The head strap device is mainly used to connect with the frame body to be worn on the head. The head strap device includes a head strap and an adjustment buckle for positioning and adjusting the head strap. For the head strap of swimming goggles is concerned, as shown in FIG. 1, the head strap 6 includes a first set of connecting section 60, a second set of connecting section 61 and a central section 62, wherein the first set of connecting section 60 and the second set of connecting section 61 is used to connect with a swimming goggles frame. Further refer to FIGS. 2A to 2C for better comprehension, the following instructions only introduce the first set of connecting section 60 of the head strap 6 is used to introduce the situation of threading around the frame of the swimming goggles and the adjustment buckle, in order to facilitate explanation of the following embodiment. In actual implementation, the second set of connecting section 61 of the head strap 6 is in the same way of threading. As shown in FIG. 2A, the first set of connecting section 60 of the head strap 6 passes through the through hole 80 and the notch 81 of an adjusting buckle 8, and then passes through a fixing hole 71 of the swimming goggles frame 7. Also refer to FIGS. 2B to 2C and cooperate with the FIG. 1, pass through the through hole 80 of the adjusting buckle 8 and fix it in the notch 81. Please refer back to FIG. 1 in conjunction with FIG. 3 to view the central section 62 of the head strap 6. The central section 62 of the head strap 6 is provided with an elongated opening 63 in the center, which divides the central section 62 of the head strap 6 into an upper split section 621 and a lower split section 622, The lower split section 622 provides the goggles to maintain a lateral pull on the swimmer's head while the upper split section 621 provides oblique pull, so that it can be worn to match the swimmer's head with a different head shape after wear. With the lateral pulling force of the lower split section 622 and the diagonal pull of the upper split section 621 at different angles, the swimming goggles can fit on the eye socket to avoid water leakage.
However, the first set of connecting section 60 and the second set of connecting section 61 of the head strap 6 is the main force when the swimming goggles are worn on the head strap and the head strap 6 is tightened, please refer to FIG. 3, the lower split section 622 is directly connected and pulled, the upper split section 621 is not directly connected to force which is pulled indirectly by oblique due to the back of the head is curved. Therefore, the upper split section 621 and the lower split section 622 bear the tension unevenly. The pulling force of 621 will not only cause discomfort and uncomfortable wearing, but also the upper split section 621 and the lower split section 622 can easily affect each other, so that the upper split section 621 slides along the back of the swimmer's head (as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 3), once sliding, regardless of the displacement, the oblique angle drawn by the upper split section 621 will change, and the swimming goggles originally pulled firmly on the swimmer's head will loosen, so as to cannot make the swimming goggles close to the eye sockets, resulting in water leakage.
Furthermore, the swimming goggles must be taken off first, when adjusting the length of the head strap, please refer to FIGS. 2B to 2C, and take the reverse action of FIG. 2C to FIG. 2B when adjusting, the first set of connecting section 60 of the head strap 6 is unbuckled from the notch 81 of the adjustment buckle 8 to adjust the length (the second set of connecting section 61 of the head strap 6 use the same unbuckled method). After the length is adjusted, wear it on the head. If you feel that the adjustment is not suitable, you must remove the goggles from the head again to adjust, and operate the above actions until it fits. In this way, therefore, put on and take off the swimming goggles for adjustment of the length of the head strap is very inconvenient.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Please refer to FIGS. 4A to 4C for a plan view of the first embodiment of the head strap of the head strap device of the present invention and a cross-sectional view of 4C-4C. The head strap 10 of the head strap device of the present invention has a first set of connections. The first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102 and the central section 103, wherein the first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102 are plate-shaped strips, and a shaft sleeve 1011, 1021 are provided at the end of the plate-shaped strip, used to connect with an adjustment buckle 3. The central section 103 is a curved surface, and the horizontal axis X formed by the width center of the first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102 is used as the top 1031 of the curved surface 103 (that is, the highest point of the curved surface), it is divided into an upper arc surface 1032 and a lower arc surface 1033 based on the top 1031. Each of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 have a first surface 1034 and a second surface 1035, wherein the second surface 1035 is contact with the back of the head.
