US 7,024,705 B2 · Swimming goggles

Abstract

A pair of swimming goggles of the present invention comprises a pair of left and right lens frames which respectively include an outer surface and an inner surface and receive a pair of lenses, a bridge member disposed at the upper edges of the inner sides of the left and right lens frames, and a head strap means disposed at the outer sides of the left and right lens frames. The feature of the present invention is that the head strap means at least includes a first thread, a second thread, and a pair of adjustment fasteners disposed at the first and second threads, wherein the first thread is disposed at the upper position of the outer sides of the left and right frames, and the second thread is disposed at the lower position of the outer sides of the left and right frames. Thus, the adjustment fasteners properly adjust the first and second threads thereby providing different application lengths for the first and second threads and providing a desired pull force such that the upper and lower edges of the lens frames are adjusted to comfortably contact with the periphery of the eye holes and a desired refraction effect of the lenses in water is achieved.

Dependent claims

A pair of swimming goggles, comprises:

a left lens frame and a right lens frame, each lens frame including an outer surface and an inner surface, a receiving groove being defined between the inner and outer surfaces for receiving a lens;
a bridge member disposed at the inner sides of the left and right lens frames;
and
a head strap means, including a first and second threads respectively disposed at an upper position of the outer sides of the left and right lens frames, a third thread disposed at a lower position of the outer sides of the left and right lens frames, and an adjustment fastener disposed at each of the first, second and third threads, wherein a recess is defined on an upper position of the outer side of each of the left and right lens frames, wherein an elongated round assembly hole is defined within the recess for allowing the first and second threads to extend therethrough, wherein a rigid body defining a hole therethrough is assembled into the recess for preventing an undesired deformation of the recess caused by pull force in use when the first and second threads extend through the recess.
