Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to underwater goggles.

(Prior Art) In conventional underwater goggles, a pair of left and right eyeglass bodies includes a lens portion and a skirt portion that recedes from the periphery of the lens portion. It has a pad that fits tightly against the face. The left and right pads are not connected to each other and are independent, and the left and right eyeglass bodies are connected by a connecting band so that the distance can be adjusted freely.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Underwater glasses such as those described above have a tendency that, during a long swim, the glasses body shifts on the wearer's face against the frictional resistance between the pads and the face due to the resistance of the water. There is a problem with movement. In addition to the above-mentioned misalignment, there is also the problem that the eyeglasses are slightly separated from the face since the resistance of the water is large, especially when diving. These factors cause water to enter the eyeglass body.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide underwater goggles designed to prevent the main body of the eyeglasses from shifting on the wearer's face or coming away from the wearer's face during swimming.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The technical means taken by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned object is a left and right lens comprising a lens portion 2 and a skirt portion 3 that recedes from the periphery of the lens portion 2. In underwater glasses, a pair of eyeglass bodies 1, 1 are connected by a connecting band 8 so that the interval can be adjusted, and a pad 11 is provided on the periphery of the skirt portion 3 to tightly fit the wearer's face around the eyes. The opposite sides of the left and right pads 11, 11 are connected to each other in order to restrict movement of the eyeglass bodies 1 due to the movement of the left and right eyeglass bodies 1, and the left and right pads 11, 11 are closely attached to the wearer's face between the eyes, and the distance between the left and right eyeglass bodies 1, 1 is allowed to be adjusted. The point is that the flexible flat connecting portion 15 is integrally formed with the pad 11.

(Function) When swimming, the eyeglass body 1 tends to be displaced on the wearer's face due to water resistance against the frictional resistance between the pads and the face. At this time, the connecting portion 15 that connects the left and right pads 11, 11 comes into close contact with the wearer's face between the eyes, providing resistance to the displacement. Furthermore, especially when diving, water resistance is large, so in addition to the above-mentioned displacement, the glasses body 1 tends to be slightly separated from the face. The connecting portion 15 acts as a resistance against this separation as well. In addition, left and right eyeglass bodies 1,
1, the connecting portion 15 bends to allow the adjustment of the distance.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which underwater glasses have a pair of left and right glasses bodies 1,
1, and the eyeglass body 1 is integrally formed of transparent or translucent hard synthetic resin such as polycarbonate or cellulose propionate.

The eyeglass body 1 is comprised of a front lens portion 2, a skirt portion 3, etc. that recedes from the periphery of the lens portion 2, and is shaped like a bowl with an opening 4 formed at the rear. The periphery of the opening 4 of the skirt portion 3 is curved to follow the wearer's face around the eyes.

At one end of the lens portion 2, a bracket 5 extends forwardly from the skirt portion 3, and a through hole 6 is provided in the bracket 5. Further, at the other end of the lens section 2, a belt attachment section 7 is recessed in the end of the skirt section 3.

In the eyeglass body 1 as described above, the brackets 5 are arranged side by side so as to face each other, and both ends of a flexible and non-stretchable connecting band 8 are removably inserted into the through hole 6 of each bracket 5. By engaging the locking portion 9 provided on the connecting band 8 with the through hole 6, the pair of eyeglass bodies 1, 1 are connected so that the interval can be freely adjusted. Further, a stretchable elastic belt 10 is inserted into the belt attachment part 7 so that its length can be adjusted.

A pad 11 is made of a flexible and highly adhesive elastic material such as synthetic rubber such as chloroprene rubber or silicone rubber, or synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride. This pad 11 is attached to the back periphery of the skirt portion 3 and comes into close contact with the wearer's face around the eyes to prevent water from entering the eyeglass body 1. The pad 11 is formed with an opening 12 corresponding to the opening 4 of the skirt portion 3, and the outer peripheral edge of the pad 11 is protruded outward more than the peripheral edge of the skirt portion 3 to increase the area of contact with the face. The extension part 13 is used to
This extended portion 13 increases the frictional resistance between the pad 11 and the face.

Opposing side portions 14 of the left and right pads 11, 11 are connected to each other by a connecting portion 15. This connecting portion 15 is integrally formed with the pad 11 from the same material. For example, the pad 11 and the connecting portion 15 are integrally formed by punching a flat material. The connecting portion 15 has an arcuate upper and lower external shape so that the width is narrower at the center in the left-right direction of the underwater glasses, and is wider than the connecting band 8, and is made of a flexible and elastic material with good adhesion. As shown in FIG. Even when the distance between the main bodies 1 is adjusted, the main body 1 bends accordingly to allow the adjustment of the distance, and also fits closely to the face between the eyes.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and the differences from the first embodiment will be explained below.

The eyeglass body 1 is provided with a flange portion 16 that projects outward from the periphery of the skirt portion 3.

A frame 17 having a U-shaped cross section is provided around the opening 12 of the pad 11, and the pad 11 is attached to the eyeglass body 1 by removably fitting the frame 17 to the flange 16. . Furthermore, frame 1
7 is integrally formed with the pad 11 from the same material.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, when the glasses body 1 tries to shift on the face against the frictional resistance between the pads 11 and the face due to water resistance during swimming, A connecting portion 15 that connects the left and right pads 11 and 11 and that is in close contact with the face between the eyes acts as a resistance against the above-mentioned shifting movement, and prevents the glasses body 1 from shifting on the face. Furthermore, when diving, in addition to the above-mentioned displacement, a force is applied in a direction that causes the glasses body 1 to move away from the face. The connecting portion 15 also serves as resistance against the separation. Therefore, water is prevented from entering the inner surface of the eyeglass body 1 due to displacement or separation of the eyeglass body 1.

Furthermore, when adjusting the distance between the left and right eyeglass bodies 1, 1, since the connecting portion is bent, it does not interfere with the distance adjustment.
