Publication number: 20240004222Abstract: A goggle may include a goggle frame and a lens assembly that may be removably coupled by magnetic materials and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by mechanically engaging latch components. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by magnetically coupling latch components. Latch components may be included with the lens assembly and the goggle frame. The goggle frame may include an elastomer face gasket. The goggle frame may include outriggers fixedly coupled to the face gasket. The lens assembly may include an elastomer lens frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Smith Sport Optics, Inc.Inventors: Will McNeal, Hans Lindauer, Mike Aaskov, John Ohran, Eric Thorsell, Matt Capozzi, Nicolas Ramirez, Scott Layton

Patent number: 8683617Abstract: Helmets and methods for manufacturing a helmet are described. An example helmet includes an upper helmet component having a shell and a shock absorbing liner and further having a lower helmet component having a shell and a shock absorbing liner. The shock absorbing liner of the lower helmet component has an angled interface portion to which the upper helmet component is attached. A vent sill is attached to the shock absorbing liner of the upper helmet component and a vent shutter is slidably attached to the vent sill. An example method include forming a first in-mold component having a shell and shock absorbing liner and forming a second in-mold component having a shell and shock absorbing liner, the shock absorbing liner having a seamless headform. After a vent shutter assembly is attached to the first in-mold component the second in-mold component is attached to the first in-mold component.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Smith Optics, Inc.Inventors: James A. Chilson, Hans Lindauer

Patent number: 8555423Abstract: Goggles, protective wear, and methods attaching and detaching a goggle are disclosed. In a described example, protective wear includes a goggle and a helmet. The goggle include first and second strap attachments coupled to a strap. The first strap attachment is pivotally connected to a goggle assembly and the second strap attachment has a post. The helmet includes an anchor positioned in an opening in the helmet and is oriented to position an anchor channel to be in line with a recess formed on an exterior of the helmet. The anchor is configured to receive the post and pivotally secure the post therein to attach the goggle to the helmet. The anchor is further configured to release the post responsive to the second strap attachment pulled in a direction substantially parallel with the anchor channel of the anchor.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Smith Optics, Inc.Inventors: George T. Giroux, Hans Lindauer, James A. Chilson
