Adhesive mountable stack of removable layers
An eye protector includes a lens configured to protect the wearer from projectiles, and an optically clear stack attached to the lens. The stack can have one or more removable layers. The eye protector also includes an optically clear dry mount adhesive layer attaching the stack to the lens. The dry mount adhesive may be self-wetting to attach the stack to the lens so that air between the stack and the lens can be removed after the stack is attached and/or adhered to the lens, for example, by applying pressure across the surface of the stack. The refractive indices of the lens, the dry mount adhesive, and each removable layer are matched to within about 0.2.
Brim Shade and Hinge
A brim shade has a shade element, a clip, and a hinge that joins the shade element and the clip to make the brim shade. The shade element and the hinge combine to create a shade that does not allow the light to get past the brim shade. The brim shade can be adjusted through 360 degree rotation and along the side of a hat to provide protection to the wearer.
System and Method for Protective Eyewear
A flip-to-wear eye shield system is provided. By integrating a hinge into elements of the frame and/or the lens, the eye shield can be manufactured and assembled more quickly and with less costs. In an embodiment, a lens may click (or snap) onto molded posts of a frame in a substantially flat position. An integrated living hinge in the frame may bend to allow the lens to flip downwards toward the frame to a second position for use. The posts may also click (or snap) into place in an underside of the frames. In another embodiment, a lens may click (or snap) onto molded posts of a flame in a substantially flat position. An integrated living hinge, formed by notches in the lens, may allow the lens to bend to flip downwards to the frame to a second position for use. A dispenser allows storing the eye shields in the flat position and dispensing in the second position for use.
MAGNETIC GOGGLE LENS CHANGING SYSTEM
A goggle lens is configured for use with a goggle frame having a frame body and a pair of frame engagement members positioned at respective lateral end portions of the frame body. The goggle lens includes a lens rim, and a lens element that is transparent to allow a user to view through the lens element. A pair of lens engagement members are coupled to respective lateral end portions of the lens rim. The pair of lens engagement members are selectively engageable with respective ones of the pair of frame engagement members. The pair of lens engagement members include a locking lens engagement member comprising a first element coupled to the lens rim, and a second element moveably coupled to the first element for facilitating selective engagement and disengagement with the respective one of the pair of frame engagement members.
ASSEMBLED FULL-FACE MASK
An assembled full-face mask includes a goggle, an outer lens, and a mask shell. The outer lens includes a sheet and a pivotal frame that is connected to the sheet. The pivotal frame is assembled to the goggle, and the outer lens is rotatable relative to the goggle along a first axis. The mask shell includes two connection rods assembled to the goggle and a shell body that is connected to the two connection rods. The mask shell is rotatable relative to the goggle along a second axis that is parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis. When one of the outer lens and the mask shell is rotated relative to the goggle by a first angle, another one of the outer lens and the mask shell is rotatable relative to the goggle by a second angle that is less than the first angle.
SNOW GOGGLES ALLOWING DISASSEMBLY
Snow goggles allowing disassembly include a goggle frame, a lens set, a protective pad, and a strap, each rapidly detachable for replacement or cleaning. The goggle frame has a first coupling side with first and second engaging portions, a second coupling side with a third engaging portion, and a peripheral portion with two first fastening units. The lens set includes first and second lenses, a connecting member, and a lens mount with fourth and fifth engaging portions for engagement with the goggle frame. The protective pad has a pad mount with a sixth engaging portion for engagement with the goggle frame. The strap has two ends each with a second fastening unit for engagement with the corresponding first fastening unit.
Goggle lens changing system
A goggle lens is configured for use with a goggle frame having a frame body and a pair of frame engagement members positioned at respective lateral end portions of the frame body. The goggle lens includes a lens rim, and a lens element that is transparent to allow a user to view through the lens element. A pair of lens engagement members are coupled to respective lateral end portions of the lens rim. The pair of lens engagement members are selectively engageable with respective ones of the pair of frame engagement members. The pair of lens engagement members include a locking lens engagement member comprising a first element coupled to the lens rim, and a second element moveably coupled to the first element for facilitating selective engagement and disengagement with the respective one of the pair of frame engagement members.
Apparatus for removably attaching outer lenses to goggles
An apparatus and method for removably attaching a lens to a pair of goggles. The lens has at its periphery a plurality of lens clips, and the goggles has on its frame a matching plurality of frame clips which are designed to attach to the lens clips. Attachment and unattachment may be achieved through actuation of a lens release mechanism. The apparatus allows for the rapid and easy replacement of lenses without necessitating a replacement of the remaining portion of the goggles, a feature which may allow a user to cost-effectively replace damaged or worn lenses, or to utilize a single pair of goggles in a multitude of activities or situations in which advantages may be conferred through or necessity may require the use of a type or style of lens having particular attributes.
PROTECTIVE HOOD
A head protection hood (1) being an integral part of protective clothing (8) for clean rooms, the said hood (1) presents: An external face (2) designed to be in contact with the surrounding environment, An internal face designed to be in contact with the user's head, A section for passing the head through (3), A facial opening (4) at user eye level, and A first and second means of connecting (5) safety glasses (L), the said connection means (5) being fastened to the hood (1) at either side of the facial opening (4).
The said hood includes, once in its package safety glasses (L) fastened to the hood (1) by at least one of the said first and second means of attachment.
Tear-Off Lens Capture
A tear-off capture system includes an eye protector with a base lens. The eye protector has a retention mechanism mounted on one side, and a support mechanism that supports the eye protector on the head of a wearer. A two-tabbed stack of laminated tear-off lenses mounts to the eye protector via an adhesive. The stack mounts so that the first tab of the stack aligns with the first side of the eye protector and the second tab engages with the retention mechanism. Via the second tab and the retention mechanism, released tear-off layers are directed toward the second side of the eye protector away from the base lens. A capturer helps hold the initially released tear-off layer to the eye protector. An exposed tacky surface on each released tear-off helps hold the subsequently removed tear-off layers.
