Patent number: 7314277Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Gazelle CorporationInventor: Titan Lin
