  • Patent number: 11675218
    Abstract: A pair of spectacles having bio-sensors for detecting signals in contact with a user's head includes a front frame for lenses and a nose support device which is provided on the frame, the nose support device includes a mount made of an electrically non-conductive material and which can be removably connected to the frame, the mount having first and second nose support elements thereon, and which incorporate first and second nose sensors, formed from an electrically conductive material, capable of surface contact with corresponding laterally opposite zones of the nose. Each of the nose support elements is mounted on a respective support connected to the mount by a respective screw type element of a conductive material capable of electrical contact with the support, and each screw type element is capable of electrical contact with an electric circuit in the frame, the circuit being interposed between the frame and the mount.

  • Patent number: 11226501
    Abstract: Glasses that are provided with biosensors for detecting signals and are in contact with the user's head are described, which glasses comprise a front frame (2) for supporting respective lenses (4), a pair of sides (6) articulated to the frame on laterally opposing sides, and a nasal-bearing device (8), each of the sides (6) extending in a longitudinal extension direction and comprising a side body (6a) extending into an end side portion (6b) in which a particular sensor (25) that makes contact with the head is integrated, and in which the end side portion (6b) comprises a pair of branches (26a, 26b), which extend from a common end (27), which is connected to the side body (6a), in the longitudinal extension direction of the side (6) in a manner spaced apart from one another, one (26a) of the branches being provided with an internal cavity (29) for housing a core (30) made of a conductive metal material and both the branches (26a, 26b) being made of a resiliently pliable and electrically conductive material.
