A sideshield eye protector is presented which includes a comfort and safety
wing that is formed as a surface appendage thereon, and extends in a
generally perpendicular direction from the surface of the sideshield along
the contoured edge of the sideshield positioned closest to the wearer's
face. The comfort and safety wing may be integral to the sideshield
forming an integral structure therewith or removably attached thereto. The
comfort and safety wing is oriented generally parallel with the facial
surfaces and generally follows the proximate facial contours. A separate
wing portion may be fabricated on both the upper and lower parts of each
sideshield, the upper wing portion extending from the upper contoured edge
of the sideshield which provides additional coverage over the upper
portion of the eye orbits, temple and lower forehead area. The lower face
about the lower eye orbit and upper cheek area has a generally parallel
orientation with those facial surfaces.
