Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention discloses a swimming goggle storage case having a structure that is simpler than the prior art, making it very easy to use and allowing dehumidifiers or moisture on the lenses to dry out easily. Background Art

[0002] Goggles used for swimming or playing in the water are usually stored in a goggle case after use to prevent deformation and protect the lenses and other parts.

[0003] The existing swimming goggle box is formed in a sealed plastic form, and is opened and closed by an additional opening and closing device after the swimming goggles are placed in it.

[0004] However, when an additional opening and closing device is provided, its manufacture is complicated and the manufacturing cost is very high, thereby increasing the unit price of the swimming goggle box, and its use is also more troublesome.

[0005] Furthermore, existing goggle cases made of relatively hard materials are easily damaged when dropped. Since the goggles are formed in a sealed structure, they cannot be properly dried after use. Therefore, moisture containing residual foreign matter may cause damage to the lenses or the goggles themselves or cause odor.

[0006] Meanwhile, even a swimming goggles case product with an opening and closing structure based on a lid still has the trouble of opening and closing the lid.

[0012] Korean Patent No. 0446210 (Announcement Date: November 8, 2004) Summary of the Invention

[0013] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a swimming goggle storage case that reduces the cost of manufacturing the swimming goggle storage case and thus lowers the unit price, and can not only prevent damage but also easily dry the swimming goggle storage case.

[0014] As a solution to the aforementioned problems, the present invention discloses a goggle storage case with improved usability and drying capabilities. The goggle storage case, capable of storing goggles, comprises: a pair of lens protection portions that encase the pair of lenses that comprise the goggles; a connecting portion that connects one side of the lens protection portions that face each other, allowing the connecting portion that comprises the goggles to be inserted therethrough; and a strap insertion portion that extends from the other side of each lens protection portion, allowing the strap that comprises the goggles to be inserted therethrough in an inward and outward manner.

[0015] Furthermore, preferably, each of the lens protection parts is formed with a slot for inserting the lens in a form-fitting manner, and the rear of the slot is open.

[0016] Moreover, the connecting part includes: a cutting part, which is formed in a cutting manner to allow the connecting part to enter and exit; and a through hole, which is connected to the cutting part and allows the connecting part to be inserted through; preferably, a plurality of through holes are formed in the connecting part in a manner of having different diameters and connected to each other.

[0017] Moreover, preferably, each of the strap insertion portions includes: a pair of protrusions, which are formed to protrude toward each other continuously on the upper and lower portions of the lens protection portion; and a pair of grooves, which are formed on the outer surfaces of each of the protrusions opposite to each other; the pair of grooves are formed in a manner having a long hole shape formed by perforation and allow the strap to be inserted through, and a cutting gap is formed at each end formed on the pair of protrusions opposite to each other, which is normally connected to the groove so that the strap can enter and exit the inside and outside of the strap insertion portion.

[0018] Furthermore, preferably, the swimming goggle storage cover is formed of an elastic silicone material so that the elastic force of the connecting portion is stronger than the elastic force of the lens protection portion or the strap insertion portion.

[0019] According to the present invention, unlike the prior art, the swimming goggles are stored in the lens protection portion by wrapping the lenses in a manner that prevents damage to the outer surfaces of the pair of lenses, and can be easily grasped or carried by the user through the strap insertion portion. The swimming goggles can be stored after selectively passing the connecting portion through through holes of different sizes formed in the connecting portion, which is expected to reduce production costs and lower the unit price.

[0020] Moreover, unlike the prior art, the rear of the slots formed on each of the pair of lens protection parts has an open structure that can be exposed to the outside air, so that moisture or dehumidifiers on the inner surface of the lens can be easily dried.

[0021] Furthermore, unlike the prior art, the present invention has an open structure without an opening and closing structure for storing the swimming goggles, thereby solving the problem of complicated and inconvenient use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] In addition, when describing the present invention below, if it is considered that the detailed description of a well-known structure or function may unnecessarily obscure the main purpose of the present invention, its detailed description will be omitted.

[0033] The swimming goggle storage cover (hereinafter referred to as "storage cover") with improved usability and drying function of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Before proceeding, the storage case 1 of the present invention can be molded from a synthetic resin material such as silicone that is colored and elastic, as needed. Although swimming goggles are used as an example below, this is only one example. Please note that the storage case 1 of the present invention can also be used for ski goggles, such as skiing or snowboarding, as needed.

[0035] First, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the storage case 1 of the present invention mainly includes a lens protection portion 100 , a connecting portion 200 and a strap insertion portion 300 .

[0036] More specifically, the lens protection portion 100 not only easily dries out moisture caused by the outside air while storing the swimming goggles 10 and protecting the pair of lenses 11 that constitute the swimming goggles 10, but also easily dries out the dehumidifier (anti-fog agent) applied on the inner surface of the lenses 11. The lens protection portion 100 includes a slot 110 and an extension portion 120.

[0037] For example, as shown in the drawings, the lens protection portion 100 is formed into a pair of opposite sides so as to be continuous with a connecting portion 200 to be described later and wrap around the outer surface of the swimming goggle 10 .

[0038] To this end, each lens protection portion 100 has a slot 110 formed therein for inserting the outer surface of the lens 11 in an interference fit manner. The slot 110 can be deformed according to the shape of the lens 11 .

