Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a goggle pad, specifically a goggle pad that, when attached to goggles, conforms naturally to the area around the eye sockets without requiring excessive pressure, providing comfort for users with different facial contours and eliminating concerns about water leakage. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, the main function of swimming goggle pads is to provide comfort to the wearer and prevent water leakage. Currently, swimming goggle pads are broadly divided into two categories: foam pads and suction cup pads. Among these, foam pads... Figure 7 The foam is glued to the face-facing side of the frame, while the suction cup pads are generally manually fitted onto the perimeter of the face-facing side of the frame. Figure 8 ), or it can be injection molded as a single piece onto the side of the frame that touches the face ( Figure 9 ).
[0003] However, because the area around the eye socket has an undulating contour—protruding between the eyebrows and eyes, concave near the bridge of the nose on the inner side of the eyes, protruding on the cheekbones near the eye bags, and concave at the outer corner of the eyes—existing foam or suction cup padding technology cannot reliably conform to the contours around the eye socket without the tightness of the goggles' headband, leading to potential water leakage. In other words, existing foam padding technology, due to limitations in the softness and hardness of the foam material and the adhesive application process, can only achieve a relatively small undulating surface shape. Even when tightly secured to the headband after assembly with the goggles, it cannot perfectly match the undulating contours around the eye socket, resulting in potential water leakage. Furthermore, the softness and hardness of the foam material also affects wearing comfort. Suction cup pads require suction to achieve a water-tight effect. However, if there is not enough suction when wearing them, they cannot fit properly around the eye sockets, which may lead to water leakage. Therefore, to avoid water leakage, excessively pulling and tightening the headband often results in panda eyes.
[0004] Therefore, the development of a comfortable and waterproof goggle pad seems to be what the industry is hoping for. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a goggle pad that, when assembled onto the goggles, does not require excessive pressure from the headband of the goggles. It can provide a natural fit to users with different facial contours, following the contours around the eye sockets, creating a soft sealing ring. This not only eliminates the risk of water leakage but also ensures comfortable wear and prevents panda eyes.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a swimming goggle pad, which includes: a body; the body is made of a solid plastic or rubber soft material with a hardness level of shore. The mask, rated A10-20 (Shore Hardness Unit), has a connecting part for fixing to the swimming goggles and a face-fitting part that contacts the face. The face-fitting part has a first circumferential surface and a second circumferential surface with a wavy profile. The wavy profile of the first circumferential surface extends from the side of the bridge of the nose along the lower part of the eyebrow to the corner of the eye (i.e., the upper half of the eye socket profile). The wavy profile of the second circumferential surface extends from the corner of the eye of the first circumferential surface along the lower part of the eye bag to the side of the bridge of the nose next to the tear duct, and connects with the side of the bridge of the nose of the first circumferential surface (i.e., the lower half of the eye socket profile). Thus, when assembled onto the swimming goggles and worn, the deformable properties of the solid soft material, combined with the aforementioned wavy profile design of the first and second circumferential surfaces, allow the upper and lower edges of the face-fitting part of the mask to naturally conform to the area below the eyebrow and under the eye bag around the eye socket, providing comfortable wear for users with different face shapes and preventing water leakage.
[0007] Based on the above, the pad has at least one groove on the assembly part. The groove can be used to adjust the pad's soft material that is in contact with the face, which is easily deformable and has a wave-shaped design, so as to naturally adjust the eye sockets of different wearers according to the eye socket contours.

[0022] In the embodiments described below, the positional relationships include: up, down, left, and right. Unless otherwise specified, they are all based on the direction shown by the components in the diagram.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the swimming goggle pad 1 of this application. The swimming goggle pad 1 includes: a body 10; the body 10 is a solid plastic (thermoplastic rubber) or a soft rubber (thermosetting silicone) material with a hardness level of Shore A10-20 (Shore hardness unit). In this embodiment, the body 10 is made of thermoplastic rubber (TPR) with a hardness level of Shore A13. The body 10 has an assembly part 11 and a face-fitting part 12. The assembly part 11 can be integrally injection-molded, glued, or embedded and assembled with the swimming goggles. In this embodiment, the assembly part 11 is provided with a slot 111, which is connected to the frame of the swimming goggles (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 4 (As shown by the dotted line) The embedded card assembly is fixed in one piece. Additionally, please cooperate with... Figure 2 and Figure 4 Upon inspection, the connecting part 11 has a groove 110, which, in conjunction with the face-fitting part 12, allows for natural micro-adjustment around the eye sockets of different wearers to achieve a proper fit (explained later). The face-fitting part 12 is for contact with the face; please use it in conjunction with... Figure 2 and Figure 3Viewed, it has a first circumferential surface 121 and a second circumferential surface 122 with a wavy outline. The wavy outline of the first circumferential surface 121 extends from the side of the bridge of the nose along the lower part of the eyebrow to the corner of the eye, that is, the upper half of the outline of the eye socket. The wavy outline of the second circumferential surface 122 extends from the corner of the eye of the first circumferential surface along the lower part of the eye bag to the side of the bridge of the nose next to the tear gland of the eye, and connects with the side of the bridge of the nose of the first circumferential surface, that is, the lower half of the outline of the eye socket.
[0024] If so, the goggle pad 1 of this application is assembled onto the goggles (e.g. Figure 5 When worn, the deformable nature of the solid thermoplastic rubber material of the main body 10, combined with the wave-shaped design of the first and second circumferential surfaces 121 and 122 of the face-fitting part 12, allows the upper and lower edges of the face-fitting part 12 of the pad 1 to naturally conform to the area below the eyebrows and under the eye bags and around the eye sockets, thus providing comfort for users with different facial contours and preventing water leakage.
[0025] Please refer to further information. Figure 6 Cooperate Figure 5 Upon observation, Figure 6 The diagram illustrates how the goggle pad of this application fits snugly around the eye socket when worn on the face. As shown, the body 10 of the goggle pad 1 utilizes the deformable properties of solid thermoplastic rubber. The headband of the goggles does not require excessive pressure on the pad 1, allowing users with different facial contours to wear it naturally and snugly around the eye socket, creating a soft, sealing ring. This not only eliminates concerns about water leakage but also ensures comfortable wear and prevents dark circles. Furthermore, the groove 110 (… Figure 5 The cushioning space provided allows for fine-tuning according to the eye socket contours of different wearers, so that the wavy contours of the upper first circumference 121 and lower second circumference 122 of the face-contacting part of the pad 1 naturally conform to the eye sockets below the eyebrows and under the eye bags of users with different facial contours, thus providing a comfortable wearing experience and preventing water leakage.

Any person skilled in the art may make some modifications or alterations to other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical means disclosed in this application, but these should still be regarded as the technology or embodiments that are substantially the same as those of this application.
