DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 8 thereof, a new glasses device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

[0021] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 8, the automatic illuminating glasses apparatus 10 generally comprises a frame 12 having a bridge 14 and a pair of temples 16. A pair of lenses 18 is coupled to the frame 12. A pair of arms 20 is coupled to the frame 12. The pair of arms 20 may be pivotably coupled to the pair of temples 16.

[0022] At least one light 22 is coupled to the frame 12. The lights 22 may be a pair of lights 22 coupled to the pair of temples 16 of the frame. The pair of lights 22 may be flush mounted to a frame front side 24 of the frame and may be light emitting diodes (LEDs). A sensor 26 is coupled to the frame 12. The sensor 26 is in operational communication with the lights 22. The sensor 26 may be coupled to the bridge 14 of the frame. The sensor 26 may be flush mounted to the frame front side 24 of the frame.

[0023] A battery 28 is coupled to the pair of arms 20. The battery 28 is coupled within one of the arms 20 and is in operational communication with the lights 22. The battery 28 may be a pair of batteries 28 coupled within the pair of arms 20. Each battery 28 of the pair of batteries may include an induction coil 30 configured to be in operational communication with a wireless charging pad 32.

[0024] A microprocessor 34 is coupled to the pair of arms 20. The microprocessor 34 is coupled within one of the arms 20 and is in operational communication with the sensor 26 and the lights 22. A power button 36 is coupled to the pair of arms 20. The power button 26 is in operational communication with the microprocessor 34 to selectively turn the lights 22 on, off, or to automatically illuminate when the sensor 26 detects low light environments.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment of the invention 40, a camera 42 is coupled to the frame 12. The camera 42 may be coupled to the bridge 14 adjacent the sensor 26. The camera 42 may be flush mounted to the frame front side 24. A wireless transmitter 44 is coupled to the pair of arms 20. The wireless transmitter 44 is in operational communication with the camera 42 and the microprocessor 34. A microphone 46 may be coupled to the pair of arms 20. The microphone 46 is in operational communication with the microprocessor 34 and the wireless transmitter 44.

[0026] In use, the apparatus 10 is worn like a traditional pair of glasses. The power button 26 is used to control the lights 22. The alternative embodiment 40 is placed in wireless communication with a personal electronic device 48 using the wireless transmitter 44 to send video and audio signal from the camera 42 and the microphone 46.

[0027] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0028] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
