Embodiment Construction

[0024]Certain embodiments are directed to a combined cap and sunglass product that avoids loss of or damage to the eyewear, while allowing the user to continuously wear the cap component of the product, while using the eye protection component only when desired and keeping it safe and clean when not in use. While sunglasses are provided in certain embodiments, lenses in other embodiments may have other functionality, such as to correct vision, to provide dust protection, to provide eye safety, or to provide services similar to those provided by a smart phone.

[0025]Certain embodiments can include a modified cap, sunglasses, and a retractable arm, alone or in various combinations with one another. The sunglasses can be attached to a cap brim by moveable retractable arms and ball joints, allowing for varying the position of the sunglasses relative to the brim and for seating on the bridge of the wearer's nose. The sunglasses can be free to move in the X, Y, and Z directions to allow fo...

Abstract

A modified cap for the attachment of eye protective lenses or modified sunglasses via retractable arms movable in several directions can provide quick placement of the sunglasses on the face. The sunglasses which do not need temples can be partially stowed under the cap's brim or in a recessed compartment in the cap's brim, either of which may have friction points or magnets set to keep the sunglasses from dropping down. The user can release the sunglasses to position them on the face where they can be held in place by the telescopic arms that extend/retract according to the required placement of the sunglasses determined by the differing head size and facial contours of the wearer. Certain embodiments, therefore, allow the fast placement and removal of sunglasses in an efficient manner by keeping them close to the user's face in a safe position when not in use.
