Abstract
Swimming or diving goggles comprise a main body (3, fig. 2), a head strap (1, fig. 2), and a head strap coupling portion 31. An attachment portion 12 is formed adjacent an end 11 of the head strap. A buckle 2 includes two sidewalls 21 defining a space. An eccentric axle 24 engages with the attachment portion. Front and rear posts 25, 26 extend between the sidewalls 21 and define a passage 28. In use the end of the head strap 11 extends through the passage 28, and is wound around coupling portion 31 to form a bend. The head strap 1 then has an inner section 15 and an outer section 14. The head strap and the buckle 2 are jointly movable. A tightening force acting on the inner section 15 makes the inner section form a bend in the passage 28. The inner section 15 presses against the front post and the rear post to hold the head strap 1 in position. To adjust the goggles the holding portion 13 is pulled (fig. 4), and the buckle rotates to allow the strap to pass freely between the posts 25 and 26.
Description
HEAD STRAP AND BUCKLE DEVICE FOR SWIMMING/DIVING GOGGLES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a head strap and buckle device for swimming/diving goggles and, more particularly, to a head strap and buckle device for swimming/diving goggles allowing easy adjustment of a tightening length of the head strap by a user and providing enhanced tightening by fixing an end of the head strap relative to the buckle. A type of conventional swimming goggles includes two lenses, two frames, a bridge, a buckle, and a head strap. The buckle is used to assemble with the head strap and to allow adjustment of the tightening length of the head strap. FIG. 10 shows a conventional head strap and buckle device for swimming/diving goggles. An end of the buckle Γ includes a coupling portion 1Γ for coupling with the swimming goggles. The other end of the buckle 1 ’ includes a tightening portion 12’ for coupling with a soft head strap 2’. The tightening portion 12’ includes two posts 121’ and 122’ in a center thereof and a notch 123’ in an end thereof.
The coupling portion 11 ’ is coupled with a body 3 ’ of the swimming goggles. The head strap 2’ extends between the notch 123’ and the post 121 ’ and is wound around the posts 121’ and 122’. An end 124’ of the head strap 2’ again extends between the notch 123’ and the post 121’ to fix the tightening length of the head strap 2’.
However, when the user is intended to adjust the tightening length of the head strap 2’, the user has to remove the body 3’ from the head of the user, loosen the head strap 2’ at the posts 121’ and 122’ and the notch 123’, and then adjust the length of the head strap 2’, which is time-consuming. However, after adjustment, the large spacing a between the end 124’ of the head strap 2’ and the buckle 1 ’ results in difficult positioning of the end 124’ of the head strap 2’, leading to shifting of the end 124’ (see phantom lines) and unsatisfactory tightening. FIG. 11 show another conventional head strap and buckle device for swimming/diving goggles. The buckle 40’ includes a pressing portion 4’, a clamping portion 5’, and a connecting portion 6’. The connecting portion 6’ is around a mounting peg 81’ of a main body 8’ of the swimming/diving goggles. The pressing portion 4’ includes a post 41’ around which the head strap 7’ extends. The clamping portion 5’ includes a clamping hole 51’ in which the head strap 7’ can fold in half and a retaining edge 52’ for retaining the head strap 7’. An end 71’ of the head strap 7’ can be pulled to tighten the head strap 7’ around the head of the user. When the head strap 7’ is released, the head strap 7’ exerts a pulling force to make the post 41’ and the retaining edge 52’ tightly position the head strap 7’. When loosening of the head strap 7’ is desired, the user can press the pressing portion 4’ to increase the spacing between the post 41’ and the retaining edge 52’ (see the double arrow in FIG. 11). An example of such a head strap and buckle device for swimming/diving goggles is shown in U.S. Patent No. 6,691,378. However, the spacing b between the end 7Γ of the head strap 7’ and the buckle 40’ during tightening is too large and results in difficult positioning of the end 71’ of the head strap 7’, leading to shifting of the end 71’ (see phantom lines) and unsatisfactory tightening. FIG. 12 shows another conventional head strap and buckle device for swimming/diving goggles. The buckle 91’ is provided on a side of a main body 90’ of the swimming/diving goggles for coupling with the head strap 92’. The buckle 91’ includes a base 91Γ, a cover 912’, and a button 913’. The button 913’ includes a shaft 914’ rotatably connected to the base 91Γ. The button 913’ further includes an engagement end 915’ and an abutment end 916’. The abutment end 916’ can press against an elastic portion 90 Γ of the main body 90 ’. When the button 913 ’ is not pressed, the engagement end 915’ engages with teeth 902’ of the head strap 92’, which only permits pulling of an end 921’ of the head strap 92 in the tightening direction. When the button 913’ is pressed, the engagement end 915’ disengages from the teeth 920’ of the head strap 92’ to release the head strap 92’. An example of such a head strap and buckle device for swimming/diving goggles is shown in U.S. Patent No. 7,020,904. However, the spacing C between the end 921’ of the head strap 92’ and the buckle 91’ during pulling of the head strap 92’ is too large and results in difficult positioning of the end 921’ of the head strap 92’, leading to shifting of the end 921’ (see phantom lines) and unsatisfactory tightening. Furthermore, the head strap and buckle device includes many components and, thus, results in troublesome assembly. Furthermore, the engagement end 915’ cannot reliably engage with the teeth 920’ of the head strap 92’ when the elasticity of the elastic portion 901’ is insufficient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
With reference to FIGS. 1-3, swimming/diving goggles of a first example according to the present invention includes a main body 3, a head strap turnaround component, a head strap 1, and a buckle 2 on each of two sides of the main body 3. Each side of the main body 3 includes a head strap coupling portion 31. In this example, each head strap coupling portion 31 of the main body 3 includes a pin 311 forming the head strap turnaround component. The head strap 1 is made of a flexible material and includes first and second ends 11. An attachment portion 12 is formed on each of the first and second ends 11 of the head strap 1, is located adjacent to an end edge of one of the first and second edges 11, and includes an axle hole 121. A holding portion 13 of an appropriate length is formed between each attachment portion 12 and the end edge of a corresponding one of the first and second ends 11 of the head strap 1.
