  • Patent number: 6460196
    Abstract: Goggles include an eye-cup and a belt that are coupled by means of a coupling member. The eye-cup and the coupling member can be engaged and disengaged easier compared with conventional goggles. In the goggles, at a connecting end of the coupling member is provided an elastic bent piece with a V-shape section and a spring property. And a connection recess is provided on the eye-cup. The elastic bent piece of the coupling member and the connection recess of the eye-cup are fixed together in a mutual engaging state. The engaging state can be released by narrowing the gap distance in the V-shape of the elastic bent piece.
