  • Patent number: 11852903
    Abstract: Eyeglasses include a front frame with a lens-holding rim having an upper rim portion and a lower rim portion which extend to surround the profile of a lens and have respective free ends facing each other in an opening area of the rim, an endpiece coupled rotatably to the lower rim portion about a first pivot axis and coupled rotatably to the upper rim portion about a second pivot axis, the first and second pivot axes being parallel to each other and the first pivot axis being laterally spaced from the second pivot axis on the side facing the rod, the endpiece being configured to rotate about the pivot axes between a closed and an open position of the rim, the endpiece and the upper rim portion cooperating mutually with each other in the closed position to hold the upper and lower rim portions therebetween.

  • 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: 11490701
    Abstract: A glasses case having a reducible size is described, having an inner frame including a filiform element made of resiliently flexible material. The element has a closed profile and is folded to assume a first, saddle-shaped configuration in which two portions of the element are formed that extend laterally from opposite sides with respect to a top zone of the element, and a case body, which holds the frame in the operative configuration, the body is connected to the frame along its profile and extends to delimit the inner volume of the case. The case has a second, non-operative configuration having a smaller size by a first relative torsional fold of the frame portions, thus forming a substantially eight-shaped configuration, followed by a second fold that brings the frame portions together such that they lie one on top of the other until a flattened shape of the case is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20220317473
    Abstract: Interchangeable single-lens glasses include a mount with a front lens-holding frame having a bar extended at supraciliary arches between opposed lateral ends of the frame, and means for removable retention on the bar a single-lens structure extending frontally between the ends. The means for retaining the lens structure on the bar include, at each of the lateral ends, at least a respective first magnet or ferromagnetic material element provided on the frame and a second magnet or ferromagnetic material element provided on the lens in a corresponding position, to cooperate in reciprocal magnetic attraction with the corresponding first element, and, at a central portion of the bar, proximate to a nasal rest area of the mount, a relief protruding frontally from the bar and an opening passing through the lens in a corresponding position, the relief being configured to engage the opening with relative reciprocal locking.

  • Patent number: 11428957
    Abstract: A pair of spectacles includes a front assembly mount and a pair of arms which extend from respective opposing lateral lugs of the front mount, there being defined on each arm an internal lateral flank, which is directed towards the head with the spectacles being worn, and an opposing external lateral flank. The pair of spectacles also includes on at least one of the arms a respective support element, secured to the external flank of the arm in the region of a portion of the arm near a respective lug for articulation to the mount and which extends in the direction of longitudinal development of the arm behind the external flank and with a spacing from the external flank of the arm, the support carrying a surface, which is visible from the outer side with the spectacles being worn, configured to be decorated or to support decorative patterns.
