Definitions
- This invention relates generally, to a safety cap for protecting the wearer against industrial hazards and, more particularly, relates to an eye shield which is detachably secured to the cap in a manner to assure a rigid and reliable mounting.
- eye shields have been provided for safety hats and caps, which shields have generally been mounted on the brim portion thereof. These have not been entirely satisfactory since relatively complicated fastening means have been required for mounting the shield on the hat or cap and which have involved difliculty and consumed considerable time for attaching and detaching the shield.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome the above-named disadvantages of well-known shield mountingsA by providing an eye shield of such construction that it may be easily and quickly attached to or detached from a safety cap.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an eye shield of relatively simple and inexpensive construction.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of an eye shield embodying the principles of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. l;
- FIG. 3 is a side view ⁇ of a safety cap having mounted thereon the shield shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the assembly shown in FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged, cross-section taken along line V-V of FIG. 4.
- numeral 1 generally denotes an eye shield of any suitable flexible transparent plastic material, having a top edge portion which is cut-out Ialong the sides thereof beginning at the edge 5 and which has hooked end portions 4.
- the front body portion 2 of the eye shield is suiciently higher to cover the eyes of the wearer and, in
- FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the manner in which shield 1 is mounted on a safety cap i8 of light weight rigid plastic material, which cap has a front brim portion 8a.
- a headband suspension is mounted in the safety cap, which suspension comprises an integral crown strap having radiating arms 10 of soft plastic material, such as polyethylene and terminating in perforated end portions onto which the upwardly projecting portions 12 of a palstic headband 11 of the same or similar material may be attached by integral beads or collar buttons 12a which are selectively inserted through holes of different height to adjust the headband to the wearers head size.
- studs or anchors for the suspension comprising deformable plastic beads or collar buttons 9 integrally formed at the ends of straps or arms 10 which project through the inwardly recessed side panels of the cap (see FIG. 3).
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged, cross-section through the front anchor for the suspension showing how the hooked end portion 4 of the shield 1 is hooked onto the shank of the plastic button or rivet 9 so as to form a rm point of suspension, which portion 4 is wedged between strap 10 and safety cap 8. Since button 9 is of yieldable plastic material, it may be forced vthrough holes in the sides of cap -8 and swaged in place.
- the eye shield 1 is mounted on the safety cap by iirst hooking one end portion 4 onto the shank of button 9, as illustrated in FIG. 5, and by thereafter resting the flanged stop element 6 on top of the center of brim portion 8a, as shown in FIG. 4, and by finally hooking the other end portion 4 in the same manner as vshown in FIG. 5, but on the opposite side of the safety cap.-
- the front portion 2 of the shield will be on the outside of the brim while ythe side portions 3 ⁇ will be flexed inwardly so as to be located on the inside of the cap, startmg at edge 5, as shown more clearly in FIG. 3.
- a safety headgear including a brim and having a supporting element projecting inwardly from each interior side surface thereof, a shield of transparent, flexible plastic material projecting substantially vertically downwardly from the front edge of said brim for protecting at least the eyes of the wearer, said shield having a stop element projecting substantially at right angles from the top central edge thereof which is sup- .ported on the top surface of said brim, the top, central 2.
- said headgear is a safety cap.
