Abstract
A ring that is molded of a single piece of thin optical lens configured with one opening for a finger, for quickly and easily viewing magnified objects, with little effort. Its one material body makes it simple to use, strong and is easily worn at all times. Furthermore, multiple pieces of different lens magnification types and strengths can be sandwiched and aligned together on the same finger, creating a multi use viewing piece, equivalent to reading glasses, magnifying lens, a microscope and a telescope.
Claims
1. I claim: An optical ring device, referred to as a body, that's about the size and thickness of an US half dollar. It is worn discreetly on a finger for quickly and easily viewing and reading of an object by one eye. The body is entirely less than 4 mm thick of one, thickness throughout. The body is configured with a viewing lens area that has one magnification strength. The body is tinted of one shade. The body has one circular opening, with one sized to fit a finger comfortably yet large enough so the body can easily swivel around the finger. The body is molded of a homogeneous, high strength, transparent, scratch resistant plastic. The body has no moving or affixed parts.
2. The optical ring device of claim 1; I claim two bodies, or more, positioned together on one finger, each of different magnification strength. By sandwiching the viewing lens areas in alignment, a greater, more enhanced viewing of an object by one eye is achieved. The sandwich arrangement works distortion free because each thin body can be stacked, tightly together on one finger. With each body's functional viewing lens area aligned, a more enhanced, magnified view is achieved similar to a telescope and microscope.
Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0016] FIG. 1A is a birds eye view of a partial hand showing one optical ring (100) on a finger (103) in its, in-use, up position, of the viewable lens area (101) and the circular finger opening (102).
[0017] FIG. 2A is said birds eye rotated (105) approximately 90 degrees from the in-use, up position to an alternate, or non-use, side position.
[0018] FIG. 3B is said birds eye of optical rings' (100) and (104), the two sandwiched together with the viewable lens area (101) in alignment, in-usE, up position.
[0019] FIG. 4C is said birds eye rotated (105) 180 degrees from the up position, with the viewable lens area (101) in its non-use, fully hidden, discreet position.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] FIGS. 1-4. Depict the optical ring (100) made of a thin, transparent, homogeneous plastic body that incorporates one lens strength type of ophthalmic, telescopic, microscopic and or other known state of the art magnifying lens. At one end of the body is located an opening (102) large enough for a finger (103) to fit through, yet swivel. The other end of the body is the viewable lens area (101).
[0021] FIGS. 1A and 2A Depict two viewings, the up and the side positions, for alternate ways of looking through the viewable lens area (101) depending on the most comfortable location of the body between the eye and the viewed object.
[0022] FIG. 1A. The up position, the viewable lens area (101) is shown when the user uses one eye and looks over the top of the finger (103) through the viewable lens area.(101)
[0023] FIG. 2A The side position, the viewable lens area (101) is shown rotated (105) approximately 90 degrees around the finger (103) to a side. The user uses one eye and looks along the side of the finger (103) through the viewable lens area (101).
[0024] FIG. 3B Depicts one optical ring (100) and a second optical ring (104), each of different lens strength, sandwiching each ring's viewable lens area (101) in an aligned, up arrangement, position as shown, on the finger (103) The user simply rotates each ring as needed for higher magnification. While only shown are two rings, more than two rings can be affixed to the finger as dictated by the magnification needed
[0025] FIG. 4C. Depicts a stored, non-use position by rotating (105) an optical ring (100) approximately 180 degrees from the up use position as shown, or other position, with the viewable lens area (101) tucked against the underside of the hand, thus protecting, and hiding the optical ring's viewable lens area (101).
