Goggles include a goggle frame, a goggle strap, and a goggle strap connector. The goggle strap has a direction of strap tension when the goggles are worn by a user. The goggle strap connector includes a female bracket and a male bracket. The female bracket is directly coupled to the goggle frame or the goggle strap, including first and second bracket walls, a channel defined between the bracket walls, projections, and recesses. The male bracket is configured to mateably couple to the female bracket, including a sliding bar and an enlarged bar end. First movement of the goggle strap in the strap tension direction may move at least one of the bar bumps of the enlarged bar end past at least one of the projections to position the at least one of the bar bumps within at least one of the recesses.

A sporting-goods device capable of removably attaching to eyewear, specifically swimming goggles, and another object to prevent loss of the eyewear.

A webbing strap device of adjustable length include an adjustment strap anchor, an adjustment loop anchor with an adjustment loop eyelet, a ladder-shaped sliding body with a first frame crossbar, a second frame crossbar spaced from the first frame crossbar and at least two intermediate crossbars arranged between the first frame crossbar and the second frame crossbar, and a webbing strap attached to the first frame crossbar and to the adjustment strap anchor. The webbing strap extends through the slider between the at least two intermediate crossbars to form an adjustment loop. In the region of the adjustment loop, the webbing strap extends through the adjustment loop eyelet.

A goggle may include a goggle frame and a lens assembly that may be removably coupled by magnetic materials and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by mechanically engaging latch components. The latch mechanism may couple the goggle frame to the lens assembly by magnetically coupling latch components. Latch components may be included with the lens assembly and the goggle frame. The goggle frame may include an elastomer face gasket. The goggle frame may include outriggers fixedly coupled to the face gasket. The lens assembly may include an elastomer lens frame.

A protective face shield assembly is provided. The example protective face shield assembly includes a protective element, a frame, and a face seal. The frame defines a continuous inner frame edge and a continuous outer frame edge. The face seal includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and two side portions as a continuous unit, defining a continuous inner face seal edge and a continuous outer face seal edge. The continuous inner face seal edge is removably affixed against the continuous inner frame edge. The continuous outer face seal edge encapsulates an elastic band that fits against at least a front half portion of the head and face of a user. The face seal contains one or more layers of filter medium suitable for removing particulate matter from the air that flows from exterior air space and into interior air space.

The invention relates to eyeglasses having two lens units that are fitted with a device for keeping the eyeglasses on a wearer's head. The eyeglasses having a nose bridge that connects the two lens units and includes a central portion to be disposed about the wearer's nose At least one of the lens units has a duct inside to which a lateral portion of the nose bridge is slidingly mounted using a mechanism for adjusting the position of the lens unit relative to the nose bridge. The adjusting mechanism has a member that is rotatably mounted in the duct. The member and the lateral portion of the nose bridge comprise a coupler designed to convert the rotation of the member into a relative translational movement between the lateral portion and the duct.

Goggles include a main frame of goggles, a lens, an exhaust valve and a nose pad supporter. The exhaust valves and the nose pad supporter are disposed on the main frame of goggles and are integrally molded with the main frame of goggles. The main frame of the goggles is wrapped outside the lens, and the lens is clamped in the main frame of goggles. The goggles can keep tight structure and have a good air permeability, and prevent blood and other liquids from spattering into the goggles.

A diving mask system is disclosed comprising a faceplate having a lateral partition on an interior surface delineating an upper and lower section, the lower section comprising a region that extends away from the upper section and includes at least one cutout section fitted with a complementary-shaped flexible insert that enables a user to grasp the nose. The faceplate further includes a rigid annular support frame either bonded to or extending out from a backside of said flange, the frame being configured within the outer periphery of said flange. A flexible annular sidewall skirt is attached to the support frame. The flexible skirt includes a lateral nose piece section attached to the partition. The lateral nose piece section having an inlet aperture and check valve for inhaled air, and an orifice through which an exhalation conduit having a separate check valve extends from the lower chamber to a snorkel device forming a passageway for exhaled air to pass through the upper chamber to the snorkel device. A quick-release clasp mechanism attached to the mask's elastic retention straps is also disclosed.

A diving mask system is disclosed comprising a faceplate having a lateral partition on an interior surface delineating an upper and lower section, the lower section comprising a region that extends away from the upper section and includes at least one cutout section fitted with a complementary-shaped flexible insert that enables a user to grasp the nose. The faceplate further includes a flexible tubular insert defining a passageway extending through the faceplate to a lower chamber. The tubular insert has a distal end dimensioned to fit and seal onto the mouthpiece receiver tube of a conventional second stage scuba regulator permitting the mask to be scuba enabled. A quick-release clasp mechanism attached to the mask's elastic retention straps is also disclosed.

A ventilator mask system is disclosed comprising a faceplate having a lateral partition on an interior surface delineating an upper and lower section, the lower section comprising a region that extends away from the upper section and includes at least one cutout opening fitted with a complementary-shaped flexible insert that enables a user to grasp the nose. The faceplate further includes a snorkel coupling having a passageway contained therein and conduits connecting the passageways with a lower chamber. The faceplate further includes a tubular ventilating sleeve which provides separate passageways for supplying fresh air and exhausting exhaled air through the faceplate. The tubular ventilating sleeve has a tubular body and an inhalation conduit defining a passageway that connects a snorkel coupling and to an inhalation tube of a ventilating device. The tubular inhalation conduit fluidly connects a snorkel coupling passageway of said scuba-enabled mask to said inhalation tube of said ventilating device.
