An eye shield attachment can be used in combination with a safety helmet. The
helmet has a front brim continuous with a rim extending along each opposite side
of the safety helmet adjacent to a pair of rim slots in the rim of the safety helmet.
The eye shield attachment has a lens and a right and a left structure. Each of
the right and left structures has (a) a side frame adapted to be suspended below
the rim and to extend toward the front brim, and (b) at least one tong adapted
to be removably and dependently attached from below to a corresponding one of the
rim slots in the helmet for supporting the side frame. The lens is attached distally
between the right and the left structures and can pivot under the front brim between
a lowered and a raised position and still remain subjacent to the front brim. The
right and left structures are adjustable to provide an adjustable orientation of
the lens while in the lowered position.
