Publication number: 20240004222Abstract: A goggle may include a goggle frame and a lens assembly that may be removably coupled by magnetic materials and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by mechanically engaging latch components. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by magnetically coupling latch components. Latch components may be included with the lens assembly and the goggle frame. The goggle frame may include an elastomer face gasket. The goggle frame may include outriggers fixedly coupled to the face gasket. The lens assembly may include an elastomer lens frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Smith Sport Optics, Inc.Inventors: Will McNeal, Hans Lindauer, Mike Aaskov, John Ohran, Eric Thorsell, Matt Capozzi, Nicolas Ramirez, Scott Layton

Patent number: 10948746Abstract: A goggle may include a goggle frame, a lens assembly magnetically coupled to the goggle frame, and first and second retention features securing the lens assembly to the goggle frame at first and second locations, respectively, to resist decoupling of the lens assembly from the goggle frame. The lens assembly may be removable from the goggle frame by actuating only one of the first retention feature or the second retention feature. A method of removing a lens assembly from a goggle frame may include actuating a first latch securing the lens assembly to the goggle frame; after actuating the first latch, pivoting the lens assembly away from the goggle frame about a second latch securing the lens assembly to the goggle frame; and after pivoting the lens assembly, laterally translating the lens assembly away from the second latch without actuating the second latch.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Smith Sport Optics, Inc.Inventors: Keith Langenwalter, Eric Thorsell, John Ohran, Will McNeal, Nicolas Ramirez, Matt Capozzi, Scott Layton

Patent number: 10935812Abstract: Interchangeably lenses and attachment assemblies for eyewear with removable temples are described. An example attachment assembly for removably magnetically attaching an eyewear temple to a lens may include a magnetic latch having a first latch portion and a second latch portions movably (e.g., pivotably) coupled to the temple. The first and second latch portions may be configured to be positioned on opposite sides of the lens by a carrier. The first and second latch portions may be configured to magnetically attract one another in a magnetic attraction direction. The carrier may be configured to restrict movement of at least one of the first and second latch portions in a second direction opposite the magnetic attraction direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Smith Optics, Inc.Inventors: Eric Thorsell, Matt Capozzi, Nicolas Ramirez, Michael Qualls, Scott Layton, Sean Nemoto, James Andrew Chilson

Patent number: 10197814Abstract: An eyewear may include a lens and first and second temples individually removably attachable to opposite ends of the lens. The eyewear may include an attachment mechanism coupled to each of the temples, which includes a tab portion, a lever portion, a magnet attached to one of the tab or lever portions, and a magnetic material, which may be another magnet or a ferromagnetic material, attached to the other one of the tab or lever portions. The magnet and magnetic material are arranged on opposing sides of the tab and lever portions to urge them in a first direction towards one another. A carrier may be attached to each of the first and second end portions and may be configured to position the tab and lever portions on opposite sides of the lens as well as to constrain movement of the tab portion along a direction opposite the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Smith Optics, Inc.Inventors: Eric Thorsell, Matt Capozzi, Nicolas Ramirez, Michael Qualls, Scott Layton, Sean Nemoto, James Andrew Chilson
