Description

【Technical field】
[0001]
The present invention relates to eyewear and eyeglasses, and a method of using the eyewear and eyeglasses, and provides a lens frame that is detachably attached to an eyewear platform by a magnet or other device. Since the lens frame can be detachably attached to the eyewear platform, the user can maximize the ability to change the lens according to need and / or situation.
[Background]
[0002]
Prior to the present invention, users used auxiliary eyewear that could be coupled to conventional glasses with magnets or clips to convert the conventional glasses into sunglasses, avoiding the need for additional prescription sunglasses. I came. The auxiliary eyewear is also used to change the power of the eyewear lens. Many current designs allow supplemental eyewear to be attached to various locations on conventional glasses using magnets or clips.
[0003]
However, there are several disadvantages to attaching additional auxiliary lenses to conventional glasses that already have their own lenses. The first is an extra weight that adds an auxiliary lens. Despite the advent of plastic lenses, the additional weight of the additional frame and lens can distract the user and cause irritation.
[0004]
Second, since there are two sets of lenses, if the two sets of lenses are close together, they can cause glare or reflection. This reflection or glare can be very cumbersome and can render the original purpose of use of sunglasses, which reduces glare and improves visibility, meaningless.
[0005]
Third, the gap between the two sets of lenses can interfere with the user's field of view. Many styles of current sunglasses have smaller or narrower lenses. When an auxiliary lens is attached to the original or conventional eyewear, the field of view through the attachment lens is smaller than the field of view through a larger lens, and the user may feel a shift between the two sets of lenses. . And this gap can be very worrisome for the user.
[0006]
Fourth, those who do not need prescription eyeglasses do not have eyeglasses and therefore do not realistically use these current auxiliary eyewear accessories. Therefore, the advantage of changing the color of the sunglasses cannot be used.
[0007]
The claimed invention avoids the above problems and provides significant advantages in a new method of detachably attaching a lens frame to new equipment and eyewear platforms. Applicant's invention allows the lens itself to be removed from the eyewear platform so that the user can easily replace the lens and only wear one set of lenses at a time. In Applicant's invention, only one set of lenses is used in eyewear, thus reducing weight and eliminating glare and reflections between lenses, thereby eliminating visual confusion. Also, since there is only one set of lenses, the user is easier to keep the lenses clean. Furthermore, since the same eyewear platform is used as the base for different lenses, the user can use a wide variety of lens types that can be quickly and easily replaced by using one eyewear device. This instant eyewear device is comfortable to wear and easy to use. Small cases that house different types of lenses are more convenient to carry than multiple boxes for different eyewear. Finally, instead of owning several different conventional glasses, owning different lens sets for a set of eyewear platforms can save users considerable costs.
[0008]
The present invention allows the user to maximize the types of eyewear that can be used as needed. For example, a user can easily change from a lens for reading small prints to sunglasses. Also, those who do not need prescription glasses can change the color of their sunglasses according to their specific needs or circumstances. For example, a drive in the mountains may require a yellow lens, but a fishing or sailing day in the sun may require a gray lens.
[0009]
Further, according to the present invention, safety glasses and eyewear can be exchanged efficiently and easily. Since the safety lens (safety lens) can be detachably attached to the lens frame, the user can easily replace the safety lens if it becomes dirty, damaged or broken after use. Since only the lens frame is replaced, the user can save money by replacing only this lens frame, not the entire safety eyewear.
[0010]
This eyewear device not only provides the ability to quickly change lenses, but also provides a stable and effective mounting, effective against unintentional removal of the lens frame from the eyewear platform. Provide a strong drag.
[0011]
From the above description, it is clear that currently used devices have significant disadvantages and limitations. For this reason, there is still room for progress in the technology in the technical field of the present invention.
