Goggles

Goggles for use in athletic events and adapted to make a watertight seal around the eyes of the wearer comprising:

• a pair of eyepieces interconnected by a flexible, elastic nosepiece, each eyepiece comprising an integrally formed body, said body having a forward lens portion and a head-fitting portion contour, said contour including transverse generally incurved upper and lower portions for conforming to the forwardly facing surfaces of the human skull defining the upper and lower eye socket margins of the user and upstanding inside and outside excurved portions for conforming to the forwardly facing skull surfaces defining the inside and outside margins of the eye socket of the user in the vicinities of the nose and temporal areas of the skull, an eye socket contacting surface defined along said incurved and excurved portions, said surface sloping radially forward and outward toward the front of said goggles in the areas of said upper, inner and lower portions of said contour for producing a radially outward pressure on the eye socket of the user and sloping radially rearwardly and outwardly toward the rear of the goggles in the area of the outer portion of said contour, and a head band attached to and extending between the outer sides of the eyepieces for producing radial inward pressure on the temporal eye socket area of the user, the adjacent ends of said excurved and incurved portions as well as adjacent portions of said forwardly and rearwardly sloping surfaces merging smoothly together independent of abrupt changes in slope and radius of curvature.
