Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swimming goggles, more particularly to a pair of swimming goggles which have two lens frames that can effectively guard against interference each other during the adjusting and can respectively conform with a wearer's eyehole contour, so as to provide more comfortable fitting and prevent the seepage of water when the swimming goggles are in use.
  • a swimming goggles has an adjustment element for adjusting a span between a left lens frame and a right lens frame. Nevertheless, this is so because the span between two eyes as well as the eyehole's contour may be different from person to person, thereby the left lens frame and the right lens frame of all types of swimming goggles can not respectively match wearer's eyehole contour and result the each lens frame unable to prevent the seepage of water when swimming goggles are in use. Referring to FIG.
  • a pair of swimming goggles 8 comprise a bridge 80, a right lens frame 81 and a left lens frame 82, the bridge 80 have two ends which respectively are connected to a connection base 83 of the right lens frame 81 and the left lens frame 82, which makes the right lens frame 81 and the left lens frame 82 influence each other when adjusting a span of the bridge.
  • the bridge 80 is limited the span which adjust between the right lens frame 81 and the left lens frame 82 in which the right lens frame 81 and the left lens frame 82 synchronously are moved with far away or closely each other, thereby adjusting the right lens frame 81 ( or the left lens frame 82 ) to be in conformity with the periphery of right eyehole ( or left eyehole ) will move the left lens frame 82 ( or the right lens frame 81 ) during the swimming goggles are worn on the wearer's eyeholes.
  • the right lens frame 81 and the left lens frame 82 never respectively match wearer's eyehole contour thereby leading to uncomfortable fitting and facile the seepage of water when the swimming goggles are in use.
  • the other two type of a pair of swimming goggles 6, 7 which have two straps that be respectively connected to a lens frames of each swimming goggles.
  • the swimming goggles 7 have two lens frames 70,71 which are respectively connected together with interlacing by two straps 72.
  • the strap 72 adapts to the size of the nose bridge of wearer , finally wearing the swimming goggles 7 on the head of wearer.
  • the swimming goggles 6 are connected a lens frames 60(61) by two straps 62 and the two straps 62 are clipped by a position element 63, thereby to provide the two straps 62 securely position with the lens frames 60(61).
  • a position element 63 thereby to provide the two straps 62 securely position with the lens frames 60(61).
  • the swimming goggles 6 are same situation with the aforementioned swimming goggles 7,8, it should be to happen that is adjust one of the lens frame 60 (61; not show ) to be in conformity with the periphery of left eyehole ( or right eyehole ) will move the other lens frame 61 (60) during the swimming goggles 6 are worn on the wearer's eyeholes. In other words, both the lens frames 60(61) never respectively match wearer's eyeholes contour.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a swimming goggles that can overcome the drawback of the aforementioned prior art.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a pair of swimming goggles which respectively facilitate adjusting the periphery of each eyehole of wearer and which never influence the adjusting span of the left lens frame and the right lens frame of a swimming goggle each other when the swimming goggle in adjusting, to provide securely matching with the periphery of wearer's eyeholes respectively and get more comfortable and prevent effectively the seepage of water when the swimming goggles are in use.
  • a swimming goggles have a connection base which be mounted on the periphery of the lens frames of a swimming goggles, and have a strap mean for passing through the connection base of each of lens frames, thereby providing each of lens frames can move on the connection base respectively, so as to adjust each of lens frames respectively and do not influence each other when the swimming goggles are adjustment.
  • the strap mean includes a first strap and a second strap which are respectively passing through the connection base of each of lens frames, and have a bunching element between the first strap and the second strap for joining with the center of the first strap and the second strap.
  • the bunching element has a through hole which provide the first strap and the second strap passing through and join together.
  • the bunching element, the first strap and the second strap can be formed integrally one unit.
  • a free end of the first strap and the second strap have a receiving element for pressure tightly the free end of the first strap and the second strap at the left lens frame and the right lens frame closely.
  • the preferred embodiment of a swimming goggles 1 is show to comprise a right lens frame 2, a left lens frame 3 and a strap mean 5, wherein each of the lens frames 2,3 has a lens retaining spaces 21,31 for insert molding a lens units 22,32 thereon.
  • the right lens frame 2 and the left lens frame 3 respectively has a gaskets 23,33 each of which is formed integrally with far away from the side of each of the lens units 22,32 for touching the periphery of a wearer's eyehole.
  • connection bases 24,34 (only show in the up periphery of each lens frame) each of which is a slots 25,35 that is formed recess toward on the each lens frame 2,3 in this embodiment, as show in FIG. 4
  • the connection base 24,34 have a openings 241,341 each of which is respectively mounted on the connection bases 24,34 for facility a first strap 50, a second strap 51 of the strap mean 5 passing through the slots 25,35 respectively.
  • the strap mean 5 includes a first strap 50, a second strap 51 and a bunching element 52, wherein the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 are usually made of rubber and the bunching element 52 is formed integrally with the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 that are combined the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 at the middle in which the swimming goggles 1 is divided forming two areas by the bunching element 52.
  • the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 have a free ends 501,511 which are usually a plane shape and the each straps 50,51 is generally rotundity in cross section.
  • the strap mean 5 further includes a receiving element 53, a fastener 54, wherein the receiving element 53 is a sleeve that have two through hole 531 thereon for combination the free ends 501,511 of each of the straps 50,51 together.
  • the fastener 54 which has a adjusting hole 541,542 that are located both side of the fastener for passing through and adjusting the free ends 501,5 11of each of the straps 50,51respectively.
  • the left lens frame 3 is disassemble with the other free end ofthe first strap 50 and the second strap 51, during assembly, the free ends 501,511 of the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 are respectively passing through the connection base 34 ofthe left lens frame 3 and the through hole 531 of the receiving element 53, leading to the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 connection to the receiving element 53 together, and then dividing the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 pass through the adjusting hole 542 of the fastener 54 respectively, such get the same pattern in which the first strap 50 and the second strap 51 passing through the adjusting hole 541 of the fastener 54, as show the right lens frame 2 of in FIG. 5.
