Glasses support device

Abstract

A spectacle frame apparatus includes an attachment mechanism, a flat plate, and a tensioning member. The attachment mechanism is removably coupled to a structure, such as a window or frame. The adjustable attachment mechanism integrates a ball joint and optionally a clamping or suction mechanism for stability. The flat plate is of a rectangular structure with a front surface and a rear surface, and comprises a plurality of notches along secondary sides and a central notch with a clamping tongue. A tensioning member extends between the notches and behind the tongue to secure the eyeglasses by tensioning the temples between the flat plate and the tensioning element. The flat plate consists of organic glass and is fastened to the attachment mechanism using screws, rivets or adhesives.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention generally relates to an eyeglasses frame device. More specifically, this invention is an eyeglasses frame device that uses tension and suction to hold eyeglasses in place. Background Technology

[0002] Eyeglasses typically consist of lenses set within a frame that has temples. Eyeglasses are delicate objects that require careful handling and storage to prevent damage. The temples, also known as armholes, extend over the ears to secure the glasses to the wearer's face; they are particularly susceptible to pressure and damage if not stored properly. Several methods and devices have been proposed in the prior art for storing eyeglasses to reduce the risk of damage and to make them easily accessible.

[0003] Traditional storage solutions include glasses cases, glasses stands, and hangers. While glasses cases offer good protection, they make glasses less accessible because they must be opened and the glasses removed, which can be inconvenient, especially for those who frequently switch between putting on and taking off their glasses. On the other hand, glasses stands and hangers make glasses easier to access but typically offer less protection, especially in environments where there is a risk of glasses being knocked off.

[0004] In addition, there are existing technological solutions such as magnetic frames and snap-on systems. Magnetic frames generally lack versatility in mounting on various surfaces, and their magnetic fields can potentially interfere with electronic devices. Snap-on systems, on the other hand, apply excessive pressure to the temples, which may cause pressure and potential deformation of the glasses over time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by providing an eyeglass holder device that is both stable and does not damage the eyeglasses. This device is designed to provide an improved method of holding eyeglasses in a way that protects them from being knocked off, does not apply harmful pressure to sensitive parts (such as the temples), and can be attached to various surfaces, allowing for greater versatility in use.

[0006] The inventive eyeglass holder device of this invention includes a suction cup, an arm, and a plate. The suction cup allows the device to be mounted on various smooth surfaces, such as glass, mirrors, and metal, with flexible placement options. This feature is particularly advantageous in environments where space is limited or where traditional glasses stands and cases are impractical. The suction cup further provides the user with an eyeglass holder suitable for use in various activities, including boats, UTVs, golf carts, and other vehicles.

[0007] The arm acts as a link between the suction cup and the tablet, positioning the tablet at a height and angle convenient for the user to place or retrieve the glasses. This design ensures the glasses are held securely while still remaining easily accessible.

[0008] A key feature of this invention is a tensioning member, typically an elastic band, that extends across the front surface of the plate. The tensioning member is configured to hold the eyeglasses in place by tensioning the temples against the plate. This arrangement avoids direct contact pressure applied to the temples, which are typically clips and clamps, thus minimizing the risk of damage. The elastic properties of the tensioning member allow it to accommodate various temple sizes and thicknesses, further enhancing the protective function of the device without sacrificing convenience.

[0009] In summary, this invention offers a significant improvement over existing technologies by providing a secure, damage-resistant, and versatile storage solution for eyeglasses. The design of this invention solves common problems associated with the storage and handling of eyeglasses, making it a valuable accessory for eyeglass wearers. This innovative design not only improves the durability of eyeglasses but also provides a more convenient and accessible user experience. Attached Figure Description
