Abstract:
Goggles to protect a wearer's eyes, the wearer additionally wearing a hood covering the wearer's head, the hood having a facial opening over the wearer's face, the goggles comprising:an outer frame having opposite outboard edges and an upper edge extending between said outboard edges;an inner frame having opposite outboard edges and an upper edge extending between said inner frame outboard edges, said inner and outer frames being interconnected with said inner frame bearing against the wearer's face; anda strap attached to and extending between said inner frame outboard edges, said strap adapted to extend behind the wearer's head to hold the goggle on the wearer's face;said inner frame outboard and upper edges being aligned with and spaced from said outer frame outboard and upper edges respectively, thereby forming an uninterrupted channel extending between said opposite outboard edges and along said upper edges of said inner and outer frames, whereby a part of said hood perimeter may extend into the entire length of said channel such that said part of said hood perimeter and said inner frame together create a barrier against air and dust entering the wearer's hood and goggle, and whereby the hood may be alternately removed and replaced upon the wearer's head without moving the goggles on the wearer's head.
