Abstract: A display packaging assembly for swim masks and goggles which have corrective lenses. In a first preferred embodiment for a mask and a second preferred embodiment for a pair of goggles, the product is contained in a transparent plastic shell and is located on a mannequin face or face portion in a configuration which simulates how the product would be worn by a swimmer. The opposing surfaces of the shell and the simulated eye portions of the mannequin are open at the lenses of the product. These openings permit a prospective purchaser to look through the corrective lenses without opening the package and without removing the product. Because the mannequin face or face portion is curved to provide a generally concave surface, the prospective purchaser may place the lenses of the mask or goggles in close proximity to his or her eyes without necessarily touching the package to the face and without touching any portion of the product itself.

Abstract: A method for packaging a full set of snorkel components and a resulting package. Swim fins are arranged in an overlapping configuration. A mask including its strap, surrounds the two overlapping fins with the mask positioned about halfway between the ends of the fins and facing in the same direction as the foot aperture of the front-facing fin. A snorkel tube is positioned on the edge of the overlapping fins in a direction generally parallel to the length of the fins. The snorkel tube may be attached to the mask strap and the mouthpiece of the snorkel tube is placed between the mask and the foot aperture. This assembled set of snorkel components is placed in a clear plastic, zippered bag having a narrow end and a wider end. An optional cover carton may be added to cap the respective ends of the zippered bag, provide added structural support and provide surfaces for some limited graphics.