[0039] At this time, preferably, the rear side of each slot 110 is open to contact the outside air, so that not only the moisture on the inner surface of the lens 11 can be dried, but also the moisture coating agent applied to the inner surface can be easily dried.

[0040] The pair of lens protection parts 100 and the pair of lenses 11 provided on the swimming goggles 10 are fitted together in an interference fit manner, so that the user can easily move and store the swimming goggles 10 by simply holding the strap 15 formed on the swimming goggles 10 when the swimming goggles 10 are stored in the storage case 1.

[0041] On the other hand, the lens protection portion 100 of the present invention is further formed with extension portions 120 extending rearward from the upper and lower portions of each lens protection portion 100 so as to prevent the outer surface of the lens 11 from being exposed to the outside.

[0042] Thus, even if the storage case 1 containing the swimming goggles 10 is dropped, the entire outer surface of the lens 11 can be prevented from being scratched or otherwise damaged.

[0043] As mentioned above, the lens protection portion 100 of the present invention conforms to an open structure as a whole, which can solve the inconvenience of opening a cover compared to the prior art, and can also significantly improve the drying effect.

[0044] The connecting portion 200 is configured to connect the pair of lens protection portions 100 and allow the connecting portion 13 of the swimming goggles 10 to be inserted therethrough. The connecting portion 200 , together with the extending portion 120 , prevents the swimming goggles 10 stored in the storage case 1 from being separated. The connecting portion 200 includes a cutout portion 210 and a through hole 220 .

[0045] For example, the connecting portion 200 can be formed to be harder than the elastic lens protection portion 100 or the strap insertion portion 300 described later. This prevents the connecting portion 13 inserted into the through hole 220 from being disengaged from the through hole 220 when the user moves while carrying the storage case 1.

[0046] As shown in the figure, the cutting portion 210 starts from the outer surface of the connecting portion 200 and is cut in a manner that at least two or more through holes 220 formed in the connecting portion 200 are interconnected and conform to a structure that allows the connecting portion 13 to enter and exit from one of the through holes 220 according to the size of the connecting portion 13.

[0047] To this end, the multiple through holes 220 punched on the connecting portion 200 can be formed with different perforation sizes. Although the present invention is illustrated by an example of a circular shape, this is only one embodiment. It can also be formed into a square shape according to the shape of the connecting portion 13.

[0048] On the other hand, although not shown, a plurality of protrusions (not shown) may be formed protrudingly inside each through hole 220 to pressurize the outer surface of the inserted connecting portion 13 to improve the fixing force between the swimming goggles 10 and the storage case 1 .

[0049] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the strap insertion portion 300 is formed continuously with the extension portion 120 formed on each other side of the lens protection portion 100 that is not connected to each other by the connecting portion 200, and allows the strap 15 of the swimming goggles 10 to be inserted therethrough, thereby enabling the swimming goggles 10 stored in the storage case 1 to be carried. To this end, the strap insertion portion 300 includes a protrusion 310 and a groove 320.

[0050] For example, a pair of protrusions 310 are formed on the other side of each lens protection portion 100 in such a manner that the extension portions 120 formed on the upper portion and the lower portion extend upward and downward, respectively.

[0051] At this time, preferably, the ends of the pair of protrusions 310 extending upward and downward are formed with cutout gaps 311 that can make surface contact with each other, thereby having a structure that allows the belt 15 to enter and exit the outside of the storage case 1.

[0052] The cutout gap 311 allows the strap 15 to be freely inserted and removed, thereby easily storing the storage case 1 and the swimming goggles 10 .

[0053] At the same time, on the outer surface of each protrusion 310 protruding with a cutting gap 311, a groove 320 is perforated in a manner having a symmetrical structure relative to each other to allow the belt 15 entering through the cutting gap 311 to pass through and be inserted. In view of the shape of the belt 15, a pair of the grooves 320 relative to each other have a long hole shape.

[0054] As previously described, unlike the prior art, the storage case 1 of the present invention wraps the goggles 10 within the lens protection portion 100 to prevent damage to the outer surfaces of the pair of lenses 11. Furthermore, the goggles 10 can be easily held or carried by the user via the strap insertion portion 300. Furthermore, the connection portion 13 can be selectively passed through the through-holes 220 of varying sizes formed in the connecting portion 200 for storage, thereby potentially reducing production costs and unit prices.

[0055] Furthermore, unlike the prior art, the rear of the slots 110 formed on each of the pair of lens protection parts 100 has an open structure that can be exposed to the outside air, so that moisture or dehumidifiers on the inner surface of the lens 11 can be easily dried.

[0056] Furthermore, unlike the prior art, the present invention has an open structure without an opening and closing structure for storing the swimming goggles, thereby solving the problem of complicated and inconvenient use.

[0057] As mentioned above, although the foregoing text only illustrates the present invention through specific matters such as specific components and limited embodiments and drawings, it is only for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention as a whole. The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and a person with general knowledge in this field can make various deformations and modifications based on the above-mentioned description.

[0058] Therefore, the spirit of the present invention cannot be limited to the embodiments described above. The spirit of the present invention includes not only the claims, but also everything that is equivalent to the claims or has equivalent variations.
