Abstract:
A bridge structure for glasses and nose pad thereof is disclosed. The bridge structure for glasses includes a connecting portion and two nose pads. The connecting portion has a joint hole and a clipping portion. Each of the two nose pads has an anti-sliding structure, a ventilating notch, and a plurality of rib-shaped members. The joint hole and the clipping portion are used to fix the bridge structure on the glasses. The anti-sliding structure prevents the glasses from sliding off the wearer's nose due to sweat. The ventilating notch helps dissipate heat and evaporate sweat. The rib-shaped members gently contact the user's nose and increase comfort during wear.
Abstract:
An eyewear assembly includes an outer first frame, at least one outer first lens, an inner second frame, and at least one inner second lens. The assembly includes a mechanism for holding the first frame and first lens in front of a user's face. The second frame has a mechanism for attachment to the first frame, to hold the second frame between the user's eyes and the first lens. The at least one second lens is carried by the second frame. The second frame includes a first frame portion that mounts the second lens and a second frame portion overmolded onto the first frame portion defining portions of the outside surface area of the second frame. The first frame portion is of a relatively hard material and the second frame portion is of a relatively soft material. A shock-absorbing pad can be fit between the first and second frames.
Abstract:
Air-deflection attachment for an item of protective gear worn on the head of a wearer. The attachment includes a deflector portion of unitary substantially air-impermeable flexible construction for location alongside the face and forwardly from an ear of the wearer, and an attachment portion attached to the deflector portion for releasably attaching the attachment to the item of protective gear. The deflector portion is generally in the form of a vertically elongated aerofoil, for deflecting flow of air past the head of the wearer arising from movement of the wearer in a direction in which the wearer is facing, away from the wearer's outer ear canal opening.
Abstract:
A brow bar and lens assembly for eyeglasses is provided wherein a flexible brow bar member is attached to a lens assembly only along a central region. By attaching the lens and brow bar in this manner, the brow bar is allowed to flex relative to the lens thereby providing additional means for adjusting the width of the eyeglasses and increasing the comfort for the wearer. Further, the lens construction may include channels along its top edge thereby creating voids that provide a space into which the two ends of the brow bar can travel when deflected relative to the central region.
Abstract:
A goggles structure reduces its overall weight and rigidity to improve the comfort of wearing, which provides better ventilation and prevents its wearing without a lens. The goggles comprise a goggles frame including a frame and a connecting section, a lens, a pair of head strap connecting means, and a head strap. At least one hanging hook is protruded from the top of the frame. A plurality of hanging holes corresponding to the hanging hooks is disposed at the top and bottom of the lens for fixing the lens onto the frame. The head strap latches the head strap connecting means onto both sides of the lens for preventing the lens from falling out accidentally. When the goggles are not used, the latching force disappears and allows its removal for cleaning. A ventilation structure disposed inside the lens is provided to prevent splattering.
Abstract:
Disclosed is eyewear that may have a half-jacket frame and a removable dust shield for preventing direct impingement of dust upon a wearer's eye. The eyewear may have a titanium frame and removable lenses free of any attachment structure. The frame may have a lens-retaining ridge with a thin cross section. A nosepad on the frame may carry a shield retainer for releasably affixing a shield to the frame. The nosepad and the half-jacket frame front may be cast together in one piece out of titanium or titanium alloy. An anti-slip nosepad cover may partially cover the nosepad and leave the shield retainer exposed. A removable shield may have a lower lens groove that circumferentially mates with an upper lens groove of an orbital of a half-jacket frame, thereby circumferentially completing the lens groove when the shield is in place. A rigid temple may carry a slip resistor for contacting the wearer's skin. The eyewear may have a vent to reduce fogging of the lenses and the shield may be air-permeable.
Abstract:
A treatment for dry eye syndrome. An at least partially sealed chamber including a reservoir for moisture for surrounding the eyes is disclosed. The invention may be transparent for use during the day or in association with prescription or non-prescription lenses. The moisture chamber may also be opaque to act as a blackout mask for sleeping.
Abstract:
Lens structures are disclosed. The lens structures include a first lens spaced apart from a second lens and a spacer disposed therebetween comprising an extruded adhesive. Goggles utilizing the lens structures are disclosed. Methods of forming lens structures and goggles are also disclosed. The methods of forming the lens structures include providing a first lens, selectively applying adhesive to a surface of the first lens, contacting the adhesive applied to the first lens with a second lens to form a lens structure, and at least partially curing the adhesive. Lens structures so formed may be attached to a goggle frame. Programmable machines for implementing such inventive methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Convertible eyewear permits ready conversion between various optical modes. A removable shield is removable secured by magnetic force to a frame by the interaction of at least one magnetic rivet recessed within the frame and at least one magnetic rivet that protrudes from the shield. The mating magnetic rivets may have contacting surfaces of oval shape with the rivet recessed within an oval-shaped channel to prevent misalignment of frame and shield with a single point of magnetic contact. A prescription lens insert and a goggle adapter, each having a protruding magnetic rivet, are compatible for magnetic fixation to the frame of the eyewear.
Abstract:
The invention provides light-blocking air vents for eyewear. A frame for the eyewear has a brow web that extends approximately horizontally from a top portion of the frame. The brow web includes at least one ventilation aperture having a internal side that is substantially sloped with respect to a top surface of the brow web. One or more lenses are mounted to the frame. Air is allowed to pass through the aperture. However, by providing that the internal side of the aperture is substantially sloped, light is blocked from entering through the aperture. The brow web may include a plurality of ventilation apertures for each of two lenses mounted to the frame. The apertures for each lens are arranged substantially equally-spaced in a row. A lower web may also be provided that includes one or more ventilation apertures. Side lenses may also be provided along with apertures for ventilating the side lenses.