Please refer to FIGS. 4D and 4E and FIGS. 4F and 4G in conjunction with FIG. 4C, wherein FIGS. 4D and 4E shows that the upper arc surface 1032 forms an extended convex surface 104 on the first surface 1034, as depicted in FIG. 4C, the extended convex surface 104 is configured to be convex in an unloaded state. The extended convex surface 104 is a continuous ribbed decoration, which can balance the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033, and balance the tensile force of the wear. In other words, the upper arc surface 1032 is on the extended convex surface 104 of the first surface 1034 and crosses the junction C of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033, and is arranged along each side of the first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102, as shown in FIG. 4D, forming a continuous extension helps increase the thickness of the upper arc surface 1032 and each of the thickness of the first set of connecting section 101 and the second set of connecting section 102, that will change the pulling tension of the upper arc surface 1032 depending on the position and number of the extended convex surface 104. When the tensile force is applied, the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 tends to be balanced, and the effect of wearing tensile force balance is achieved. In addition, FIGS. 4F and 4G show that the upper arc surface 1032 forms a plurality of drainage patterns 105 on the second surface 1035. The drainage patterns 105 have openings 1051 adjacent to the edges of the second surface 1035, so that the formation of a channel is conducive to the drainage effect when moving in the water, and can be reduced the upper arc surface 1032 sliding. Thus, it can be clearly seen that the central section 103 of the head strap 10 of the present invention is a curved surface, which naturally fits a back of the head will not slide, and there will be no risk of water leakage (please see FIG. 4H) when wearing. There is no need to wear the head strap by tilting and pulling force as is conventional.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4F and 4G, the upper arc surface 1032 forms a plurality of drainage patterns 105 on the second surface 1035. The drainage patterns 105 are used to form channels, it is beneficial to drain the oncoming water resistance from the openings 1051 of the drainage patterns 105 when moving in the water, especially at the moment of diving, and the upper arc surface 1032 is prevented from sliding due to hydroplaning during the movement in the water. (Note: The phenomenon of hydroplaning occurs when the rolling tires lose contact with the road surface and float on the water film on the water-filled road. The head strap is used as the swimming goggles in the water between the movement process and the water resistance in the water, if there is no plural drainage pattern 105 design, it is easy to cause hydroplaning between the head strap and the head due to loss of contact, and make the head strap 10 sliding so as to affect the fit between the headband and the head). In addition, please refer to FIG. 4H, which is a schematic diagram of the head strap 10 of the present invention assembled in the swimming goggles and worn on the head. As shown in the figure, it can be clearly seen that the central section 103 of the head strap 10 is designed with its curved surface, which is able to conform to the back of the head without the need to wear it by oblique pulling force as is conventionally used when worn, and the central section 103 naturally fits the back of the head without sliding, and there is no risk of water leakage. Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 4D and 4E, the upper arc surface 1032 extends on the first surface 1034 to form a continuous extension of the extended convex surface 104, which helps increase the thickness of the upper arc surface 1032 and each side of the thickness of the first set and the second set of connecting section 101 and 102. Depending on the position and number of the extended convex surfaces 104, the pulling tension of the upper arc surface 1032 can be changed, and the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032 and the lower arc surface 1033 can be balanced when the head strap 10 is under tension, so as to achieve the wearing tension balance. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4F and 4G, the upper arc surface 1032 is provided on the second surface 1035 with multiple drainage patterns 105, which can reduce the hydroplaning caused when moving in the water, and which can make the sliding of the central section 103 more reduced.
Please refer to FIGS. 5A to 5E for the second embodiment of the head strap of the head strap device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the head strap 10′ of the head strap device of this embodiment has a first set of connecting section 101′ and the second set of connecting section 102′ and central section 103′. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that an elongated opening 107 is formed between the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′ of the central section 103′, the elongated opening 107′ takes the horizontal axis X′ connected by the width center of the first set of connecting section 101′ and the second set of connecting section 102′ as the top 1031′ of the arc surface (that is, the highest part of the arc), formed between the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′, and other structures of this embodiment such as: extended convex surface 104′, drainage pattern 105′, the first set of connecting section 101′ and the second set of connecting section 102′, the end sleeves 1011′ and 1021′ are same with the first embodiment. Please refer to FIGS. 5A to 5E and 6 and 6A to 6E. The headband 10′ of the headband device of this embodiment is provided with the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′ of the central section 103′, and an extended convex surface 104′ is formed on the first surface 1034′ of the upper arc surface 1032′, can make the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′ tend to be balanced, so that the tensile force of the wear is balanced (as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B). In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, the upper arc surface 1032′ forms a plurality of drainage patterns 105′ on the second surface 1035′. The drainage patterns 105′ form a channel, which is beneficial for activities in the water (especially at the moment of diving) the oncoming water resistance is drained by the drainage patterns 105′, and the upper arc surface 1032′ is prevented from sliding due to hydroplaning during the activity in the water. In addition to the above-mentioned drainage patterns 105′ provided on the upper arc surface 1032′, in fact, they can also be provided on the second surface 1035′ of the lower arc surface 1033′, which can also provide the drainage effect when moving in the water and reduce the sliding of the lower arc surface 1033′ forms a synergistic effect with the upper arc surface 1032′.
