EYEGLASS SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ENGAGEMENT

摘要

An eyeglass system including primary glasses and detachably engageable auxiliary glasses. The auxiliary glasses include a first and second auxiliary lens connected together by a bridge. Each lens has an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a peripheral edge extending between the interior and exterior surfaces. An aperture is defined in each of the lenses and this aperture extends between the interior and exterior surfaces, and originates in the peripheral edge and extends for a distance into the lens. A connector is engaged in the aperture in each of the lenses and this connector detachably engages the primary glasses. Preferably, the aperture is keyhole-shaped and the connector includes a boss that is a complementary keyhole shape. The connector may be provided with a magnet that is attracted to a magnet embedded in a lens of the primary glasses.

主权项

1. An eyeglass system comprising:
a pair of auxiliary glasses adapted to be detachably engaged with a pair of primary glasses; wherein the auxiliary glasses include:
a first auxiliary lens and a second auxiliary lens; each of the first and second auxiliary lenses including an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a peripheral edge extending between the interior and exterior surfaces;an auxiliary bridge operatively connecting the first and second auxiliary lenses together;an aperture defined in each of the first and second auxiliary lenses, where the apertures extend between the interior and exterior surfaces thereof, wherein each aperture originates in the peripheral edge and extends for a distance into the respective auxiliary lens;a connector engaged in the aperture of each of the first and second auxiliary lenses; wherein the connectors are adapted to detachably engage the pair of auxiliary glasses to the pair of primary glasses; wherein each connector has a first arm and a second arm and the first and second arms are disposed parallel to and spaced apart from each other; and a boss extends between the first and second arms; and wherein the boss is complementary shaped to the aperture and is received therein.
