Protective eyewear

A device for protecting a wearer's eyes against light comprising

• first and second eye cups joined together in a fixed relation by a bridge, with said eye cups being mirror images of each other,
• each of said eye cups being generally oblong as viewed from the front with a top and a bottom joined by inner and outer sides, with said inner and outer sides of each of said oblong eye cups shorter than said top and bottom of said eye cups so that said top will fit below the brow of the wearer and said bottom will fit above the cheekbone of the wearer when the device is in place on the wearer,
• each of said eye cups having a substantially flat surface with a lens opening and a lens positioned in said lens opening,
• with said outer side of each of said eye cups projecting rearwardly at least about twice as far as said inner side and with said top and bottom of each of said eye cups having concave curved rear edges, and
• with said bridge and said eye cup tops substantially in parallel horizontal planes, and with said bridge having an arch extending forwardly of said eye cups so that said bridge does not contract the wearer's face when the device is in place on the wearer,
• said eye protection device being a unitary molded piece with said top, bottom and sides forming a closed cup except for the said lens opening,
• a projection at the rearward end of each of said outer sides for receiving ahead attachment band, with each of said projections having means defining a single cylindrical opening and a slot parallel to the axis of said cylindrical opening and extending between said opening and the exterior of said projection, and
• with said head attachment band having an elastic line of a diameter to pass through said slots and enlarged ends of a size to not pass through said cylindrical openings.
