ABSTRACT:
A face protector for protecting the face against fluid splatter or splash of bodily fluids as occurs in the medical field, which includes a glassless temple frame support with two reusable double clips that are slid over the temple frames and clamped onto the ends of a disposable clear plastic face shield lens. The two reusable double clips are then carefully slid into position on the temple frames of the glassless supporting frames. Once the face protector is adjusted to fit ones face the reusable double clips are locked by set screws onto the temple frames where they can remain in place. The disposable face shield lens can simply be removed, discarded and quickly replaced without further adjustment being necessary. This device thereby provides for practical face shield protection. When soiled, scratched or contaminated the clear face shield lens may be removed and discarded. The support frames with (reusable double clips) attached then act as the structural support of the face protector ready to receive a new clean face shield lens. In another form of the invention the reusable double clips can be attached to the wearers own prescription glasses or safety glasses thereby converting the assembly into a face protector. In yet another form of the invention the clips, lens and head cover are attached to a preformed support frame.
