Description

EYEGLASSES WITH SUPPORTS FOR THE EARS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates, in general, to eye protective devices and protective devices for the ears, and in particular, to protective eyewear with combined protective earphones, as well as protective devices for the ears that have added ability to protect the ears. Audio. It is often desired to protect a person's eyes from being injured by flying debris in the workplace and to protect a person's hearing from being damaged due to excessive noise in the workplace. Well-known solutions for this problem include providing safety goggles and separate ear plugs. A problem arises because a person, such as an employee, can use only a protective device when, in fact, both protective glasses and protective headphones are needed for adequate protection in the work environment. Other well-known solutions to this problem include providing safety glasses with ear plugs attached to the safety glasses in some way, such as by ropes. The problem with these solutions is that the user can use the safety glasses without using the earplugs, causing this damage to the ear. As an example, Leight, US Pat. No. 3,943,925, provides a protective ear assembly that attaches to the safety goggle lugs, in which the lugs of the goggles are held over the ear. The protective assembly can be completely removed from the safety glasses, and, in addition, the assembly includes a brake that can hold the ear plug away from the ear, thereby enabling the safety glasses to be worn without using the ear protector . It is therefore desirable to have an eye and ear safety device which, by design, requires the user to wear both the safety glasses and the ear plugs simultaneously, thereby ensuring that the user's eyes and ears protect themselves from harm. It is also sometimes desirable to listen to an audio device such as a radio, cassette tape, or compact disc player at the same time that a protective ear device or concealer is used, and there are occasions, such as, for example, in the floor of a large factory, when it is desirable to add the convenience of a microphone together with the ability to receive audio in order to allow two-way communication. Well-known solutions to this problem include the use of a helmet with audio headphones with the possibility that the case has a microphone, and frequently these helmets are worn by those who wear glasses. The problem with the solutions of the prior art is the inconvenience of having to put on or take off the glasses and the helmet with a separate microphone and then have to replenish several devices when either of them is wrong. Rickards, U.S. Patent No. 5,717,479, discloses a pair of safety glasses having a microphone in a bra and having ear plugs with disposable speakers attached by a sound tube or a wire to a receiver. radio mounted to safety glasses. However, Rickards device safety goggles are held on the user's ears by means of belt loops on the backs of the lugs, thereby allowing earplugs with loudspeakers to be removed while wearing the goggles. of safety and remove any protection of the user's ear. This prior art is undesirable because the user's ears can be fully exposed and not blocked while wearing the glasses, and the use of the headphones in this way can not be mandatory.
Glasses are also known that incorporate a hearing aid in the frame of the glasses. Nevertheless, these solutions can not connect a two-way communication device, such as a radio, and these hearing aid boxes do not incorporate a microphone. Additionally, these hearing aid glasses do not provide protection from later hearing loss. It is also desirable that the eye protection lenses or the eyeglass protector can be inked or have a polarization coating to serve as sun glasses, thereby shielding the eyes from damaging brightness or the sun's rays when the sun is shining. outside, and that these glasses are provided with audio headphones and / or microphones.
