Publication number: 20040103469Abstract: An improved sport goggle for skiing, motorcycling, paintball, racing, and other sports featuring apertures communicating with a pressurized air flow provided by focusing channels in a ledge projecting from the goggle body thereby increasing air flow into the eye cavity of the goggle through the apertures. Venting of the eye cavity of the sport goggle is aided by forming of the goggle body shape to create low pressure zones adjacent to side and top venting apertures that communicate with the eye cavity. During use by a user, wind and forward motion creates air flow onto the focusing channel which focuses the divergent entering air upon a point adjacent to lower intake apertures thereby increasing the air pressure entering the goggle. Air circulation through the eye cavity is additionally aided by the curved shape of the goggle body creating low pressure zones adjacent to venting apertures to pull air from the eye cavity thereby increasing air flow and eliminating fogging.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2003Publication date: June 3, 2004Applicant: K2, Inc.Inventor: Patrick P. Hussey

Patent number: 6129800Abstract: An embossed metal foil laminate is prepared by laminating a metal foil to a paper web, utilizing an extrusion coated resin interlayer therebetween, by passing the layered structure between a nip roll and an engraved chill roll. The metal foil quickly conducts heat energy from the molten resin layer to the chill roll, allowing the process to be run at a high speed. The engraved chill roll impresses a pattern into the metal foil during the lamination operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 1994Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignee: K2, Inc.Inventor: Charles E. Brinley
