Abstract
The goggle mounting system comprises protective goggles which carry one strap on each side for attachment to a helmet. The straps are flexible and resilient. The attachment of the straps to the helmet is such that the strap on only one side is easily disconnectable, while the strap on the other side is pivoted to the helmet and remains connected. The strap fasteners differ from one another in that one strap is attached to the helmet by means of mating sections of Velcro, respectively attached to the side of the helmet and the other fixedly attached to the strap. The other strap is attached to the helmet by a resilient snap fixed to the helmet and a mating member on the end of the strap.
Claims23
A goggle mounting system comprising:
- first and second tabs;
- said first tab having means thereon for attachment to the first strap of a two strap goggle and having separate means thereon for pivotal attachment to one side of a helmet, said attachment means enabling detachment of the first tab from the helmet but preventing detachment of the first tab when the first tab is pulled outward away from the helmet;
- said second tab having means thereon for attachment to the opposite strap of the two strap goggle from the strap to which said first tab is attached, said second tab also having means thereon for non-pivotable attachment to an opposite side of a helmet, the attachment means for the second tab being positionally adjustable along the helmet for adjusting the tension on the goggle straps, and detachable from the helmet by an outward pull away from the helmet.
A goggle mounting system for connecting goggles to a helmet comprising:
- a goggle;
- a helmet;
- first and second flexible resilient straps, each of said straps having a goggle end and a helmet end, said goggle ends of both said first and second straps being connected to said goggles, each at an opposite end of said goggle;
- means for releasably and rotatably attaching said first strap to one side of said helmet while preventing detachment of the first strap from the helmet by an outward pull away from the helmet;
- and
- means for releasably and non-rotatably attaching said second strap to the other side of said helmet, said second strap attachment means being positionally adjustable along the helmet for adjusting the tension on the goggle straps in accordance with the position of the second strap attachment means on the helmet.
A goggle mounting system for connecting goggles to a helmet comprising:
- a goggle, said goggle having first and second ends;
- a helmet, said helmet having first and second sides;
- first and second flexible and resilient straps, said first and second straps being respectively fixedly attached to said goggle respectively at said first and second ends of said goggle;
- first and second tabs, said first and second flexible and resilent straps being respectively adjustably attached to said first and second tabs;
- first attachment means for non-adjustably, pivotally and removably attaching said first tab to said first side of said helmet, said first attachment means comprising a post mounted on said first side of said helmet releasably engaging in a keyhole opening in said first tab, whereby said first tab is held on the helmet against outward pulling away from the helmet;
- second attachment means for releasably, adjustably and non-rotatably attaching said second tab to said second side of said helmet, said second attachment means comprising first and second mating hook and eye fastener pieces, one of said hook and eye fastener pieces being fixedly attached to said second side of said helmet and the other of said hook and eye fastener pieces being fixedly attached to said second tab so that said second tab can be detached, adjusted and attached with respect to said helmet.
