20080239234 | Fly-wing rotating lens eyeglasses - A spectacle frame and lens arrangement whereby each lens rotates up and out of the field of vision by pivoting about a central pivot mechanism in the frame which keeps the lenses within the same plane both in the park and use positions. This differs from traditional flip-up spectacles that operate by causing the lens to fold up and forward from the user's eyes or outward to each side. This is accomplished by a simple squeeze of the frame and lower edge of a single lens between the forefinger and thumb of one hand. | 10-02-2008 |
20090073376 | Flip up safety, magnificaition or reading glasses - The invention relates generally to the field of reading glasses with safety as a factor in many cases where these glasses are used during the work day. The lenses are attached to a frame which is not a typical frame for glasses and frame and lenses are attached to each other by a small hinge which allows the lenses to flip up and down without removing the glasses and frame. Unlike standard reading glasses that you take off when not reading, they can become lost or broken while not on your head during work. The important feature is that while quite often a worker has one hand occupied with tools, the other hand is free to flip the lenses up or down without removing the glasses. | 03-19-2009 |
20100110365 | Eyewear With Enhanced Fit - Eyewear having an enhanced fit which may be used for safety, sports, and the like. The eyewear may provide features which permit enhanced airflow and an enhanced fit to a user's face. Such features may include greater adjustability to provide greater comfort. Eyewear including an RFID tag which is activated to send or receive transmissions when the eyewear is unfolded and/or positioned in a position to be worn by a user. | 05-06-2010 |
20130250230 | EYEWEAR - Eyewear having a lens retraction system allows the user to maintain the eyewear on their head without having to move the frames from their ordinary wearing position, yet allows the lenses to be selectively moved from an in use position to a stowed position away from the user's eyes. The retraction mechanism is configured into the side frames of the eyewear and allows the lens assemblies to be slidably or pivotally moved into the stowed position on the side of the wearer's head. | 09-26-2013 |
20140071395 | EYEGLASSES WITH RAISABLE LENSES - The invention provides eyeglasses with lenses that can be placed in front of the eye to correct vision or raised above the eyes to provide access to one or both eyes and face. Each lens can be independently positioned in front of the eye or above the eye allowing clear vision in one eye and access to the other eye and side of face for activities such as make-up application, eye drop application or insertion or removal of contact lenses. | 03-13-2014 |
20160070118 | Eyewear Assembly with Pivotal Lenses - An eyewear assembly with pivotal lenses allows the lenses to be pivoted and interchanged as needed to ensure that desired lenses are readily accessible. The assembly includes a frame having a pair of temples and a front. The front is coupled to and extends between the pair of temples. A lens assembly is provided and includes a first pair of lenses. Each of the lenses of the first pair of lenses is pivotally coupled to the front of the frame to allow the lenses of the first pair of lenses to be pivoted toward and away from the front of the frame. | 03-10-2016 |
