Patent ID: 7143454

Claim:
Swimming goggles having a vertical direction, a transverse direction orthogonal to said vertical direction and a back-and-forth direction orthogonal to both said vertical direction and said transverse direction, said swimming goggles comprising: a pair of cup-shaped lens assemblies arranged side by side in said transverse direction; annular pad assemblies attached to peripheral frames of respective said lens assemblies and extending in said back-and-forth direction; a bridge extending between inner ends of respective said lens assemblies opposed to each other; a strap band assembly between outer ends of respective said lens assemblies; said lens assemblies being formed from a hard plastic material and each of said pad assemblies being formed from two types of elastic material of which the one defines a first elastic member non-detachably attached to each of said peripheral frames and the other defines a second elastic member non-detachably bonded to said first elastic member and adapted to come in close contact with face of a swimmer wearing said swimming goggles; and said first elastic member being formed from first elastic material and in close contact with and non-detachably bonded to said lens assembly in a radial direction of said lens assembly and in said back-and-forth direction, with said second elastic member being formed from second elastic material differing from said first elastic material in stiffness and any one of color tone and chemical composition and in close contact with and non-detachably bonded to said first elastic member in said radial direction and said back-and-forth direction.
