First Claim:
Show all 5 claims |
We claim:
1. A device for protecting a wearer's eyes against light comprising
- first and second eye cups joined together by a bridge, with said eye cups being mirror images of each other,
- each of said eye cups being generally oblong as viewed from the front with a flat top and a flat bottom joined by inner and outer sides, with said inner and outer sides of each of said oblong eye cups shorter than said top and bottom of said eye cup so that said top will fit below the brow of the wearer and said bottom will fit above the cheekbone of the wearer when the device is in place on the wearer,
- with said inner and outer sides of each of said eye cups having a front-to-rear length to form a substantially flat front surface with a lens opening and a lens positioned in said lens opening,
- with said outer side of each of said eye cups projecting rearwardly at least about twice as far as said inner side and with said top and bottom of each of said eye cups having concave curved rear edges, and
- with said bridge and said eye cup tops substantially in parallel horizontal planes, and with said bridge having an arch extending forwardly of said eye cups so that said eye cups and bridge do not contact the wearer's nose when the device is in place on the wearer;
- said eye protection device being a unitary molded piece with said top, bottom and sides forming a closed cup except for the said lens opening.
