Abstract
A visor adapted for use with a headset worn on a person's head having a brim portion formed to wrap around the front of said person's head providing shielding from visually adverse conditions. The brim portion is formed with rearwardly extending portions which terminate in clips used to mount the visor to the headset. The visor is integrally formed of a suitable plastic providing necessary rigidity and flexibility characteristics. The design of the clips exploit the flexibility characteristics of the plastic to removably retain the visor on the headset without any additional fasteners or adhesives. The clip is formed of two generally parallelly aligned flanges with a headband receiving gap therebetween, one flange formed with a heel portion and a gap and the other flange formed with a stabilizing flange. A portion of the headset fits into the gap and is retained in the gap by the stabilizing flange on the opposing flange.
