Abstract: |
Safety goggles, particularly useful as work goggles, having temples disposed on and inclinable relative to a frame having lenses and side guards. In accordance with the invention, a protrusion which serves as a swivel bearing is mounted on each of the opposite side guards, and a swivel bearing appendage having a recess therein is adapted to be pressed onto the protrusion. The temple is hingedly connected to the swivel bearing appendage, whereby to permit pivotal movement of the temple relative to the swivel bearing appendage and thus to the goggle frame. The swivel bearing appendage is inherently elastic, permitting a portion of the swivel bearing appendage to grip the back surface of the side guard. A holder appendage portion of the temple may also grip the back surface of the side guard. The temple can have its angle of vertical inclination adjusted relative to the frame due to the angularly adjustable engagement of the swivel bearing appendage with the protrusion on the side guard, since the temple is moveable with the swivel bearing appendage.

What is claimed is:
1. Safety goggles including temples disposed on and inclinable relative to a frame having lenses and side guards, comprising:
- swivel bearing means defined by a platelike protrusion integrally formed on said side guards of said frame and including a ring member having abutments positioned opposite each other on the periphery of said ring member, said ring member being secured to the outer periphery of said platelike protrusion of said swivel bearing means;
- swivel bearing appendage means connected to each of said temples, each of said swivel bearing appendage means being inherently elastic and having inner swivel bearing recesses for cooperative mating with said abutments on said ring member of said swivel bearing means, said recesses being adapted to lock said swivel bearing appendage means to said side guards of said frame, said swivel bearing appendage means being inclinable with respect to a plane perpendicular to said side guards of said frame;
- said temples and said swivel bearing appendage means defining a subassembly and a portion of said subassembly gripping said side guards of said frame from behind in a form fitting manner to secure said subassembly to said side guard of said frame.
