The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to wearable protective devices. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Many different types of facial masks for protecting the wearer against breathing in dangerous fumes, preventing cross-infection and the like are known. It is also known to wear goggles to protect eyes. Conventionally, breathing masks and goggles are separate items and have to be put on and taken off separately. This can be inconvenient for the wearer whilst working. Further, conventional speciacie-type arms for fitting goggles onto the head can be prone to slipping off unintentionally. This can be particularly problematic when the facemask interferes with the normal fit of the goggles/spectacles. Different facial shapes and different shapes of glasses/goggles can also mean that conventional facemasks can be uncomfortable to wear, or difficult to fit.
There is therefore a need for a wearable protective device that can be securely attached to a wearer's head during use and/or can provide a good degree of adjustability so that different shapes/sizes of faces can be easily and comfortably accommodated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a wearable protective device including:
an eye shield;
a holder for a removable breathing filter, and
an arrangement for fixing the device, in use, to a wearer's head,

wherein the eye shield and the holder are integrated or permanently connected together.
The eye shield and the holder may be integrated or permanently connected together so that they cannot be Separated in a non-destructive manner.
The eye shield may include goggle lenses or the like. The lenses can be designed to provide eye protection only and not to correct eyesight defects. The eye shield may formed of, or coated with, anti-mist material and/or anti-glare material and/or anti-smoke material and/or UV-protection material.
The holder may he pivotable with respect to the eye shield. The holder may be semi rigid and may be configured to recejve/fit around at least part of an outer edge of the removable breathing filter.
The holder may include a bridge portion configured, in use, to fit on a nose bridge of the wearer. The eye shield (e.g. a lower portion of the eye shield) may be connected to the bridge portion of the holder, e.g. by means of at least one fixing device that extends through at least one corresponding aperture in the holder and the eye shield. The fixing device may include a moulded plastic pin. In an alternative embodiment a first portion of a flexible member is fixed to the eye shield and a second portion of the flexible member is fixed to the holder. The first portion of the flexible member may be fixed to a substantially central portion of the eye shield and the second portion of the flexible member may be fixed to a substantially central portion of the bricjge portion of the holder. The bridge portion may include at least one slot or aperture adapted to assist with avoiding condensation developing within the holder.

The holder may include a chin portion configured, in use, to fit under/around a chin of the wearer.
The fixing arrangement may include a pair of arms, which may be pivotably connected to the eye shield. The arms may, in use, be generally aligned with an eye region of the wearer.
Alternatively or additionally, the fixing arrangement may include at least one elastic strap, which may be connected to at least one corresponding side portion/edge of the holder. In some embodiments, there can be two elastic straps, each of the elastic straps including an interengageable clasp or clip at its free end. The at least one elastic strap may, in use, be generally aligned with a mouth region of the wearer.
The removable breathing filter may be configured to be worn over a nose and mouth of the wearer. The removable breathing filter may be disposable, e.g. it may comprise a filtering face piece (FFP).
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a wearable protective device including:
an eye shield;
a holder for a removable breathing filter, and
an arrangement for fixing the device, in use, to a wearer's head,
wherein the holder is pivotable with respect to the eye shield.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a kit including a device substantially as described herein and at least one removable breathing filter.
Whilst the invention has been described above, it extends to any

inventive combination of features set out above or in the following description. Although illustrative embodiments of the invention are described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to these precise embodiments. As such, many modifications and variations will be apparent to practitioners skilled in the art. Furthermore, it is contemplated that a particular feature described either individually or as part of an embodiment can be combined with other individually described features, or parts of other embodiments, even if the other features and embodiments make no mention of the particular feature. Thus, the invention extends to such specific combinations not already described. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention may be performed in various ways, and, by way of example only, embodiments thereof will now be described, reference being made to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are front, back and side, respectively, views of a first embodiment of the device;
Figure 4 is a front view of a filter that can be used in connection with the device, and
Figure 5 is a front view of an alternative embodiment of the device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to Figures 1 to 3, a first example of a protective device 100 is shown. The device includes an eye shield including a transparent plastic lens 102 having an upper rim to which a pair of arms 104A, 104B are pivotably connected (the arms are shown in a folded configuration in Figures 1 and 2 and

in an extended configuration for fitting over the wearer's ears in Figure 3). It will be understood that the eye shield shown in the Figures is exemplary only and variations are possible. For instance, the shield can be formed of more than one separate lens and an arrangement other than the spectacle-type arm may be provided for fitting the device onto the wearer's head.

The eye shield 102 is permanently connected to the holder 106. By this it is meant that the two components are fixed to each other in a manner that is not intended to allow them to become separated during normal use, or without destroying/damaging at least part of the device 100, except with the use of special instructions or tools, e.g. when parts o⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪ one piece of flexible plastic.
