Abstract
One or more safety eyewear devices are described. The safety eyewear includes a heating element that transfers heat to lenses, thereby providing defogging in eyewear suitable for a construction environment.
Claims13
A safety eyewear comprising:
- a frame configured to couple to a head of a user;
- a lens coupled to the frame, wherein the lens is positioned in front of an eye of the user when the user is wearing the safety eyewear;
- and a heating element coupled to the frame, the heating element configured to convert received electricity into heat, wherein the heating element defines an elongate structure wrapped around the frame, wherein the heat transfers from the heating element to the lens to reduce fogging on the lens.
A safety eyewear comprising:
- a lens positioned in front of an eye of a user when the user is wearing the safety eyewear;
- a frame configured to couple to a head of the user, the frame comprising a rim coupled to the lens, a first arm coupled to the rim, and a second arm coupled to the rim, wherein the first and second arms are configured to engage with ears of the user to secure the safety eyewear to the head of the user;
- a power supply coupled to the first arm;
- and a heating element electrically coupled to the power supply, the heating element configured to convert electricity received from the power supply into heat, the heat transferring from the frame to the lens to increase a temperature of the lens to reduce fogging, wherein the heating element defines an elongate structure wrapped around the frame.
1 more element
A headwear protective system comprising:
- a safety headwear comprising a shell formed from a rigid material, the shell defining an external surface and an opposing internal surface that defines a cavity sized to receive the head of a user;
- a power supply coupled to the safety headwear;
- a frame configured to couple to the head of the user, the frame comprising a rim and a plurality of arms coupled to the rim and configured to engage with ears of the user to secure the frame to the head of the user;
- a lens coupled to the rim, wherein the lens is positioned in front of an eye of the user;
- a power conductor coupled to the power supply;
- and a heating element coupled to the power conductor and configured to receive electricity from the power supply through the power conductor and to convert the electricity into heat, wherein the heat transfers from the heating element to the lens to reduce fogging on the lens.
