  • Patent number: 9946090
    Abstract: A flexible foam nose cushion block attached on top of the nose area of an eyeglass frame takes stress off of the nose of the wearer of the eyeglasses. It replaces the traditional eyeglass nose supports, thereby releasing stress on the nose. The cushion sits atop the nose, as opposed to the side of the nose like ordinary eyeglass nose supports, thus distributing the weight of the eyeglasses, increasing the comfort, and eliminating the typical indentation marks left by traditional eyeglasses. The flexible nose cushion is attached to a horizontally extending supporting cross member between the two eyeglass lens frame members at or near the top of the lenses.

The fuel absorbent device has absorbent material, an opposing non skid surface, which is substantially impervious to liquid strikethrough, and a hole therethrough. Liquids, fuels, and lubricants contacting the absorbent material are typically contained within the absorbent material, and prevented from reaching adjacent surfaces by the opposing non skid surface, which is substantially impervious to liquid, fuel, and/or lubricant strikethrough. The opposing non skid surface also substantially prevents slippage of the fuel absorbent device thereon surfaces that the fuel absorbent device is removably placed thereon.
