EYESHIELD 42 |
Augenschützer 42 |
PURPOSE: |
These eyeshields serve to protect the eyes of the wearer against dust and strong sunlight, the colorless type being suitable only for the former. |
MARKINGS: |
There are no markings on these eyeshields. |
DESCRIPTION: |
The two types of eyeshields vary only in the color of the transparent plastic used; one type has colorless plastic shields and the other, yellow-green shields. The eyeshield proper is made in four sections, the plastic to plastic connections being made by sewing a strip of cloth tape over the out-side of the seams. Each of the side sections has six 0.1 inch holes for ventilation purposes and a metal-trimmed eyelet for the headstrap. The latter consists of a 0.4 inch adjustable elastic band. The outside edge of the eye-shield proper is trimmed with black velvet tape to prevent the plastic shields from cutting the face. |
The colorless eyeshields are packed in a heavy white paper envelope and the colored ones in a dark green envelope, one per envelope. |
