SEQUENCE LISTING. N/A
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The use of the “Eye Glass Perspiration Guard” is targeted for the construction work place, but not limited to these areas. Welders, maintenance personnel, sportsman and or any other people who wear eye glasses and or safety glasses can use this invention to limit the amount of perspiration interference to their glasses or eyes. In addition, “Sweat Bands” which may be similar but are attached to the head by means of elastic bands or similar constraints can interfere with the use of “Hard Hats”. The “Eye Glass Perspiration Guard” being attached to eye glasses does not interfere with “Hard Hats”, therefore is unique.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
With the “Eye Glass Perspiration Guard” attached to a pair of eye glasses or safety glasses by use of the (2) “O” rings, the absorbent foam rubber comes in contact with the forehead and soaks up the perspiration before the perspiration can fall onto the eye glasses or into the eyes, therefore not having to clean eye glasses as often.