Each buckle 2 includes first and second sidewalls 21 parallel to each other. Each of the first and second sidewalls 21 includes an upper edge 211, a lower edge 212 spaced from the upper edge 211 in a height direction, a front edge 213, and a rear edge 214 spaced from the front edge 213 in a length direction perpendicular to the height direction. A space 22 is defined between the first and second sidewalls 21. An eccentric axle 24 extends between upper front portions of the first and second sidewalls 21. In this example, the upper front portion of each of the first and second sidewalls 21 includes an eccentric hole 23. The eccentric axle 24 is received in the eccentric holes 23 and extends through the axle hole 121 of one of the attachment portions 12 of the head strap 1. A front post 25 and a rear post 26 extend between the first and second sidewalls 21 and are parallel to each other. The front post 25 is located between the eccentric axle 24 and the rear post 26 in the length direction. The rear post 26 is located between the front post 25 and the rear edge 214 in the length direction. The eccentric axle 24 is located between the upper edges 211 and the front post 25 in the height direction. The rear post 26 is spaced from the upper edges 211 of the first and second sidewalls 21 in the height direction. A rear opening 27 is formed between the rear post 26 and the upper edges 211 of the first and second sidewalls 21. A passage 28 is defined between the front and rear posts 25 and 26 and extends in the height direction. A spacing between the front post 25 and the lower edge 212 of each of the first and second sidewalls 21 is substantially the same as the width of the head strap 1. The front post 25 includes a lower engagement edge 251 on a lower rear portion thereof. The rear post 26 includes an upper engagement edge 261 on an upper front portion thereof.
Each of the first and second ends 11 of the head strap 1 extends through the rear opening 27 of one of the two buckles 2 into the space 22 of one of the two buckles 2, extends through the passage 28 of one of the two buckles 2, and is wound around one of the pins 311 of the main body 3 to form a bend. Each attachment portion 12 of the head strap 1 engages with the eccentric axle 24 of one of the two buckles 2. Each holding portion 13 extends rearwards through the rear opening 27 of one of the buckles 2. After assembly, on each side of the main body 3, the head strap 1 includes an outer section 14 and an inner section 15 on two sides of the bend, with the outer section 14 including the attachment portion 12 and with the outer section 14 of the head strap 1 and each buckle 2 being jointly movable. A tightening force acting on the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 moves the passage 28 to be in a direction perpendicular to the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 and forms a bend in the passage 28. Furthermore, the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 presses against the lower engagement edge 251 of the front post 25 and the upper engagement edge 261 of the rear post 26, retaining the head strap 1 in place. FIG. 4 shows a side of the swimming/diving goggle, with the other side being a mirror image. When it is desired to proceed with a large extent of tightening length adjustment, the user can pull the head strap 1 rearwards by the holding portion 13 of the head strap 1 or the eccentric axle 24. The buckle 2 pivots such that the passage 28 is moved to be in a ffont/rear direction of the main body 3. Thus, the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 is not retained by the front and rear posts 25 and 26, allowing adjustment of the tightening length of the head strap 1.
