Eye protector with unrolled deployed configuration and rolled-up collapsed configuration

摘要

An eye protector assembly (10) is provided which includes a film-like, resilient collapsible lens (20) that wraps about the eyes of the wearer (W) from temple (T) to temple (T). The lens (20) is partially held in place by its left and right wings (30) which include respective left and right temple pads (40). The lens (20) is offset from the face of the wearer (W) by horizontal pads (60) which increase the wearer's (W) comfort and provide circulation via two primary vents (70) to allow perspiration to dissipate from the enclosure created between the lens (20) and the wearer's (W) face. A nose cutout region (90), conforming to the general shape of a typical user's nose (N), is provided at the midpoint of the lens (20) at its bottom edge (28). A nose saddle (100), made of soft, resilient foam or rubber-type material, is attached adjacent the nose cutout region (90) on the rear concave surface (24) of the lens (20). The nose saddle (100) conforms to the shape of the nose (N) of the wearer (W). A retention band (200) extends from the left and right edges (32) of the left and right wings (30) to provide a secure means for retaining the lens (20) on the face of the wearer (W). A cylindrical container (300) provided for stowage of the eye protector assembly (10) in a rolled-up orientation is also described.
