  • Patent number: 5488441
    Abstract: An eye-glass frame arrangement fabricated of a combination of a semi-rigid lens retaining support and a semi-flexible nose bridge and semi-flexible temple bows having a retaining strap removably engagable around the back of the head and adapted for use while engaging in activities which involve physical endeavor or usages on or around bodies of water. Closed cell shaped padding is applied to the lens supports facing the eye sockets. The arrangement is formed to have memory so that the lens supports are initially positioned away from the eye sockets and upon tightening of the retaining strap, the arrangement deforms to the shape of goggles so that the lens support padding seals around the eye sockets to protect the eyes of the user from the elements. In another arrangement, the eye pad is integrated with the lens support and hingedly attached to the temple bows.
