Description

  The present invention relates to underwater goggles used for swimming and diving.

  Conventionally, this type of underwater goggles consists of a goggle body and a headband connected to the goggle body. The goggle body includes a goggle frame having a face pad and a goggle lens attached to the goggle frame.

  In such underwater goggles, in order to attach the goggle lens to the goggle frame, an appropriately shaped goggle lens is placed in the mold, and the molten resin that becomes the goggle frame wraps around the periphery of the goggle lens. By solidifying the resin, the goggle lens is held on the goggle frame, or the goggle lens is cut into a shape slightly larger than the shape of the goggle frame and forcibly fitted into the goggle frame.

  For the underwater goggles, the airtightness of the goggle lens peripheral side is indispensable for its use, and the goggle lens is homogeneous and should not have a degree, and should not have a prism.

  However, in the underwater goggles in which the goggle lens is held by the goggle frame by passing the molten resin that becomes the goggle frame around the goggle lens and solidifying the resin, the resin material that becomes the goggle frame is solidified. Subsequent shrinkage and deformation often cause a gap between the goggle lens and the goggle frame, resulting in poor yield. In addition, in the underwater goggles in which the goggle lens is forcibly fitted to the goggle frame, a gap is likely to occur due to a dimensional error between the goggle lens and the goggle frame, and additional processing such as sealing when the gap occurs must be performed.

  Further, in these conventional underwater goggles, when the goggle lens is attached to the goggle frame as described above, a bending stress acts, and the goggle lens has a degree or a prism is generated.

  Therefore, these conventional underwater goggles have problems that the production efficiency is very poor and the incidence of defective products is high.

  Accordingly, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of conventional underwater goggles, has no water penetration between the goggles frame and the goggles lens, and has a very good production efficiency and a defective product. It was made for the purpose of providing underwater goggles with a low occurrence rate.

  Therefore, the underwater goggles of the present invention weld the outer forming layer 5a of the goggle lens 5 integrated with the goggle frame 4 to the outer surface of the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5 and also surround the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5. The goggle frame 4 and the goggle lens 5 are integrated by welding the goggle frame 4 to the side surface, and the thickness of the outer forming layer 5a or the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5 is 0.2 to 1.5 mm. The maximum thickness of the goggle lens 5 as a whole is 1.0 to 4.5 mm.

  Furthermore, the underwater goggles of the present invention weld the intermediate forming layer 5c of the goggle lens 5 integrated with the goggle frame 4 to the inner surface of the outer forming layer 5a of the goggle lens 5, and also the outer forming layer 5a of the goggle lens 5. The goggle frame 4 is welded to the peripheral side surface, and the outer surface of the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5 is welded to the intermediate portion forming layer 5c, and the goggle frame 4 is welded to the peripheral side surface of the inner forming layer 5b. Accordingly, the goggle frame 4 and the goggle lens 5 are integrated, and the thickness of the outer forming layer 5a or the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5 is set to 0.2 to 1.5 mm, so that the entire thickness of the goggle lens 5 is maximized. Is set to 1.0 to 4.5 mm.

  In the underwater goggles of the present invention, the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5 is disposed in the injection mold, and then the molten resin is filled into the injection mold, and the molten resin is filled with the inner forming layer 5b. The goggle lens 5 having the outer forming layer 5a formed by welding to the outer surface is formed, and the goggle frame 4 and the goggle lens 5 are integrally formed by welding molten resin to the peripheral side surface of the inner forming layer 5b to form the goggle frame 4. Thus, the thickness of the outer forming layer 5a or the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5 is set to 0.2 to 1.5 mm, and the maximum thickness of the goggle lens 5 as a whole is set to 1.0 to 4.5 mm.

  Furthermore, in the underwater goggles of the present invention, after the outer forming layer 5a and the inner forming layer 5b of the goggle lens 5 are arranged in the injection molding die, the injection molding die is filled with the molten resin, The goggle lens 5 is formed by welding the inner surface of the outer forming layer 5a and the outer surface of the inner forming layer 5b to form the intermediate portion forming layer 5c. Further, molten resin is used as the peripheral side surface of the outer forming layer 5a and the inner surface of the inner forming layer 5b.
