Abstract: A display apparatus for displaying a clip-on sunglass, sunglass or other product and a method of assembling the display apparatus. In one embodiment, a closable case is removably attached to a product card, wherein the product card includes product information and an aperture for handing the display apparatus on a display case. The closable case may be closable and removably attached to the product card with a fastener, wherein one portion of the fastener is mounted to the body of the closable case, while the other portion is mounted to the body of the closable case and to a perforated portion of the product card, thus allowing the closable case to be removed from the product card and used as a case for clip-ons, sunglasses or any other product.
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.
Abstract: An apparatus for shielding a human eye of a patient while allowing the human eye contact with the air. A lens of the apparatus is fashioned to one or both of the eyes and is optically clear and optically correct in that it does not distort the patient's vision. The optically correct aspect of the lens is achieved by either polishing a mold for the lens or alternatively, by die-cutting the lens from an optically correct material. The lens may be held in place by an adjustable strap. A plurality of vents to allow the eye contact with the air are a plurality of apertures in the lens or a plurality of spaces or holes in a cushioning structure, where the cushioning structure is coupled to the perimeter of the surface of the lens facing the eye.
