Patent number: 7647650Abstract: Swimming goggles include a couple of reticulate holding frames connected by a bridge, a couple of frames assembled in the reticulate holding frames, a couple of eyeglasses assembled in the frames, and fasteners. The reticulate holding frames are made of rigid material. Each reticulate holding frame forms a first and a second locking annulus corresponding to each other. Each reticulate holding frame defines an assembling opening in outward sides of the first and the second locking annulus. A first and a second connecting sheets respectively extend from opposing sides of the assembling opening and are assembled together when the swimming goggles are assembled. The frames are made of soft material and are assembled in the reticulate holding frames. The fasteners are assembled on the first and the second connecting sheets of the reticulate holding frames, and press the first and the second connecting sheets in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2007Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Inventor: Herman Chiang

Patent number: 7552484Abstract: A pair of swimming goggles has two ocular assemblies connected by a bridging element, and the means to adjust their separation. The bridging element is composed, symmetrically in relation to a median plane, of a central body and, laterally on either side of the latter, of a lower stalk and an upper stalk which are flexible and attached to an ocular assembly. Each of the two ocular assemblies has first temporary locking resources, at least on a first face. At least one of the stalks is fitted with second temporary locking resources, designed to fit onto the first temporary locking resources so that the temporary locking of the said stalk on the said first face of the ocular assembly is achieved at a distance from the central body chosen by the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2006Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: DecathlonInventors: Jean Marc Seynhaeve, François Barbier
