Abstract
A curved optical eye shield removably attached to a single set of arms that connect to an elastomerically operated tensioning system that is formed by two pulleys separated by a rotating armature held in place by a mounting mechanism. The eye shield rotates from a normal viewing position to an out of viewing position above the forehead. The elastomerically operated tensioning system uses a to apply clockwise tension to keep the eye shield held firmly in the viewing position, and when the eye shield is manually lifted toward the out of viewing position above the forehead, tension is applied to the reverse direction to keep the eye shield held firmly in the out of view position.
