| Abstract: |
An eyeshield is provided which includes at least one and preferably a population of several like transparent lenses, each tinted or otherwise suited for a certain use or uses. Each of the lenses has an upper margin contoured to extend about and follow the frontal portion of the head, the upper margin terminating at opposite ends located near the temples. Each or both of the ends of the upper margin are provided with a slot. The eyeshield also includes an expandable, launderable headband fashioned from cloth inner and outer panels stitched together along their upper and side borders to cooperatively define a pocket to receive the upper margin of the lens. Projecting through the pocket is a pair of tacks disposed to be received into the slot located at each end of the lens. To mount a selected lens to a headband, one end of the lens margin is positioned in the pocket such that the tack registers with the slot. By expanding or stretching the pocket, the remainder of the upper margin of the lens is positioned in the pocket whereupon the tack at the other end registers with the slot of the remaining margin end.