BRIEF COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION The present invention has many modalities and improvements that accompany each of the association of modalities, but all modalities are spectacles that have a transparent front panel with single or dual lenses (which can be transparent or inked for protection against sunlight and reflections and / or for protection of the eyes during welding) which is supported on the head of a user by a bridge in the nose and by when less an earphone or ear plug that is received inside the shell of the ear or the user and / or inside the ear canal. The earphone or earplug is attached to a rear end of its respective arm of the eyeglasses, and, unlike the prior art, the headphone pin or the earplug is not supported on the ear of the user, only it is supported by the earphone or the ear plug received inside the ear of the user without having any portion of the corresponding pin extending over the ear of the user. Preferably both lugs are only supported by their respective rear earphone or ear plug received inside the respective ear of the user, but some embodiments of the invention have a first lug on one side of the earmuff with the earplug or earphone supported only by receiving the earphone or earplug inside the ear of the user and, on the other side of the earmuff, has a second conventional well-known pin supported on the ear of the user, without earphone or earplug. The headphones of some modalities sealingly and protectively cover the ear canal of the user and thus protect the user's hearing. Some embodiments of the present invention have a microphone, either a microphone mounted on an arm or an ear microphone; some embodiments of the present invention have audio headphones to reproduce sound from a source of audio signals; and some embodiments of the present invention have both a microphone and audio headphones to provide two-way communication for the user. The audio headphones can either cover the user's ear canal in a sealing and protective manner or they can rest on the user's shell and on the outer ear. Several attachment elements of the headphones are provided to attach the headphones and earplugs to the earpieces of the glasses. The pins may have sliding length adjustment elements and may have sliding dispersion adjustment elements to selectively fit into various sizes of user heads. The lugs of the various embodiments of the invention are substantially retaining the shape, in contrast to the extensible rope bands, or elastic bands with variable length. The goggle is constructed so that the lugs preferably exert pressure on the earphones and earplugs so that they stop the goggles on the wearer's head during physical activity. It is an object of the present invention to provide spectacle and audio apparatuses that require a user to use both the sight and hearing protection when using the apparatus.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety device for sight and hearing which can be firmly secured in place so that the human can be physically very active at the same time as using the apparatus. It is an object of the present invention to provide a goggle (sun glasses or corrective lenses) and audio (from a separate cell phone, radio, cassette tape, compact disc player, or two-way radio), with a microphone when appropriate, both for recreational and work use. It is an object of the present invention to provide goggles in which at least one lug, and preferably both lugs, are supported from the respective ear of the user only by means of the earphone or the earplug attached to the rear part of the lug, without allowing a portion of the pin to extend over the respective ear of the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION All modalities have common structural similarities, as will be explained and described herein. All modalities are glasses that have a transparent front panel or simple or dual lenses (transparent or inked) for protection against sunlight and reflections and / or for protection of the eyes during welding) which are supported on the user's head by a bridge of the nose and by at least one earphone or plug of hearing that is received inside the shell of the user's ear and / or inside the ear canal. The earphone or earplug is attached to a rear end of its respective eyeglass lug, and, unlike the prior art, the earphone lug or the earplug is not supported on the user's ear, only supported by the earphone or the ear plug received inside the user's ear without having any portion of the corresponding pad extending over the ear of the user. A basic understanding of the external anatomy mu known from the human ear is useful to understand the present invention. Referring to Figure 68, the known human ear E is shown. The outer ear consists of an expanded portion of cartilage called the auricle pavilion or atrium 205, which generally has an ovoid shape. The ear canal C opens within the shell arch 207, which is the spacious cavity formed within the pinna of the ear. The shell is partially separated by opposing protuberances, the tragus 208 and the antitrago 209, separated by a wide notch. The earplugs and the auditory pieces are of various general forms. The so-called ear plugs and "atrial" hearing pieces are inserted into the user's ear canal and substantially block the ear canal. The earplugs the auditory pieces called "semi-earpieces" are partially inserted into the ear canal and also block the entrance of the ear canal in the shell. The ear plugs and the auditory pieces called "supra-headphones" block the entrance to the ear canal and the shell without entering the same ear canal. Yet another form of auditory pieces, an auditory piece with a "support only" cushion that does not block the ear canal but only rests on the shell of the user's ear, can also be used with the different modalities of the present invention. as shown, for example, in Figures 46-48 and 59-60, for supporting the spectacles of the present invention from the ear of the user without blocking the ear canal, as described hereinafter. terms "ear plug" "auditory parts", as used herein, have a scope that encompasses all of these forms of earplugs and earpieces, including the forms of headphones, semi-earphones, supra-headphones, and bearing of comfort solely for support, and the term "auditory piece", as used herein, should be understood to be defined as the generic term for all auditory pieces and earplugs. A different key between the first modalida (shown in Figures 1-9A) and the second and third modes (ie, the improvements shown in the Figures 10-21A) is that the second and third modes provide audio capabilities through the auditory pieces (earphones and earplugs with audio capabilities), while the first modality lacks this audio capability. The three first modalities, however, the glasses are supported from the auditory pieces that are received inside the ear, and no support is provided by any of the supports on the ear as is customary in the glasses of the prior art. A fourth embodiment also described has a lug that includes a loop of the pair ear engaging or linking over one of the user's ears. In accordance with the above, the first embodiment will now be explained referring to Figures 1-9A and the first embodiment is that it comprises a safety device for sight and hearing 20. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the safety apparatus for sight and ear 20 is seen to comprise a front protection portion 22 having a left front protection portion 24 and a right front protection portion 26.

