UNITED STATES 1,570,254 PATENT OFFICE.
HARRY B. HUIES, OI VENICE, CALIFORNIA SUN-GLADE EYESHIELD.
Application fled April 24, 1924. Serial No. 708,661.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY S. Hours, a citizen of the United States, residing at Venice, 'in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sun-Glare Eyeshields, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to eye, shields.
An object'is to make an eye shield that isreadily adjustable to heads of different sizes, and which is readily adjustable to different conditions.
. Another object is to make a main frame,
Fi 3 is a fragmentary cross section on the hue 3-3-of Fig. 1, and looking 'in the direction indicated by the arrows.
Fig. 4 is a plan of a modified form of the shield plate.
The details of the eye shield shown in the drawings are as follows:
The principal frame 1 is formed of a substantial wire and has straight alined shaft portions 2 and 3, arm portions 4 and 5 extendingdownwardly at right angles to the inner ends of the shaft portions 2 and 3, the nose bridge portion 6 connecting the lower ends of the arm portions 4 and 5 by return bends 7 and 8, and the bow hinge'fittings 9 and 10 upon the outer ends of the shaft portions 2 and 3. The supporting bows 11 and 12 are connected to the fittings 9 and 10 in the usual way. The adjustable support 13 is mounted upon the shaft portion 2 "and the adjustable support 14 is mounted upon the shaft ortion 3.. The adjustable support 13 is ormed of a substantial wire and consists of the straight outer brace bar. 15 having its inner end bent to form a bearing 16 encircling and slidingly and rotatably mounted upon the shaft portion 2. a return bend- 17 at the opposite ,end'of the bar 15 from the bearing 16, an outwardly bowed bearing bar- 18 extending from the return bend 17 'and having a bearing 19 enc1rcling and slidingly and rotatably mounted upon the shaft portion 2. The adjustable support thus constructed is adapted to be moved inwardly or outwardly u on the shaft ortion 2 to fit heads of di erent sizes an so that the bar 18 will engage the. side of a head above and back of the eye.
In a like manner, the adjustable support 14 consists of a brace bar 20, a bearing 21, a return bend 22, a bearing bar 23, and a bearing 24 adjustably mounted upon the shaft portion 3] v The adjustable supports 13 and 14 will turn upwardly or downwardly, and may be moved inwardly or outwardly to provide a wide range of adjustment for differ ent conditions and different heads.
The secondary shaft 25 is mounted parallel with the shaft portions 2 and 3. Links 26 as shown in Fig. 3, one end of the strip being bent tightly around the shaft 25 and the other end of the strip being bent around the shaft portion 3 to form a hinge connection. The shaft 25 is formed of a substantial wire, and arfns 28 and-29' extend from the endsof the shaft forwardly or down wardly substantially at right angles to the shaft and the arms 28 and 29'may be, and preferably are, bowed outwardly between their ends.
outer ends of the shaft 25 by soldering, clamping, or the like, said bearing blocks being formed of ,flat metal and the free ends'jof the fiat metal are bent around the shaft portions 2 and 3 so as to hingedly connect the arms 28 and 29 to the shaft portions 2 and 3. A plate 32 of suitable ma terial such as celluloid vfits in the frame 7 formed by the shaft 25 and the arms 28 and 29, and is held by clips 33', 34, 35 and 36. Each clip .33 to 36 consists of a piece offlat soft metal bent around the frame'member and extending underthe'plate 30 and upwardly-through the plate and; bent outwardly.
The plate 32 is preferably" semi-transparent and maybe colored or tinted, preferably green, as required to protect the eyes of a wearer from thegiare of sunlight or artificial light, such as electric lamps welding and cutting-torches, and the like.
Under ordinary conditions of weather, the parts may be adjusted. so'that. the plate 32 extends forwardly and downwardly rela-- a.
and 27 are formed of strips of flat metal,
Bearing blocks 30 and 31 are secured to the arms 28 and29 and to the tive to the eyes 37 as shown in Fig. 2, and when the conditions are bad as when wind and dirt is attacking the'eyes, the plate 32 may be turned downwardly and engage the nose 38 as indicated by the dotted line 30 so as to protect the eyes from flying material such as the sparks from an emery grinder or a cutting and welding torch or a storm.
Thus I have produced an eye shield having a main frame, including a nose bridge, bearing members adjustably mounted on the main frame to engage the sides of ahead, and a shield adjustably mounted on the main frame and adapted to swing downwardly to engage the face of a wearer.
In the modification of the shield plate shown in Fig. 4, the, plate 40 has an extension portion 41 extending backwardly from the dotted line 42 and having a concaved rear edge 43 to fit against the forehead, the portion ll extending above the adjustable supports 13 and 14 so as to better shield the eyes.
The drawings are more or less diagram matic and suggestive, and it is to be understood that various changes 'may be made without departing from thespirit of the invention as claimed.
I claim: 1. A sun glare eye shield comprising a principal frame formed of a substantial wire having straight alined shaft portions, a nose arms and adapted to be swung from a ver tical position against a nose forwardly and upwardly,
2. A sun glare eye shield comprising a principal frame formed of a substantial wire having straight alined shaft portions, a nose bridge formed between the inner ends of the shaft portions, supporting bows hinged to the outer ends of the shaft portions,.adjustablesupports mounted upon the shaft portions and adapted to be moved inwardly or outwardly andturned upwardly ordownwardly and adapted to engage the side of a head above. and back of the eyes, and a plate hingedly connectedto the shaft portions.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
HARRY S. HUMES.