Please continue to refer to FIG. 5E for a schematic diagram of the head strap 10′ and the swimming goggles being assembled and worn on the head. As shown in the figure, although the central section 103′ of the head strap 10′ has a elongated opening 107′ like the conventional, however, the central section 103′ is a curved surface, and the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′ also curved surfaces. Therefore, when the head strap of the swimming goggles is tightened, the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′ are designed to conform to the back of the head. It does not need to be worn by oblique pulling force as is conventional, but can naturally fit on the back of the head without sliding, and there will be no risk of water leakage. The upper arc surface 1032′ extending the extended convex surface 104′ on the first surface 1034′ as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the extended convex surface 104′ can provide the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′ tends to be balanced, so that the wearing tension is balanced. In other words, when the head strap of the swimming goggles is tightened, the arc design of the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′ can naturally fits the back of the head. Although the force is exerted on the first set of connecting sections 101′ and the second set of connecting sections 102′, but the upper arc surface 1032′ extends the extended convex surface 104′ on the first surface 1034′, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5E, the extended convex surface 104′ crossing the junction C′ of the upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc surface 1033′, and along each of the first set of connecting sections 101′ and the second set of connecting sections 102′, forming a continuous extension which can helps increase the thickness of the upper arc surface 1032′ and each of the thickness of the first set of connecting sections 101′ and the second set of connecting sections 102′, Depending on the position and number of the extension convex surfaces 104′, the pulling tension of the upper arc surface 1032′ can be changed, and the extension magnification of the upper arc surface 1032′ upper arc surface 1032′ and the lower arc 1033′ can be balanced when the head strap 10′ is under tension, so as to achieve the wearing tension balance. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, the upper arc surface 1032′ is provided on the second surface 1035′ with multiple drainage patterns 105′, which can reduce the hydroplaning caused when moving in the water, and which can make the sliding of the central section 103′ more reduced.
Please continue to refer to FIGS. 7A to 7C for the perspective view, plan view, and 7B-7B cross-sectional views of the adjustment buckle of the head strap device of the present invention. As shown in the figures, the head strap device of the present invention further includes an adjustment buckle 3. The adjusting buckle 3 includes a body 31, the body 31 is provided with an opening 32, and the side of the opening 32 is provided with a pin hole 33 for a pin 34 to be assembled; a guide post 35 is disposed away from the pin hole 33 on the opening 32, and the guide post 35 divides the opening 32 into a first through hole 321 and a second through hole 322. In addition, the body 31 on the side of the pin hole 33 is provided with a partition 36, which shields a part of the first through hole 321, and can be separated by the partition 36 when the head strap is threaded and overlapped, so as to reduce friction. Please refer to FIGS. 8A to 8C for the head strap assembly on the body 31 of the adjustment buckle 3 for the head strap adjustment. As shown in the figure, the free end 42 of the head strap 4 is passed around the guide post 35 and then passed through wrap around the through hole 51 of the lens, and pass it back to the body 31 to align the sleeve 23 (24) of the free end 41 with the pin hole 33 and fix it on the body 31 of the adjusting buckle 3 by the pin 34, then the head strap 4 and the lens frame can be connected as a whole. When the head strap 4 is worn and adjusted, there is no need to take off the swimming goggles, just push the body 31 directly in front of the swimming goggles (as shown in FIG. 8C, the arrow point to the left). At this time, although the head strap 4 is passed through the body 31, but not overlapped each other due to be separated by the partition 36, and the head strap 4 can be easily adjusted to loosen; on the contrary, the adjustable head strap 4 is tightened by pushing it toward the back of the swimming goggles (As shown in FIG. 8C, the arrow point to the right). In the above-mentioned head strap adjustment process, when there is no pushing and pulling from external force, the head strap can maintain the function of fixing the length of the head strap due to the resistance of the buckle to change the angle. To summarize the above, the adjustment buckle 3 of the present invention can provide the head strap 4 adjustment directly, without removing the swimming goggles when worn, due to the pins 34 and the guide post 35 disposed with misaligned each other, and the partition 36 separated the overlapped head strap, thus can provide convenient use effect.
It is understood that the invention may be embodied in other forms within the scope of the claims. Thus the present examples and embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative, and not restrictive, of the invention defined by the claims.
