Description

The present invention relates to goggles preferred for use in swimming, other sports and the like.

Conventionally, as this type of goggles, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a pair of left and right eye cups 21, a connecting member 22 for connecting the opposing inner ends of both eye cups 21, an elastic band 23, and an eye. There is one composed of a connecting member 24 that connects the cup 21 and the elastic band 23 (Patent Document 1).

In the goggles, as shown in FIG. 13, the connecting member 24 is composed of a hard plastic belt adjuster 25 and a buckle 26, and a highly elastic (soft) plastic belt clip 27 which is a rubber-like elastic body. .. The connecting member 24 is an integrally molded product in which the belt adjuster 25, the buckle 26, and the belt clip 27 are integrally connected.

The connecting member 24 is mounted on the mounting portion 29 of the eyecup 21 via a belt stopper 28 so as to be relatively rotatable in the vertical direction. That is, the connecting member 24 can rotate up and down about 5 degrees with respect to the eyecup 21 about the center P (see FIG. 16). As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the connecting member 24 is restricted from moving in the front-rear direction by the locking shaft portion 31 loosely fitted in the engaging hole 30 of the belt adjuster 25, and the locking shaft portion 31 and the eye The cup 21 is guided by the outer wall surface 32 of the mounting portion and the engaging hole 33 to rotate relative to each other.