The first and second slits are for securing the front transparent panel 28 as is well known in the art. The elongate member 32 preferably includes the end d of the left front protection portion 24 and the end d portion of the right front protection 26. Further details concerning the construction and operation of the elongated member 32 will be described hereinafter. In addition, referring to Figures 1 and 6, the eye and ear safety apparatus 20 is further comprised of a first ear piece or ear plug 38 and a second ear piece or ear plug 40 for supporting the ear portion. of frontal protection 22 of the respective auditory canal when a human is using the apparatus 20 to protect the sight and the ear of the human. The first second ear plugs 38, 40 are preferably constructed to each have multiple curved elements 42 for engaging in the ear canal. The diameter of each curved element 42 decreases as the particular curved element 42 is located closer to the end that first engages the ear canal. Each ear plug 38, 40 preferably further includes a connecting rod 43 for attaching the ear plugs 38, 40 to the eye and ear safety device 20. Each ear plug 38, 40 is preferably constructed from a well-known rubber material. In addition, referring to Figure 1, the sight and ear safety apparatus 20 is further comprised of a first leg 44 having a first connecting end 46 and a first supporting end 48. The first connecting end 46 is joins the end of the left front protection portion 24, preferably by well-known hinge elements such as a first hinge of 50. The first ear plug 38 is attached to the first leg 44, preferably adjacent the first support end 48. The first tab 44 is constructed to have a shape so that the first ear plug 38 can be inserted into the human left ear canal so that the first ear plug 38 will support the front shield portion 22 when it is inserted. inside the left human auditory canal.
In addition, referring to Figure 1, the sight and ear safety apparatus 20 is further comprised of a second leg 52 having a second link 54 and a second support end 56. The second end 54 joins the end of the right front protection portion 26, preferably by well-known hinge elements, such as a second hinge 58. The second ear plug 40 is attached to the second leg 52, preferably adjacent the second support end 56. The second tab 52 is constructed to have a shape so that the second ear plug 40 can be inserted into the human right ear canal and so that the second ear plug 40 will support the front shield portion 22 when it is inserted into the ear. the human right ear canal. The first and second ear plugs 38, 40 the bridge portion 30 operate to support the front shield portion 22 on the human head. The bridge portion 30 supports the front protection portion 22 on the human nose. When inserted into the left ear canal, the first earplug 38 supports the first tab 44, preferably adjacent the first support end 48. The first tab 44 is attached to the end of the left front protection portion 24 so that the first ear plug 38 supports the left side of the front shield portion 22. Similarly, the second ear plug 40 supports the second leg 52, preferably adjacent the second support end 56. The second leg 52 is attached to the end of the right front protection portion 26 so that the second ear cap 40 supports the right side of the front protection portion 22. Preferably, the first and second legs 44, 52 are formed so that the first and the second support ends 48, 56 move laterally towards each other, so that the first and second ends d support 48, 56 move lower than the respective ends the first and second junction 46, 54, and that the first and second support ends 48, 56 are at a slightly upward angle to facilitate placing the first 38 and the second 40 ear plugs in the respective ear canals of the human Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the elongate member 32 is preferably elastic so as to allow the front shield portion 22 to flex slightly outwards in response to a pressure applied outwardly while the apparatus 20 is being placed or removed from the body. the head of the human. While on the human's head, the elasticity of the elongate member 32 creates an inward pressure respectively on the ends of the right left front protection portion 24, 26, and this inward pressure is transmitted along the first and second sideburns. 