Abstract
A face shield frame apparatus having a head worn frame assembly to which a face shield can be detachably coupled. The frame assembly includes a pair of generally parallel, spaced apart side members which are joined to a front member, which is supported by the wearer's nose or forehead. One or more receptacles are provided on the frame assembly which slidably engage one or more latch arms associated with the face shield support, or conversely, the receptacle may be attached to the face shield support and the latch arm attached to the frame assembly. The latch arm has a locking tab which fits within a slot on the receptacle to lock the latch arm to the receptacle when the latch arm is inserted into the receptacle. The latch arm can also be removed from the receptacle by depressing the locking tab so that it disengages from the slot.
