Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a face pad of goggles used for skis and the like.

<Prior Art> Usually, goggles include a lens, a goggle frame surrounding the lens, a face pad attached to the rear part of the goggle frame and provided between the wearer's face and the goggle frame, and goggles. And a belt for fixing the frame to the wearer's face.

The face pad is required to have cushioning properties so that the belt presses the goggle frame strongly against the face. Therefore, at present, a thick sponge made of Scott urethane is mainly used as this face pad. There is. The face pad made of this sponge has excellent cushioning properties, and also has excellent breathability because it has many pores, and provides a feeling of wearing goggles that is almost satisfactory for ordinary skis.

<Problems to be solved by the device> However, there is a field of competition in skiing as well, and especially in the case of competition where the poles installed in zigzag and sliding through between poles at a sharp speed, such as a rotating competition, There are some unsatisfactory aspects with pads. That is, in the above competition, when the athlete rubs between the poles,
In most cases, tilting the pole with your body reduces the radius of gyration and increases speed. For this reason, the goggles often come into contact with the pole, and the conventional face pad has a drawback that it shifts at the time of this contact.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a face pad that does not shift even if it receives a slight impact.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention is a face pad attached to the rear part of a goggle frame and provided so as to be interposed between the goggle frame and the wearer's face. provide.

The face pad of the present invention is made of a breathable, flexible sponge-like material, and a protrusion such as a silicone rubber having a friction coefficient larger than that of the face pad and less deformable than the face pad is provided on the face contact portion of the face pad. It is characterized in that a non-adhesive surface is provided on and adhered.

<Operation> In the present invention, the face pad is firmly fixed to the wearer's face by the frictional force of the protrusion itself such as silicon rubber and the unevenness due to the protrusion.

When the goggles are strongly fixed to the face, the goggles are strongly tightened with a belt to be fixed.
At this time, in the present invention, since the flexible sponge-like face pad is combined with the protrusion of silicon rubber or the like having a large friction coefficient and being hard to be deformed, the protrusion is sponge-like even if the goggles are strongly tightened. It is slightly buried in the face pad and does not cause any pain to the wearer.

Further, since the protrusion has a non-adhesive surface and is attached to the face pad, the air permeability of the face pad is secured through this non-adhesive surface.

<Embodiment> A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be illustratively described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the dimensions, shapes, materials, relative positions, etc. of the components described in this embodiment are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to them unless otherwise specified. , It is just an example of explanation.
