Please refer to FIGS. 1A to 1C. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a swimming goggles 1 and a headband structure 20 are proposed. The swimming goggles 1 includes a swimming goggles body 10 and the headband structure 20.

The swimming goggles body 10 basically includes a lens assembly 11 and a plurality of side connectors 12. The lens assembly 11 covers and protects the eyes and their surroundings when the user wears the swimming goggles 1. There are different configurations depending on the type. In this embodiment, the swimming goggles 1 is used for general swimming, so the swimming goggles assembly 11 may include two lenses 111, two frames 112, a bridge of nose 113, two contact pads 114, and so on. The lens 111 can be a glass or plastic lens. The lens frame 112 covers and surrounds the periphery of the lens 111. The nose bridge 113 is arranged between the two lens frames 112 and connects the two lens frames 112 (the nose bridge 113 and the lens frame 112 can be integrally formed and molded together ); In other embodiments, the lens 111 and the frame 112 can also be integrally formed. The contact pad (or skirt) 114 is arranged on the frame 112 and extends backward from the frame 112; the contact pad 114 is flexible or soft, and can deform to conform to the face of the user (swimming goggles wearer). In order to fit the face to prevent moisture infiltration; in other embodiments, the two lenses 111 can be connected lenses, and the two contact pads 114 can also be connected contact pads.

The lens assembly 11 may be the part of any swimming goggles after the headband structure is removed, and the more specific technical content and implementation changes of the lens assembly 11 should be known to those with ordinary knowledge in the art, so the description is omitted.

The side connectors 12 are respectively arranged on the two sides (left and right) of the lens assembly 11, that is, arranged on the outer side of one of the lens frames 112 (not the inner side connected to the bridge of the nose 113). The side connecting member 12 is used to connect the strap body 21 of the headband structure 20 so that the strap body 21 can pass through it and prevent the strap body 21 from falling off. The side connector 12 is usually a ring or other structure with perforations, and the side connector 12 can be integrally formed with the lens frame 112. In other embodiments, the side connector 12 and the lens assembly 11 are manufactured separately, and then the side connector 12 can be assembled to the frame 112 of the lens assembly 11.

Please refer to FIGS. 2A and 2B. In this embodiment, the side connector 12 includes a bump 121 and two undercuts 122. The bumps 121 are disposed on the mirror frame 112 and extend laterally from the mirror frame 112. The hook 122 is disposed on the protrusion 121 and extends toward the mirror frame 112 but does not touch the mirror frame 112. The bump 121 and the two undercuts 122 form a T-shaped structure as a whole. The belt 21 can pass between the protrusion 121 and an undercut 122, then bend, and then pass between the protrusion 121 and the other undercut 122; in other words, the belt 21 is hung on the protrusion 121, and then It is restricted by the two barbs 122 and does not fall off. Since the underhook 122 is soft or flexible, the user can pull the underhook 122 so that the belt body 21 is conveniently hung on the protrusion 121.

Please refer to FIGS. 1A to 1D again, and then the headband structure 20 of the swimming goggles 1 will be described. The headband structure 20 includes the aforementioned belt body 21, an adjusting member 22, a positioning member 23 and a fixing member 24. The belt body 21 is elastic and can be stretched by the user to store elastic potential energy. The belt body 21 can preferably be a bungee strap, which can be stretched greatly, is not flat, and facilitates the sliding of the adjustment member 22. In other embodiments, the strap body may be made of silicone rubber, thermoplastic rubber or polyvinyl chloride, and the strap body 21 may also be a braided strap.

The belt body 21 can pass through the two side connectors 12 of the lens assembly 11 and be hooked on it, and then the two end portions of the belt body 21 can be side by side (which can be further fixed by the fixing member 24) to form an integral extension. A first surrounding portion 211, a second surrounding portion 212, and a hanging portion 213 are all located behind the lens 111. The first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 are approximately half a circle, at least surround the user's head from both sides to the back side, and can contact the user's head when tightened, and the overhanging portion 213 is not in contact with The user's head hangs behind the head. The length changes of the first surrounding portion 211, the second surrounding portion 212, and the overhanging portion 213 are relative. When the first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 become shorter, the overhanging portion 213 becomes longer.

