Problems solved by technology

Likewise, repeated use can cause wear on the mating surfaces of the contacts, as well as flicker problems due to intermittent conduction of the contacts
Also, if the glasses are only hinged, the light is always on when the temple arms are pivoted open and therefore cannot be used as non-lit glasses in general
One solution is to provide another on-off switch, but this undesirably increases the complexity and cost of the illuminated glasses and requires additional electronics on the glasses, which results in a poorer appearance

Embodiment Construction

[0043] In general and as further described below, illuminated eyewear, which may or may not include a lens or lenses 21 attached thereto, is provided that provides forward lighting to the wearer. The illuminated eyewear 10 may be constructed with a conventional eyeglass frame 11 having a plurality of generally rigid frame elements including a pair of spaced apart temple arm elements 12 and a front cross brace extending transversely between the temple arm elements 12. Element 14. As shown, the temple arm member 12 is pivotally connected to the cross brace member 14 via a hinge 30 at the junction between the transversely opposite end 16 of the cross brace member 14 and the front end 44 of the temple arm member 12 .

[0044] Other configurations of the frame 11 of the light-emitting glasses 10 are also conceivable, including cross-brace elements 14 modified to include several parts or parts, or for example by only including intermediate bridges or elements 20 connected to the len...

Abstract

Provided is a lighting glasses. In one form, an edge supporting arm component is provided with all luminous components which consists of light source used in every edge supporting arm component, power source used for the light source and an electrical connection used for supplying power from the power source to the light source. In the other form, a horizontal supporting rack component comprises an eyeshade part which is integratedly formed at any ends, and the eyeshade is constructed in that diffused light and the problem of flash are prevented. The eyeshade part is obliquely and preferably disposed on the light cone extending surface of the LED light source along the front end part of each edge supporting arm component. In the other form, each edge supporting arm component is provided with a concave cavity disposed on the inner surface of the edge supporting arm component, and a power supply and a switch component are contained in the concave cavity. A switch actuator is disposed on the inner surface part, thereby the switch actuator can be hided to improve the appearance of the glasses.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to hands-free lighting devices, and more particularly to illuminated eyewear. Background technique [0002] Often an individual needs a light source to illuminate an area while performing a task or needs a light source pointing in a generally outward direction for visibility. One option is to carry a flashlight, but such lighting devices are often cumbersome and often interfere with task completion by having to hold the flashlight. For this reason, hands-free lighting fixtures are often employed because the illumination required by the individual does not require a fixed light source. Common types of hands-free lighting include light sources mounted on helmets or glasses. [0003] Light sources on eyeglasses typically include a light source (which may be an LED) mounting structure on the crosspiece or temple of the eyewear to provide forward illumination to the wearer. In such configurations, light-emitting glasses are ...
