A principal objective of the present invention is to provide system for temperately retaining eyeglasses on a user's headwear. This objective is achieved by incorporating magnetic elements on the headwear and eyewear of the user. In one embodiment of the present invention, two magnetic elements are attached to the inside surfaces of the two temple arms of a pair of eyeglasses. Another two magnetic elements are attached to the two sides of a hat permanently or removably. The polarities of the magnetic elements are arranged in such way that when the two temple arms of the eyeglasses are placed in contact to the two sides of the hat from the outside of the hat, the magnetic elements on the eyeglasses and the magnetic elements on the headwear form magnetic element coupling pairs with attraction magnetic force. When the eyeglasses are not in use and need to be temporarily stored away from the eyes, the user can lift them to the crown or above the brim of the hat. The corresponding magnetic element coupling pairs will attach the temple arms of the eyeglasses to the side of the hat.

An eye wear retainer is disclosed which can be adjusted such that it can be raised or lowered without pre-set braking points. The braking mechanism is automatic or self-adjusting, and does not require a button or switch for use. The wearer using the eye wear retainer merely raises or lowers the eyeglasses or sunglasses to the desired height on his or her body, with the only limitation being the length of the wire connecting the eyeglasses to the eye wear retainer device.

The eyeglass retainer comprises a pair of elastic tubes, to each of those which each of the temples of eyeglasses is forcibly inserted, a pair of wire members each connected to the corresponding elastic tube, and a pair of piece members each fixed to the corresponding end of the wire member; wherein each of the wire members is slidably inserted through the corresponding piece member at the middle position of the wire member with intervention of given sliding frictional force, the tubes made of elastic synthetic resin, through those which the wire members are slidably inserted with intervention of given frictional force, are embedded inside the piece members, respectively, and the wire members and the tubes made of elastic synthetic resin are interactively configured such that the tensile force to be generated when pulling the pair of piece members adapted to slide against the wire members.

An eyeglass retainer comprising a first cinch and a second cinch, the first cinch and second cinch each comprising a base with a first wall emanating up from the base forming a closed compartment, the first wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, a second wall emanating from the outer surface of the first wall, the second wall forming an aperture lateral of the closed compartment, the second wall having an inner surface and an outer surface and a lace having a body, a first end, a second end, the first end passing through the aperture of the first cinch and engaging with the closed compartment of the first cinch, forming a first loop, the second end passing through the aperture of the second cinch and engaging with the closed compartment of the second cinch, forming a second loop.

Eyewear devices including a tether and methods for identifying proper installation of the tether are disclosed. An eyewear device includes transmission lines extending through the temples to electrical and electronic components positioned adjacent to edges of a frame. A tether is attached to the temples to enable power and communication flow between the electrical and electronic components rather than through the frame. Proper installation is identified based on communications passing between the electrical and electronic components via the tether.

Eyeglasses include a temple having upper and lower notches spaced proximally of an opening. A cord including a looped end may be passed through the opening and then over a proximal end of the temple to engage the notches. A related method is also disclosed.

A viewing neck posture discomfort relief accessory includes a user wearable head band assembly, and an optical assembly attached to the user wearable head band assembly. The user wearable head band assembly is worn by the user to place the optical assembly in front of the user's eyes. The optical assembly enables the user to look into the optical assembly in a forward direction so that the neck of the user can be held in a generally upright comfortable posture due to the optical assembly having pairs of mirrors that reflect the path of sight of the user' eyes from the forward direction to a downward direction to allow viewing an item, such as a book page or mobile device keyboard or screen, being held by the user in a generally horizontal orientation.

Eyeglasses (2) comprise a pair of extensions (1) configured to be fixed each to a respective temple tip (42) of the eyeglasses (2). Each extension (1) comprises a body (5), having a first segment (53) adapted to be fixed to a respective temple tip (42) of an eyeglass (2), and a second segment (54) inclined with respect to the first segment (53). When the first segments (53) are connected each to the respective temple tip (42), the second segments (54) project from the respective temple tips (42) in directions (T) converging with each other. In this way, the second segments (54) can rest on the neck of a user and support the eyeglasses at the neck without the use of a chain. The extensions (1) are adaptable to temple tips (42) of different sizes.

The article of manufacture is cable with a rubberized outer coating. The cable has sufficient stiffness that it resists being bent. Two retainers with openings through their middle are placed on the cable. The two retainers are tapered at the top and have a cylindrical bottom. The retainers are placed on the cable with the tapered tops facing each other. On the cylindrical bottom a thread opening is drilled for a set screw. The cable is thread through the center of the retainer and held in place by tightening the set screw. Over the cylindrical bottom of the retainers a rubber tube is placed. The tube is held in place by machined barbs. To use the invention one takes the tubes and places them over the eyeglasses' temples. Then the individual takes the invention with the eyeglasses and places it over his head.

A distributed augmented reality system for producing rendered environment includes a neckband formed from a first arm, second arm, and computation compartment. A power source is embedded in the first and/or second arm, while a processor is embedded in the computation compartment of the neckband. The neckband may be capable of producing an AR, VR or MR environment, or any combination thereof. The neckband device may be used with a coupled eyewear device system encompassing a Near-Eye Display (NED) and/or secondary user device, which may also produce an AR, VR or MR environment, or any combination thereof. The neckband device may provide power and computation to the eyewear device, allowing for a reduced form factor AR/VR/MR eyewear device.
