EYE-WEAR ARTICLES FOR USE WITH RESPIRATORY MASKS

摘要

An eye-wear article (93) for use with a respiratory mask (1) comprises a fla t piece of transparent polymeric material providing a visor portion. The flat piece of polymeric material has shaped portions in a lower edge that fit ove r respective selected parts of the mask, and elongate tabs (95) that extend fr om each side and are inserted into respective guides (97) on the head harness ( 7, 8) of the mask to cause the flat piece of polymeric material to adopt a curv ed configuration and locate the visor portion in front of the eyes of the weare r. The tabs (95) can slide in the guides (97) to permit the eye-wear article to be moved out of engagement with the mask and onto the top of the wearer's while the mask is being worn, without disturbing the position of the mask on the wearer's face and without affecting the respiratory protection provided by the mask.
