  • Publication number: 20080196149
    Abstract: Goggles include a lens frame and connection arms for a wearing belt. The connection arms are provided respectively at right and left parts on a side of a front surface of the lens frame. Each of the connection arms is selectively kept in a state that the arm overlaps and rests on the front surface of the lens frame, or in a state that the arm stays at a position with a space from the front surface of the lens frame after having moved rotationally on its inner end from the front surface of the lens frame outwardly. The goggles provide a preferable fitted comfortability to a wearer's face regardless of whether he uses a helmet or not and regardless of the thickness of the inner liner of the helmet.

  • Publication number: 20080134417
    Abstract: Goggles capable preventing fitting bodies (4) from being disconnected from bodies (2) against the intention of a user since hooks (3) are not easily separated from the bodies (2). The goggles comprise the bodies (2) and the fitting bodies (4) having the hooks (3) and connecting the hooks (3) to the outer end parts of the bodies (2). Vertical walls (7) rising roughly perpendicular to lens faces and pedestals (8) positioned roughly perpendicular to the vertical walls (7) and outwardly extending from the base parts of the vertical walls (7) are formed at the outer end parts of the bodies (2). Hook bodies (9) having hooking grooves (9a) facing toward the vertical walls (7) are projectedly formed on the pedestals (8). The hooks (3) form hooking holes (12) for the hook bodies (9), and hook parts (12a) to the hook grooves (9a) of the hook bodies (9) are formed at the inside parts of the hook holes (12).

  • Publication number: 20070285615
    Abstract: In a lens for safety glasses of the present invention, a first lens element which shields a laser beam is laid on a second lens element for antiglare. The first and the second lens element may be affixed together. In the lens for safety glasses, the first lens element includes a substrate which contains an absorbent for selectively absorbing a laser beam having a specific wavelength in an ultraviolet wavelength region, a visible light wavelength region or an infrared wavelength legion and is transparent in the visible light wavelength region. The safety glasses with the lens may provide comfortable fit and a good appearance, causes less misjudgment of colors and prevents loss of correct color sense, and has both a laser-beam shielding function and an antiglare function.

  • Patent number: 6865753
    Abstract: Goggles have a goggle body and a headband which are attached together on both of respective end portions thereof through respective connecting members. Each end portion of the goggle body has fitting apertures open upwardly and downwardly, and an insertion path connecting to the fitting apertures and open to a lateral end side. Furthermore each connecting member has resilient insertion pieces with protruded portions, and the protruded portions fit in the fitting apertures and come out upwardly and downwardly. At the time of detaching the connecting member from the goggle body, a wearer can easily and reliably manipulate the connecting means with his or her thumb and index finger, not only his or her thumb. And a reliable connection between the goggle body and the connecting member is obtained, and, even an outer force coming from front does not cause an inadvertent separation of them in use.
