Abstract: The present invention relates to a tool for working with the fasteners on small equipment, particularly small screws and nuts, and most particularly those on eyeglasses, watches, clocks, microscopes, telescopes, electronic devices and other items.

Abstract: An eyeglass screwdriver has a generally cylindrically shaped body having a first end and a second end with a driver head attached to the first end of the body for screwing in and out screws. A swivelable and rotateable head at the second end allows pressure to be transmitted to the body and driver head. The swivelable and rotateable head includes a ball, a retainer, and a cap to affix the head to the body. The preferred embodiment has the cylindrical body with a bore on axis to the body and a bore perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical body located so that it intersects the bore on axis of the cylindrical body and further includes a spherical depression on the opposite end of the cylindrical body. There is also a magnet located in the bore to help hold the driver head.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing broken connecting mechanisms imbedded in eyeglass frames has a platform to transversely hold the eyeglass frame secure and proximal to the broken connecting mechanism, a means for transversely moving a pin coaxially with the broken connecting mechanism, and a means for receiving the pin and broken connecting mechanism.An embodiment has a cylinder, a piston to fit in the cylinder, a lever to communicate with the piston, a post or die to communicate with the piston, a post or die to communicate with the embodiment, a handle that communicates with the lever, a handle that communicates with the embodiment, whereby the lever and the handle provide for lowering the force required.

Abstract: An eyeglass heater includes a fan motor, heater coils, and feedback circuitry for controlling the fan motor and heater coils. A heat conductive housing encloses all components and provides opposed air outlets for directing the heated air upon the work piece (eyeglass frames).

Abstract: Apparatuses, and methods for their production and use, with which the visual effects of optical lenses can be accurately and credibly simulated. The invention permits the simulation of the visual effects of specialized eyeglass lenses, such as polarized, tinted, or photoreactive lenses. The user confidently can compare, contrast, and evaluate an assortment of specialized eyeglass lenses potentially meeting the user's need and wants, as well as compare and contrast the use and non-use of specialized eyeglass lenses.
