VENTILATED EYE SHIELD FOR SKI HELMET

摘要

The present subject matter is directed to a ventilated eye shield for a ski helmet. The eye shield comprises means of rotatably connecting the eye shield to the helmet body, the eye shield having raised and lowered positions relative to the helmet body, a straight upper edge, a lower edge having a notch adapted to rest on the skier's nose, a resilient foam separator attached to the lower inside edge of the face shield isolating the vision region from the breathing region and air inlets on either side of the lower edge of the face shield. The foam insert is contoured to prevent snow or debris from penetrating between the inside of the face shield and the skier's face. Outside air may penetrate from the air inlets on the sides of the eye shield, ventilate and prevent fogging of the inside surface of the eye shield.

1. An eye shield for a ski helmet protecting a wearer's vision region comprising:
a) means of rotatably connecting the eye shield to the helmet body, the eye shield being continuously settable between a raised position and a lowered position relative to the helmet body wherein the eye shield is adapted to be in front of the wearer's eyes when set in the lowered position and is adapted to be substantially out of the wearer's field of vision when in the raised position; b) an upper edge and a lower edge, said lower edge having a notch adapted to rest on the bridge of the wearer's nose when the eye shield is set in the lowered position; c) a separator bordering the wearer facing side of the lower edge of the eye shield wherein the separator isolates the vision region from the breathing region of the wearer when the eye shield is set in the lowered position and wherein the separator is contoured to prevent snow or debris from penetrating the vision region when the eye shield is set in the lowered position;
