provide a complicated supporting device for supporting the translucent cover on the eaves. In particular, if the translucent cover is made of vinyl plastic, it will become cloudy and invisible when wiping off the paint that has adhered to it with thinner, so it must be thrown away, but only the translucent cover can be easily replaced. You can save money.

Ventilation holes are formed in the translucent cover except for the portion covering the eyes in order to release heat and moisture accumulated inside the translucent cover to enhance the wearing feeling and to make the translucent cover more cloudy. Or, it is better to form a ventilation hole in the eaves. The eaves includes an inner strip wound around the face, an eaves body protruding outward from the inner strip, an outer strip along the tip edge of the eaves body, and an outer strip separated from the eaves body,
A translucent cover may be hung on the outer strip.

The eaves body mounted on the face and the external strip supporting the translucent cover are separated from each other to prevent the body temperature from being transmitted to the translucent cover and suppress the fogging of the translucent cover. To do. In this case, both ends of the outer strip may be pivotally attached to both ends of the inner strip. If the translucent cover interferes with your work, or if heat or moisture is trapped inside the translucent cover,
The translucent cover can be temporarily pushed up by rotating the outer strip upward.

The widest central portion of the eaves main body 4 projects by about 5 cm, and a large number of ventilation holes 7 are formed over the entire surface.
The outer strip 5 is formed by bending a plastic strip or the like into a substantially V-shaped cross section to form an inner strip 8 and an outer strip 9 and projecting an engaging strip 10 inward from the upper end of the inner strip 8. An insertion groove 11 having a depth of about 1 cm and opening upward is formed between 8 and the outer piece 9. Further, the locking piece 10 is adapted to be locked on the upper surface of the tip portion of the eaves body 4.

Both ends of the outer strip 5 are axially attached to both ends of the inner strip 3 via a support shaft 12. Therefore, the outer strip 5
As shown in FIG. 3, it can rotate upward with respect to the inner strip 3, but since the locking piece 10 abuts the upper surface of the eaves main body 4, downward rotation is restricted. Elastic band 6
Is made of thick and strong rubber or the like having a width of about 2 cm, and is attached to the inner strip 3 and the outer strip 5 by the support shaft 12. The inner band 3 and the elastic band 6 circulate around the head of the wearer so that the face protector can be worn.

The transparent cover 2 has a thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.4.
It is made of a transparent plastic sheet such as a hard polypropylene or a hard polyethylene sheet having a rigidity and hardness larger than that of cellophane, and can cover the face.
It has a length of about m. The central portion may be longer than the side portions so that the lower portion of the translucent cover 2 surely covers the nostrils and mouth of the wearer. In addition, a large number of ventilation holes 7 ′ are formed in the translucent cover 2 except for the part that covers the eyes. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper end of the translucent cover 2 is folded back inward to form an insertion piece 13 which is inserted into the insertion groove 11 of the outer strip 5 from above so that the insertion piece 13 can be inserted and removed freely.

In order to wear this face protector, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the transparent cover 2 is bent and curved outward in the central portion, and the insertion piece 13 of the transparent cover 2 is attached to the outer band. The translucent cover 2 is inserted into the insertion groove 11 of the piece 5, and is suspended from the tip edge of the eaves 1 so as to be detachable. Then, the inner strip 3 and the elastic band 6 are wrapped around the head, the eaves 1 is attached to the face, and the translucent cover 2 is hung in front of the face. During the work, the translucent cover 2 gets in the way, and heat and humidity prevent
When it stays inside, the outer strip 5 may be rotated upward to temporarily push up the translucent cover 2.

When the translucent cover 2 is soiled or damaged, the insertion piece 13 of the translucent cover 2 is pulled out upward from the insertion groove 11 of the outer strip 5, and the insertion piece of another translucent cover 2 is inserted. The new transparent cover 2 can be easily replaced by inserting 13 into the insertion groove 11 and hooking it.
It should be noted that one or both of the ventilation hole 7 of the eaves 1 and the ventilation hole 7 ′ of the translucent cover 2 may be omitted.
