Abstract

A method for fabricating a frameless diving includes the following steps. First, providing a lens; next, coating an adhesive on an edge of the lens; then, forming a first flexible layer made of a silica gel on the edge of the lens; thereafter, forming a second flexible layer made of another silica gel on the first flexible layer. The first flexible layer has a plurality of protrusions and may enables the lens covered with the first flexible layer to be spaced apart from a high-temperature mold for a proper distance, so as to prevent the first flexible layer from falling off from the lens due to the high temperature when molding the silica gel. The protrusions are exposed out of the second flexible layer, so as to vary the design and shape of the frameless diving mask abundantly.

Claims (16)

1. A frameless diving mask, comprising:

at least one lens;

an adhesive, coated on an edge of the lens;

a first flexible layer, covering the edge of the lens and adhered to the edge of the lens by the adhesive, wherein the thickness of the first flexible layer is greater than that of the lens; and

a second flexible layer, molded on the first flexible layer, wherein the second flexible layer extends toward one side of the lens to form a facial mask part;

wherein the first flexible layer is located between the lens and the second flexible layer, the first flexible layer has a plurality of protrusions, the protrusions pass through the second flexible layer, and the protrusions are exposed out of the second flexible layer at least in a top portion of the second flexible layer.

2. The frameless diving mask of claim 1 , wherein the color of the second flexible layer is different from that of the first flexible layer.

3. The frameless diving mask of claim 1 , wherein the second flexible layer is transparent or opaque.

4. A frameless diving mask, comprising:

two lens;

an adhesive, coated on edges of the lenses;

a first flexible layer, covering the edges of the lenses and adhered to the edges of the lenses by the adhesive, wherein the thickness of the first flexible layer is greater than that of the lenses; and

a second flexible layer, molded on the first flexible layer, wherein the second flexible layer extends toward one side of the lenses to form a facial mask part; and

a lens holder mounted between the lenses;

wherein the first flexible layer is located between the lenses and the second flexible layer, the first flexible layer has a plurality of protrusions, the protrusions pass through the second flexible layer, and the protrusions are exposed out of the second flexible layer at least in a top portion of the second flexible layer.

5. The frameless diving mask of claim 4 , wherein the adhesive is coated on the edges of the lenses and the lens holder, wherein the first flexible layer covers the edges of the lenses and the lens holder and is adhered to the edges of the lenses and the lens holder by the adhesive.
