DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a pair of goggles and sunglasses that can be used as sunglasses as well as goggles.
BACKGROUND ART
Conventionally, sunglasses and goggles have been separately specified and used for respective applications as sunglasses or as goggles, and none of them has been applicable for both purposes.
In skiing, although sunglasses have been conventionally used for avoiding sunburn, and goggles for protection against snow, wind and the like, it has been annoying that two items, sunglasses and goggles, must be carried.
Hence, it is an object of the invention to provide one item that can be used for both purposes.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Thus, in order to provide functions of both sunglasses and goggles in one item, the present invention presents a pair of sunglasses comprising a frame member 1 and a lens member 20, and arranged to be turned into a pair of goggles by detachably attaching an upper goggle frame member 30 to an upper side of the lens member 20 or the frame member 1, and a lower goggle frame member 40 to a lateral side and lower side of the lens member 20 or the frame member 1.
Additionally, in the arrangement, an integrated goggle frame member is formed by connecting both ends of the upper goggle frame member 30 with both ends of the goggle frame member 40.
In the goggle frame member comprising the two parts or the integrated goggle frame member, the lower goggle frame member 40 corresponding to both lateral sides of the lens member 20 or frame member 1 is extended in the longitudinal direction of temples of the sunglasses to form cheek side covering parts 50, respectively, so that the face is covered in the side surface of cheeks respectively by the cheek side covering parts 50.
On the other hand, the invention presents a pair of sunglasses comprising a frame member 1 and a lens member 20, and arranged to be turned into a pair of goggles by detachably attaching a lower goggle frame member 40 to a lateral side and lower side of the lens member 20 or frame member 1, and cheek side covering parts 50 to a lateral side of the lens member 20 and/or frame member 1.
Moreover, in the arrangements, the lens member 20 is detachable attached to the frame member.
The sunglasses are turned into goggles by attaching the upper goggle frame member 30 to the upper side of lens member 20 or frame member 1 of the sunglasses, and attaching the lower goggle frame member 40 to the lateral side and lower side of the lens member 20.
They can be easily turned into goggles by attaching the integrated goggle frame member to the lens member and frame member.
The sunglasses are turned into goggles by attaching the upper goggle frame member 30 to the upper side of lens member 20 and frame member 1 of the sunglasses, the lower goggle frame member 40 to the lateral side or lower side of the lens member 20, and the cheek side covering part 50 to the lateral side of lens member 20 and/or the frame member 1. Thus, a pair of goggles are easily obtained by attaching the goggle frame members to the sunglasses, and serve for protection against snow, winds and the like.
Furthermore, by extending the cheek side covering parts 50 to the lower goggle frame member 40 or separately attaching the cheek side covering parts 50 to the lens member 20 and/or frame member 1, the effect of protection against snow, winds and the like is further increased.
In addition, the goggles are turned into sunglasses by removing the goggle frame members.
Thus, according to the invention, both sunglasses and goggles are presented as main subjects, respectively, in either form, rather than either a pair of sunglasses or goggles as a main subject.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and sco
