Abstract
A braided goggle strap for use with a pair of swimming goggles includes a plurality of bands that are braided together to form a generally flat, braided goggle strap. Each of the plurality of bands includes an elastic material that is protected by a resilient fabric material to provide superior mechanical properties that results in even stress distribution and minimal sinusoidal stress when worn by a user. The composite reinforcement of the braided goggle strap also provides added comfort. The braided goggle strap includes a biased fastener for adjustably attaching the braided strap onto a user's head, is easily attachable to a pair of swimming goggles by simply threading the braided strap through the small apertures provided on the swimming goggles, and comes in a variety of different colors.
Claims18
A braided goggle strap comprising:
- a plurality of bands braided together to form a braided elongated body having a first end and a second end opposite said first end, each of said plurality of bands being separate and distinct from one another and including a resilient material having a resilient fabric covering;
- a first band extension being a portion of one of said plurality of bands and extending a length from said first end;
- a second band extension being a portion of either, said one of said plurality of bands or another one of said plurality of bands and extending a length from said second end;
- a bias fastener operated to releasably grip onto said plurality of bands for securely attaching said braided goggle strap onto a user's head;
- and
- wherein each of said band extension is dimensioned to removably slide through a pair of small apertures formed on a pair of swimming goggles.
A resilient braided swimming goggle strap comprising:
- a plurality of resilient strands interlaced together to form said resilient braided swimming goggle strap having opposite ends;
- a first extension extending from one of said opposite ends, and a second extension extending from another of said opposite ends, said extensions removeably inserted within corresponding apertures of swimming goggles to form a first attachment strap and a second attachment strap;
- and
- a bias fastener operated to releasably grip onto said resilient braided goggle strap for securely tightening and attaching the first attachment strap and the second attachment strap securely around a user's head for securing a pair of goggles in place.
A braided strap releasably attachable to a pair of goggles having a nose bridge disposed between a pair of eye cups and apertures disposed on peripheral edges of said eye cups, said braided strap comprising:
- a plurality of resilient bands braided together to form said braided strap having a first end opposite a second end, each of said plurality of resilient bands including a planar geometric shape, and a resilient material having an outer resilient fabric;
- a first band extending from said first end;
- a second band extending from said second end;
- and
- a fastener releasably biased to adjustably tighten said braided strap around a user's head to secure said eye cups over both eyes of said user.
