A cartridge type safety goggle for welding is disclosed having an improved ventilation system. A cover plate, gasket, filter plate and retaining spring are held in a cartridge, which is adapted to be inserted into a goggle body. A plurality of ventilating holes on the top and bottom of both the goggle body and the cartridge combine with a plurality of tabs on the cartridge to provide an air flow path which provides improved ventilation for the inside surface of the filter plate and yet prevent objectionable light from entering the interior of the goggle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A ventilated goggle comprising: an opaque goggle body having a top and bottom portion and an interior having a viewing aperture at the front, a plurality of holes through said body along its top and bottom above and below said aperture, and being adapted to have a cartridge type plate assembly in said aperture; an opaque cartridge having a top portion and bottom portion, and having a plate assembly therein, and being located in said viewing aperture and having openings along its top and bottom effective to establish air flow communication with said interior portion of said goggle body; and a plurality of opaque tabs along the top and bottom of the cartridge and between the cartridge assembly and the goggle body, said tabs being located adjacent said holes in the goggle body, and said tabs forming air passages between adjacent ones being effective to communicate air flow from said holes in said body to said openings in said cartridge.
2.
The goggle of claim 1 wherein said tabs along the top of said cartridge are in contact with both the goggle body and with the top of said cartridge; and said tabs along the bottom of said cartridge are in contact with the bottom of said cartridge and with said body.
3.
The goggle of claim 1 wherein said plurality of tabs comprise discontinuous ridges formed on the top and bottom of said cartridge.
4.
The goggle of claim 2 wherein said tabs have a substantial side to side dimension transverse to said holes in said body and said openings in said cartridge.
5.
The goggle of claim 4 wherein said openings in said cartridge are adjacent said tabs.
6.
The goggle of claim 5 wherein said openings in said cartridge comprise a plurality of individual openings which are laterally aligned with said holes in said body but wherein said openings in said cartridge are displaced rearwardly from said holes in said body, and wherein said tabs are located at an intermediate position between said holes and said openings.
7.
The goggle of claim 6 wherein the plate assembly comprises a filter plate; and a spring located rearwardly adjacent said filter plate; and wherein said openings in said cartridge are located in the plane of said spring
