DEFINITION

Classification: 2/426

(under subclass 15) Device in which the eye-protector is included in means through which a line of vision of the wearer extends.

(1) Note. The line of vision may extend through a transparent (e.g., glass, etc.) material or through hole(s) or slit(s) in nontransparent material, but in either material the protective function of the material is the significant feature of the structure rather than the optical or vision function. For a device wherein vision is the function of the device, see the search class notes herebelow.

(2) Note. In this subclass is found a pair of goggles comprising primarily a frame that protects that part of the head that surrounds or encloses the eye of a wearer, but not necessarily covering the eye itself.
