Application filed'Deoen ber 4, 1906. serial No. 346.268.

.To all whom it nmy/concern Be it known that I, HARVEY S. CovER, a

citizen of the United States, residing at- South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eye-Guards, of which the following is a specification.-

This invention relates to new and useful "improvements in eye guards or shields for firemen, metal-workers,chauffeurs, and others who are likely to be subjected to the action offumes, gases, wind, grit, dust, &c.

The invention consists in providing aneye-v guard of a single piece of material provided with two lens-holding portions connected by the same member that forms the cushioning part of the guard. I

'cushionin members.

' decreasing in thickness to their the flaring edges'5 being designed to'possess Another object resides in the provision of integral or other reinforcing ribs or elements between the lens-holding members and the cushioning partof th'eguard to prevent the lens-holding portions springing back and partially obscuring the sight when a pull is exerted u' on the head-gear.

I A still urther object is to obviate'the use of cement or other fillings between the lenses and the lens-holding portions.

, both of t 1e ears. and nose-piece per orm not only their usual function, but also act. as In the rawings, Figure I is a face view of the invention. Fig. 2 is an'edge view. Fig.

is a sectional view on theline a a of Fig. 1.

Referring'more particularly to the accom-. panyin drawings, the reference characters. 1 and 2 indicate the lens-holding portions of my improved guard, each 'havin' an annular recess 3 near its outer end for t e reception of the peripheral edges of the corresponding .lenses 4. These liensholding portions each taper rearwardly or downwardiy, gradually aring edges,

such flexibility as to assume proper'positions upon the wearer to fit the orbits of the eyes, regardless of any distortions or wrinkling of the face, due to fumes, gases, grit, wind,- dust, &c. These flaring ortions 5 terminate adjacent the outer en s of the lens-holding portions 1 to provide the ears 5, to which latter may be secured the head-bands 6 by .means of a suitable fastening 7'. Adjacent the inner op osite sides of the lens-holding portion. 8 at the base of the lens-holding portions. Thi'sweb'portion 8 forms the nosebridge'and is provided in .its edge with a recess 9, designed to fit the nose of the wearer.

parts of the lens-holding ortions instead ofxiirectly across the lensolding portions at their outer faces. In the present instance the nose-piece is. of comparatively thin ma terial, permitting of a doubling or folding of one lens-holding portion upon the other,

space, and whereby the guard may be congradually-tapering ortions of the lens-holding members, inc uding the nose-bridge part, form the cushion of the guard, the

aring parts extending beyond the periphcries of the lens-holding parts, as shown.

Thetcharacter 10 indicates .ribs formed integrally with the body of the guard and designed to prevent the lens-holding portions scuring the "sight when a pull is exerted by greater part of the pull by the head-bands u on the flaring or cushioned members being transmitted to the lens holding portions, thus rendering unnecessary the use of means hold the lenses in their seats in the lensholding members. It will thus be under:

is obviated.-

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire ent, is

From the description thus given it'will be 'seen that the nose-piece 8 is formed at the base, or, in other words, atthe inner or rear .veniently carried in ones pocket. ,The

stood that the use of cements, fillings, &c., between the lenses and lens-holding portions portions .1 .t 's flaring portion of the lensoldingportions forms a connecting web.

so that the guard may require but little from bending out of shape and partially obthehead-bands 6. These ribs prevent the I other thanthefiaringor cushioning parts to to secure by Letters Pat- -1. An eye-guard comprising cushion" member. including integral, ;outw'ardly-extending annular walls forming a pair of len's ribs joining the walls of the lens-holding portions and the cushion member.

4. An eye-guard comprising an elastic cushion member-having integral lens portions extending from one side thereof, integral ribs on the Walls of said lensportions to reinforce the same, sulmtantially as described. h In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
