Abstract
A combined goggle and face mask includes a goggle body, a strap, a shield, and two retaining members. Either side of the goggle body is recessed with a receiving portion. The goggle body is provided with a lens. Either end of the strap is provided with a bracket to be coupled to the receiving portion. The bracket is supported by the receiving portion. The shield is coupled to the google body. The retaining member is coupled to the bracket. Because the bracket is received in the receiving portion, the bracket can be supported by the receiving portion, so as to offset the pulling force. First edges that are oblique edges and second edges each in the form of a curved corner of the bracket are supported by two oblique sides and two bent sides each in the form of a curved corner of the receiving portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0030] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a combined goggle and face mask according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a goggle body 1, a strap 2, a shield 3, and two retaining members 4.
[0032] Either side of the goggle body 1 is recessed with a receiving portion 11. The receiving portion 11 has two engaging holes 12. The front edge of the goggle body 1 is provided with a lens 13. As shown in FIG. 4, the receiving portion 11 further has two oblique sides 111 that are adjacent to the respective edges of the engaging holes 12 and oblique rearward (as shown in FIG. 12). The two oblique sides 111 each extend toward the lens 13 and are connected to form a bent side 112 in the form of a curved corner.
[0033] The strap 2 is coupled to the goggle body 1. Either end of the strap 2 is provided with a bracket 21 to be coupled to the receiving portion 11. The bracket 21 has two engaging blocks 22 corresponding in position to the respective engaging holes 12. The engaging blocks 22 are engaged in the respective engaging holes 12 (as shown in FIG. 3), so that the bracket 21 is coupled to the receiving portion 11 and is supported by the receiving portion 11. The bracket 21 has two first edges 211 that are oblique edges corresponding to the two oblique sides 111 of the receiving portion 11 and two second edges 212 each in the form of a curved corner corresponding to the two bent sides 112. The bracket 21 further has a retaining hole 23 and two stop flanges 24 arranged around the retaining hole 23. As shown in FIG. 7, the outer surface of one of the stop flanges 24 is provided with a stepped slide section 25, so as to provide a multi-step slide positioning effect. As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, one edge of the slide section 25, adjacent to the retaining hole 23, is tapered toward the other edge of the slide section 25. The slide section 25 has a through hole 251, so that the slide section 25 is more flexible and has certain elasticity. A protrusion 241 is provided on the other stop flange 24. The inner surface of each of the two stop flanges 24 is formed with a recess 26. The recesses 26 of the two stop flanges 24 face each other.
[0034] The shield 3 is coupled to the google body 1. Either side of the shield 3 has a retaining end 31. The retaining end 31 is formed with a perforation 32. The inner surface of the retaining end 31 is provided with a slide block 33 and a slide groove 34 close to the periphery of the perforation 32.
[0035] The retaining member 4 is inserted and positioned in the retaining hole 23 of the bracket 2 and the perforation 32 of the shield 3. The retaining member 4 includes a pair of raised retaining portions 41 that can be elastically retracted and extended (as shown in FIG. 4). The retaining portions 41 each have a protruding block 42. When the retaining member 4 is rotated relative to the bracket 21, the protruding block 42 is engaged in the recess 26 of the stop flange 24 (as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 10) to prevent the retaining member 4 from disengaging from the bracket 21.
[0036] In installation, as shown FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, first, the brackets 21 at the two ends of the strap 2 are correspondingly placed in the two receiving portions 11, respectively. The two engaging blocks 22 of each bracket 21 are engaged in the respective engaging holes 12 (as shown in FIG. 3), so that the two brackets 21 are coupled to the two receiving portions 11, respectively. Then, the two retaining ends 31 of the shield 3 correspond to the two brackets 21, and the perforations 32 of the two retaining ends 31 are aligned with the retaining holes 23 of the two brackets 21. The retaining portions 41 of each retaining member 4 (as shown in FIG. 4) are correspondingly inserted into the perforation 32 of the shield 3 and the retaining hole 23 of the bracket 21. When the retaining portions 41 pass through the perforation 32 and the retaining hole 23, they will be compressed to be elastically retracted. After passing through the perforation 32 and the retaining hole 23, the retaining portions 41 will be elastically extended. After that, When the retaining member 4 is rotated relative to the bracket 21, the protruding block 42 is engaged in the recess 26 of the stop flange 24 (as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 10) to prevent the retaining member 4 from disengaging from the bracket 21. In this way, the strap 2 is coupled to the goggle body 1. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 11, the slide block 33 is slidable on the slide section 25 to provide a multi-step slide positioning effect. The protrusion 241 is slidable in the slide groove 34, so as to adjust the opening angle of the shield 3 (as shown in FIG. 6).
[0037] When in use, the strap 2 is put on the user's head A. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 and FIG. 12, when the strap 2 is put on the head A, a pulling force P will be generated to the brackets 21 at the two ends of the strap 2. Because the two brackets 21 are received in the respective receiving portions 11 and the two engaging blocks 22 of the two brackets 21 are engaged in the respective engaging holes 12, the two brackets 21 are supported by the two receiving portions 11, in cooperation with the two engaging blocks 22 of the two brackets 21 to be engaged in the respective engaging holes 12. The bracket 21 has the first edges 211 that are oblique edges corresponding to the two oblique sides 111 of the receiving portion 11 and the second edges 212 that are curved corner corresponding to the curved corner of the two bent sides 112. Since the strap 2 is held on the head A of the user, the strap 2 will generate a backward pulling force P. First, the bracket 21 is supported by the two oblique sides 111 and the two bent sides 112 each in the form of a curved corner, which can offset the backward pulling force P. The two engaging blocks 22 are engaged into the engaging holes 12 to provide a fixing effect. Through the first edges 211 that are oblique edges and the second edges 212 each in the form of a curved corner of the bracket 21, the strap 2 is prevented from being pulled and broken, and the bracket 21 is prevented from cracking under stress, so as to ensure the overall integrity and prevent the goggle body 1 from being damaged.
[0038] Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
