| Abstract: |
A novel type of swimming goggles includes an improved means for receiving corrective lenses. The corrective lens forms the outermost face of the goggles and is easily insertable. The novel swimming goggles of this invention are inexpensive to manufacture. The lateral vision of the swimmer is improved due to the transparent sidewall construction of the goggles. A resilient gasket between the goggle socket and the face of the swimmer allows for a watertight seal therebetween.

1. An improved pair of swimming goggles for use by a swimmer including:
- a pair of plastic eye sockets, each socket including a flange base section roughly shaped to fit the contour of a swimmer's eye, a sidewall section connected to said flange base section and extending outward therefrom roughly parallel to the direction to the line of sight of said swimmer, and a transparent sidewall extension extending from said sidewall section;
- a nose strap for connecting said sockets over the bridge of the nose of said swimmer;
- a head strap for connecting said sockets one to the other around the back of the head of said swimmer, said head strap, sockets and nose strap thereby forming a continuous loop when connected together;
- a lens receiving means located in said transparent sidewall extension, said lens receiving means comprising a snap-in groove adapted to receive a corrective lens therein; and
- a transparent window connected to said sidewall section and located intermediate the base flange section and said lens receiving means.
