The central section 103 is a curved surface, and the horizontal axis X formed by the width center of the first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102 is used as the top 1031 of the curved surface 103 (that is, the highest point of the curved surface), it is divided into an upper arc surface 1032 and a lower arc surface 1033 based on the top 1031. Each of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 have a first surface 1034 and a second surface 1035, wherein the second surface 1035 is contact with the back of the head.

(10) Please refer to FIGS. 4D and 4E and FIGS. 4F and 4G in conjunction with FIG. 4C, wherein FIGS. 4D and 4E shows that the upper arc surface 1032 forms an extended convex surface 104 on the first surface 1034, as depicted in FIG. 4C, the extended convex surface 104 is configured to be convex in an unloaded state. The extended convex surface 104 is a continuous ribbed decoration, which can balance the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033, and balance the tensile force of the wear. In other words, the upper arc surface 1032 is on the extended convex surface 104 of the first surface 1034 and crosses the junction C of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033, and is arranged along each side of the first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102, as shown in FIG. 4D, forming a continuous extension helps increase the thickness of the upper arc surface 1032 and each of the thickness of the first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102, that will change the pulling tension of the upper arc surface 1032 depending on the position and number of the extended convex surface 104. When the tensile force is applied, the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 tends to be balanced, and the effect of wearing tensile force balance is achieved. In addition, FIGS. 4F and 4G show that the upper arc surface 1032 forms a plurality of drainage patterns 105 on the second surface 1035. The drainage patterns 105 have openings 1051 adjacent to the edges of the second surface 1035, so that the formation of a channel is conducive to the drainage effect when moving in the water, and can be reduced the upper arc surface 1032 sliding. Thus, it can be clearly seen that the central section 103 of the head strap 10 of the present invention is a curved surface, which naturally fits a back of the head will not slide, and there will be no risk of water leakage (please see FIG. 4H) when wearing. There is no need to wear the head strap by tilting and pulling force as is conventional.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4F and 4G, the upper arc surface 1032 forms a plurality of drainage patterns 105 on the second surface 1035. The drainage patterns 105 are used to form channels, it is beneficial to drain the oncoming water resistance from the openings 1051 of the drainage patterns 105 when moving in the water, especially at the moment of diving, and the upper arc surface 1032 is prevented from sliding due to hydroplaning during the movement in the water. (Note: The phenomenon of hydroplaning occurs when the rolling tires lose contact with the road surface and float on the water film on the water-filled road. The head strap is used as the swimming goggles in the water between the movement process and the water resistance in the water, if there is no plural drainage pattern 105 design, it is easy to cause hydroplaning between the head strap and the head due to loss of contact, and make the head strap 10 sliding so as to affect the fit between the headband and the head). In addition, please refer to FIG. 4H, which is a schematic diagram of the head strap 10 of the present invention assembled in the swimming goggles and worn on the head. As shown in the figure, it can be clearly seen that the central section 103 of the head strap 10 is designed with its curved surface, which is able to conform to the back of the head without the need to wear it by oblique pulling force as is conventionally used when worn, and the central section 103 naturally fits the back of the head without sliding, and there is no risk of water leakage. Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 4D and 4E, the upper arc surface 1032 extends on the first surface 1034 to form a continuous extension of the extended convex surface 104, which helps increase the thickness of the upper arc surface 1032 and each side of the thickness of the first set and the second set of connecting section 101 and 102. Depending on the position and number of the extended convex surfaces 104, the pulling tension of the upper arc surface 1032 can be changed, and the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 can be balanced when the head strap 10 is under tension, so as to achieve the wearing tension balance. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4F and 4G, the upper arc surface 1032 is provided on the second surface 1035 with multiple drainage patterns 105, which can reduce the hydroplaning caused when moving in the water, and which can make the sliding of the central section 103 more reduced.

