4 Claims. I
This invention relates to a goggle and more particularly to the cushion bar which extends across the upper portion of the goggle between the rims to engage the head of the wearer above the eyes.
In the manufacture of goggles having supports of this character, there is provided a non-metallic piece of material which is mounted upon a metal rod that extends from one lens to the other, with this non-metallic material at such a location that it will engage the forehead just above the eyes of the wearer to provide a support for the goggles should the goggles be urged toward the face of the wearer. In order to provide such a non-metallic upport on the rod, the non-metallic support, if in one piece, must be positioned on the rod prior to the soldering of the rod to each of the rims in which event the solder joint shows, as the coloring of the metallic parts of the goggle cannot take place after the non-metallic cushion is positioned without damage to the cushion. Further, if the non-metallic parts are assembled on the bar after the parts are secured in position, the cushion must be in two parts and a longer operation of mounting the cushion in place is necessary.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide an arrangement so that the cushion does not need to be assembled about the metallic rod.
Another object of this invention is to provide a construction having a cushion bar which will be materially less expensive to produce than where the non-metallic cushion is mounted about a metallic support.
Another object of the invention is to provide a non-metallic cushion bar which may be assembled after the metal parts of the frame are in assembled relation and colored by thereafter riveting the cushion bar in place.
Another object of the invention is to utilize the ends of the supporting bar to hold the cushion bar in place.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is an elevation looking at the rear side of the frame with my cushion bar in place;
Figure 2 is a top edge view shown fragmentally;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a fragmental portion of the rim showing the end of the metal bar which is used for attaching the non-metallic bar;
In proceeding with this invention, I solder a metal bar to each of the rims, and turn the ends of the bar rearwardly from the rim' to provide rivets and then assemble a non-metallic cushion bar onto these rivets and cause the rivets to be headed or enlarged which will prevent the bar from being removed from the rivets.
With reference to the drawings, ll] designates the lens rims which are connected at their nasal edges by a bridge II, and there are provided nose pads I2 for supporting the structure on the nose. At the temple edges of the rims, they are divided and provided with end pieces 13 which support temples for mounting upon the head of the wearer.
Attached to each of the rims ID at their upper portions and adjacent the nasal edges of these upper portions, there is a bar M which is secured as by welding or soldering at 15 to each of the rims I0. This bar has a projection l6 extending rearwardly from it, as shown in Figure 4.
A cushion bar of celluloid or some similar material Ii is provided with openings l8 adjacent either end which will fit upon the rearwardly turned projections l6, which projections are then headed or riveted as at I9 so as to hold the cushion bar in position rearwardly of the lenses I0 so that the cushion bar may engage the head of the wearer. In this manner a cushionbar is very simply mounted upon the goggles for use.
I claim:
1. In a goggle, a pair of metallic rims con nected by a bridge, a bar secured to the upper nasal edges of said rims and provided with rearwardly extending projections adjacent its connection to said rims, and a non-metallic cushion bar having holes receiving said projections, said projections being headed over to secure the cushion bar attached thereto.
2. In a goggle as in claim 1 wherein said projections are formed of the same piece of material said bar by turning the ends thereof rearwardly.
3. In a goggle as in claim 1 wherein said projections are headed over the rear surface of the cushion bar.
4. In a goggle as in claim 1 wherein said bars are of substantially the same longitudinal extent.
