Claims18
Protective eyewear comprising a pair of eye pieces, each defining one of two opposing inner lateral surfaces spaced by a nose bridge, at least one of the inner lateral surfaces comprising a lower in-use end configured to be located towards a ground surface when the eyewear is worn, an upper in-use end configured to be located away from the ground surface when the eyewear is worn, and a skirt upstanding from the inner lateral surface so as to define a slot for slidably and releasably engaging a locating rib provided on said nose bridge,
- wherein said slot comprises a slot locking element and said nose bridge comprises a nose bridge locking element and wherein, in a use configuration with the locating rib of the nose bridge engaged within the slot, the slot locking element and the nose bridge locking element cooperate within said slot to releasably secure the locating rib within the slot;
- and
- wherein said slot is elongate and extends along the inner lateral surface between the upper and lower in-use ends of the inner lateral surface, an end of the skirt being open so as to allow sliding of the locating rib into the slot along an axis that extends from the upper in-use end of the inner lateral surface to the lower in-use end of the inner lateral surface.
A protective eyewear kit comprising:
- a plurality of nose bridges, each comprising a locating rib and a nose bridge locking element, and
- a pair of eye pieces, each defining one of two opposing inner lateral surfaces, at least one of the inner lateral surfaces comprising a lower in-use end configured to be located towards a ground surface when the eye pieces are worn, an upper in-use end configured to be located away from the ground surface when the eye pieces are worn, and a skirt upstanding from the inner lateral surface so as to define a slot for slidably and releasably engaging the locating rib of one nose bridge of the plurality of nose bridges, said slot comprising a slot locking element such that, in a use configuration with the locating rib of the nose bridge engaged within the slot, the slot locking element and the nose bridge locking element cooperate within said slot to releasably secure the locating rib within the slot;
- wherein said slot of the at least one inner lateral surface is elongate and extends along the inner lateral surface between the upper and lower in-use ends of the inner lateral surface, an end of the skirt being open so as to allow sliding of the locating rib into the slot along an axis that extends from the upper in-use end of the inner lateral surface to the lower in-use end of the inner lateral surface.
