Abstract: |
A goggle frame includes air vents spaced along its periphery and covered with a fibrous lining to vent the goggle interior while preventing entry of foreign matter. A detachable partial-face shield has snap-in posts which mate with apertures spaced along a bottom rim of the goggle frame. When the shield is attached to the rim, a shield nose section rests on a nose bridge of the frame, and shield side sections curve behind adjacent air vents in the frame to force frontal air therethrough. A main lens has locking projections received in a peripheral groove around the frame. One or more auxiliary lenses have edge regions received in the same peripheral groove, each auxiliary lens having an offset tab to allow a wearer to detach the auxiliary lens while the goggle is being worn.

1. A goggle comprising:
- a detachable main lens having a peripheral edge surface;
- a disposable tear-off lens having a peripheral edge surface and an extending tab;
- a flexible frame having means for detachably mounting the edge surface of the main lens to allow release of the main lens by manipulation of the flexible frame, the flexible frame including a peripheral groove extending around the periphery of the frame with at least portions of the edge surface of the disposable tear-off lens extending into the peripheral groove to form a detachable seal therewith,
- the tab of the disposable tear-off lens extending beyond the frame when the edge surface of the disposable tear-off lens is engaged in the peripheral groove to allow a wearer to grasp the tab and yank outwardly to disengage the seal and release the disposable tear-off lens from the flexible frame without releasing the detachable main lens while the goggle is being worn.
