Patent number: 8746877Abstract: Eyewear is provided that can comprise a frame, a lens, and at least one retention component that can secure the lens relative to the frame. The frame can be configured to support at least one lens in a field of view of a wearer. The retention component can be supported by the frame and/or the lens and can be movable or fixed relative to the frame and/or the lens. In some embodiments, the retention component can slidably engage an engagement portion of the frame and/or the lens for preventing the lens from separating from the frame in response to a ballistic event. In some embodiments, the eyewear can comprise a faceplate and a pair of straps that attach to the frame of the eyewear in a manner that evenly distributes compressive stresses across the surface of the faceplate.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Jason Belbey, Steve Oldham, Hans Karsten Moritz, Jason Hutchison, Chad McCormick

Patent number: 7971268Abstract: A goggle is provided that can include a goggle frame and a bend control component. The goggle frame can define opposing lateral portions and a central portion. The goggle frame can include a bridge disposed at the central portion of the goggle frame. The goggle frame can be generally flexible upon exertion of a bending force on the goggle frame. The bend control component can extend along the bridge of the goggle frame. The bend control component can be configured to enhance flexural strength of the goggle at a bridge thereof for reducing bending of the goggle frame at the bridge. In some embodiments, the bend control component is formed separately from the goggle frame. In other embodiments, the bend control component can be secured to the frame using fasteners and/or one or more protrusions and corresponding recesses.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Carlos Reyes, James Nelson Castro, Hans Moritz, Steve Oldham

The goggle frame can be generally flexible upon exertion of a bending force on the goggle frame. The bend control component can extend along the bridge of the goggle frame. The bend control component can be configured to enhance flexural strength of the goggle at a bridge thereof for reducing preferential bending of the goggle frame at the bridge. In some embodiments, the bend control component is formed separately from the goggle frame. In other embodiments, the bend control component can be secured to the frame using fasteners and/or one or more protrusions and corresponding recesses.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2009Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: Oakley, Inc.Inventors: Carlos Reyes, James Nelson Castro, Hans Moritz, Steve Oldham
