Removable eyewear member

Abstract

Eyewear member includes a structure for fitting peripherally on or around or behind lens and structure of conventional eyewear. Interfitting structure ranges from sealing segments to eyewear members which may attachably engage or simply interfit behind conventional eyewear. The eyewear members enables conventional eyewear to form a closer fit with the face of the user to protect the person's eyes from wind, water and foreign material. All embodiments contemplate selectable removability, replace ability and interchangeability.

       58 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 49  wherein a sealing material is attached to said second first side of said body for obtaining said close fit.  
   
   
       59 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 58  wherein said sealing material comprises a substantially straight segment which has a tapered configuration defining wider areas and a narrower areas to provide a contoured fit with a face of a person using said eyewear member on said conventional eyewear.  
   
   
       60 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 58  wherein said sealing material being remove-ably secured to said body to facilitate using substantially different sizes of sealing material according to desires of a user.  
   
   
       61 . An eyewear member for use by a person wearing conventional eyewear, said eyewear member comprising: 
 a body having a peripheral region corresponding to a user's facial region surrounding the user's two eyes and utilizable with conventional eyewear, said body having a first side and an oppositely disposed second side, and an enclosure with at least one enlarged opening, said enlarged opening to align with a lens of said eyewear, said first side of said body to provide a close fit with a face of the person using said eyewear member to diminish the entry of foreign material and light between the eyewear and the person's face, said second side having means for mounting said eyewear member to a frontal surface of said eyewear, and wherein said body includes adjustment means for varying the size of said enlarged opening.    
   
   
       62 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 61  wherein said eyewear member having at least one u-shaped channel or hook which provides for removably securing and mounting of said body relative to the frontal surface of said conventional eyewear.  
   
   
       63 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 62  wherein said unshaped channel or hook is adjustable relative to said body to permit achieving usage of said eyewear member on a greater number of different designs of said conventional eyewear.  
   
   
       64 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 61  wherein said means for mounting further comprises a nosepiece mounted on said body, said nosepiece adapted to engage with a nose area of said conventional eyewear.  
   
   
       65 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 61  wherein a sealing material is attached to said first side of said body for obtaining said close fit.  
   
   
       66 . The eyewear member as defined in  claim 61  wherein said sealing material being removably secured to said body to facilitate using substantially different sizes of sealing material according to desires of a user.
