Goggle breathing system
View Patent ↗Provided is a goggle kit including a goggle clip attachable to the goggle frame, and a corresponding nose element, which adheres to the user's nose. The nose element and the goggle clip are configured to be detachably engageable therewith, such that when the nose element is placed on the user's nose and the goggle is placed over the user's eyes, the goggle clip and nose element may be engaged with each other, thereby urging the nasal opening of the user to dilate.
1. An eyewear system adapted to open a nasal passage of a user having a nose defining the nasal passage, the eyewear system comprising:
a wearable frame having a bridge section configured to be placeable adjacent the nose of the user;
a liner coupled to the wearable frame and configured to interface with the user when the wearable frame is placed on the user, the liner being formed from a compressible material;
a clip configured to be selectively attachable to the wearable frame and adapted to compress the liner when attached to the wearable frame; and
a nasal attachment member configured to be selectively placeable on the nose of the user adjacent the nasal passage;
the clip being configured to urge the nasal attachment member toward the wearable frame to cause the nasal passage of the user to open in response to placement of the wearable frame adjacent the nose of the user.
2. The system recited in claim 1 , further comprising a peripheral barrier member coupled to the clip and configured to interface with the user to mitigate passage of particulate between the wearable frame and the user when the clip is attached to the wearable frame and the wearable frame is placed adjacent the nose of the user.
3. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the clip includes a first clip member and a second clip member pivotally coupled to the first clip member.
4. The system recited in claim 3 , wherein the first clip member is pivotable relative to the second clip member between an open position and a closed position, an angle between the first and second clip members decreasing as the first and second clip members pivot from the open position toward the closed position.
5. The system recited in claim 4 , wherein the first and second clip members are configured to become locked when the first and second slip members are in the closed position.
6. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the nasal attachment member is configured to be magnetically urged toward the clip.
7. The system recited in claim 1 , further comprising a magnet coupled to the clip and a ferrous body coupled to the nasal attachment member and magnetically attractable to the magnet.
8. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the nasal attachment member includes a nasal strip configured to extend between both nostrils of the user.
9. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the nasal attachment member includes a pair of nasal elements disposable adjacent respective ones of the nostrils of the user.
10. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the wearable frame is a goggle frame adapted to engage with a goggle lens.
11. An eyewear system adapted to open a nasal passage of a user having a nose defining the nasal passage, the eyewear system comprising:
a wearable frame configured to be placeable adjacent the nose of the user; and
a nasal attachment member configured to be selectively placeable on the nose of the user adjacent the nasal passage and separate from the wearable frame, the nasal attachment member being configured to be adhered to the nose of the user when placed thereon;
the nasal attachment member being adapted to be magnetically urged toward the wearable frame in response to placement of the wearable frame adjacent the nose of the user to cause the nasal passage of the user to open.
12. The eyewear system recited in claim 11 , wherein the nasal attachment member includes an adhesive layer and a ferrous element coupled to the adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being disposable on nose of the user.
13. The eyewear system recited in claim 12 , wherein the nasal attachment member includes an arcuate surface adapted to interface with a magnet.
14. The eyewear system recited in claim 12 , further comprising a peel-off liner covering the adhesive layer, the peel-off liner being selectively removable from the adhesive layer to expose the adhesive layer before placement on the nose of the user.
15. The eyewear system recited in claim 11 , wherein the wearable frame is a goggle frame.
16. An eyewear system adapted to open a nasal passage of a user having a nose defining the nasal passage, the eyewear system comprising:
an eyewear frame configured to be placeable over eyes of the user; and
a nasal attachment member configured to be selectively placeable on the nose of the user separate from the eyewear frame;
the nasal attachment member being adapted to be magnetically urged toward the eyewear frame in response to placement of the wearable frame adjacent the nose of the user to cause the nasal passage of the user to open;
the nasal attachment member being adapted to reside on the nose of the user prior to placement of the eyewear frame over the eyes of the user.
17. The eyewear system recited in claim 16 , wherein the nasal attachment member includes an adhesive layer and a ferrous element coupled to the adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being disposable on nose of the user.
18. The eyewear system recited in claim 17 , wherein the nasal attachment member includes an arcuate surface adapted to interface with a magnet.
19. The eyewear system recited in claim 17 , further comprising a peel-off liner covering the adhesive layer, the peel-off liner being selectively removable from the adhesive layer to expose the adhesive layer before placement on the nose of the user.
20. The eyewear system recited in claim 16 , wherein the wearable frame is a goggle frame.
