Description



FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a hook pad which is secured to sunglasses or sunlenses to facilitate the mounting of the sunglasses or sunlenses on a bridge of a pair-of prescription eyeglasses.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are many different systems directed to the mounting of sunglasses in front of the lenses of a pair of prescription eyeglasses. These assemblies are commonly referred to as "clip-ons". As their name implies, a sunglass frame is secured around the rims holding the lenses in a prescription eyeglass frame. Usually, the plurality of pins projecting from the sunglass frame curve around the front and project onto the rear surface of the prescription eyeglass lenses.

Oftentimes, the existing assemblies for clipping on a sunglass frame to a pair of prescription glasses is complicated in its construction and particularly difficult to mount onto an eyeglass frame, particularly when one is driving or participating in an activity that demands their attention. Therefore, there is a need for sunglasses which may easily and quickly befit onto any pair of eyeglasses.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to quickly and easily, with little mechanical dexterity, clip a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses onto a bridge portion of a pair of prescription eyeglasses.

This object is accomplished by a specially designed hook pad which includes a groove or opening for receipt of the bridge portion of a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses. Two screws pass through a front edge of a front projection of the hook pad and force the bridge portion of the sunglasses or sunlenses to either be frictionally held against a central projection of the hook pad or receive the screws in screw holes in the bridge portion.

A second groove or opening defined between the central projection and a rear projection of the hook pad fits over the bridge of a pair of prescription eyeglasses. The hook pad holds the sunglasses or sunlenses in front of the lenses of the pair of prescription eyeglasses. A crosspiece of the hook pad interconnects the front, central and rear projections of the hook pad.

The hook pad is of a configuration so as to align two pad portions of the hook pad with the nose pads of the pair of prescription eyeglasses onto which the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses are mounted. This facilitates further support of the sunglasses or sunlenses on the pair of prescription eyeglasses.

An embedded metal reinforcement frame in the hook pad strengthens the hook pad which is otherwise made of plastic material. The metal reinforcement frame is U-shaped and extends between the front projection and rear projection and across a crosspiece of the nose pad. Particular strengthening is provided in the portions of the front projection through which two screws pass to secure the nose pad to the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses.

It is therefore another object of the present invention to secure a reinforced nose pad onto a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and having an opening for receipt of a bridge portion of a pair of prescription eyeglasses.

It is yet another object of the present invention to secure a reinforced nose pad onto a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and having an opening for receipt of a bridge portion of a pair of prescription eyeglasses with the nose pad having two openings or grooves, one for receipt of the bridge portion of the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and one for receipt of the bridge portion of the pair of prescription eyeglasses.

It is still yet another object of the present invention to secure a reinforced nose pad onto a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and having an opening for receipt of a bridge potion of a pair of prescription eyeglasses with the nose pad having two openings or grooves, one for receipt of the bridge portion of the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and one for receipt of the bridge portion of the pair of prescription eyeglasses with the nose pad being held to the bridge portion of the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses by two horizontally extending screws passing through a front projection of the nose pad and engaging the bridge portion of the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses.

It is another object of the present invention to secure a reinforced nose pad onto a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and having an opening for receipt of a bridge portion of a pair of prescription eyeglasses with the nose pad having two openings or grooves, one for receipt of the bridge portion of the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and one for receipt of the bridge portion of the pair of prescription eyeglasses with the nose pad being held to the bridge portion of the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses by two horizontally extending screws passing through a front projection of the nose pad and engaging the bridge portion of the pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and with a rear projection of the nose pad aligning with the nose pads of the prescription eyeglasses.

However, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terms so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.

In FIG. 1, a pair of eyeglasses 10 includes temples 12a, 12b and lenses 14a, 14b interconnected by a bridge portion 16. Extending from the bridge portion 16 are nose pads 18a, 18b.

A pair of sunglasses 20 are to be mounted on the pair of eyeglasses 10. The pair of sunglasses 20 includes lenses 22a, 22b interconnected by a bridge portion 24. Secured to the bridge portion 24 is a nose pad 26.

As shown in greater detail in FIGS. 2A through 2D, the nose pad includes three rows of projections. All three projections are interconnected by a cross piece 28, with all of the projections extending in the same direction from the cross piece 28. More specifically, with reference to FIGS. 2A through 2D, nose pad 26 includes front projection 30, central projection 32 and rear projection 34.

Defined between the front projection 30 and central projection 32 is a groove or opening 36 for receipt of the bridge portion of a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses. A second groove or opening 38 is defined between the central projection 32 and rear projection 34 for receipt of the bridge portion of a pair of eyeglasses 10 onto which the sunglasses or sunlenses are to be mounted.

Spaced across a front surface of front projection 30 are two screw holes 40a, 40b for receipt of screws having center lines 42a, 42b, respectively. When inserted, the screws engage the bridge portion 24 of a pair of sunglasses or sunlenses and press the bridge portion against the central projection 32 so as to hold the bridge portion 24 in place. Alternatively, the screws engage a screw hole in the bridge portion of the sunglasses for engagement therein.

The nose pad 26 is reinforced by a U-shaped metal plate 44 schematically illustrated in dotted lines in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2D. The metal plate extends centrally in front projection 30 at the approximate locations of the screws entering the screw holes 40a, 40b of the front projection. The metal plate 44 then travels across the cross piece 28 and turns 90 degrees into the rear projection 34 as best shown in FIG. 2D. As shown in FIG. 2C, the metal plate 44 at the center of nose pad 26 is only present in cross piece 28.

FIG. 7 illustrates the mounting of the sunglasses shown in FIG. 5B onto a pair of eyeglasses 10 as shown in FIG. 5A. After the mounting of the sunglasses onto the eyeglasses, it is noted that the divergent portions 38a, 38b of the rear projection 38 define an opening for the nose and assist in the positioning of the eyeglasses with the nose pads 18a, 18b.

Accordingly, by the present invention, a relatively simply formed nose pad is manufactured to position many varied types of sunglasses or sunlenses onto a pair of eyeglasses. As long as a bridge or nose portion is present in the sunglasses or sunlenses, the sunglasses or sunlenses may be mounted onto a pair of eyeglasses by the use of a nose pad of the present invention.

The foregoing description should be considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and, accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
