An engaging claw 24 that protrudes outward in the lateral direction X is located on the inner side of the rear peripheral wall portion 22 that is located behind the inner side of the lens portion 21, and the outer portion protrudes outward in the lateral direction X. The engaging claw 25 is located. Furthermore, on the rear surface of the flange portion 23, a plurality of engagement protrusions 26 that are arranged in the circumferential direction and protrude rearward are located. In the illustrated example, the lens portion 21 has a horizontal elliptical shape, but various known shapes such as a circular shape, a tear-drop shape, and a rectangular shape can be employed.

  The frame member 30 has a streamlined outer surface, is separate from the lens member 20, and has an opening 31 through which the lens portion 21 of the lens member 20 inserted from the rear is exposed, an inner portion 32, An outer portion 33 where the insertion hole 16 is located, an upper wall portion 34 extending from the upper edge of the lens portion 21 to the upper side Y1, and a lower wall portion 35 protruding from the lower edge of the lens portion 21 to the lower side Y2 Have The inner portion 32 has a mounting hole 36 into which the end of the nose bridge 15 is inserted, an engagement in which the engagement claw 24 of the lens member 20 is engaged. A joint hole 37 is located. Further, on the rear surface of the outer side portion 33, an engagement concave portion 38 in which the engagement claw 25 of the lens member 20 is engaged is located.

  Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the pad member 40 includes a cylindrical portion 41 and an annular contact that extends outward from the outer peripheral edge of the cylindrical portion 41 at the rear R of the cylindrical portion 41 and contacts the wearer's eyes in a watertight manner. And a face 42. The cylindrical portion 41 of the pad member 40 includes a front portion 43 positioned on the front F side, a rear portion 44 positioned on the rear side R of the front portion 43, an inner portion 48 positioned on the inner side in the lateral direction X, and a lens. The outer portion 49 further protrudes outward in the lateral direction X than the outer portion of the member 20. The front portion 43 of the pad member 40 is bonded by a known bonding means or welding means in a state where the upper surface and the rear surface of the flange portion 23 of the lens member 20 are covered. In addition, a plurality of engagement recesses 45 are engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the rear portion 44 of the cylindrical portion 41 and engaged with a plurality of engagement protrusions 26 protruding rearward from the rear surface of the flange portion 23 of the lens member 20. positioned.

  Each member 20, 30, 40 constituting the eye cup 13 is joined to the front portion 43 of the pad member 40 so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 23 of the lens member 20, and then the engaging claw 24 of the lens member 20. 25 are snap-engaged with the engagement holes 37 and the engagement recesses 38 of the frame member 30, respectively. In a state where the pad member 40 is connected to the lens member 20, the front surface of the cylindrical portion 41 and the front surface of the flange portion 23 of the lens member 20 are substantially flush with each other. Further, the rear portion 44 of the cylindrical portion 41 extends rearward from the flange portion 23 of the lens member 20, and is interposed between the front portion 43 joined to the flange portion 23 of the lens member 20 and the face-contact portion 42. A step 47 extending in the circumferential direction is formed. In the present embodiment, the lens member 20 and the frame member 30 are formed separately. However, as long as the technical effects according to the present invention described later are produced, these members 20 and 30 are integrally formed. May be.

  Referring to FIG. 5, in the rear portion 44 of the cylindrical portion 41 of the pad member 40, the thickness dimension W1 in the upper portion 44A is smaller than the thickness dimension W2 of the lower portion 44B. Specifically, the thickness dimension W1 of the upper portion 44A is 0.7 to 1.2 mm, and the thickness dimension W2 of the lower portion 44B is 1.3 to 1.8 mm. The upper portion 44A of the rear portion 44 is a portion that becomes the base of the upper portion 42A that contacts the upper edge of the eye socket of the wearer (the portion where the eyebrows are located) in the face-facing portion 42, and thus is relatively thin. Fits the face even if it exists. On the other hand, the lower portion 44B of the rear portion 44 is a portion that becomes the root of the lower portion 42B that contacts the lower eyelid of the wearer in the face-facing portion 42, and thus the lower portion 44B is relatively thick. By making it fit stably to such a part that is easy to move due to the movement of the wearer's eyes, etc., and receiving resistance in water, displacement and blurring can be suppressed. In addition, since the lower portion 44B does not bend and bend in this way, a part of the frame 30 made of a hard material does not directly hit the face.