Please referrer to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 shows a side of the swimming/diving goggle, with the other side being a mirror image. After tightening, the holding portion 13 of the head strap 1 or the eccentric axle 24 is released, the tightening force (see the double arrow) acting on the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 returns the buckle 2 to a position in which the passage 28 is perpendicular to the inner section 15, forming a bend such that the lower engagement edge 251 of the front post 25 and the upper engagement edge 261 of the rear post 26 retain the adjusted head strap 1 in place. The operation is easy. Furthermore, the outer section 14 of the head strap 1 becomes longer after adjustment, but the spacing between the first end 11 and the buckle 2 remains unchanged, preventing dangling of the excessively long length between the first end 11 and the buckle 2 while providing enhanced tightening effect. FIG. 7 shows a side of the swimming/diving goggle, with the other side being a mirror image. When it is desired to release the head strap 1, the user can apply a small force in a direction indicated by the upwards arrow in FIG. 7 to move the buckle 2 forwards. The force applied by the user is larger than the engagement force between the head strap 1 and the buckle 2. In cooperation with the tightening force acting on the head strap 1 indicated by the double arrow, the length of the outer section 14 of the head strap 1 can easily be reduced, which is easy in operation. FIGS. 8 and 8A show swimming/diving goggles of a second example according to the present invention. In this example, the swimming/diving goggles includes only one buckle 2 mounted behind the main body 3, and the attachment portion 12 is formed on the first end 11 of the head strap 1. Furthermore, the head strap turnaround component is a comiecting member 4 including a first side and a second side having a peg 41. The head strap 1 is coupled with the head strap coupling portions 31, and the first and second ends 11 of the head strap 1 are located behind the main body 3. The second end 11 of the head strap 1 is fixed to the first side of the connecting member 4. The first end 11 of the head strap 1 extends through the rear opening 27 into the space 22 ul me uuuKic caicuuS uuuugu tuc paSSagc jLo ul iuc uuuKic z., aiiu 1¾ wtjuiiu atuunu uic peg 41. The attachment portion 12 of the head strap 1 engages with the eccentric axle 24 of the buckle 2.
The holding portion 13 on the first end 11 of the head strap 1 extends rearwards through the rear opening 27 of the buckle 2. After assembly, the head strap 1 includes an outer section 14 and an inner section 15 on two sides of the peg 41, with the outer section 14 including the attachment portion 12 and with the outer section 14 of the head strap 1 and the buckle 2 being jointly movable. A tightening force acting on the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 moves the passage 28 to be in a direction perpendicular to the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 and forms a bend in the passage 28. Furthermore, the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 presses against the lower engagement edge 251 of the front post 25 and the upper engagement edge 261 of the rear post 26, retaining the head strap 1 in place. Operation of the second example is substantially the same as the first example for tightening and loosening the head strap 1. FIGS. 9 and 9A show a swimming/diving goggles of a third example according to the present invention. In this example, the swimming/diving goggles includes first and second buckles 2. The attachment portion 12 is formed on each of the first and second ends 11 of the head strap 1. Furthermore, the head strap turnaround component is a connecting member 5 including first and second pegs 51. The head strap 1 is coupled with the head strap coupling portions 31. The first and second ends 11 of the head strap 1 are located behind the main body 3. The first end 11 of the head strap 1 extends through the rear opening 27 into the space 22 of the first buckle 2, extends through the passage 28 of the first buckle 2, and is wound around the first peg 51. The attachment portion 12 on the first end 11 of the head strap 1 engages with the eccentric axle 24 of the first buckle 2. The second end 11 of the head strap 1 extends through the rear opening 27 into the space 22 of the second buckle 2, extends through the passage 28 of the second buckle 2, and is wound around the second peg 51. The attachment portion 12 on the second end 11 of the head strap 1 engages with the eccentric axle 24 of the second buckle 2.
The holding portion 13 on each of the first and second ends 11 of the head strap 1 extends rearwards through the rear opening 27 of one of the first and second buckles 2. After assembly, on each side of the main body 3, the head strap 1 includes an outer section 14 and an inner section 15 on two sides of one of the first and second pegs 51, with the outer section 14 including the attachment portion 12 and with the outer section 14 of the head strap 1 and the associated buckle 2 being jointly movable.
For each of the first and second buckles 2, a tightening force acting on the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 moves the passage 28 to be in a direction perpendicular to the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 and forms a bend in the passage 28. Furthermore, the inner section 15 of the head strap 1 presses against the lower engagement edge 251 of the front post 25 and the upper engagement edge 261 of the rear post 26, retaining the head strap 1 in place. Operation of the third example is substantially the same as the first example for tightening and loosening the head strap 1 by moving the first and second buckles 2.
The head strap and buckle device according to the present invention can be used on diving goggles. Furthermore, the head strap 1 can be directly tied to the eccentric axle 24 or coupled to the eccentric axle 24 by any suitable provision. In a case that the head strap 1 does not include the holding portion 13, the user can directly pull the head strap 1 by the eccentric axle 24 for adjusting purposes while providing an integral aesthetic appearance.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described, numerous modifications and variations are still possible without departing from the scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is limited by the accompanying claims.
