[0002] Nowadays, water activities equipment is diversified, there are swimming goggles for users to swim, masks for snorkeling and oxygen supply equipment for deep diving, many of which need to be equipped with breathing tubes, and a mouthpiece is provided at the lower end of the breathing tube for the user's mouth to bite, for mouth breathing.
[0003] Among the measures to shield the user's face, the current swimming goggles that only cover the user's eyes, or the snorkeling mask (shooting fish or free diving mask) that only covers the user's eyes and nose, are all independent in manufacturing, assembly and sales market. In other words, swimming goggles must be developed towards the design parameters of swimming goggles, and snorkeling masks are also the same, there is no intersection between the two, which undoubtedly increases the cost of the sales end. Therefore, if consumers want to swim and sometimes want to snorkel, they must at least purchase two independent complete products, one set of swimming goggles and another set of masks, which significantly increases the burden.
[0004] Therefore, a suitable improvement solution is provided to overcome the above-mentioned cost and expense problems, and if it can also improve the enjoyment of purchase or use, it will be very popular. SUMMARY
[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a water activities equipment group. Taking swimming and snorkeling activities as an example, the general swimming goggles and the snorkeling mask in the two-piece snorkeling equipment do not need to set up airflow channels inside, as long as water tightness is achieved. Water tightness is usually achieved by the rear part of the soft waterproof sealing skirt that fits the face. Therefore, the front part of the waterproof sealing skirt and the observation window have good adhesion, which can achieve good water tightness. The frame is usually made of hard material. In addition to strengthening the structure of the entire swimming goggles and snorkeling mask, it is also located at the front end, so it plays a unique role in the appearance of the product, which is also a major focus for consumers to choose and purchase. However, in fact, the frame does not need to play the function of water tightness.
[0006] Therefore, the utility model provides a pair of viewing windows and a waterproof sealing skirt (only covering eyes) which are suitable for swimming goggles, and the embedded combination between the two is kept watertight, then provides a viewing window (which can be the same pair or another pair of viewing windows with the same shape) and another waterproof sealing skirt (only covering eyes and nose) which are suitable for snorkeling masks, and the embedded combination between the two is kept watertight, finally provides a common frame which can be assembled on the waterproof sealing skirt of the swimming goggles or the waterproof sealing skirt of the snorkeling mask according to the needs of users, so that two sets of equipment do not need to be prepared for replacement, the frame can be designed into various styles for users to replace, the degree of change of the style is improved, and the purchasing desire of consumers is increased. Meanwhile, because of the design, the shape of the viewing window can be consistent in the swimming goggles and the mask, so that the mold cost of the frame and the viewing window is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced because the headband and the buckle can be shared.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model discloses a kind of water activities equipment group. The water activities equipment group includes a common frame, at least one pair of viewing windows, a first waterproof sealing skirt, a second waterproof sealing skirt and a headband. The first waterproof sealing skirt has two first hollow front parts, for the at least one pair of viewing windows is embedded in respectively, and two first rear parts, suitable only around a user's eyes.

[0052] Figure 1 A water sports equipment set 1 of the present application is shown, which is a water sports equipment set that is interchangeable between a pair of goggles and a mask. The water sports equipment set 1 includes a common frame 11, a pair of viewing windows 13, a first waterproof sealing skirt 15, a second waterproof sealing skirt 17, and a headband 19 (omitted, please refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3B ).
[0053] In this embodiment, the pair of viewing windows 13 are detachable. As shown, the first waterproof sealing skirt 15 has two first hollow front portions 151r, 151f and two first rear portions 153r, 153f. The first hollow front portions 151r, 151f are adapted to receive the pair of viewing windows 13 therein, respectively. The first rear portions 153r, 153f are adapted to fit around a user's eyes, particularly only around a user's eyes. Figure 2A In addition, as shown, the second waterproof sealing skirt 17 has two second hollow front portions 171r, 171f and a second rear portion 173. Similarly, the second hollow front portions 171r, 171f are adapted to receive the pair of viewing windows 13 therein, respectively. The second rear portion 173 is adapted to fit around, particularly around and about, a user's eyes and nose.
[0054] Figure 2B Furthermore, as shown, the headband 19 is adapted to be connected between the left and right sides of the common frame 11, for example, to the connection structures E1 formed on the left and right sides of the common frame 11.
[0055] In addition, as shown, the second waterproof sealing skirt 17 has two second hollow front portions 171r, 171f and a second rear portion 173. Similarly, the second hollow front portions 171r, 171f are adapted to receive the pair of viewing windows 13 therein, respectively. The second rear portion 173 is adapted to fit around, particularly around and about, a user's eyes and nose. Figure 3A Figure 3B Furthermore, as shown, the headband 19 is adapted to be connected between the left and right sides of the common frame 11, for example, to the connection structures E1 formed on the left and right sides of the common frame 11.
