Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swimming goggle, more particularly to a swimming goggle of a novel structure comprising a padding member to cup both eyes in the same enclosed space, which gives better comfort and wider vision to the wearer.
  • the conventional swimming goggles designated for use in swimming pools regardless of their various types usually have two lenses, each of which separately cups the left and right eye sockets.
  • the swimming goggle of the prior art incorporates the design of cupping the eye sockets to prevent water permeation. Therefore the padding members disposed on the lens frame regardless of the foamed ones or the suckers are independently assembled to the left lens and the right lens. After such conventional swimming goggle is worn, the padding member has an adsorption around the eye sockets near the eyeballs. It is still comfortable after wearing for a short time, however the eyes will be very uncomfortable due to the pressure when wearing the goggle for some time, especially in diving.
  • the vision of the conventional goggle is very difficult to reach wide angles due to the small area of the lens.
  • enlarging the lens is the most direct method to improve the shortcomings of the narrow angle for the vision, but once the lens frame is enlarged, the whole structure of the swimming goggle will be changed, and the comfortableness of wearing a larger frame becomes a new issue that has to be solved.
  • the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a swimming goggle that offers better comfort and wider vision to the wearer.
  • the swimming goggle comprising a padding member having the mask function that cups the eye socket beyond its area when wearing, allow both eyes are cupped in the same enclosed space, and we do not have to worry about the pressure acted on the eyeballs, and it further provides an airtight waterproof effect.
  • the swimming goggle of the present invention mainly features that the lens and padding member of the goggle are fixed as a whole piece by the pressing of the lens frame, and such lens frame comprising a first frame and a second frame wherein the first and second frames having a bridging portion coupled to the upper and lower edges at the center of the first and second frames, and the frames has an inlaid groove for clipping the lens and the padding member.
  • a suppressing means is disposed at the lateral sides of the first and second frames, in which the suppressing means comprises an axial base having an axial hole separately disposed on the first frame and the second frame; and for coupling and latching the axial holes in order to let the head strap of the swimming goggle to pass through, and the bottom casing and the front casing being mutually assembled as a piece, such that the tight pressing between the bridging portion, the bottom casing, and the front casing securely mount the lens and the padding member into the inlaid groove of the lens frame.
  • the bridging portion comprises a latch groove on a first frame, and a latch post on a second frame, such that the central section of the first frame and that of the second frame can be latched together as a piece.
  • the bottom casing has an inclined post for hooking the axial hole of the first frame and that of the second hole as a whole piece
  • the front panel in corresponsive to the inclined axial post has a latch hole to mutually latch the inclined axial post.
  • there is a passing through area for the head strap adjacent to the inclined axial post and such passing through area is divided into two parts for allowing the head strap of the swimming strap to revolve and pass through.
  • Another feature of the present invention is that the bottom casing and the front panel are pivotally coupled into the axial hole which allows a small angled rotation for meeting the need for wearing by different users.
  • FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional diagram of the disassembled parts of the swimming goggle of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG.6 show the three-dimensional diagrams of a series of step-by-step assembly process of the swimming goggle according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is the cross-sectional diagram of the A-A section of FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 8 show a three-dimensional diagrams of part of after the head strap is being fixed at the bottom casing and the front casing , it could rotates according to the present invention.
  • the swimming goggle comprises a lens frame 2, a padding member 3, a lens 4, a suppressing means 5, and a head strap device 6 (see Figure 6), wherein the lens frame 2 is formed by tightly assembling a M-shaped first frame 20 and a corresponding second frame 21.
  • bridging portion comprises a latch groove 221 and a latch post 222 in which the latch groove 221 being disposed on the first frame 20 and the latch post 222 being extended from the second frame 21 such that the latch groove 221 and the latch post 222 can latch the middle section of the first frame 20 and that of the second frame 21 together as a piece, and the bridging portion 20 separates the lens frame 2 into the left and right portion.
  • An inlaid portion 201, 211 is disposed each on the inner rim of the left frame and the right frame for retaining the lens 4 and the padding member 3.
  • the padding member 3 having a face fitting part 30 and a lens retaining part 31, of which the face fitting part is of large area and its upper edge attaches the upper portion of the eyebrow, and the lower edge attaches the lower portion of the eye socket of the wearer.
  • the lens retaining portion 31 forms a frame opening on the padding member 3 in corresponsive to the size of the lens.
  • the periphery of the frame opening has an indented ring 310 for covering the periphery of the lens 4 and being accommodated in the inlaid groove 201 of the lens frame.
  • a suppressing means 5 is disposed on each of the lateral sides of the lens frame 2, and the lens frame 2 comprises an axial base 50, bottom casing 51, and front panel 52, wherein the axial base 50 is disposed each on the first frame 20 and the second frame 21, and each axial base 50 has an axial hole 501 on it for coupling.
  • the bottom casing 51 has an inclined axial post 510 on a lateral side of the panel for coupling the foregoing axial hole 501, and the passing area formed at the adjacent side of the inclined axial post 510 is for the head strap to pass through, and a hollow portion 511 being disposed in the passing through area at the bottom casing, and a platform 512 being longitudinally disposed on both lateral sides, and an isolating post 513 being disposed across the platform 512 such that the head strap can be fixed by revolving around and passing through the isolating post 513.
  • the front panel 52 has a latch hole 520 being latched with the inclined axial post 510.
  • the outer side of the platform 512 of the bottom casing 51 has an inlaid groove 53
  • the front panel 52 has a inlaid post 54 being extended from the position corresponding to the inlaid groove 53 such that the two can be securely assembled together as a piece.
  • the front panel 52 and the bottom casing 51 has a blocking surface 55 for guiding the head strap and restricting excessive passing through of the head strap in their corresponding inner sides.
