Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

This invention relates to swimming goggles. More specifically, it relates to means for forming a bridge between both eye frames.

[0002]

Swimming goggles are used to protect the eyes during swimming from harmful substances such as residual chlorine in pools. Water leakage into the binocular frame, which is tightly fitted around the eyes, is extremely disliked. The goggle band is wrapped around the head and the outer edges of the binocular frame are elastically fitted around each eye. Blits are used to elastically connect the binocular frames so as to adjust the distance between the binocular frames corresponding to the distance between the binocular frames. When the goggle band is wrapped around the head and the binocular frame is attached to the face, the tension of the goggle band acts on the bridge.

Since conventional bridges are made of a hard resin such as polycarbonate, the tension of the goggle band is not fully utilized. Therefore, the bridge that does not deform smoothly hits the nose and damages the nose.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a swimming goggle which can fully utilize the tension of an expanding and contracting bridge so as not to damage the nose.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a binocular frame independent type swimming goggles at low cost.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a swimming goggle in which the bridge band and the goggle body can be easily attached and detached.

Next, the procedure for constructing the bridge 6 will be described with reference to FIG. The free end 7 of the flexible bridge band 7
A is twisted and adjusted to pass between the first left side connecting portion 15L and the second left side connecting portion 16L. At this time, the other end has a stopper function.

The free end portion 7a is turned to the outside of the lower convex portion 12L, that is, to the front of the upper convex portion 11L and the lower convex portion 12L (upward from the paper surface in FIG. 2). Advance this free end. First left connecting portion 15L, upper convex portion 11L, lower convex portion 12L
If the free end is passed between and, the subsequent work becomes difficult. The free end portion 7a is turned to the outside of the lower convex portion 12R, that is, the upper convex portion 1R.
1R, above the lower convex portion 12R (above the paper surface in FIG. 2).

The flexible free end portion 7a is turned to the outside (left side in FIG. 3) of the second right side connecting portion 16R by twisting to the second side.
It is passed between the right side connecting portion 16R and the first right side connecting portion 15R. The free end thus passed is turned to the outside of the lower convex portion 12R, that is, to the front of the upper convex portion 11R and the lower convex portion 12R (above the paper surface in FIG. 2).

The side end of such a free end is provided with the upper convex portion 11
After passing through the gap 13R between the R and the lower convex portion 12R and twisting the free end so as to be bent from the center line, the side end opposite to the free end is the gap 13 between the upper convex portion 11R and the lower convex portion 12R.
Pass through R. Similarly, the side end of the other portion 7b of the bridge band 7 is passed through the gap 13R between the upper convex portion 11R and the lower convex portion 12R, and the free end is twisted so as to be bent from the center line, and the side opposite to the free end is formed. The end has an upper convex portion 11R and a lower convex portion 1
Pass it through the gap 13R from the 2R.

Further, the side end of the other portion 7c of the bridge band 7 is provided with a gap 13L between the upper convex portion 11L and the lower convex portion 12L.
Then, the free end is twisted so as to be bent from the center line, and the side end opposite to the free end is passed through the gap 13L between the upper convex portion 11L and the lower convex portion 12L.

Both frames 1R, 1L receive uniform tension from both sides. The goggle band stretched around the head and slippery with respect to the hair and the hat is deformed in the direction in which the spaces between the frames are shortened, that is, in the direction in which the frames are loosened. The distance between frames is shortened by the tension of the bridge band 7,
The two frames do not stick together. The end portion of the bridge band 7 on the frame 1L side has a large thickness width unlike other portions. The end with the large thickness serves as a stopper. When both frames 1R and 1L are pulled away from each other, the stoppers are connected to the first left side connecting portion 15L and the second left connecting portion 15L.
It is sandwiched between the left connecting portion 16L and completely prevented from coming out. The other end of the bridge band 7 receives a large frictional force between the first right side connecting portion 15R and the second right side connecting portion 16R in a bent state, and receives a larger frictional force as the tensile force increases. Since the bridge band 7 is soft, it will not be stretched and hit the nose, and at the same time it will not be loosened.

The bridge composed of the bridge band 7, the bridge left end portion 5L and the bridge right end portion 5R has a center-to-center distance between the bridge left end portion 5L and the bridge right end portion 5R. When the goggle band 5 is turned around and applied with tension, a tensile force is generated in the bridge band 7. The portion where the bridge band 7 that receives this tensile force extends is a section of the center-to-center distance.

When the distance between the frames 1L and 1R does not match the interocular distance, the portion 7 of the bridge band 7
b and 7c are the gap 1 between the upper convex portion 11R and the lower convex portion 12R.
It is possible to change the center-to-center distance between the bridge left end 5L and the bridge right end 5R by removing from the gap 13L between the 3R and the upper protrusion 11L and the lower protrusion 12L.

The free end 7a of the bridging band 7, which hangs as shown in FIG. 1, may come into contact with the nose. The soft elastomeric bridging band 7 that touches the nose does not hurt the skin surface of the nose.

Bridge left end 5L and bridge right end 5R
In order to connect the bridge band 7 between both parts so as to connect with each other, between the first left side connecting part 15L and the second left side connecting part 16L, and the first right side connecting part 15R and the second right side connecting part 16R. Since the bridge band 7 is passed between the upper convex portion 11L and the lower convex portion 12L and between the upper convex portion 11R and the lower convex portion 12R after passing the bridge band 7 between the The concatenation operation is virtually possible. (Other Embodiments) In the first embodiment, the bridge band 7 is
All parts are uniform strips with the same width and thickness throughout,
Therefore, the free end portion 7a has the same width and the same thickness as the other portions. The free end 7 of the bridge band 7 shown in FIG.
a

[0038]

According to the swimming goggles of the present invention,
The user can easily adjust the distance between the frames on both sides. Tension is always applied between the frames on both sides, and even force is applied to the entire frame, so water leakage is completely prevented. Since one side has a stopper, the operation of connecting the bridge bands is easy. The contact with the face is soft. Users who are sensitive to modern fashion can choose their favorite bridgeband color in light of the frame. The hardness and color of the bridge band can be freely selected.
