Abstract
An improved pair of swim goggles, especially designed for competitive swimming, is comprised of two substantially ovoid, convex lenses secured to a soft neoprene base. The goggles are simply and easily tightened about the head by a one pull toggle mechanism that provides an equal, balanced fit of the eye pieces against the face. The goggles provide less hydrodynamic resistance in the water during swimming and not only reduces fatigue by cutting down on eye strain but allows the swimmer both superior frontal and peripheral vision.
Claims15
A pair of swim goggles comprising:
- a) a seamless ovoid and convex-shaped pair of lenses,
- b) a pair of barbed pointed posts having base portions attached to said pair of lenses;
- c) a nose piece comprising resilient tubing, said pair of barbed pointed posts being disposed within the end portions of said resilient tubing,
- d) a substantially flexible support for symmetrical containment of said lenses, and;
- e) a head-strap attached at the distal ends of said support for securing said goggles to a face of a wearer.
An improved pair of competition swim goggles comprising seamless, substantially symmetrical, ovoid-shaped lenses maintained in an eye-engaging spatial relationship by means of a one piece neoprene foam support that is secured to the face of the wearer by a toggle lock tightened head-strap, and a resilient nose piece comprised of rubberized tubing and a pair of barber pointed posts that are attached to said lenses, said rubberized tubing being pulled over said pair of barbed posts.
