Abstract
A safety glass or spectacle assembly for use with a pair of ear defenders having a pair of lobes for sealing engagement with ears of a user. The assembly includes a safety glass or spectacle frame, an elongated set of arms each attachable to sides of the frame; and means for affixing ends of said arms remote from said frame to an exterior surface of respective lobes of the ear defender. By utilizing the exterior surface of the ear defender to attach the arms of the spectacles one avoids disrupting the seal of the lobes to the ears that are caused by using conventional safety glasses or spectacles.

A safety glass or spectacle assembly for use with a pair of ear defenders having a pair of lobes for sealing engagement with ears of a user, comprising:
- (a) a safety glass or spectacle frame;
- (b) an elongated set of arms each attachable to sides of said frame and each arm having a ratchet swivel assembly positioned remotely from said frame;
- and
- (c) means for affixing ends of said arms remote from said frame to respective lobes of said ear defender;
- wherein said arms can be pivoted about said ratchet swivel assembly to provide vertical pivoting of said frame about an axis remote from said frame.
A safety glass or spectacle assembly for use with a pair of ear defenders having a pair of lobes for sealing engagement with ears of a user, said assembly comprising:
- (a) a pair of swivel holders having means to affix onto respective ear defender lobes;
- (b) a ratchet swivel arm assembly connectable to each of said swivel holders in engagement therewith such that said swivel arm assembly is pivotal with respect to said holder at a point remote from a spectacle or eye shield frame and is held in position after pivoting;

- (a) a pair of ratchet swivel holders affixable to respective ear defender lobes, each of said holders having a pair of spaced apart discs and an arcuate surface therebetween, with each disc having an axially aligned shaft hole and the arcuate surface of said holder between said discs being serrated;
- (b) a swivel arm having a disc dimensioned to fit between said ratchet swivel holder discs, shaft portions located centrally on either side of said disc which fit into and rotate in said shaft holes;
- (c) a flexible, cantilevered radial lever formed around a periphery of said swivel arm disc and an outwardly projecting tooth at a distal end of said lever engaging the serrated surface;
- (d) a support arm slidably engageable with said swivel arm;
- (e) means for providing friction between said support arm and said swivel arm;
