[0048] FIG. 1 shows a front perspective view of an exemplary eyewear apparatus 100 capable of allowing a wearer to provide useful information to a hairdresser, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0049] The eyewear apparatus 100 includes a first visual device 110, a second visual device 120, a nose bridge 130, and a nose pad assembly 140. The visual device 110, 120 are devices that allow a user vision with regards to particular usages in accordance with the present disclosure. In other words, the visual device 110, 120, with regards to their namesake function afford visual functions to users utilizing them either by wearing them or otherwise by holding the visual devices 110, 120 to merely just utilize the function. The visual devices 110, 120 are mounted on a mounting member 150 which is typically a rim that affords and allows the visual devices 110, 120 to be placed on them, and in some embodiments, be fixed on them. The visual devices 110, 120 are typically rectangular in shape as shown in FIG. 1 but can also include other shapes.

[0050] One main function of the visual devices 110, 120 is that of its ability to provide vision as already mentioned. The devices 110, 120 affords this by means of a lens or lenses that has near-sightedness properties. In other words, a user wearing the apparatus 100 is typically near-sighted and therefore the corresponding lenses allow a wearer (i.e. the user) to see clearly a target object or a subject. In other embodiments, the visual devices 110, 120 can also correspond to far-sightedness or other optical matter that may be appreciated by a person skilled in the art.

[0051] FIG. 2 shows a generally and partially isometric view of the exemplary apparatus 100 capable of allowing a wearer to provide useful information to a hairdresser with the figure indicating an additional exploded view with regards to one of the visual devices 110, 120 associated with the exemplary apparatus 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In particular, the visual device 110 is shown as being separate from the device mount 150 with the visual device 120, on the contrary being intact.

[0052] Referring again to FIG. 1, the nose bridge 130 connects the first visual device 110 and the second visual device 120. During operation, the nose bridge 130 also fits over a nose top of a wearer as can been seen in FIGS. 3A-3C. The nose pad assembly 140 provides a placement mechanism for the apparatus 100 as shown in FIG. 1 by allowing the apparatus 100 to be placed over the stem of the nose of a wearer which is again clearly shown in FIGS. 3A-3C.

[0053] As can further be appreciated from FIGS. 3A-3C, the apparatus 100 is armless in that the apparatus lacks arms 100 such that during operation, a corresponding portion of the wearer is naked as to any external objects such that a hairdresser can attend to that portion of the wearer. In a typical, the wearer wears the apparatus 100 which has no arms that typically connect to the ears and rest in a stationary position. In that position, the arm is disposed along the portion of the person of the wearer where there is hair, i.e. the portion where the hairdresser conducts given work functions. In other words, the apparatus 100 causes no hindrance to the hairdresser, by means of having no support arms that are capable of providing hindrance on the person of the wearer where the hairdresser is conducting his given work functions, during operation.

[0054] FIGS. 3A-3C also show various applications pertaining to the present disclosure. For example, FIG. 3A, in part, shows a hairdresser working on a portion of the person of the wearer where an arm would otherwise be present in an eyewear having an arm. FIG. 3B shows, in part, a wearer using the apparatus 100 while attempting to work over a portion of the person of the wearer where an arm would otherwise be present in an eyewear having an arm. FIG. 3C shows, in part, a wearer poised to provide comments based on the hairdresser's work over a portion of the person of the wearer where an arm would otherwise be present in an eyewear having an arm.

[0055] The present invention relates to eyeglasses. More particularly, the present invention relates to Armless Eyeglasses. The Armless Eyeglasses provides near-sighted glasses wearers with an alternative pair of eyeglasses capable of staying on the nose bridge without the side arms and enables haircut and styling clients to keep their glasses on without interfering with the haircut. The present invention remains secure on the nose bridge, ensuring the eyeglasses do not fall off during the haircut, styling, or coloring and prevents a haircut from going awry and a client receiving a haircut he or she is not happy with. The Armless Eyeglasses allows users to interchange lenses within the frame to accommodate different situations. The user can also use the glasses while hair dyeing which could be in the user's home or any other place the user may deem fit.

[0056] The concept of fitting these glasses with negative powers is unique utility wise because generally armless glasses are fitted only with positive powers which are used for reading purposes. With this product though there will be powers with negative numbers like 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 etc.

[0057] These glasses can also be made via prescription by a doctor, optician or an ophthalmologist. These glasses will also benefit the user while combing their hair.

[0058] The disclosure in this paragraph is generic, but nevertheless pertains and is related to the present disclosure, and therefore may be repetitive with regards to the above. Armless Eyeglasses is a pair of improved glasses for near-sighted individuals. The glasses rest on the nose bridge and do not feature the standard arms that sit on the ears and temple. Without the arms, the wearer can maintain his/her glasses while getting a haircut. The eyeglasses are intended to be non-prescription so that people can purchase the glasses without visiting a doctor. The near-sighted individual can maintain clear vision and give feedback to the barber and stylist to prevent unwanted haircuts and/or mistakes. Furthermore, the glasses can be especially helpful while coloring hair. Users are able to maintain proper vision and ensure hair is colored to a desired tint or tone. Each pair of glasses can be unisex with a one-size-fits-all construction, including youths. The glasses may feature interchangeable lenses to accommodate different situations. Exact size, measurement, construction, and design specifications may vary upon further development and manufacturing.

[0059] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not limited to these embodiments only. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions, and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as described in the claim.

[0060] In the foregoing description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, that the present invention can be practiced without these specific details.

[0061] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term coupled to is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms coupled to and coupled with are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms coupled to and coupled with are also used euphemistically to mean communicatively coupled with over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.

[0062] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms comprises and comprising should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps can be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C . . . and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.

[0063] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention can be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
