Abstract

A pair of swim goggles with nested type head band fastening structure is disclosed. It comprises: (a) a head band; (b) two goggles, each of the goggles being provided at an outer front corner with a recess which has a long slot formed at a rear wall thereof; (c) two fastening means; each of the fastening means being provided at a front surface with a vertically extending central bar, and the fastening means having a contour which permits the fastening means to nest in the recess of the goggle. The front surface of the fastening means is substantially flush with the outer surface of the goggle so as to provide the swim goggle with an integrated and smooth appearance. In a preferred embodiment, the head band has two free ends which respectively pass through the long slots of the recesses on the goggles, return about the central bars of the fastening means, and then pass through the long slots of the recesses again so as to be fixed thereto. The fastening means and the recesses are dimensioned such that the fastening means can be removably pressed into the recesses, so as to cause the fastening means to be firmly nested inside the recesses, respectively.
