MAKEUP-PRESERVING STYLISH EYEWEAR

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present general inventive concept relates generally to eyewear, and specifically, to goggles that are stylish and facilitate preservation of a user's eye makeup while the user is bathing.

2. Description of the Related Art

For some, it can take hours to do their makeup to their satisfaction, and the eyes are often the most delicate, intricate compositions for the canvas that is the face. However, perhaps the consumer has a big event but is running late and forgets to shower after putting on makeup. Surely the consumer did not intend to have gone to all that trouble to make herself up beautifully, only to wash off all of their hard work.

Therefore, there is a need for a device that prevents makeup from getting washed off a user's eyes while the user is showering and/or bathing.

SUMMARY

The present general inventive concept provides goggles that are stylish and facilitate preservation of a user's eye makeup while the user is bathing.

Additional features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept.

The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing Goggles, including an eye protector having at least a portion to contact a user's face, a strap connected to left and right sides of the eye protector to prevent the goggles from falling off the user's face, and goggle frames disposed at a front portion of the eye protector.

The eye protector may include a watertight portion to provide a watertight seal on the user's face such that water cannot moisten eyes of the user, and lens portions to allow the user to see through the eye protector.

The goggle frames may provide a frame around the lens portions.

The goggles may further include a strap adjuster disposed at the left and right sides of the eye protector to adjust a length of the strap.

The goggle frames may include a design of at least one of cat-like frames, Audrey Hepburn frames, wayfarer frames, and aviator frames.

The goggle frames may be detachable from the front portion of the eye protector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Various example embodiments (a.k.a., exemplary embodiments) will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings in which some example embodiments are illustrated. In the figures, the thicknesses of lines, layers and/or regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

Accordingly, while example embodiments are capable of various modifications and alternative forms, embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the figures and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit example embodiments to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, example embodiments are to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure. Like numbers refer to like/similar elements throughout the detailed description.

It is understood that when an element is referred to as being “connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.).

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of example embodiments. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art. However, should the present disclosure give a specific meaning to a term deviating from a meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill, this meaning is to be taken into account in the specific context this definition is given herein.

FIG. 1 illustrates a top angled view of goggles 100, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.

The goggles 100, and all components therein, may be made from at least one of metal, glass, plastic, rubber, cloth, and ceramic, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 1, the goggles 100 may include an eye protector 110, a strap 120, a strap adjuster 130, and goggle frames 140.

The eye protector 110 may include a watertight portion 111 and lens portions 112.

The watertight portion 111 may be made of soft malleable plastic, and may be designed with a cutout portion for a user's nose, such that the watertight portion 111 may be properly placed against a user's face, thus creating a watertight seal.

The lens portions 112 may be made from harder and clear plastic and/or glass, and may either be non vision enhancing lenses, or alternatively, may be vision enhancing lenses.

When the user is wearing the goggles 100, the watertight portion 111 of the eye protector 110 presses against the user's forehead and cheeks to create the watertight seal, and the user may see through the lens portions 112. Accordingly, the user may shower with the goggles 100, and prevent eye makeup from getting ruined by cascading water.

In other to maintain the watertight seal, the strap 120 may be included with the goggles 100, in order to provide a compressive force for the watertight portion 111. More specifically, the strap 120 may be attached to left and right sides of the eye protector 110, such that it may wrap around the user's head when the user is wearing the goggles 100. As such, the strap 120 prevents the goggles 100 from falling off the user's face.

The strap adjuster 130 may be provided in plurality, and may be located on left and right sides of the eye protector 110. The strap 120 may be adjusted to have different lengths using the strap adjuster 130. As such, the user may adjust the length of the strap 120 to fit users of various head sizes.

The goggle frames 140 may be disposed at a front portion of the eye protector 110, specifically, to frame the lens portions 112. The goggle frames 140 may be detachable and interchangeable, and may be provided to have various different colors, designs, shapes, and decorations. For example, the goggle frames 140 may be cat-like frames, Audrey Hepburn frames, wayfarer frames, aviator frames, etc., but are not limited thereto. Also, the goggle frames 140 may have glitter, sparkles, or various other types of decorations thereupon.

The goggle frames 140 may be detachable from the front portion of the eye protector 110, and may be reattached to the front portion of the eye protector 110 using small suction cups disposed at a rear portion of the goggle frames 140, or alternatively, using an adhesive known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Alternatively, the front portion of the eye protector 110 may be constructed from malleable material that may deform to allow the goggle frames 140 to be attached thereto.

Accordingly, the goggle frames 140 add an aesthetic and personalized look for users who want to be stylish in public showers, for example, or just simply want to have fun in the bathroom. As such, the goggles 100 are not only useful for protecting the user's makeup from getting wet, but also stylish and fun.

Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
