DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring now to the drawings there is shown generally at 10 the eye protection transparent shield of the present invention in combination with a headgear, herein in the form of a sweatband 11.
The shield comprises a visor 12 herein formed of transparent plastic material and defining opposed side connecting portions 13 having a hole 19 for pivotal connection to the headgear by receiving on the pivot post 14 provided on each side of the sweatband llthrethrough. A flanged end nut (not shown) connects to the top of the post 14 to retain the visor. The visor 12 also defines an eye viewing portion 15 and has a nose support piece 16.
The visor 12 is pivotally connected to the sweatband by a pivotal locking mechanism 17 as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 whereby to attach each of the opposed side connecting portions 13 of the visor to the headband. It is pointed out that the headgear could also be in the form of a cap, visor or helmet or other suitable form of headgear fitted on the weareris head 18.
As better seen in Figures 3 and 4, the pivotal locking mechanism has a pivot connection formed by the pivot post 14 which is secured to the headband or a headgear (not shown) and as shown in this preferred embodiment, it is secured to a visor attaching member 20, as will be described in detail later on. The pivot connection 17 also has a guide means in the form of a curved slot, herein an arcuate slot 21 disposed at a predetermined distance with respect to the pivot post 14 and extends on an arc from the center 14' of the pivot post. The slot 21 has opposed terminal ends 22 which have a curved shape whereby to accommodate resiliently biased slot engaging member or post 23. The curved slot need lS not be disposed on an arc and could have a different curved shape.
As shown in Figure 5 the resiliently biased slot engaging post 23 has a base 24 having shoulder portions 25 held captive within a guide channel 26 formed by opposed channel members 27 secured to the underside of the visor attaching member 20. A slot 28 is formed in the visor attaching member 20 to permit axial displacement of the slot engaging post 23 along a straight axis towards the pivot post 14. This slot 28 may be a - very short slot to permit this movement. An elastic loop or band 30 is disposed about the slot engaging post 23 and the pivot post 14 and applies a pulling force on the post 23 in the direction of arrow 31, as shown in Figure 4 so that a continuous retention or pulling force applied against the inner edge 21' of the slot 21. As herein shown, the elastic loop 30 is disposed under the visor 12 but it is conceivable that it could also be disposed above the visor. As also shown in Figure 5, the base 24 of the slot engaging post 23 has an upper flange wall 29 and a recess threaded bolt 32 dimensioned such that the visor 12 is displaceable along its slot 21 between its terminal ends 22. The bolt 32 has a threaded shaft 33 threadably secured within the threaded bore 34 of the base 24.
S Referring more specifically to Figures 2 and 3, there will be described the construction of the visor attaching member 20 which is removably secured to the headband or sweatband 11. This visor attaching member 20 is formed of plastic material and has a guide slot 40 disposed at an angle, and spaced from the opposed ends of the band forwardly of the slot 28. An attaching post 41 is secured to the headgear 11 and projects into the guide slot 40 when the visor is assembled on the headband whereby to provide limited displacement of the visor 12 with respect to the wearer's eyes 42. The visor attaching member 20 is also provided with fastening means in the form of Velcro tabs 43 at the terminal ends thereof for matting attachment to a larger Velcro tab 44 secured to the headgear. Accordingly, to adjust the position of the visor with respect to the wearer's eyes, it is necessary to disconnect the Velcro tabs 43 and move the visor towards or away from the wearer's eyes, as shown by arrow 45 in Figure 3 and then to reconnect the tabs 43 and 44 together at the proper position of the visor. This provides an efficient and simple adjusting mechanism.
As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the pivot post as well as the slot engaging post 23 are of circular cross-section. The visor 12 is also molded from clear plastic material and has a certain flexible tolerance whereby to adapt to heads of different widths. The visor attaching member 20 is also formed of flexible plastic material whereby to fit to heads of different sizes and shapes. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the visor is in its position of use as shown at 47, the slot engaging means which is the post 23 is engaged with the top terminal end 22' of the arcuate slot 21. When in its position of non-use, as shown at 48 the engaging post 23 is at the bottom terminal end 22" of the slot, as illustrated in phantom in Figure 4. The post is stationary and the visor is displaced. The elastic band 30 has a predetermined tensil force whereby to exert a predetermined pulling force in the direction of arrow 31 when the biasing slot engaging post 23 is at the terminal ends of the slot. The maximum pulling force is, of course, applied at the center of the slot as the visor is being lifted or lowered from its position of use or position of non-use. It can, therefore, be seen that as the visor is lifted or lowered and the post 23 passes the middle portion of the slot, it applies a maximum pulling force on the arcuate inner edge 21' of the slot causing the visor to automatically move to its position of use 47 or position of non-use 48 as it passes this middle portion.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the headband 11 has a frontal sweatband portion 50 secured to an angulated rear adjustable band 51 and an adjustable rear top band 52.
It is also contemplated that the slot engaging post be biased by other means than an elastic band 30. For example, the post could be molded with the visor attaching member 20 and be connected by an arcuate bridge piece formed with the member 20 and disposed within a slot opening. The bridge piece would apply the retention pulling force on the post back in the direction of arrow 31.
Accordingly, this slot engaging post could be formed integral with the attaching member 20 or simply secure to an arcuate bridge piece standing in a slot.
