Abstract: Sports goggles are formed with anterior and posterior frame sections each having a bow spaced from each other to define a slot to provide increased ventilation of space behind lens and particularly against the rearward surface of the lens for the elimination or reduction of fogging. The anterior frame section carries the lens at a position spaced farther than normal from the wearer's face and posterior frame section carries a nosebridge and temples. These goggles may be economically manufactured by molding lightweight material into a separate posterior frame section and a separate anterior frame section, then joining the two frame sections through tab and slot assembly.

Abstract: Eyeglasses of the type which permit interchanging of lenses are disclosed which employ a support frame having a plurality of support prongs thereon adapted to receive a pair of lenses in supporting relation on the frame, and including a retaining clip pivotally mounted on the frame and movable between a first position which permits easy mounting of lenses on and removal from the support frame, and a second position wherein the retaining clip retains the lenses in mounted relation on the support frame so as to prevent their removal.
Abstract: A sport goggle is disclosed which includes a rectangular flexible frame normally disposed in planar relation and bendable to conform to a wearer's head on which the goggle may be secured by flexible straps secured to opposite ends of the frame. The frame supports a removable rectangular lens and has a face engaging cushion spaced from the lens by support pads which define air vents therebetween over which flexible air filters are mounted. The straps are adapted to be folded about and secured to the frame so as to protect the lens during non-use.
