Abstract: New constructions for the side retainers of eyewear, particularly swimming goggles, are disclosed. In place of the conventional strap connection to the lateral extremities of the eyepiece frames, this proposal provides a preformed branched component (3), preferably of moulded plastics, having upper and lower limbs (31) connecting to the eyepiece cups (1) at upper and lower positions. This construction helps to distribute pressure around the engagement of the eyepiece with the face. It also reduces the length of strap that needs to be tightened. A further feature described is a lateral wing formation (133) on the eyepiece cup (1) that extends out of the wearer's eye socket and round onto the side of the head.

Abstract: Structural formations and formulations of a silicon foam, for example, used in high performance shoes, as, for example, mid-sole materials of excellent energy efficiency (measured as a ratio of energy returned/energy absorbed) of 8050D IMEVA of excellent (151 mJ/cm3) shock absorption qualities foreseeably embodied in orthoses, shoes, midsoles, inserts and other molded forms.