It is within the habit of the present invention to cover any obvious modifications of the preferred embodiment described herein, provided such modifications follow within the scope of the appended claims.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring now to the drawings there is shown generally at 10 the eye protection transparent shield of the present invention in combination with a headgear, herein in the form of a sweatband 11.
The shield comprises a visor 12 herein formed of transparent plastic material and defining opposed side connecting portions 13 having a hole 19 for pivotal connection to the headgear by receiving on the pivot post 14 provided on each side of the sweatband llthrethrough. A flanged end nut (not shown) connects to the top of the post 14 to retain the visor. The visor 12 also defines an eye viewing portion 15 and has a nose support piece 16.
The visor 12 is pivotally connected to the sweatband by a pivotal locking mechanism 17 as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 whereby to attach each of the opposed side connecting portions 13 of the visor to the headband. It is pointed out that the headgear could also be in the form of a cap, visor or helmet or other suitable form of headgear fitted on the weareris head 18.
As better seen in Figures 3 and 4, the pivotal locking mechanism has a pivot connection formed by the pivot post 14 which is secured to the headband or a headgear (not shown) and as shown in this preferred embodiment, it is secured to a visor attaching member 20, as will be described in detail later on. The pivot connection 17 also has a guide means in the form of a curved slot, herein an arcuate slot 21 disposed at a predetermined distance with respect to the pivot post 14 and extends on an arc from the center 14' of the pivot post. The slot 21 has opposed terminal ends 22 which have a curved shape whereby to accommodate resiliently biased slot engaging member or post 23. The curved slot need lS not be disposed on an arc and could have a different curved shape.
As shown in Figure 5 the resiliently biased slot engaging post 23 has a base 24 having shoulder portions 25 held captive within a guide channel 26 formed by opposed channel members 27 secured to the underside of the visor attaching member 20. A slot 28 is formed in the visor attaching member 20 to permit axial displacement of the slot engaging post 23 along a straight axis towards the pivot post 14. This slot 28 may be a - very short slot to permit this movement. An elastic loop or band 30 is disposed about the slot engaging post 23 and the pivot post 14 and applies a pulling force on the post 23 in the direction of arrow 31, as shown in Figure 4 so that a continuous retention or pulling force applied against the inner edge 21' of the slot 21. As herein shown, the elastic loop 30 is disposed under the visor 12 but it is conceivable that it could also be disposed above the visor. As also shown in Figure 5, the base 24 of the slot engaging post 23 has an upper flange wall 29 and a recess threaded bolt 32 dimensioned such that the visor 12 is displaceable along its slot 21 between its terminal ends 22. The bolt 32 has a threaded shaft 33 threadably secured within the threaded bore 34 of the base 24.
S Referring more specifically to Figures 2 and 3, there will be described the construction of the visor attaching member 20 which is removably secured to the headband or sweatband 11. This visor attaching member 20 is formed of plastic material and has a guide slot 40 disposed at an angle, and spaced from the opposed ends of the band forwardly of the slot 28. An attaching post 41 is secured to the headgear 11 and projects into the guide slot 40 when the visor is assembled on the headband whereby to provide limited displacement of the visor 12 with respect to the wearer's eyes 42. The visor attaching member 20 is also provided with fastening means in the form of Velcro tabs 43 at the terminal ends thereof for matting attachment to a larger Velcro tab 44 secured to the headgear. Accordingly, to adjust the position of the visor with respect to the wearer's eyes, it is necessary to disconnect the Velcro tabs 43 and move the visor towards or away from the wearer's eyes, as shown by arrow 45 in Figure 3 and then to reconnect the tabs 43 and 44 together at the proper position of the visor. This provides an efficient and simple adjusting mechanism.
As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the pivot post as well as the slot engaging post 23 are of circular cross-section. The visor 12 is also molded from clear plastic material and has a certain flexible tolerance whereby to adapt to heads of different widths. The visor attaching member 20 is also formed of flexible plastic material whereby to fit to heads of different sizes and shapes. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the visor is in its position of use as shown at 47, the slot engaging means which is the post 23 is engaged with the top terminal end 22' of the arcuate slot 21. When in its position of non-use, as shown at 48 the engaging post 23 is at the bottom terminal end 22" of the slot, as illustrated in phantom in Figure 4. The post is stationary and the visor is displaced. The elastic band 30 has a predetermined tensil force whereby to exert a predetermined pulling force in the direction of arrow 31 when the biasing slot engaging post 23 is at the terminal ends of the slot. The maximum pulling force is, of course, applied at the center of the slot as the visor is being lifted or lowered from its position of use or position of non-use. It can, therefore, be seen that as the visor is lifted or lowered and the post 23 passes the middle portion of the slot, it applies a maximum pulling force on the arcuate inner edge 21' of the slot causing the visor to automatically move to its position of use 47 or position of non-use 48 as it passes this middle portion.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the headband 11 has a frontal sweatband portion 50 secured to an angulated rear adjustable band 51 and an adjustable rear top band 52.
It is also contemplated that the slot engaging post be biased by other means than an elastic band 30. For example, the post could be molded with the visor attaching member 20 and be connected by an arcuate bridge piece formed with the member 20 and disposed within a slot opening. The bridge piece would apply the retention pulling force on the post back in the direction of arrow 31.
Accordingly, this slot engaging post could be formed integral with the attaching member 20 or simply secure to an arcuate bridge piece standing in a slot.
It is within the habit of the present invention to cover any obvious modifications of the preferred embodiment described herein, provided such modifications follow within the scope of the appended claims.
