An intra-orbitally engaging pair of swim goggles is described. The goggles include two eyepieces connected by a bridge and a fastener for securing the eyepieces over the user's eyes. Each eyepiece has a planar eye-shaped lens upper and lower walls, extending backward and culminating in an inwardly sloping intra-orbital facing rim. A conformable pad is affixed to the rim for comfortably engaging an inner wall of the user's eye orbit. The upper and lower walls of each eyepiece meet along a lateral ridge extending perpendicularly backward from the lens.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 11, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 11, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 11, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