Next, the adjustment member 22, the positioning member 23, and the fixing member 24 of the headband structure 20 will be described. Taking the lens assembly 11 (or the user’s head) as a reference, the adjusting member 22 is located in front of the positioning member 23, The positioning member 23 is located in front of the fixing member 24. In other words, the adjusting member 22 is located between the swimming goggles body 10 (the head of the user) and the positioning member 23, and the positioning member 23 is located between the adjusting member 22 and the fixing member 24.

The adjusting member 22 and the positioning member 23 are both slidably arranged on the belt body 21, and the fixing member 24 is fixedly arranged on the belt body 21. In addition, the adjusting member 22 and the positioning member 23 also clamp the belt body 21 to increase the static friction force between the adjusting member 22 and the belt body 21 and the static friction force between the positioning member 23 and the belt body 21.

More specifically, the adjusting member 22 exerts a first clamping force on the belt body 21, and the positioning member 23 exerts a second clamping force on the belt body 22, and the first clamping force and the second clamping force are multiplied by the static friction. After the coefficients and so on, the static friction force between the adjusting member 22, the positioning member 23 and the belt body 21 can be obtained respectively. When one of the adjusting member 22 (fixing member 23) and the belt body 21 needs to bear a force exceeding the static friction force, the two will slide relatively. The fixing member 24 does not need to slide relative to the belt 21.

In addition, the adjusting member 22, the positioning member 23 and the fixing member 24 are provided on the overhanging portion 213. The relative sliding of the adjusting member 22 and the belt body 21 can adjust the relative length of the first surrounding portion 211, the second surrounding portion 212 and the hanging portion 213. When the user wears the swimming goggles 1, the adjusting member 22 can be forced to slide forward to abut the user's head, so that the first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 gradually tighten the user's head Department. After the first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 are tightened, there will be an appropriate pulling force (or tightening force), so that the lens assembly 11 will not excessively compress the user's face, and will not allow water to penetrate ; The appropriate tensile force may be 0.6~1.1kg, more preferably 0.8kg, for example.

Please refer to Figure 3, the first clamping force F1 exerted by the adjusting member 22 is based on the tension that the strap 21 (the first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212) needs to maintain after the user's head is tightened. set up. Assuming that the proper tension after tightening is 0.6-1.1 kg, correspondingly, the preferable static friction force between the adjusting member 22 and the belt body 21 is 0.6-1.1 kg. When the user applies a force to make the tightening force exceed the appropriate tension, the static friction between the adjusting member 22 and the belt body 21 cannot withstand the tightening force; then, the adjusting member 22 and the belt body 21 will automatically Sliding relatively dynamically to loosen the belt body 21 slightly (as shown by the dashed line), so that the tightening force of the belt body 21 drops to a set appropriate tension.

In this way, the user wearing the swimming goggles 1 does not have to worry about the loss caused by the excessive tightening force of the belt body 21. In addition, the user can also apply force when wearing the swimming goggles 1 to make the strap 21 have a greater tightening force, and then stop applying the force to allow the adjustment member 22 and the strap 21 to automatically slide relative to each other. So that the belt body 21 has an appropriate pulling force. It is said that by applying force to reduce the length of the belt body 21 once, the belt body 21 can have an appropriate pulling force.

After the relative sliding movement of the adjusting member 22 and the belt body 21 stops, the user can move the positioning member 23 to abut or approach the adjusting member 22. In this way, the proper lengths of the first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 (that is, the proper position of the adjusting member 22 on the strap 21) can be marked by the positioning member 23, and the user does not need to store or use the swimming goggles 1 when storing or using the swimming goggles 1. It is feared that the adjustment member 22 may be inadvertently slid to the rear by a large amount and the first surrounding portion 211 and the second surrounding portion 212 may be excessively loosened (even if the tightening force of the belt body 21 is lower than the set proper tensile force).

Preferably, the first clamping force applied to the belt body 21 by the adjusting member 22 is less than (that is, not greater than) the second clamping force applied to the belt body 21 by the positioning member, and more preferably, the first clamping force is less than The second clamping force, that is, the positioning member 23 is more difficult to slide on the belt body 21 than the adjustment member 22. In this way, after the positioning member 23 abuts against the adjusting member 22, it can be more ensured that the adjusting member 22 will not slip backward.