(12) Please refer to FIGS. 5A to 5E for the second embodiment of the head strap of the head strap device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the head strap 10 of the head strap device of this embodiment has a first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102 and central section 103.

As shown in the figure, although the central section 103 of the head strap 10 has a elongated opening 107 like the conventional, however, the central section 103 is a curved surface, and the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 also curved surfaces. Therefore, when the head strap of the swimming goggles is tightened, the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 are designed to conform to the back of the head. It does not need to be worn by oblique pulling force as is conventional, but can naturally fit on the back of the head without sliding, and there will be no risk of water leakage. The upper arc surface 1032 extending the extended convex surface 104 on the first surface 1034 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the extended convex surface 104 can provide the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 tends to be balanced, so that the wearing tension is balanced. In other words, when the head strap of the swimming goggles is tightened, the arc design of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 can naturally fits the back of the head. Although the force is exerted on the first set of connecting sections 101 and the second set of connecting sections 102, but the upper arc surface 1032 extends the extended convex surface 104 on the first surface 1034, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5E, the extended convex surface 104 crossing the junction C of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033, and along each of the first set of connecting sections 101 and the second set of connecting sections 102, forming a continuous extension which can helps increase the thickness of the upper arc surface 1032 and each of the thickness of the first set of connecting sections 101 and the second set of connecting sections 102, Depending on the position and number of the extension convex surfaces 104, the pulling tension of the upper arc surface 1032 can be changed, and the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc 1033 can be balanced when the head strap 10 is under tension, so as to achieve the wearing tension balance. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, the upper arc surface 1032 is provided on the second surface 1035 with multiple drainage patterns 105, which can reduce the hydroplaning caused when moving in the water, and which can make the sliding of the central section 103 more reduced.

(14) Please continue to refer to FIGS. 7A to 7C for the perspective view, plan view, and 7B-7B cross-sectional views of the adjustment buckle of the head strap device of the present invention. As shown in the figures, the head strap device of the present invention further includes an adjustment buckle 3. The adjusting buckle 3 includes a body 31, the body 31 is provided with an opening 32, and the side of the opening 32 is provided with a pin hole 33 for a pin 34 to be assembled; a guide post 35 is disposed away from the pin hole 33 on the opening 32, and the guide post 35 divides the opening 32 into a first through hole 321 and a second through hole 322. In addition, the body 31 on the side of the pin hole 33 is provided with a partition 36, which shields a part of the first through hole 321, and can be separated by the partition 36 when the head strap is threaded and overlapped, so as to reduce friction. Please refer to FIGS. 8A to 8C for the head strap assembly on the body 31 of the adjustment buckle 3 for the head strap adjustment. As shown in the figure, the free end 42 of the head strap 4 is passed around the guide post 35 and then passed through wrap around the through hole 51 of the lens, and pass it back to the body 31 to align the sleeve 23 (24) of the free end 41 with the pin hole 33 and fix it on the body 31 of the adjusting buckle 3 by the pin 34, then the head strap 4 and the lens frame can be connected as a whole. When the head strap 4 is worn and adjusted, there is no need to take off the swimming goggles, just push the body 31 directly in front of the swimming goggles (as shown in FIG. 8C, the arrow point to the left). At this time, although the head strap 4 is passed through the body 31, but not overlapped each other due to be separated by the partition 36, and the head strap 4 can be easily adjusted to loosen; on the contrary, the adjustable head strap 4 is tightened by pushing it toward the back of the swimming goggles (As shown in FIG. 8C, the arrow point to the right). In the above-mentioned head strap adjustment process, when there is no pushing and pulling from external force, the head strap can maintain the function of fixing the length of the head strap due to the resistance of the buckle to change the angle. To summarize the above, the adjustment buckle 3 of the present invention can provide the head strap 4 adjustment directly, without removing the swimming goggles when worn, due to the pins 34 and the guide post 35 disposed with misaligned each other, and the partition 36 separated the overlapped head strap, thus can provide convenient use effect.