  Referring to FIGS. 6A and 7, the outer portion 49 located outside the face portion 42 of the pad member 40 in the lateral direction X protrudes in a dome shape toward the outer portion 33 of the frame member 30. The raised portion (thick portion or high rigidity region) 50 is located. During use of the swimming goggles 10, particularly when the outer curved portion 49 that protrudes outward in the lateral direction X is relatively thin during swimming in which the water resistance is relatively large, The outer portion 49 is easily drowned by water resistance. Further, the vicinity of the outer portion 49 is a portion where the goggle main body 13 and the head strap 12 are connected, and since the ear part of the wearer is located, the goggle main body 13 and / or the head strap 12 and the face are located. A gap is likely to occur between them. In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 50 is positioned on the outer portion 49 of the pad member 40, so that the thickness becomes relatively thick, and the outer portion 49 is displaced or twisted even when subjected to water resistance in water. Rather, it can maintain a state that fits the face. Further, since the raised portion 50 is thicker and more cushioning than the other portions of the face-facing portion 42, the skin contact of the outer portion 33 of the frame member 30 formed from a hard material becomes good, There is no sense of incongruity to the wearer. In particular, the raised portion 50 has a dome shape that protrudes forward, and the whole or a part thereof is spaced apart from the outer portion 33 of the frame member 30. In addition to exerting cushioning properties in contact, the force pressed by the outer side portion 33 is dispersed on the base end side that spreads in all directions from the apex, so that cushioning properties can be exhibited more effectively.

  Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6A and 6B, the inner portion 48 located on the outer side in the lateral direction X of the face contact portion 42 of the pad member 40 is spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the face contact portion 42. A low-rigidity region 60 formed by a plurality of recesses 61 arranged side by side is located. The inner portion 48 of the pad member 40 is a portion that abuts on the inner side of the wearer's nasal bone, and the shape of the nasal bone varies depending on the wearer. Therefore, the rigidity of the inner portion 48 is relatively high. In such a case, it cannot be deformed along the nasal bones of each wearer, and there is a possibility that the fit property is lowered. In the present embodiment, by providing the low rigidity region 60 in the inner portion 48 of the pad member 40, the pad member 40 can be deformed and fitted along various shapes of the nasal bones.

  In the face contact portion 42, it is preferable that a portion other than the inner portion 48 that is in contact with the nasal bone has a required rigidity to stably fit the body. It is preferable that it is disposed not only on the entire circumference but only on the inner portion 48. In addition, the low-rigidity region 60 is entirely or mostly located below the transverse center line Q (see FIG. 3) that bisects the dimensions of the pad member 40 in the vertical direction Y1, Y2 in the inner portion 48. It is preferable. The portion of the inner portion 48 above the transverse center line Q is a portion extending curvedly away from the nasal bone, and therefore does not need to be deformed along the shape of the nasal bone, but rather is relatively rigid. This is because it is preferable to make it fit so that it does not deviate from the face.

  The plurality of dot-like recesses 61 forming the low-rigidity area 60 have an area that gradually decreases from the recess 61a located on the center side of the low-rigidity area 60 in the vertical direction Y1, Y2. Thus, by making the area of the recess 61a located at the center of the low-rigidity region 60 larger than that of the other recesses 61, the amount of deformation can be gradually reduced from the center, and the low-rigidity region 60 and other parts can be reduced. It is possible to suppress the floating and deviation of the inner portion 48 due to a large difference in deformation amount. In addition to the circular shape, the concave portion 61 can adopt various known shapes such as a line shape, a triangular shape, and a rhombus shape. However, since the recess 61 has a circular shape, the stress is uniformly distributed in all directions, so that the low-rigidity region 60 can be effectively prevented from being lifted or displaced. Further, in the low rigidity region 60, the recesses 61 do not continuously extend in the circumferential direction of the face contact portion 42, and it is preferable that the plurality of recesses 61 are arranged at intervals as in the present embodiment. . Since the concave portions 61 have such an arrangement mode, the concave portions 61 and the portions where the concave portions 61 are not formed are alternately positioned in the circumferential direction of the face-facing portion 42. It is possible to achieve both deformation and fit along the line.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the low-rigidity region 60 (or the plurality of recesses 61) and the inner edge 48a of the inner portion 48 are separated by a given dimension. When the distance between the low-rigidity region 60 and the inner edge 48a is relatively small, the vicinity of the inner edge 48a is easily cut when the pad member 40 receives an impact or the like. The distance L from 48a is preferably 1.0 mm or more.

  In addition to the materials described in the present specification, various known materials that are commonly used in this type of field are included in the components constituting the swimming goggles 10 unless otherwise specified. Can be used without limitation.
