  • Patent number: 11700901
    Abstract: Goggles include a frame unit having a main hole and a connecting portion, an adjustment set disposed on the frame unit, a first lens unit pivotally disposed on the frame unit, and a second lens unit having an engagement portion pivotally connected to the adjustment set. The adjustment set has an adjusting unit penetrating through the main hole, a positioning unit engaging with the adjusting unit, and a positioning hole formed on the positioning unit and adapted to engage with the engagement portion. Accordingly, the first lens unit can be lifted open at any angle relative to the frame unit. The upward and downward movement of the second lens unit is adjusted by the adjustment set, and a rotation of the engagement portion within the positioning hole allows the second lens unit to be lifted open at any angle relative to the frame unit.

  • Patent number: 4711539
    Abstract: An optical lens carrying support structure for use with a protective face mask, comprising a pair of lens frames, each frame comprising an eyewire and a hinge portion, the lens frames being connected by a hinged nosepiece. The support structure attaches to the face mask by a slideably releasable dove-tail connection to a trapezoidal back-block, which back-block rigidly attaches to the face mask, with two opposite faces of the trapezoidal back-block inclined with respect to each other so as to establish the proper pantoscopic angle. The face-form angle is accomplished by virtue of an angled relation of the eyewire to the hinge portion of the lens frame. The lens frames fold back toward each other, facilitating removal of the lenses and folding the face mask assembly flat.
