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 lens. The apparatus frame that improves vision may be tilted to supply 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.

Spinnable frames for spectacles are provided. A spinnable frame allows a user to hold a distal end of one of the temples and freely spin the remainder of the spectacles around that end of the temple. A spin joint is provided in at least one of the temples that allows this spinning action. The spin joint may span an interface between the distal end of the temple and a proximal end of the temple, the proximal end being coupled to a front portion of the frame at a hinge interface. In this way, the temple arm is allowed to fold against the front portion for compact storage, as with conventional eyeglass frames, while facilitating spinning of the spectacles in a way that avoids excess forces on the hinge interface and/or other portions of the frame or lenses mounted therein.

A wearable image display device includes a display unit that displays an image and a wearing unit attached to the display unit. The display unit includes a first positioning portion and a first rotation mechanism that rotates relative to the wearing unit in a rotational direction with a first direction serving as a rotation axis. The wearing unit includes a second positioning portion brought into contact with the first positioning portion and a first fitting mechanism fitted to the first rotation mechanism. The first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are brought into contact with each other either at a first position or at a second position different from the first position in the rotational direction.

A temple intended to be mounted, by a mounting face, in hinged connection, to a spectacle frame, so as to be able to pivot between one and the other of two stable positions called folded position and unfolded position, respectively.

In particular, the temple comprises, from its proximal end toward a distal end, a first section and a second section. The first section is provided with a first face opposite the mounting face). The second section is in a ball joint with the first section. The first face and the second face are also of complementary shapes so as to allow the fitting of one into the other.

A wearable device includes a frame, two feet, and two pivoting modules. Each of the pivoting modules includes a first bracket fixedly connected to the frame, and a second bracket fixedly connected to one of the feet and pivotally coupled to the first bracket. The second bracket includes a positioning member and an inserting member. The positioning member is located in the first bracket, and the positioning member includes a plurality of slots. The inserting member is switchably inserted into one of the slots for adjusting a maximum outreaching volume from the frame to the feet.

A flip-to-wear eye shield system is provided. By integrating a hinge into elements of the frame and/or the lens, the eye shield can be manufactured and assembled more quickly and with less costs. In an embodiment, a lens may click (or snap) onto molded posts of a frame in a substantially flat position. An integrated living hinge in the frame may bend to allow the lens to flip downwards toward the frame to a second position for use. The posts may also click (or snap) into place in an underside of the frames. In another embodiment, a lens may click (or snap) onto molded posts of a flame in a substantially flat position. An integrated living hinge, formed by notches in the lens, may allow the lens to bend to flip downwards to the frame to a second position for use. A dispenser allows storing the eye shields in the flat position and dispensing in the second position for use.

Reversible orientation eyewear for which each of the temple arms moves from an initial orientation relative to the lens frame to a reverse orientation relative to the lens frame by undergoing movements that include rotating a locking piece from the one of the two relative positions to the remainder of the two relative positions and thereby becoming free of magnetic attraction by the magnetically attractive elements; pivoting the temple arms about associated ones of the two ends of the lens frame; and rotating the locking piece from the remainder of the two relative positions to the one of the relative positions to restore magnetic attraction by the magnetically attractive elements.

An eye wear comprises an optical filter disposed in front of an eye. The optical filter has a transmittance function of wavelength comprising a transmittance peak having a peak transmittance and a transmittance bandwidth. A transmittance outside the transmittance peak is at a lower level transmittance, wherein a ratio of the lower level transmittance to the peak transmittance is less than unity. The transmittance peak is at a central wavelength of a laser that emits laser light forming one of a laser spot and a laser line. The transmittance bandwidth is larger than a bandwidth of the laser light emitted by the laser. The laser spot or the laser line formed by the laser light emitted by the laser is viewed through the eye wear.

There is disclosed a wearable item. The wearable item includes at least one elongate member for supporting at least one attachable element. The elongate member is fabricated from an inner core that is surrounded by at least one outer layer. The at least one outer layer is elastic when strained by application of stress below a first elastic limit. The inner core is elastic when strained by application of stress below a second elastic limit or permanently deformed when strained by application of stress above the second elastic limit.

A slip-resistant eyewear system comprising an eyewear frame generally comprises first and second hinges coupled to the eyewear frame which are also coupled to first and second tension adjusters. First and second bows are coupled to first and second tension adjusters. The system may comprise an eyewear retainer comprising 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.