Please refer to FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, and FIG. 5, and then the specific structure of the adjusting member 22 and the positioning member 23 will be described. The adjusting member 22 includes a housing 221 and at least one through hole 222 (for example, two through holes 222). The two through holes 222 are disposed on the housing 221 and penetrate the housing 221 back and forth. The perforation 222 may be an oval hole or a round hole. The perforation 222 further includes a plurality of 2221, and the teeth 2221 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the perforation 222. The belt body 21 can pass through the perforations 222 and then be pressed by the teeth 2221, that is, the teeth 2221 can sink into the belt body 21 to deform the belt body 21, thereby increasing the static friction between the teeth 2221 and the belt body 21. By increasing the amount of interference between the teeth 2221 and the belt body 21, the first clamping force applied to the belt body 21 by the adjusting member 22 can be increased.

The positioning member 23 includes a housing 231, a pressing member 232 and a spring 233. Pusher The 232 is partially disposed in the housing 231 and partially protrudes outside the housing 231; the user can press the pressing member 232 to move the pressing member 232 into the housing 231. The spring 233 is disposed in the housing 231 and can be located under the pressing member 232; one end of the spring 233 can abut the housing 231, and the other end abuts the pressing member 232. The housing 231 includes at least one perforation 2311 (or two), and the pressing member 232 also includes at least one perforation 2321 (or two). The inner diameter of the perforation 2311, 2321 may be larger than the outer diameter of the belt 21. The belt body 21 can pass through the through holes 2311, 2321, and then be pressed by the pressing member 232, and clamped by the pressing member 232 and the housing 231. More specifically, the spring 233 pushes the pressing member 232 outward, so that the belt 21 in the perforation 2321 of the pressing member 232 is also pushed, but the belt 21 in the perforation 2311 of the housing 231 is not pushed; therefore, The belt body 21 at the junction of the housing 231 and the pressing member 232 will be bent, and the hole edges of the perforations 2311 and 2321 will sink into the belt body 21, making it difficult for the positioning member 23 and the belt body 21 to slide relatively. By increasing the elastic force of the spring 233, the second clamping force exerted by the positioning member 23 on the belt body 21 can be increased. Once the pressing member 232 is pressed without pressing the belt body 21, the positioning member 23 and the belt body 21 can slide relatively easily. The perforations 2311, 2321 may also include teeth (not shown) to increase the clamping force.

The adjustment member 22 can also adopt the implementation structure of the positioning member 23, and vice versa. In addition to the above-mentioned implementation structure, the adjustment member 22 and the positioning member 23 can also adopt other structures capable of pressing the belt body 21.

Please refer to FIG. 1D again. The fixing member 24 is used to fix the two end portions of the belt body 21 as described above. When the two end portions are integrally formed, bound together, bonded, etc., the fixing member 24 does not need to be provided. In addition, when the two end portions of the belt body 21 are not fixed to each other, the fixing member 24 does not need to be provided.

Please refer to Figure 1B again, the belt body 21 can be bent to form a first surrounding portion 211 and a second surrounding portion 212, and then the bending portion 214 (that is, the connecting portion of the first surrounding portion 21 and the second surrounding portion 212) can be Hook on the side connector 12. Please refer to Figure 6, in other embodiments, the two end portions of the belt body 21 can also be directly fixed to the side connector 12 (bundled on the side connector 12 or clamped by the side connector 12, etc.) to form a single A surrounding portion 212; moving the adjusting member 22 can increase or decrease the length of the surrounding portion 212 to adjust the tightening force of the surrounding portion 212.

In summary, the headband structure proposed by the present invention can automatically adjust the strap body to a proper looseness. The tightness allows the swimming goggles to be worn comfortably and improves the inconvenience of headband length adjustment. In addition to the headband structure can be used in swimming goggles as a component of swimming goggles, the headband structure can also be used in goggles and other devices that can be worn on the head, so that these devices can be worn comfortably .

The above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the implementation mode of the present invention and explain the technical features of the present invention, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any change or equivalence arrangement that can be easily accomplished by a person familiar with this technology belongs to the scope of the present invention, and the scope of protection of the rights of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of the patent application.
