  • Publication number: 20190218018
    Abstract: A system and method for improved dispensing for protective eyewear components, including frames, lenses and assembled protective eyewear glasses, is described. A housing stores and dispenses the eyewear components through an opening. In an embodiment, the eyewear components may be detachably connected together, such as via perforations, and/or may be coiled in a roll or stacked in serpentine configuration within the housing. Also, in one embodiment, a lever or other mechanism may be coupled to the housing to provide advantageous operations of the dispenser, including assembling and/or dispensing the eyewear components. Accordingly, the system and method provides advantages in that rapid and hygienic dispensing of protective eyewear components may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20190217988
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide a dispenser-package for storing protective eyewear glasses comprising an exterior box having a top, a bottom and four sidewalls along a first length, and an interior retention mechanism for holding a plurality of protective eyewear glasses along a second length. The exterior box completely receives the interior retention mechanism and securely holds the plurality of protective eyewear glasses in place. The exterior box includes a detachable area in proximity to the bottom to allow accessing one or more of the protective eyewear glasses held in place. As a result, a more convenient and efficient way to store and distribute protective eyewear glasses encourages healthcare professionals and patients to wear them and maintain personal safety.

  • Patent number: 10098787
    Abstract: Modular eye protection may include a frame, temples, and a frame, which may comprise temples and a top bar. The modular eye protection may also include a modular headband with a forehead pad, lens, and elastic band. Both embodiments of the modular eye protection may be assembled with eye shield lenses or face shields lenses. Dispensing units may also dispense the various components of the modular eye protection. The modular nature, method of assembly, and dispensers allow for minimal physical contact with objects, mitigating contact with pathogens in areas such as surgical rooms where cleanliness is important. The modular eye protection may also be disposable to further prevent spreading of pathogens.
