Auxiliary eyewear attachment methods and apparatus and universal adapter

摘要

Apparatus comprising primary and auxiliary eyeglasses and further comprising:
a plurality of magnets mounted on said primary eyeglasses;
a plurality of magnets mounted on said auxiliary eyeglasses for mating beneath said plurality of magnets on said primary eyeglasses;
said plurality of magnets on said primary eyeglasses and said plurality of magnets on said auxiliary eyeglasses being oriented when mated such that the maximum magnetic attractive force between said magnets is oriented vertically parallel to lenses in said primary eyeglasses;
each of said plurality of magnets on said primary eyeglass being mounted in a universal adapter constructed to be mounted on said primary eyeglasses with existing hardware;
whereby said plurality of magnets on said auxiliary eyeglasses when mated beneath said plurality of magnets on said primary eyeglasses provides maximum resistance to downward movement of said auxiliary eyeglasses thereby preventing said auxiliary eyeglasses from detaching from said primary eyeglasses.
