ADJUSTABLE EYE-SHIELD I Filed April 50, 1941 Patented July 25, 1944 2,354,415 ADJUSTABLE EYESHIELD Raymond G. Woodard, East Orange, N. J., as-
signor to Standard Safety Equipment Co., a corporation of Illinois Application April 30, 1941, Serial No. 391,195
1 Claim.
This invention relates to a protective device for the human eyes and face, and more particularly to an improved harness for adjustably supporting a transparent eye-shield on the head of a wearer. v
The primary object of the invention is to provide an improved adjustable support for a face and head protective device of the character shown in Bowers Patent No. 2,194,492, issued March 26, 1940.
A further object of the invention is to provide a flexible brow-band on which is mounted a relatively stiff or rigid eye-shield which may be adjusted forwardly or rearwardly to suit the convenience of the wearer while the flexible browband is in position. The adjustments can be made Without removing the harness and without materially distorting the arcuate head-band or the protective face piece.
The invention is illustrated in a preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevational view, showing the eye-shield carried by a harness attached to a mans head; Figure 2, a fragmentary top plan view of the same; and Figure 3, a fragmentary sectional view, taken as indicated at line 3 of Figure l.
In the embodiment illustrated, an arcuate headband 4 is made of a relatively heavy and stii cardboard. Each of its ends is provided with a pair of slots 5 through which the exible browband may be threaded. A relatively stiff eye- Shield has a transparent window 6 enclosed in a netal protective frame I and attached to a supvIorting sector 8 by means of headed cotter pins lr fasteners 9. The sector 8, if desired, may be continued upwardly, as indicated at IIJ, to provide a top shield for the forehead and glasses of the wearer. The sector 8 is pivotally connected to the head-band 4 by spring pivots II. The pivots II are arranged so that the eye-shield may be swung upwardly over the head-band, if desired.
The brow-band preferably comprises a strip of elastic material I2 which is threaded through the slots 5 in the head-band and is connected at its ends to form a ring by means of a simple adjustable garter fastener I3. 1f desired, the front of the brow-band may be provided with a sweat-band I4.
It has been found in practice that workmen wearing a substantially rigid eye-shield of this type like to keep it as close to their faces or eye glasses as possible in order to obtain the maximum protection. As the devices are often used by severaldiierent workmen, it is important that a forward and rearward 'adjustment can be made as easily as possible when the device is on the head of the wearer, for itis only in this position that the desirable adjustment can be ascertained. Accordingly, with the present invention it is merely necessary to adjust the length of the elastic band I2 to the proper head size and the eye-shield and arcuate band 4 may be moved back and forth as a unit to a desired position. In this movement the band I2 slides through all four of the slots in the arcuate member 4.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom for some modiiications will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
I claim:
An adjustable eye-shield harness, comprising: an arcuate transverse head-band of stiff mater ia l adapted to rest on the top of the head of a man and extend towards his ears, each end of said head-band being slotted to receive a brow-band; an eye-shield of stiff material pivotally mounted on the end portions of said head-band; and a brow-band adapted to encircle the mans head and threaded through the slots in the head-band RAYMOND G. WOODARD.
