Abstract:
A nose clip to be clipped on a user's nose to prevent pool water from entering the user's nose cavity, comprising:two clipping arms shaped with inclined arch, having a clipping part at an end of each clipping arm; a connecting part at an opposite end of each clipping arm corresponding to the clipping part, serving to join the two clipping arms as one unit; and at least an assembling groove defined with two opposed sides on one of the clipping parts for respectively accommodating a pair of flexible pads; wherein each of said clipping parts further includes a first end located adjacent to one of the opposed sides of the assembling groove, and a second end located adjacent to the other side of the assembling groove thereby defining as an accommodating area for the corresponding flexible pad, and when putting on the nose clip to provide better comfort effect and make it suitable for users with different nose shapes, said side of the assembling groove with the first ends is away from the user's nose ridge but the other side of the assembling groove with the second ends is close to the user's nose ridge whereby the height of the side of the assembling groove with the first ends is lower than the height of the said opposite side of the assembling groove with the second ends so as to constitute a vertical arrangement of the opposed sides of the assembling groove on the clipping arms in compliance with an up-to-down curve of the user's nose ridge for said better contact with users with different nose shapes.
