Publication number: 20140043682Abstract: Eyewear having a pivoted engagement of lenses with a lens frame worn on the head of the user. A lens assembly holding the lens or lenses is rotatable out of the user's view when not required for viewing such as when conversing with a friend or when wearing tinted lenses and needing unfiltered viewing. Biasing of the rotatable assembly provides for automatic rotation upward out of the field of view of the user upon release of a retaining component. The rotational engagement of lenses relative to a head worn frame may be employed in combination with prescription lenses, sunglass lenses, or 3D filtering lenses for viewing 3D media in the same rotational engagement and in one mode of the device are removable.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2011Publication date: February 13, 2014Inventors: Patrick Hussey, Donn K.

Publication number: 20050193478Abstract: A goggle (12) having removable/replaceable outriggers (16) conveniently detachably engaged with the sidewalls (14) of the goggles. The outriggers (16) have an aperture (26) in communication with a venting aperture (30) communicating through the sidewall (14) to the eye cavity (28). Pins (18) project from flexible/compressible top and bottom walls of the outrigger (16) to engage within receiving cavities (24) formed in the goggle sidewalls (14).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2005Publication date: September 8, 2005Inventor: Patrick Hussey

Publication number: 20050183190Abstract: A goggle (12), shaped to conform to a human face includes a body defining a top wall (19) and sidewalls (21) dimensioned to form a continuous contour which closely matches the shape and size of a facial aperture (41) formed in a helmet (38), thereby to form a smooth, contoured combined goggle and helmet exterior surface. At least one air intake aperture (24, 25, 26) communicates through the goggle lens (16) or goggle body to an eye cavity (18). At least one venting aperture (30) communicates through the sidewalls (12) of the goggle body with the eye cavity (18).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2005Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventor: Patrick Hussey

Publication number: 20050160521Abstract: An improved sport goggle for skiing, motorcycling, paintball, racing, and other sports featuring clip-mounted side apertures communicating with the eye cavity of the goggle through adjacent venting apertures. Venting of the eye cavity of the sport goggle is aided by forming of the clip shape to create low pressure zones adjacent to the side venting apertures. The clips are rotationally attached to the goggle to provide an adjustable mount for the strap around heads or helmets while still forming the negative air pressure zone in all rotated positions. The clips may also be provided in a kit of differently dimensioned clips to adjust the negative air pressure venting characteristics of the clips and goggle to the intended sport or task.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventor: Patrick Hussey
