  • Patent number: 10973690
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a goggle device and a spectacle frame thereof. The spectacle frame includes a buckling structure arranged on an end portion thereof. The buckling structure has an accommodating space and an entrance in spatial communication with the accommodating space. The buckling structure includes a cantilever arranged in the accommodating space and a retaining wall that is arranged in the accommodating space and is spaced apart from the cantilever. A free end portion of the cantilever is arranged adjacent to the entrance, and the cantilever is rotatable between a lock position and an unlock position. When the cantilever is at the lock position, the free end portion shields the entrance. When the cantilever is rotated to the unlock position by an external force, the free end portion does not shield the entrance, and the cantilever is deformed to store an elastic force.

  • Patent number: 10973689
    Abstract: A snow goggle device includes a spectacle frame, two pivoting members movably connected to the spectacle frame, and a curved lens pivotally connected to the two pivoting members. Each pivoting member is cooperated with the spectacle frame to form with a first segment movable along a straight path and a second segment movable along an arced path, and includes a third segment synchronously movable with the first segment and the second segment. When the first and the second segments of each pivoting member are synchronously moved, the third segments drive the curved lens to move with respect to the spectacle frame between a closed position and an open position, synchronously causing a deformation of the curved lens. When the curved lens is at the closed position or the open position, the curved lens receives a stress that is smaller than a stress generated from the deformation.
