Claims18
A ventilation system for readily and removably attaching to a frame of goggles, the frame comprising a top component that during use of the goggles is above a user's eyes, that reduces fogging in an interior portion of the goggles so as to provide a user wearing the goggles with unobstructed vision, the ventilation system comprising:
- a fan;
- a battery;
- an enclosure housing the fan and the battery;
- and
- an attachment system for readily and removably attaching said ventilation system enclosure to said frame, the attachment system comprising:
- a bridge;
- a first post having a first end fixedly attached to the enclosure and a second end protruding to the exterior of the enclosure;
- a first fastener interfaced with the bridge;
- wherein the first post is configured to extend through the top component of the frame of the goggles to couple with the first fastener, such that the top component of the frame of the goggles is disposed between the enclosure and the bridge so that the enclosure is positioned interior to the goggles, and
- wherein the ventilation system is configured to eject water vapor from the interior portion of the goggles to reduce relative humidity in the interior portion of the goggles.
A ventilation system for goggles that reduces fogging in an interior portion of the goggles, the goggles comprising a frame having a top component that during use of the goggles is above a user's eyes, so as to provide the user wearing the goggles with unobstructed vision, the ventilation system comprising:
- an enclosure comprising:
- a first distal end section;
- a second distal end section oppositely disposed from said first distal end;
- a mid-section disposed between the first and second distal ends, wherein the mid-section is forward of said first and second distal ends;
- and
- an intake formed in said first distal end section;
- a fan;
- and
- a humidity sensor adjacent to said second distal end section;
- and
- an attachment system for readily and removably attaching the ventilation system enclosure to a goggles frame, the attachment system comprising:
- a bridge;
- a first post having a first end fixedly attached to the enclosure and so that a second end of the post extends to the exterior of the enclosure;
- a first fastener interfaced with the bridge;
- wherein the first post is configured to extend through the top component of the frame of the goggles to couple with the first fastener, such that the top component of the frame of the goggles is disposed between the bridge and the enclosure so that the enclosure is positioned interior to the goggles, and
