Moisture-resistant electronic spectacle frames

摘要

Eyewear including an optical functional member, control electronics, and a sealed electrical connective element connecting the electronics to the optical functional member. The connective element can directly connect the electronics to the optical functional member, or can connect through an intermediate contact, e.g., a plug-and-receptacle. The connective element can be routed from the electronics, around a rimlock of the eyewear to the optical functional member. The connective element can be a conductive compressible member, such as conductive rubber. In some embodiments, the connective element can be a multiconductor cable.

主权项

1. Eyewear comprising:
an optical functional member comprising a lens; an electrically-insulating gasket disposed on an edge of the lens; an electronics module comprising electronics for controlling the optical functional member; and at least one sealed electrical connective element connecting the electronics of the electronics module to the optical functional member; wherein the gasket extends around the entire circumference of the lens; wherein the gasket defines at least one aperture therethrough; wherein the electrical connective element connects to the optical functional member through the aperture; and wherein the gasket is not conductive.
