Publication number: 20040017540Abstract: A pair of eyeglasses which resist fogging are disclosed. The glasses may be a rimless design or a fully framed design. In each case, the glasses have a right upper lens rim and a left upper lens rim. Left and right lenses, each having front and occular sides, are supported by left and right upper lens rims, respectively. A bridge interconnects the right upper lens rim with the left upper lens rim. Each lens rim defines a plurality of apertures, displaced 70-90° from a horizontal viewing angle passing through the approximate center of the lens, to allow passage of air at the occular surface of the lens to limit fogging. In some embodiments, the temple arms are provided with enhanced gripping distal portions. The left and right temples, each extending from an outboard side of respective lens rims, terminate in a distal portion having a subtle S-shape for engaging the mastoid of the wearer. Preferred embodiments are useful as sport-glasses, with or without corrective and/or colored lenses.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2002Publication date: January 29, 2004Applicant: Native Eyewear, Inc.Inventor: Pasquale Matera

Patent number: 5551132Abstract: A shaft, having a slot formed therein offset from the shaft axis, receives the terminal end of a limb within the slot. The limb end has a pointed termination, and a bight. The slot has an arcuately formed portion, in which to nest the bight, and a depression in which to receive the pointed termination. More, the shaft has threading formed thereon, adjacent the slot, with the slot traversing the threads and a shaft-end head. An internally-threaded sleeve is slidably engaged with the shaft, and overlies the slot-nested end of the limb, and threadedly fastens onto the shaft threads, to prevent the limb from removing from the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1995Date of Patent: September 3, 1996Assignee: Milton L.
