Patent number: 10357400Abstract: Eyewear, such as a goggle, is provided that can include an anterior module and an interchangeable posterior module. The anterior module can be adapted to support at least one lens in a wearer's field of view. The posterior module can be adapted to fit against a contour of the wearer's face and can be selectively interchangeable with the anterior module to modify at least one physical characteristic of the eyewear. In some embodiments, the anterior and posterior modules can be coupled by a suspension assembly in order to allow articulation of the posterior module relative to the anterior module for evenly distributing forces against the wearer's face. Further, the anterior module can be rigid for maintaining the lens in an optically-desirable orientation. Furthermore, the goggle can comprise an interchangeable lens mechanism to facilitate interchanging of lenses in the goggle. The goggle can comprise a roll-off system or tear-off system.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2013Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: OAKLEY, INC.Inventors: David Ginther, James Nelson Castro, Hans Karsten Moritz

Patent number: 10335317Abstract: Eyewear is disclosed that can have multiple ventilation states providing different amounts of ventilation through the eyewear. The eyewear can include a lens and a frame. In some embodiments, the lens can be movable with respect to the frame to provide the multiple ventilation states. In some embodiments, the eyewear can include a gasket that removably attaches to the frame. In some embodiments, the gasket can be movable with respect to the frame to provide the multiple ventilation states.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Joel Cater, Chris Dawson, Anton Ivanov, Myong Kim, Aaron Taylor, Josh Gallegos, David Ginther, Jason Hutchison

Patent number: 8911076Abstract: Various embodiments of an eyeglass and eyeglass system are provided that can maintain the geometric and optical quality of a lens supported by the eyeglass. The eyeglass can comprise a frame, a support member carried by the frame, and a lens mounting area or groove extending at least partially along at least one of the frame and the support member. The support member can be pivoted, moved, or deflected relative to the frame between a retaining position and an open position. In the open position, the lens can be seated within the lens mounting area. In the retaining position, the support member and the frame retain the lens without exerting deformative forces on the lens. Accordingly, the as-molded geometric and optical qualities of the lens can be preserved.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Calilung, David Ginther, Hans Karsten Moritz, Carlos D.
