| Abstract: |
A combination visor and sweatband for protecting the eyes and surrounding peri-ocular areas and for absorbing and evaporating perspiration from the upper facial area is disclosed. The combination visor and head band includes an absorbent, elastic sweatband encircling the head of the user. A visor is secured to the lower edge of the sweatband extending downwardly adapted to shade the eyes of the user. The head band is cooperable with detachable fasteners on the eyeshield so the visor may be secured to the eyeshield. In one embodiment, bendable stays are imbedded in the material of the visor so that the visor can be conformed to any shape desired by the user. In another embodiment, the depending visor extends annularly around the entire lower edge of the sweatband so the sweatband can be rotated when the portion at the user's forehead becomes saturated with moisture.

I claim:
1. Headgear adapted for use with an eyeshield of the type including eye protecting lenses supported on a lens frame worn by a user, said headgear comprising:
- (a) a head band adapted to encircle the head of the user and positionable in retained relationship thereon on a person's head, at least a portion of said head band being constructed of a material which is elasticized and stretchable and moisture absorbent said portion forming a section adapted to bear on and closely conform to the forehead of the user;
- (b) a flexible visor attached to said head band at said section and extending along its entire length from the head band forwardly therefrom, said visor having an outer edge;
- (c) fastener means on said visor adapted to engage the said lens frame whereby said visor is extendable and securable between the head band and said frame to form a protective shield fully extending in the peri-ocular area between the forehead of the user and the frame, with said eye protecting lenses held in a position whereby moisture accumulation on the lenses is minimized and the entire peri-ocular area is substantially shielded from solar rays.
