Abstract: |
A protective eyeshield (10) with detachable components is disclosed. The eyeshield consists of a detachable lens (11) maintained in a frame (12) by notches (46 and 48) on the lens which cooperate with brackets (50 and 51) on the frame and by insertion of the side edges (44) of the lens into slots (20) in the frame, The eyeshield is held in place on the head of the wearer by a strap (13) attached to a rotatable connector (14) attached to the frame, The connector's rotatability allows the position of the strap to be adjusted to the wearer. An optional eyeglass frame (15) having eyeglass lenses (68) mounted therein may be attached to the eyeshield frame to form a part of the eyeshield for simultaneous wearing of eyeglasses with the eyeshield.
