  • Patent number: 6928663
    Abstract: A goggle clip (10) that may be used to rotatably or pivotally secure a strap (12) to a goggle (14) with a concealed hinge. The clip (10) broadly comprises a main body (24) located outside a shroud (20) of the goggle (14) and secured to the strap (12), an axle (26) located inside the shroud (20), and a forwardly extending skirt (30) that substantially conforms to the shroud (20). The skirt (30) preferably maintains close proximity to the shroud (20) during rotation of the clip (10). Thus, the skirt (30) forms an aerodynamic seal with the shroud (20), thereby diverting airflow away from the hinge and preventing wind, dust, dirt, and other contaminants from interfering with the hinge's operation. Furthermore, the skirt (30) and the location of the axle (26) conceal the hinge, thereby providing a more aesthetically appealing goggle (14).
