  • Patent number: 7181779
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7137153
    Abstract: An improved sport goggle for skiing, motorcycling, paintball, racing, and other sports featuring apertures communicating with a pressurized air flow provided by focusing channels in a ledge projecting from the goggle body thereby increasing air flow into the eye cavity of the goggle through the apertures. Venting of the eye cavity of the sport goggle is aided by forming of the goggle body shape to create low pressure zones adjacent to side and top venting apertures that communicate with the eye cavity. During use by a user, wind and forward motion creates air flow onto the focusing channel which focuses the divergent entering air upon a point adjacent to lower intake apertures thereby increasing the air pressure entering the goggle. Air circulation through the eye cavity is additionally aided by the curved shape of the goggle body creating low pressure zones adjacent to venting apertures to pull air from the eye cavity thereby increasing air flow and eliminating fogging.

Additional utility is provided by aperture gates that are cooperatively engageable with the venting apertures to regulate air flow and/or absorb moisture.
