Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Snow-goggles comprising a visor adapted to be disposed substantially above the eyes and to project away from the forehead of a wearer, a transparent screen pending from the forward edge of said visor and adapted to pivot thereon so that the bottom portion of the screen moves away from the face of the wearer, a protective band made of soft material mounted about the lower edge and part of the sides of the screen, the said band adapted to rest on the nose of the wearer and provide interstices at both ends of the band between the screen and the face of the wearer.
  • ski-mask which protects their eyes against the glare of the snow, the cold and the wind and which is held on the face by a rubber band.
  • the mask is applied against the face in a practical airtight way by a cushion fitted all round its edge.
  • skiers utilize the two types of goggles for their respective qualities, but they must then have two pairs.
  • the object of the invention is to supply a single pair of snow-goggles uniting the characteristics of the two above mentioned articles and consequently offering the advantages and qualities of both.
  • snow-goggles in question are characterized by that they combine at the same time the mask and the goggles with a liftable screen, and it is only necessary to fit or take away one element to obtain the desired utilization.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is composed of a rigid frontal visor with an elastic fixing ribbon articulated by means of lateral pivots, a transparent screen held in the groove of an upper frame is foreseen to this effect.
  • a removable protection band made of a soft material fixed by being hooked on a rim of the edge of the ocular.
  • FIG. I is a front elevation view of the new goggles.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view ofthe goggles.
  • FIG. 4 is a view along section line IV-IV of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 5 is a view along section line V-V of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 6 is a view along section line VI-VI ofFlG. 2.
  • FIG. 7 is a view along section line VII-VII of FIG. 2.
  • F IG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 5 with the ventilation open.
  • 1 is the visor made of a rigid transparent plastic material on which is hinged, by means of two pivots 2, a transparent screen or ocular 3, which can be raised as shown by the dotted lines in FIG. 3.
  • the free edge 4 of the T-shaped visor 1 is held in a correspondingly shaped groove in the headband 5 made of soft plastic material, in the inner face of which is glued a cushion 6 made of sufficiently supple material.
  • this visor l are cut two openings 7 which receive two ventilating fins 8 having a right angular. shape. These fins 8 are made of a hard plastic material. The pivots fit in the notches 16 of the visor.
  • the screen or ocular 3 engages by its upper edge in the slot 10 of a frame 11 whose lateral extremities follow the lateral edges of the ocular. These curves ll lock the screen in its frame where it is held solely by the resiliency of the material of which it is made.
  • a removable protection band 12 made of soft plastic material which extends from one side to the other of the ocular following the indent 14 resting on the nose but not reaching the frame 11 in order to allow room for two lateral interstices 13.
  • This band 12 is tightly fitted on the edge of the ocular 3 which possesses a ridge 15 which keeps in place the above mentioned band while not obviating its removal. This ridge constitutes a protection for the face of the wearer should the ocular he suddenly hit.
  • Ventilation is ensured by the adjustable fins 8 which direct air on the ocular 3 whichever the opening might be. Air exits through the lateral interstices 13. This air circulation due to the displacement of the wearer prevents the formation of vapor on the screen. During a halt it is easy to raise the screen 3 in the position shown by the dotted lines in FIG. 3.
  • the screen 3 is removable from the slot 10 of the goggle and may be replaced by another screen having other visual characteristics.
  • Snow-goggles comprising:
  • a visor adapted to be disposed substantially above the eyes and to project away from the forehead of a wearer
  • a transparent screen pending from the forward edge of said visor and means to pivot said screen on said visor so that the bottom portion of the screen is adapted to move away from the face of the wearer
  • the said visor being provided with two openings substantially vertically alined with the upper surface of the said VISOI',
  • each of said openings a fin pivotally mounted in each of said openings, the said fins being shaped to form a right angle and pivotally mounted about its apex in said opening on an axis along the rear edge of the opening,
  • a protective band made of soft material mounted about the lower edge and part of the sides of the screen, the said screen is shaped so that the said band is adapted to rest on the nose of the wearer and provide interstices a both ends of the band between the screen and the face of the wearer.
