Problems solved by technology

Thus, it may be necessary to set the gas flow from the oxygen source at a higher intensity, which may quickly deplete the oxygen source and / or the battery powering the device
Third, the hollow channel is difficult or inconvenient to clean
Although this approach affords more flexibility, none of these existing glasses are designed to accommodate the natural movement and bending of the oxygen hose

Abstract

The disclosure relates to eyewear, such as eyeglasses, configured for receiving a hose, such as a medical gas therapy hose. The eyewear comprises flexible elements and a groove defined in and extending through the flexible elements and other parts of the eyewear. The disclosure further relates to a flexible element, such as a hinge, which may be used in eyewear to enable bending of parts of the eyewear. An exemplary embodiment of the flexible element is a hinge having a plurality of repeating units.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention is a goggle including a goggle hinge and / or a goggle temple that may be configured to receive a hose for medical gas administration, such as oxygen therapy. The goggle may include flexible elements and / or temples to enable folding of the goggle, secure placement of the hose and provide maximum comfort to the wearer of the goggle. The hose is integrated into the goggle in a way that optimizes comfort and flexibility. The invention relates to a pair of spectacles comprising structures suitable for holding lenses and temples. The invention also relates to the assembly of such a pair of eyeglasses and an oxygen administration device comprising a tube. The invention also relates to a method for building such an assembly. The invention also relates to a tool for use in such a method. It relates in particular to oxygen therapy such as administered to people suffering from COPD. Background technique [0002] For many diseases an...
