  • Patent number: 11931298
    Abstract: A variable compression cushion for eyewear includes a lattice structure made up of lattice cells defined by lattice elements. The parameters of the lattice structure may be configured to create a desired compressibility in the cushion. Different zones of the cushion may have different compressibility. The variable compressibility enables the cushion to be configured to optimize the face pressure experienced by a user when the eyewear is worn to enhance the comfort of the user. Some embodiments of the cushion also include structures to improve ventilation through the cushion. Some embodiments of the cushion also include structures that channel moisture away from the portion of the cushion that contacts the face of the user to improve user comfort.

  • Patent number: 11679033
    Abstract: A frameless goggle with a lens that is structurally self-supporting without any external support from a frame, chassis, or other, similar components. The resulting goggle is more streamlined and has fewer parts to manufacture and assemble. In some embodiments, the goggle lens includes an integral support portion that improves the stiffness and strength of the lens.

  • Patent number: 11526025
    Abstract: Eyewear lenses for frameless eyewear may include a stiffening member configured to increase the stiffness of the eyewear lens. The stiffening member may be an integral part of the lens and extend along the upper portion of the lens. At least a portion of the stiffening member may extend forward of a corresponding point on the front surface of the lens. The stiffening member may have different dimensions and cross sections, based on, for example, the stiffening enhancement needed and aesthetic considerations. The stiffening member may be designed to improve the moment of inertia of the eyewear lens to a desired value when compared to an otherwise identical lens without a stiffening member. The increased stiffness caused by the stiffening member may also be designed to achieve a target head force on the head of a user when the eyewear lens is integrated into eyewear.

  • Publication number: 20220057648
    Abstract: An adjustable goggle strap includes a strap body and an adjustment cord disposed on the strap body. The adjustment cord may be releasably engaged by a cord lock in order to modify a total length of the strap body. The cord lock may be located on the strap body or various elements of an attached eyewear, such as an eyewear frame, lens, or eyewear strap attachments. Some aspects of the adjustable goggle strap include a retainer to secure an excess portion of the adjustment cord.

  • Patent number: 10809545
    Abstract: 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 and/or frame can be moved with respect to the user to provide the multiple ventilation states. In some embodiments, the eyewear can include a nosepiece which is movable from at least a first configuration to a second configuration to provide the multiple ventilation states.

  • Patent number: 9253917
    Abstract: An improved mounting bracket that provides an indication to an installer when a mount is not correctly aligned. The mounting bracket comprises a mounting contact portion and at least one side portion integrally connected to the mounting contact portion, with the at least one side portion defining a receiving region for accepting one or more retaining portions of a mount. The at least one side portion includes a first ramped surface at least partially outside of the receiving region. The first ramped surface configured to contact a retaining portion when the retaining portion is misaligned with the receiving region, thereby informing an installer of the misalignment.

  • Patent number: 8684326
    Abstract: An improved adjustable mounting system for mounting a flat panel display to a surface. A mounting bracket is configured to attach to the surface, while an adapter bracket is operatively connected to the mounting bracket and is configured to operatively connect to the flat panel display. At least one carrier mechanism operatively connects the mounting bracket and the adapter bracket, the first carrier mechanism positioned with a set of substantially straight guide paths or surfaces to couple the adapter bracket to the mounting bracket. When the flat panel display is operatively connected to the adapter bracket and the mounting bracket is attached to the surface, the flat panel display is generally selectively rotatably positionable about an axis substantially parallel to the surface as a result of the interaction of the first carrier mechanism with the set of substantially straight guide paths or surfaces.

  • Patent number: 8348212
    Abstract: An improved system for securing a display device mounting bracket to a surface mounting bracket in a mounting system. A fastener connects to a movable extension component that is movably engaged with the device mounting bracket. When a device mounting bracket has been correctly positioned relative to the surface mounting bracket, the movable extension component is moved until a portion of the surface mounting bracket is positioned between the device mounting bracket and the movable extension component, thereby preventing the device mounting bracket from moving away from the surface mounting bracket.
