20080301859Bridge Device for Swimming Goggles - A pair of swimming goggles includes two bodies each including an inner side having an upper coupling section on an upper portion thereof and a lower coupling section on a lower portion thereof. A first bridging member includes a first coupling portion on each of two ends thereof. The first coupling portions of the first bridging member are respectively and releasably coupled with two of the upper and lower coupling sections of the bodies. A second bridging member includes a second coupling portion on each of two ends thereof. The second coupling sections of the second bridging member are respectively and releasably coupled with the other two of the upper and lower coupling sections of the bodies. A fixed spacing between the bodies is provided by the first and second bridging members.12-11-2008
20090113608BUCKLE DEVICE FOR SWIMMING/DIVING GOGGLES - A pair of swimming/diving goggles includes a main body and two head strap coupling members respectively provided on two sides of the main body. A board is pivotably mounted in a through-hole in each head strap coupling member. A head strap is extended through the through-hole of each head strap coupling member and around the board. A spacing between the board and the outer end wall of the through-hole of each the head strap coupling member is changeable when the board is pivoted, allowing the head strap to move to adjust a tightening length of the head strap. The head strap exerts a clamping force to clamp the head strap between the board and the outer end wall of the through-hole.05-07-2009
20090205115Strap Adjusting Device for Swimming Goggles - A strap adjusting device includes a buckle having two through-holes spaced by a partitioning wall. A pressing member is slideably and rotatably received in each through-hole. The pressing members are movable relative to the buckle to adjust a distance between each pressing member and a pressing edge in each through-hole. At least one resilient strap is mounted to a body of a pair of swimming goggles and includes two ends each of which is wound around one of the pressing members. The strap is pullable to adjust tightness of the strap when the pair of swimming goggles is worn on the head of the user. The pulling force acting on the strap urges each pressing member to move toward one of the pressing edges to tightly clamp the strap and to fix a length of the strap.08-20-2009
20090288243SWIMMING GOGGLES WITH STRAP POSITIONING FUNCTION - A pair of swimming goggles includes a body having a strap coupling section formed on each of two sides thereof. Each strap coupling section includes front and rear faces, with upper and lower grooves formed in the front face. Each groove includes a slot in an outer end thereof and a through-hole in an inner end thereof. The slots and the through-holes extend from the front face through the rear face. A head strap includes two ends each extending in sequence through one of the slots, one of the grooves, one of the through-holes, the other through-hole, the other groove, and the other slot, with the head strap forming upper and lower clamping sections.11-26-2009
20100175174BRIDGE FOR SWIMMING GOGGLES - A pair of swimming goggles includes two lens assemblies and a bridge mounted between the lens assemblies. An inner side of each lens assembly includes a bridge coupling portion having a longitudinal axis at an acute angle with a central vertical axis of the bridge. The bridge includes two legs and an arcuate section interconnected between upper ends of the legs. The bridge defines a space having increasing widths toward lower ends of the legs coupled with the bridge coupling portions. A spacing between a rear side of the lower end of each leg and a vertical axis extending through a rear side of one of the lens assemblies is smaller than a spacing between a rear side of the arcuate section and the vertical axis. The arcuate section has a rear arcuate face. A spacing from the rear arcuate face to the vertical axis decreases downward.07-15-2010
20100257660SWIMMING OR DIVING GOGGLES - Swimming or diving goggles includes a lens unit including two viewing sections. A front face of each viewing section is a portion of a peripheral face of a cone. The cone has an apex and a bottom face, and the peripheral face extends between the apex and the bottom face. A spacing from a top face of each viewing section to a vertical axis passing through a center of the bottom face in the thickness direction is smaller than a spacing from a bottom face of the viewing section to the vertical axis in the thickness direction. A normal plane perpendicular to each of the two viewing sections is at an acute angle with the vertical axis. Each viewing section is a curved face in a circumferential direction about the vertical axis. A frame mechanism is coupled to the lens unit and in intimate contact with eye sockets of a wearer.10-14-2010
20100313339SWIMMING OR DIVING GOGGLES - Swimming or diving goggles includes a lens unit and a frame mechanism coupled to the lens unit. The lens unit includes two viewing sections each having a front face that is a portion of a peripheral face extending between an apex and a bottom face of a cone. The apex is below the bottom face of the cone. A vertical axis passes through a center of the bottom face of the cone. A spacing from a top edge of each viewing section to the vertical axis in a thickness direction is smaller than a spacing from a bottom edge of the viewing section to the vertical axis in the thickness direction A normal plane perpendicular to each viewing section is at an acute angle with the vertical axis. Each viewing section is a curved face in a circumferential direction about the vertical axis. The swimming or diving goggles is ergonomic and more water-tight.12-16-2010
20110258761SWIMMING GOGGLES - A pair of swimming goggles includes two rigid lenses each having an extension. A stub is formed on a front side of each extension, and a button is formed on a distal end of the stub. A frame includes two ring portions receiving the lenses. Each ring portion includes a receptacle extending into an outer side of the ring portion. The outer side of each ring portion includes front and rear walls delimiting the receptacle, and a through-hole extends through the front wall. The extensions of the lens are received in the receptacles. The stub of each lens extends through the through-hole of the outer side of one of the ring portions. The button of each lens is located outside of the frame. A coupling plate is mounted to each lens and has a through-hole through which the stub of one of the lenses extends.10-27-2011

20100296047EYEWEAR FOR USE ON LAND - Eyewear includes a lens unit and a frame mechanism coupled to the lens unit. The lens unit includes two viewing sections each having a front face that is a portion of a peripheral face extending between an apex and a bottom face of a cone. The apex is below the bottom face of the cone. A vertical axis passes through a center of the bottom face of the cone. A spacing from a top edge of each viewing section to the vertical axis in a thickness direction is smaller than a spacing from a bottom edge of the viewing section to the vertical axis in the thickness direction A normal plane perpendicular to each viewing section is at an acute angle with the vertical axis. Each viewing section is a curved face in a circumferential direction about the vertical axis.11-25-2010

20090064398Swimming Goggles with a Frameless Unitary Len - The present invention discloses a pair of holistically designed swimming goggles, including a unitary len, a len-receiving pad, and a securing strap. The specialized unitary len includes a front-lateral curve, a len-pad engaging rim and a len-strap engaging window. The front-lateral curve is a smooth transition between an up-front view and a lateral view without an angle formed threrein. The len-receiving pad includes a pad-len engaging rim, a pad-len engaging rim extension, and a pad-face contact.03-12-2009
20090064399Frame-Reduced Swim Goggles with Angle-Free Lens - The present invention discloses a pair of holistically designed swimming goggles, including two lens, two lens-receiving pads, and one or more head securing straps. The specialized lens includes a lens-pad engaging area, a lens-strap engaging piece, and a smooth curve transition between its front and lateral view without having an angle formed therein. Each of lens-receiving pads includes a loop-like lens-receiver, a pad extension, an eyes-goggles interface and a nose bridge. The secure engagement between lens and lens-receiving pads is achieved by having a substantially increased contact area between them.03-12-2009
