Abstract
Headgear is provided having a head element adapted to be worn by a person and including in combination an eye shield carried by the head element and which may be selectively positioned with respect to the head element in either a shielding or covering position relative to the wearer's eyes or in a stored position. The head element has a section that is positionable on a wearer's forehead in secured relationship by a headband and is formed with a forwardly projecting visor and a storage compartment to contain the eye shield. The storage compartment is formed by spaced apart, rigid walls that are interconnected at their upper ends by a top wall with the bottom of the compartment being open to permit movement of the eye shield into and out of the compartment. The eye shield has a lens structure formed of a generally planar sheet of optically transparent plastic material and is of a configuration to extend across the wearer's eyes terminating in rearwardly extending support arms that pivotally interconnect with the head element whereby the eye shield's lens structure may be swung between a stored position in the compartment and an operative position in front of the wearer's eyes. A detent mechanism is incorporated in the structure to hold the eye shield in a selected position on the head element and out of contacting engagement with the wearer's nose.
