  • Patent number: 6883184
    Abstract: The invention is for swimming goggles 400 with a nose-bridge 420 which can be simply adjusted to lengthen or shorten the space between lenses of the goggles and which is safe for the user even when the swimming goggles are stripped inadvertently. The novel nose-bridge 420 comprises a flexible connecting band 422 having first through-holes 422a towards lateral ends and second through-holes 422b spaced towards the midline from the first through-holes 422a, and supporting members 421 on each of the lenses to connect the two lenses with the flexible connecting band 422. The supporting members 421 on each lens are adapted to have a knob 421a extending towards the midline and each have a supporting hook member 421b having a blunt end 421b? and a hook end 421b?. This arrangement in combination with the flexible nature, allows for easy adjustment of the nose bridge 420 and avoids injury to the user.

  • Patent number: 6859947
    Abstract: The invention is a buckle assembly for adjusting length of the band for swimming goggles comprising a buckle body formed with a band support portion onto which a flexible band having a plurality of stop members longitudinally disposed therealong are wound, and a slider connected to the buckle body for slidably moving between a first position and a second position for the band support portion. The slider comprises a band pressing piece which presses and holds the flexible band at a first position thereby one of the flexible band stop members is stopped by the band pressing piece and the slider is moved to a second position when the flexible band is extended by being pulled, and another of the flexible band stop members is stopped by the band pressing piece and the slider moves to a first position when the flexible band is contracted by being released from pulling.
