12130500 · 2024-10-29 · ·

A multiple degree of freedom hinge system is provided, which is particularly well adapted for eyewear, such as spatial computing headsets. In the context of such spatial computing headsets having an optics assembly supported by opposing temple arms, the hinge system provides protection against over-extension of the temple arms or extreme deflections that may otherwise arise from undesirable torsional loading of the temple arms. The hinge systems also allow the temple arms to splay outwardly to enable proper fit and enhanced user comfort.

Eyeglasses are provided for folding into a substantially flat configuration to be fitted inside a compact case. The eyeglasses include a frame surrounding a pair of lenses, and a pair of temples which extend from respective outer edges of the frame. A first hinge connection positioned on each temple allows outer parts of the pair of temples to be folded horizontally inwards from the unfolded configuration into a first folded configuration. Respective inner parts of the temples are rotatable downwards relative to opposite side edges of the frame about respective second hinge connections into a fully folded condition substantially coplanar with the frame. In some embodiments, the frame and tips or earpieces of the temples are of rigid plastic material while the temples and hinge connections are of metal.

PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR WITH DUAL-MODE SIDEARMS
20180078420 · 2018-03-22 ·

A protective eyewear with dual-mode sidearms allows the eyewear to be worn in the presence or absence of earmuff-type hearing-protection apparatus. The protective eyewear comprises: an eyeshield; a first sidearm that is pivotally connected to the eyeshield by a first primary pivotal connection that is located proximate a first major end of the eyeshield; and a second sidearm that is pivotally connected to the eyeshield by a second primary pivotal connection that is located proximate a second, opposing major end of the eyeshield, wherein at least a rearward portion of a second, rear part of each sidearm comprises a laterally-outward-and-downward-facing major surface that is a concave surface, wherein the primary pivotal connection of each sidearm is configured so that each sidearm can be pivotally moved between at least a first, lowered configuration and a second, raised configuration, and wherein the sidearms are configured so that when the protective eyewear is worn in combination with an earmuff-type hearing-protection apparatus and when both sidearms are in the second, raised configuration, the rearward portion of the rear part of each sidearm rests atop a junction between an uppermost portion of a compliant seal of an earmuff of the hearing-protection apparatus, and a side of a user's head.

APPARATUS THAT IMPROVES VISION
20180081195 · 2018-03-22 ·

An apparatus includes a frame, a left temple, a right temple, a left end piece, a right end piece, a left hinge, and a right hinge. The frame includes a left side and a right side and the frame may support a plurality of lens. The frame of the apparatus that improves vision may be tilted to provide the lenses at varying angles and lock into place via a latching mechanism. The effect of the tilted lens provides significantly increased clarity and definition of vision, with no expensive custom lenses or magnification.

Slip-Resistant Eyewear System

A slip-resistant eyewear system comprising an eyewear frame generally comprises a nosepiece comprising a nosepiece material configured to couple to a bridge of an eyewear frame. The frame comprises first and second hinges coupled to the eyewear frame which are also coupled to first and second spring-loaded tension adjusters. First and second bows are coupled to first and second tension adjusters. A unitary eyewear retainer comprises a first end configured to couple to the first bow and a second end configured to couple to a second bow such that a tension is maintained on the unitary eyewear retainer when the unitary eyewear retainer extends around a back of a head of a user.
