Retractable binoculars attachable to a visor

For use in combination with head wear, a binocular assembly adapted to be attached to an underside of a visor of the head wear, said assembly comprising:

• a supporting frame member including a proximal end and a distal end, said frame member having a top surface structured and disposed for mating engagement with said underside of said visor;
• a pair of objective lenses, including a left objective lens and a right objective lens movably mounted to said distal end of said frame member in spaced, co-planar relation to one another;
• a pair of eye-piece lenses, including a left eye-piece lens and a right eye-piece lens movably mounted to said proximal end of said frame member in spaced, co-planar relation to one another,
• said left objective lens being in axial alignment with said left eye-piece lens and said right objective lens being in axial alignment with said right eye-piece lens when in an extended, operable position;
• linkage means interconnecting said object lenses to said eye-piece lenses for facilitating simultaneous movement thereof between said extended, operable position, and a collapsed, stored position when said assembly is attached to said underside of said visor;
• and
• means for longitudinally and continuously moving said objective lenses relative to said eye-piece lenses using an adjustment means, while said assembly is attached to said underside of said visor, so as to facilitate focusing on an object,
• said assembly, when attached to said underside of said visor worn by a user, being structured and disposed to be substantially nonobstructive to the vision of said user when said pair of objective lenses and said pair of eye-piece lenses are in said collapsed, stored position.
