Abstract
The present invention relates to a face shield made of pliable plastic with metals pieces and plastic adapters with magnets, which the face shield attaches to. It is mainly designed for people who wear eyeglasses, allowing for the face shield to connect onto the eyeglass arms.
The clear plastic is thin enough to be pliable and will be of an oval or oblong shape to guarantee full coverage of the face. The pliable plastic with the metal pieces attached to it, and the plastic adapters with the magnet pieces attached to it will have no contact to the wearer's skin at any point. The plastic adapters will allow the wearer to adjust the face shield accordingly as close or further from the face as they will feel comfortable wearing it due to it's ability to pivot, closer as a pantoscopic tilt if they feel the need to be more protected or as a retroscopic tilt, further away from the face which will allow the wearer either more air to circulate and be able to breathe better.
Claims
1. A face shield which comprises: a pliable plastic shield with metal pieces attachments that gets attached to the eyeglasses by connecting with a plastic insert with magnets attached to the it, binding the shield and eyeglasses together as one unit.
2. The face shield of claim 1, wherein the shield connects to the eyeglasses with the connection made by the metal pieces and the magnets coming together.
3. A face shield which comprises: a plastic insert with magnets attached to it that fits, slides or snaps over each arm of the eyeglasses.
4. The face shield of claim 2, wherein the plastic insert with magnets attached to it, is placed on both arms of the eyeglasses to allow contact of the face shield, offering the ease of application with just a snap on and snap off effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0029] The pliable plastic can be cut in an oval or oblong shape as well as any other shape desired (FIG. 1) in an average size of 12′ inches in width and 9½ inches length. The metal pieces attached to it (FIG. 1.1, 1.2) can be adjusted to different lengths and widths as required. Due to it's pliable state, the face shield starts off as a flat object but then becomes bendable to conform to the shape required when being mounted and attached to the eyeglass arms (FIG. 4).
[0030] The plastic adapter with a length of about 1¾ inches (FIG. 6, 7), with the two magnets attached to it (FIG. 6.1, 6.2) gets fitted over each of the arms of the eyeglass frame (FIG. 11, 12) with the magnets facing outward from the wearer's temple on both sides (FIG. 13) .The adapters are symmetrical which allows them to be alternated from either arm of the eyeglass frame. The magnets are set approximately ¼ inch apart from each other, as negative and positive to allow the shield to be able to be moved closer or further away from the face (FIG. 16), and also to pivot, closer as a pantoscopic tilt (FIG. 17) or further away from the face as a retroscopic tilt (FIG. 18).
