ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improved pad structure and, more particularly, to a pad structure of swimming glasses, wherein grooves are annularly formed at inner edges of a pair of pads, and a pair of sponges are sheathed in the grooves so that penetration of water into the swimming glasses due to absorption of water by the sponges can be avoided.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, a pair of swimming glasses in the prior art comprise a frame
10
, a pair of pads
16
, and a pair of sponges
17
. The frame
10
comprises a pair of rims
11
, a bridge
12
, a pair of lenses
13
, and a pair of fasteners
14
. The bridge
12
is connected between the pair of rims
11
. The pair of lenses
13
are respectively situated in the pair of rims
11
. The pair of fasteners
14
are situated at two opposite outer sides of the pair of rims
11
with a ductile belt
15
tied between them. The pair of pads
16
are respectively joined at annular outer edges of the inner sides of the pair of rims
11
. The pair of sponges
17
are respectively joined with the pair of pads
16
. However, when the above swimming glasses are worn, water will penetrate into the swimming glasses because the pair of sponges
17
can absorb water.
Therefore, the above swimming glasses have inconvenience and drawbacks in practical use. The present invention aims to resolve the above problems in the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved pad structure of swimming glasses, wherein positions of sponges and pads are interchanged to let the sponges be respectively joined with rims of the swimming glasses and grooves be annularly formed at inner edges of the pads to receive the sponges therein. When the swimming glasses are worn, the face will contact tightly with the pair of pads, hence maintaining resiliency and preventing penetration of water into the swimming glasses because of absorption of water by the sponges.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an improved pad structure comprising a frame, a pair of pads, and a pair of sponges. Grooves are annularly formed at inner edge of the pair of pads to receive the pair of sponges therein.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing, in which:
