Definitions

  • the invention relates to attachment device for arranging a pair of supplementary lenses onto an eyeglass frame.
  • Such supplementary lenses being for example sunshades removably arranged onto any kind of traditional eyeglass frames.
  • the invention is primarily concerned with providing removable sun protection for attachment to any eyeglass frame.
  • the glaring rays of incoming sunlight are often extremely distracting and may be painful to some people.
  • individuals generally resort to sunglasses with colored or tinted protective lenses, or attachments for eyeglasses which have the same protective colored or tinted lenses.
  • sunglasses or traditional eyeglass attachments with protective lenses are often expensive and may require specific adjustments/amendments of the individual eyeglass frame structure.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,056,906 discloses a prescription lens attachment for sunglasses.
  • the invention allows sunglasses to be retrofitted to accept lenses that are smaller than the lenses of the sunglasses.
  • Appropriately shaped wires are secured to the frame and the lenses are then held by the wires.
  • the invention proposed differs form the above ,906 patent, primarily in that the structure rests on the nose pad structure of the eyeglasses, wherein the ,906 patent describes wire structure to fit prescription lenses to sun-glass frame.
  • the wire structure is individually fitted to the particular frame/lenses.
  • none of the lenses in the referred patens are attached to the nose pad structure of the eyeglasses. Instead, the lenses in all of the patents are fitted onto the frame of the eyeglasses and far from being easily removable.
  • This objective is achieved by providing an attachment device that is unique in the way that it comprises an opposite arranged fastening means for connecting said pair of lenses thereto,
  • adjustable bridge member supports said engagement members for allowing displacement of said engagement members with respect to said mid section structure of said eyglass frame during connection and disconnection of the device.
  • Figure 1 shows the attachment device with pair of supplementary lenses
  • Figure 2 shows the attachment device being arranged onto aneyeglass frame
  • Figure 2a shows in further details attachment of the device to the nose pad structure of the eyeglass frame
  • Figures 3 - 6 show different configuration of the lens holder / attachment device
  • Figures 7 and 7a show length adjustments to the lens holder / attachment device
  • Figures 8 - 10 show varying configuration of the attachment/coupling devices
  • Figures 11 - 16a show varying fastening of the lenses to the lens holder
  • Figures 17 - 18 show one embodiment particular variation of the attachment device, and its arrangement onto eyeglass frame
  • Figures 19 - 20 show different view of fig. 17 - 18,
  • Figures 21 - 24 show yet another embodiment of the lens holder/attachment device
  • Figures 25 - 27 show further one embodiment of an adjustable length of the engagement member, 5031
  • Figure 28 - 31 show two modifications of the device and its arrangement onto an eyeglass frame
  • Figures 32 - 39 show a selection of lens design
  • Figures 40 - 43 show in further detail variation of the engagement member and the attachment of the lenses thereto and its arrangement onto eyeglass frame.
  • a pair of supplementary lenses (3) are connected together by a lens holder (1).
  • the lens holder (1) comprises a pair of opposite arranged engagement members (2) for interaction (coupling) with the mid structure (6) of the spectacle frame (4).
  • the lens holder (1) further comprise fastening means (9) for attaching the lenses (3) thereto.
  • a bridge structure (8) is arranged in between the engagement members (2) .
  • the bridge structure (8) is at least partly elastic and/or arc formed and made of such elastic character material allowing at least partial displacement of the engagement members (2) for bringing those in and out of connection, for example with the nose pad structure (25), in particular the nose pad arms (11) of the eyeglass frame (4).
  • Figure 3 - 6 show different configuration of the lens holder / attachment device (2).
  • the holder is preferably made of stiff spring material forming an arc or similar structure in between the engagement members (2).
  • fastening means (9) is arranged for forming connection to the lenses (not shown).
  • the bridge structure (8) is of varying configuration in which can have both functional and/or esthetic purpose.
  • Figure 7 and 7a show length adjustments of the lens holder (1) wherein the length of the bridge structure (8) in between the engagement members (2) as well as the leg section (14) in between the engagement members (2) and the end fastening means (9) can be adjusted.
  • Figure 8 - 10 show different configuration of the engagement member (2a, 2b, 2c).
  • the lens holder structure (1) is as shown on fig. 8 and 9 formed of bendable wire construction and the engagement members covered with material such as rubber or plastic for allowing smother connection for example the nose pad arms (11) of the eyeglass frame (4).
  • fig. 10 a specifically manufactured engagement member with assembly for the bridge structure (8) and the leg structure (14) is introduced. By providing such a configuration bendings are minimized.
  • Figure 11 shows fully adjustable attachment device (1) with lenses (3) attached thereto.
  • the bridge structure (8) and leg structure (14) are both length adjustable.
  • Figure 12 - 16a show different arrangement of fastening means (9) for fastening the lenses (3) to the lens holder.
  • Figure 17 - 20 show a further embodiment of the lens holder (1) wherein a pair of spiral formed springs (15) are arranged to allow adjustments of the position of the engagement members (25), herein formed as pads (22) resting on the outer side of the nose pad structure of the mid section of the eyeglass frame (4).
  • Figure 21 - 24 show yet another embodiment of the lens holder (1) and the engagement members.
  • yet another embodiment of the engagement member (21) is introduced, where it is locked to the bridge structure (8) of the eyeglass frame (4).
  • Figure 25 - 27 show further additional embodiments of the lens holder (1 ) and engagement member (24) where the distance between the engagement members (24) is adjustable by a pall mechanism (16) on the bridge structure (8).
  • Figure 28 - 31 show two additional embodiments of the lens holder (1) and the engagement member (23).
  • the engagement member (23) (fig. 28 and 29) rest on the nose pad structure (25), but is not fastened thereto.
  • Figure 32 - 39 show a small selection of possible designs of the lenses, such as sunglass lenses to be arranged to give the person wearing them a particular appearance.
  • Figure 40 - 43 show further one embodiment of the engagement member (2) where the wire or frame forming the lens holder is bent forward and to the inside instead of down as shown in many of the previous figures.
  • lenses referred to on the figures as number 3 are shown mainly as additional lenses such as sunglass lenses, the opposite is of course quite easily achievable, e.g. by arranging a pair of prescription lenses or special purpose lenses onto sunglasses or for that matter any possible combination.
