  • Patent number: 9599839
    Abstract: Eyeglasses with rotationally secured circular lenses, lens rigs, and methods of use are provided herein. A pair of eyeglasses may include a circular first lens and a circular second lens, each having a lens peripheral surface. At least one of said first lens and said second lens has a line of astigmatism with a prescribed rotational position relative to a wearer eye. The glasses also have a frame having a circular first frame opening into which the first lens is mounted and a circular second frame opening into which the second lens is mounted, each frame opening having an inward frame opening peripheral surface. A lens rotational securing means for securing each of the lenses against rotation relative to said frame, such that the line of astigmatism is prevented from moving out of its prescribed rotational position within its frame opening.

  • Patent number: 7452070
    Abstract: A single lens pince-nez, comprising a bridge member (11) adapted to extend over the bridge of the nose of a person and engage the sides of the bridge of the nose, and a single lens (10) attached to the bridge member (11) in a position located in front of one eye of the person when the person wears the pince-nez, is very suitable for use as make-up “glasses”, since it does not obstruct the applying of make-up on one side of the face of the wearer of the “glasses”, and is comfortable to wear thanks to its low weight. By selecting a high refractive index glass for the lens (10) and a beta titanium alloy for the bridge member (11), the weight can by reduced even more. Preferably, the single lens (10) is pivotally attached to the bridge member (11), so that it can be swung vertically or horizontally from one eye to the other.

  • Patent number: 7117990
    Abstract: A credit card modularized set having a flexible stow envelope for receiving a companion nose-clasping type reading glasses, with a length and width approximately that of a conventional credit card; wherein as the set is stacked within a group of conventional credit cards, no portion of the set is substantially protrusive nor recessive of the stacked group. The reading glasses component has a special beam bridge portion having a square cross-sectional shape thereby affording maximum torsional resistance for its diminutive size plus a laterally tapering cross section evenly distributing any imposed bending loads. The modularized set has a minimal thickness enabling its user to slip the set conveniently within the user's wallet modularly among the user's credit cards for ready availability.

  • Publication number: 20010030733
    Abstract: This invention is a completely mechanical method of constructing eyewear, without brazing. An eyewear frame is formed by a continuous, bent, spring wire. Sidepiece 47 is fixedly attached to frame endpiece parts 30 and 31 by mating a bent portion of each within compression spring 40. The Vertically tall, transversely thin sidepieces can support with scant lateral pressure to a wearer's head, and can close can close against the frame without hinges. The length of a spring over the endpiece confines lense 56 in upper and lower portions of a frame's eyewire. Lense 55 has been removed by laterally compressing spring 40 around the folded-over endpiece parts and letting the ends of the endpiece parts spread vertically apart.