[0056] In this embodiment, the common frame 11 is also detachable. Thus, by this detachable manner, the common frame 11 can be selectively mounted on the two first outer rims RP1, FP1 of the first hollow front portions 151f, 151r to form a swimming goggles 100, so that the user can use the swimming goggles 100 to swim (as shown in Figure 3A
[0057] Alternatively, the common frame 11 can be selectively mounted on the two second outer rims RP2, FP2 of the second hollow front portions 171f, 171r to form a mask 101. In this way, the user can also use the mask 101 or further in combination with a breathing tube (not shown in the figure) to carry out activities such as snorkeling (as shown in Figure 3B
[0058] Preferably, the common frame 11 has a left frame 11f, a right frame 11r and a bridge 11b connecting the left frame 11f and the right frame 11r. The left frame 11f and the right frame 11r each have at least one clamping slot 11s for accommodating the respective first outer rims RP1, FP1 or the respective second outer rims RP2, FP2, as shown in Figure 4A Figure 4B
[0059] Referring to Figure 2A , Figure 3A and Figure 4A , further description is made about the combination of the swimming goggles 100. The first waterproof sealing skirt 15 is basically two-piece type having a left skirt portion 15f and a right skirt portion 15r separated from each other, which define the first hollow front portions 151f, 151r respectively. In this way, the first outer rims FP1, RP1 of the first hollow front portions 151f, 151r have the same contour (e.g. the heart-shaped contour shown in the figure) as the outer rims of the left frame 11f and the right frame 11r of the common frame 11 respectively.
[0060] Referring to Figure 2B and Figure 3B and Figure 4B , further description is made about the combination of the mask 101 (e.g. a snorkeling mask, a spearfishing mask or a free diving mask). The second waterproof sealing skirt 17 is single-piece type having a left skirt portion 17f and a right skirt portion 17r defining the second hollow front portions 171f, 171r respectively. The second waterproof sealing skirt 17 further has a nose cover portion 17n integrally formed between the left skirt portion 17f and the right skirt portion 17r. In this way, the second outer rims FP2, RP2 of the second hollow front portions 171f, 171r have the same contour (e.g. the heart-shaped contour shown in the figure) as the outer rims of the left frame 11f and the right frame 11r respectively.
[0061] On the other hand, for the convenience of use, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the water activity equipment set 5 preferably includes two pairs of viewing windows, namely a first pair of viewing windows 131 and a second pair of viewing windows 132. The first pair of viewing windows 131 is embedded in the first hollow front portion 151f, 151r of the first waterproof sealing skirt 15, and the second pair of viewing windows 132 is embedded in the second hollow front portion 171f, 171r of the second waterproof sealing skirt 17. Furthermore, the first pair of viewing windows 131 and the first waterproof sealing skirt 15 can be inseparable from each other by bonding, manual gluing, laser gluing, etc., and the second pair of viewing windows 132 and the second waterproof sealing skirt 17 can be inseparable from each other, so that perfect water tightness can be achieved. In this configuration, the user can directly disassemble and assemble the common frame 11 without assembling the viewing windows, that is, the equipment replacement for swimming or snorkeling activities can be completed more quickly.
[0062] In other words, in the water activity equipment set of the present application, the viewing window can only provide one pair (such as Figure 1 a pair of viewing windows 13) for common use between the first waterproof sealing skirt 15 and the second waterproof sealing skirt 17 to save manufacturing costs; or two pairs of viewing windows (such as Figure 5 a first pair of viewing windows 131 and a second pair of viewing windows 132) can be provided, respectively fixed on the first waterproof sealing skirt 15 and the second waterproof sealing skirt 17, to facilitate equipment replacement.
[0063] The focus of the present application is to provide a common frame that can be assembled on the waterproof sealing skirt for swimming goggles or the waterproof sealing skirt for snorkeling masks according to the needs of the user. Not only is it not necessary to prepare two sets of equipment for replacement, but the frame can also be designed in multiple styles for the user to replace, increasing the variability of the model and color, such as Figure 6A and Figure 6B the common frames 61a, 61b shown are close to the popular or retro style of general glasses. Further, if dark viewing windows are used, combined with transparent waterproof sealing skirts, it is not different from forming a popular glass-like appearance when worn, which is very eye-catching and increases the purchasing desire of consumers.
[0064] At the same time, because of this design, the shape of the viewing window can be consistent in swimming goggles and in snorkeling masks, significantly reducing the mold cost of the viewing window. In terms of sales, in addition to being able to sell Figure 1 or Figure 5 the water activity equipment set independently or in combination, different colored or appearance common frames can also be sold together, of course, snorkeling breathing tubes can also be added to the package to increase the variety of product sales. In actual products, the viewing window can also be changed to a corrective lens according to the needs, which is not achieved by the traditional mask configuration of large viewing windows.
[0065] The technical spirit of the utility model is as above, as for other parts, for example, how to design the headband, how to select the material, applied to which equipment, or in the aspects of the shared frame, the pair of viewing windows, the two waterproof sealing skirts and other components, made into left-right separated type (namely double mirror type) or left-right integrated type (namely single mirror type), all are contained in the explanation of "a pair" or "two" and should be contained in the following defined claims. Specifically, the pair of viewing windows can be the two-piece viewing window of left-right separated mirror faceplate as shown in the figure (constituting double mirror type), or the one-piece viewing window integrally formed and having left-right bridging mirror (constituting single mirror type, not shown in the figure). In the embodiment of the single mirror type viewing window, the two first hollow front parts also communicate with each other, and the two second hollow front parts preferably also communicate with each other, so as to cooperate with the two viewing windows integrally connected, and achieve better water tightness. Of course, the headband can also be connected to the left and right two sides of the waterproof sealing skirt, and does not necessarily have to be arranged on the left and right two sides of the shared frame, and the equivalent design scheme can also be considered.
[0066] Any based on the foregoing utility model core technology is the one that the utility model desires to protect. Therefore, the above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the implementation mode of the utility model and explain the technical features of the utility model, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. The changes or equivalent arrangements that can be easily completed by the person skilled in the art all belong to the range claimed by the utility model.
