| Abstract: |
A pair of ski goggles is disclosed which has unitary upper and lower frame members that are each configured to extend substantially between a user's temples, and each include a pair of end regions. The upper and the lower frame members collectively define an aperture into which a lens is removably received, and the goggles further includes a pair of connectors. Each connector couples a respective one of the end regions on the upper frame member to a corresponding one of the end regions on the lower frame member, and the connectors enable the upper and the lower frame members to move between a closed position, in which the lens is securely engaged between the frame members, and an open position, in which the members are displaced from each other relative to the closed position and at least one of the frame members is free from engagement with the lens, thereby enabling the lens to be selectively removed and replaced.

I claim:
1. Ski goggles, comprising:
- a unitary upper frame member configured to extend substantially between a user's temples, the upper frame member including a pair of end regions;
- a unitary lower frame member configured to extend substantially between the user's temples, the lower frame member including a pair of end regions, wherein the upper and the lower frame members collectively define an aperture into which a lens is removably received; and
- a pair of connectors, each connector coupling a respective one of the end regions on the upper frame member to a corresponding one of the end regions on the lower frame member, wherein the connectors maintain the connection between the end regions of the frame members while enabling the members to move between a closed position in which the lens is seated between the frame members, and an open position in which the members are moved at least partially apart from each other so that one of the frame members disengages the lens, thereby enabling the lens to be selectively removed and replaced.
