DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention includes a goggle frame 1, a lens set 2, a protective pad 3, and a strap 4.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the goggle frame 1 is provided with a first coupling side 11 at the front and a second coupling side 12 at the rear such that the two coupling sides face away from each other. A peripheral portion 13 is provided between, and along the peripheries of, the first coupling side 11 and the second coupling side 12. The peripheral portion 13 has two lateral sides each provided with a first fastening unit 14. The first coupling side 11 is provided with at least one first engaging portion 111 and at least one second engaging portion 112. The second coupling side 12 is provided with at least one third engaging portion 113.

[0030] The first engaging portion 111, the second engaging portion 112, and the third engaging portion 113 are engaging grooves, and the first engaging portion 111 is protrudingly provided therein with a positioning pin 114. In addition, each first fastening unit 14 is provided therein with a fastening groove 141. The upper as well as the lower end of an external portion of each first fastening unit 14 is provided with an opening 142 penetrating through the fastening groove 141. Each first fastening unit 14 is further provided with two pressing portions 143 corresponding respectively to the openings 142.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the lens set 2 is securely connected to the first coupling side 11 of the goggle frame 1 in a detachable manner. The lens set 2 includes a first lens 21, a second lens 22, a connecting member 23, and a lens mount 24. The connecting member 23 is adhesively secured between the first lens 21 and the second lens 22. The connecting member 23 has an outer periphery located between the first lens 21 and the second lens 22 and formed with a furrow 231. The lens mount 24 is engaged and secured in the furrow 231 such that the first lens 21 and the second lens 22 are connected and are secured opposite each other. The lens mount 24 is provided with a fourth engaging portion 241 and a fifth engaging portion 242 which correspond respectively to the first engaging portion 111 and the second engaging portion 112 of the goggle frame 1. The fourth engaging portion 241 and the fifth engaging portion 242 are engaging blocks. Furthermore, the fourth engaging portion 241 is provided with a pin hole 243 corresponding to the positioning pin 114. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the fourth engaging portion 241 is securely engaged in the first engaging portion 111, with the positioning pin 114 of the first engaging portion 111 engaged and positioned in the pin hole 243 of the fourth engaging portion 241. The fifth engaging portion 242, on the other hand, is securely engaged in the second engaging portion 112, as shown in

[0032] FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. Thus, the lens set 2 is secured to the first coupling side 11 of the goggle frame 1.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 11, and FIG. 12, the protective pad 3 is securely connected to the second coupling side 12 of the goggle frame 1 in a detachable manner. The protective pad 3 is provided with a pad mount 31. The pad mount 31 is provided with a sixth engaging portion 311 corresponding to the third engaging portion 113 of the goggle frame 1. The sixth engaging portion 311 is an engaging block and is securely engaged in the third engaging portion 113 to secure the protective pad 3 to the second coupling side 12 of the goggle frame 1. The protective pad 3 is made of an elastic foam material.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 13, the strap 4 is fastened to the goggle frame 1 in a detachable manner. Each of the two ends of the strap 4 is provided with a second fastening unit 41 corresponding to one of the first fastening units 14 of the goggle frame 1. The upper as well as the lower end of each second fastening unit 41 is provided with an elastic hook 411. The second fastening units 41 are configured to be engaged in the fastening grooves 141 of the first fastening units 14 respectively, with the two elastic hooks 411 of each second fastening unit 41 respectively engaged in the two openings 142 of the corresponding first fastening unit 14, thereby fastening the strap 4 to the two lateral sides of the peripheral portion 13 of the goggle frame 1.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, when it is desired to detach the lens set 2 and replace it with a lens set 2 of a different style or type to adapt to a certain weather, temperature, or sports activity, a hand tool is used to disengage the fourth engaging portion 241 and the fifth engaging portion 242 of the lens mount 24 from the first engaging portion 111 and the second engaging portion 112 respectively. Then, with the positioning pin 114 of the first engaging portion 112 disengaged from the pin hole 243 of the fourth engaging portion 241, the fourth engaging portion 241 is separated from the first engaging portion 111, and, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the fifth engaging portion 242 is separated from the second engaging portion 112. The lens set 2 can now be detached from the first coupling side 11 of the goggle frame 1 and rapidly replaced with a different lens set 2.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 11, and FIG. 12, when it is desired to detach the protective pad 3 for cleaning or replacement, the sixth engaging portion 311 of the pad mount 31 is disengaged from the third engaging portion 113 of the goggle frame 1 with a hand tool and then separated from the third engaging portion 113 of the goggle frame 1, allowing the protective pad 3 to be detached from the second coupling side 12 of the goggle frame 1 and either rapidly replaced or cleaned. This helps maintain hygiene and prevent bacterial growth which tends to occur when the protective pad is wetted or made dirty by sweat during a sports activity.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 13, when it is desired to detach the strap 4 for cleaning or replacement, either due to the user's needs or preference or when the strap 4 is dirty after long-term use, the two pressing portions 143 of each first fastening unit 14 can be pressed singlehandedly in order for the two pressing portions 143 to press the two elastic hooks 411 of the corresponding second fastening unit 41 respectively. Once the two elastic hooks 411 are elastically deformed and no longer engaged in the two openings 142 of the first fastening unit 14, the second fastening unit 41 can be pulled outward to separate from the first fastening unit 14. Thus, the strap 4 is detached from the peripheral portion 13 of the goggle frame 1 and can be rapidly replaced or cleaned.

[0038] By the foregoing operations, each of the lens set 2, the protective pad 3, and the strap 4 can be easily and rapidly detached in order to be replaced or cleaned.

[0039] The embodiment described above is but one embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to be restrictive of the scope of patent protection sought by the applicant. All simple, equivalent changes and substitutions made according to the appended claims and the disclosure of this specification should fall within the scope of the present invention.
