GOGGLES FOR SNOWSPORTS
First Claim
1. A goggle for use in snowsports, the goggle comprising a flexible frame and a lens assembly,magnets or magnetic elements being provided on upper and lower edges of an inner surface of the lens assembly and magnets or magnetic elements being provided in corresponding positions on an outer surface of the frame, for releasably holding the lens assembly in the frame,and at least two releasable clips being provided on the frame, the clips being movable between a released position and an engaged position, the clips in the engaged position overlying a portion of the lens assembly and each clip including at least one retaining member which in use passes into an aperture at least part way through the lens assembly, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the lens assembly, for preventing or limiting movement of the lens assembly in a direction away from the lateral side of the frame.

15. A goggle for use in snowsports, the goggle comprising a flexible frame and a lens assembly,
magnets or magnetic elements being provided on upper and lower edges of an inner surface of the lens assembly and magnets or magnetic elements being provided in corresponding positions on an outer surface of the frame, for releasably holding the lens assembly in the frame, the lens assembly including a lens frame, an outer lens bonded to an outward surface of the lens frame, and an inner lens bonded to an inward surface of the lens frame, and at least one venting aperture provided on the upper edge of the lens assembly for allowing air to pass through the lens assembly, the venting aperture passing through the outer lens and the lens frame, and the inner lens being bonded to the lens frame with the upper edge of the inner lens positioned on the lens frame below the venting aperture.

18. A goggle for use in snowsports, the goggle comprising a flexible frame and a lens assembly,
magnets or magnetic elements being provided on upper and lower edges of an inner surface of the lens assembly and magnets or magnetic elements being provided in corresponding positions on an outer surface of the frame, for releasably holding the lens assembly in the frame, and at least two releasable clips being provided on the frame, the clips being movable between a released position and an engaged position, the clips in the engaged position overlying a portion of the lens assembly and each clip including at least one retaining member which in use passes into an aperture at least part way through the lens assembly, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the lens assembly, for preventing or limiting movement of the lens assembly in a direction away from the lateral side of the frame, in which the retaining member is in the form of a tang having a proximal end attached to the body of the clip and a distal end including a resilient detent for passing over an edge of the aperture in the lens assembly and gripping against the lens assembly from a back side of the aperture, and in which the lens assembly includes a lens frame, an outer lens bonded to an outward surface of the lens frame, and an inner lens bonded to an inward surface of the lens frame, and at least one venting aperture provided on the upper edge of the lens assembly for allowing air to pass through the lens assembly, the venting aperture passing through the outer lens and the lens frame, and the inner lens being bonded to the lens frame with the upper edge of the inner lens positioned on the lens frame below the venting aperture.
