Patent number: 10973689Abstract: A snow goggle device includes a spectacle frame, two pivoting members movably connected to the spectacle frame, and a curved lens pivotally connected to the two pivoting members. Each pivoting member is cooperated with the spectacle frame to form with a first segment movable along a straight path and a second segment movable along an arced path, and includes a third segment synchronously movable with the first segment and the second segment. When the first and the second segments of each pivoting member are synchronously moved, the third segments drive the curved lens to move with respect to the spectacle frame between a closed position and an open position, synchronously causing a deformation of the curved lens. When the curved lens is at the closed position or the open position, the curved lens receives a stress that is smaller than a stress generated from the deformation.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: ASWAN INTERNATIONAL CORP.Inventor: Wei-Ting Liu
