Definitions

  • This invention pertains to cushioning and conforming means for/ and in combination with/ ophthalmic articles/ such as corrective eyeglasses or sunglasses or the like/ and in particular to improved cushioning compliant support means of the type aforesaid which are more freely conformable to the configuration of the nose of the wearer of the article.
  • patentee rice surely advanced the comfort of eyeglass users/ and yet his air cushions merely provide soft rather than hard contacts on a very small area on either side of the nose/ and not a means supporting the conforming to the broad surface/ and hard top of the nose of the eyeglass wearer.
  • the patentee's air cushions comprise a series of parallel/ closed air chambers. Accordingly/ the entrapped cushioning air is restrained in very closed spaces; it is not free to flow/ from one end of the cushion to the other/ as would be most desirable/ in order for the cushion to freely conform to the configuration of the nose.
  • a cushioning support member for use with ophthalmic articles such as corrective eyeglasses or sunglasses/ or the like/ which have a lens-joining bridge/ comprising extended cushion means/ for fixing thereof to an ophthalmic article lengthwise of the bridges thereof/ for cushioningly supporting the article upon the nose of a wearer of such article; said extended cushion means having means for attaching said cushion means to/, or being a part of/ such an opthalmic article circumferen- tially relative to the nose of a wearer of such article; and where said cushion means is compliant fully length ⁇ wise thereof/ intermediate said opposite ends thereof.
  • FIGURE 1 is a frontal/ elevational view of an embodi- ment of the novel cushioning compliant support means shown in accordance with the instant invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along section 2-2 of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a frontal view of an alternative e bodi- ment of the invention/ the same comprising a fore ⁇ shortened cushioning compliant support means for use only above the bridge of the nose/ or for use/ in com ⁇ bination with another thereof/ for use along the sides of the nose; and
  • FIGURE 4 is an isometric view of yet another/ alter ⁇ native embodiment of the invention.
  • a first embodiment of the novel cushioning support means 10 comprises an element 12 which is of a cushiony and compliant material/ or is sealed and confines therewithin a fluent material 16 which/ in this embodiment/ is oil.
  • Fastening means 18 are provided at the ends 14 and 14a and selected places along the length of the element 12/ for fixing the element fast to the bridge 20 and/or rims 22 of the lens of the ophthalmic article 24.
  • Cushioning compliant support means 10 of course/ has a sufficient length to wholly bridge ' across/ and lie over the nose of the wearer of the ophthalmic article 24. Hence/ the means 10 fully overlies the bridge and part of the sides of the nose/ and th oil 16/ for being fluent/ migrates to conform the element 12 to the con ⁇ figuration of the nose. By this menas/ the oil-filled element 12 will gently engage the nose fully there- across/ adapt to its shape/ and distribute the weight of the article 24 uniformly along an extended area of con ⁇ tact. This is what provides an uncommon comfort.
  • FIGURE 3 depicts an alternative embodiment of the cushioning compliant support means 10a from which sub ⁇ stantially the same benefits/ as obtained from the FIGURES 1 and 2 embodiment/ flow.
  • the means 10a comprises a foreshortened element 12a.
  • Element 12a also has fluent material therewithin/ or is of a cushiony compliant material/ and has fastening elements 18.
  • Element 12a may be fixed to the bridge 20 of an ophthalmic article for interpositioning between the latter and the bridge of the nose.
  • a pair of elements 12a may be fixed to the article for interpositioning between the latter and the sides of the nose.
  • both practices may be used/ with two of three of said elements 12a deployed as aforesaid over and long part of the sides of the nose.
  • the invention comprises the dis ⁇ closure of improved cushioning support means which are compliant fully lengthwise thereof/ intermediate the ends thereof/ and particularly such means which are freely conformable to the configuration of the nose of the wearer of the ophthalmic article continuously along the length of the cushion means. In these respects at least/ the novel means clearly distinguish the prior art.
  • the invention comprises another embodiment/ 10b/ as shown in FIGURE 4 , in which the cushion means 12b comprises a compliant strap.
  • the ends of the strap also have fastening elements 18 thereat for fixing the same to the article 24.
  • the strap freely con ⁇ forms to the configuration of the nose continuously along the length thereof between the ends thereof/ and may be gas or fluid filled for additional conformance and comfort.
  • a short web or flexible support 26 may be fixed to, or made integral with/ an intermediate portion of the strap 12b/ for fastening thereof to the bridge 20/ for holding the intermediate portion in place when the eye ⁇ glasses are not being worn.
  • the web 26 may be dispensed with/ or the strap 12b may be made slightly thicker/ hence more substantial/ to cause the internediate portion thereof to retain an arcuate shape in elevation.
  • the cushioning support means could be built into the bridge or could be fabricated with adhesive/ clips/ or other fastening devices/ which releasably or permanently latch to the ophthalmic article.
  • the fluent material is disclosed to be oil. However/ anyb fluent material or a cushiony compliant element/ or combinations thereof/ are comprehended by the invention.

Abstract

Un élément amortisseur de support comprend dans un premier mode de réalisation un tube étanche (12) qui renferme un matériau fluide, et dans un second mode de réalisation une bande souple et flexible (12b). Le dispositif est formé intégralement avec le pont (20) d'un article ophtalmique ou s'attache à celui-ci (par adhésion, par fixation ou par pincement) de façon à amortir la pose de l'article en se conformant dans toute sa longueur et de manière continue à la forme du nez du porteur de l'article. Le dispositif empêche en outre l'article de glisser le long du nez.
