Swimming goggles

Abstract

Swimming goggles comprise a left frame body, a right frame body, lenses, a connecting element, each of the left and right frame bodies having an outer peripheral face, and the outer peripheral faces forming a combination base having a first platform and a second platform thereon, the first platform forming a combination element; the connecting element interconnecting the left and right frame bodies and forming a surface side and a nasal side, the nasal side forming a first junction and a second junction with respect to the first platform and the second platform, respectively, the first junction forming a clamping hole corresponding to the combination element, the nasal side being conformed to the contour of the combination bases, wherein the nasal side and the combination bases together form a smooth surface which could be perfectly fit into both sides of the nose bridge for comfortably wearing in swimming.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to swimming goggles, and particularly to swimming goggles made for racing, capable of fitting to both sides of the nose bridge smoothly, so as to be worn ergonomically and comfortably without water leakage, to reduce water resistance, and to enlarge visual range in swimming.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Conventional racing swimming goggles are designed to fit for a face portion with respect to inner peripheries of each eye socket of the cranium at a wearer's face to reduce water resistance. For the evolution of the swimming goggles, from a traditional type having lens and left and right frames which are implanted, then changed to a type having lens and left and right frames which are integrally formed as a whole, and also, from the type having no protective pads, changed to the type having J-shaped protective pads, that really makes a breakthrough on left and right frames to bring comfortable f...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide swimming goggles for racing, capable of fitting to both sides of the bridge of the nose smoothly, so as to be worn ergonomically and comfortably without water leakage, to reduce water resistance, and to enlarge visual range in swimming.

Problems solved by technology

However, with the structure of the traditional type being improved, the connecting element made to connect the left and right frames is still found to have some flaws to be solved, i.e., the connecting element respectively forms a combination element on its both sides with respect to a clamping hole of a combination base of the left and right frames; when assembled, the combination element is inserted into the clamping hole from outer side of the combination base (i.e., the outer side of the left and right frames) to the inner side of the combination base.

In this manner, the connecting element would not seem flat or smooth at the inner side (in touch with wear's nose; called nasal side hereafter) because the combination element penetrates through clamping hole and forms a tiny bulge on the surface of the nasal side, which easily makes the combination element and the clamping hole cooperatively leave some red indentations right on the both sides of the nose bridge, resulting in uncomfortable feelings.

As a result, a little gap would exist between the buckles and wearer's head, which could cause the water leakage and water resistance in swimming.

Furthermore, the impact force from the water surface at the moment that a diver falls in the water is so huge that the little gap between the buckles and wearer's head could cause the water leakage and water resistance if the goggles could not be perfectly fit to wearer's face.

Similarly, some drastic movement of wearer's hands that work on swimming could easily cause the water leakage and water resistance as well due to the little gap.

Consequently, the conventional connecting element which is not smooth and fails to fit to both sides of the nose bridge perfectly, and the conventional head strap buckles which are separated from wearer's head by a little gap would cause the water leakage and water resistance to the disadvantage of any swimming competitions.