44, 52 to comfortably secure the first and second ear plugs 38, 40 in the respective ear canals. The elongate member 32 is preferably constructed from a well-known elastic material such as, for example, plastic. The first and second tabs 44, 52 are elastic, and transmit the inward pressure created by the elasticity of the elongated member 32 toward the rear portions of the tabs 88, 124 which, in turn, exert an inwardly directed force that acts through the ear plugs 38, 40 (ie, forcing the earplugs 38, 40 toward each other through the user's head), with the force directed inwardly through the stopper the ear preferably being at least about one Newton (approximately 3.6 ounces and Avoirdupois) and with the force directed into each ear plug, preferably about 6 ounces Avoirdupois (1.67 Newtons) so as to comfortably secure the glasses on the wearer's head during physical activity. If the auditory piece 38, 40 is auricular, semi-auricular, or supra-auricular earplug, then this force also seals the plug of the ear in the ear canal. Preferably, the bridge portion 30, the ear plug prime 38, and the second ear plug 40 provide the sole means of supporting the front shield portion 22 when the human is using the apparatus 20 to protect the sight and the ear of the human The sight and hearing safety apparatus 20 does not require the legs 44, 52 to include portions for supporting the apparatus 20 at the top of the ears, nor does the apparatus 20 require a tape to support the apparatus 20 around the back of the human head. If the first second ear plugs 38, 40 are removed and the apparatus 20 is used by the human, the first and second support ends 48, 56 will apply an uncomfortable pressure against the ears of the human, thus discouraging the use of the apparatus 20 without the first and second ear plugs 38, 40. Additionally, without the first and second ear plugs 38, 40, the front safety portion 22 will not be firmly secured in place as is the case when the first and second ear plugs 38, 40 are inserted into the respective human ear canals. Referring to Figures 1, 5, and 6, the first tab 44 preferably includes a first attachment element of the first ear plug 38 to the first tab 44. The first attachment element preferably comprises a first opening 60 extending to through the first leg 44 adjacent the first support end 48.

Now that the first embodiment of the invention has been explained, the improvements of the second, third, and fourth modes can be described. A second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 10 and 12-21A, co ID designators designated in a manner similar to the first embodiment, except with the prefix "2." In the same way, a third preferred modality is shown in Figure 11, with the identification reference designators marked similar to the first second modality., except, the prefix "3." It should be understood that many aspects of the first, second, third modes are substantially the same, and only the differences will be discussed in detail. Referring now to Figures 10-21A, the second and third embodiments 2.20 and 3.20 are seen to have a front portion 2.22 or 3.22, respectively, each including a front transparent panel 2.28 or 3.28, respectively, to protect the human's view . As shown in Figure 10, the front transparent panel 2.28 of the second embodiment may be a well-known protective glass or plastic similar to the well-known "safety glasses", as described hereinabove for the first embodiment 20, and this protective panel 2.28 can also be inked or biased, in a manner known to those skilled in the art, for the protection of the user's eyes and some unwanted portions of the spectrum. It should be understood that the second embodiment can also, if desired, include the left and right side transparent safety panels of the first embodiment, but are not shown in Figure 10. As shown in Figure 11, the front transparent panel 3.28 of the third modality 3.20 may instead have well-known corrective lenses that can also be inked or biased to protect the user's eyes while correcting the user's vision.
The transparent front panels 2.28, 3.28 d the second and third modes include the ends of the left front portions 2.24, 3.24, respectively, the ends of the right front portions 2.26, 3.26, respectively, with a left leg, 2.44 or 3.44, respectively attached to the end of the respective left front portion 2.24 or 3.24. It will be understood that the second and third modalities also include a right patill 2.52 or 3.52, respectively, and, due to similarities between the left and right side of each modality, a description of the left leg alone will be sufficient for both, it being understood that similar features on the right side, they will simply be a mirror image of the same characteristics on the left side. However, it will be understood that the optional and retractable microphone extension arm, described hereinabove, needs to be included only in one of the pins. The pins 2.44 and 3.44 include a left-shape retention member of substantially fixed length 2.94 or 3.94, respectively, and, due to the substantial similarity between the retention members of form 2.94 and 3.94, a description of one, given below in the present, it will be enough pair both.
The second and third modalities 2.20 and 3.20 also include the left auditory pieces 2.38 or 3.38, respectively, and the right auditory pieces 2.40 or 3.40, respectively, it will be understood that these auditory pieces can be "mixed and coupled" to meet the particular needs of the user. A common feature of an improvement of the second and third embodiments of the present invention is that at least one of the left and right auditory parts of these embodiments include elements of hearing aids, such as the well-known hearing aid elements 2.204, to convert a signal electrical in an audible sound. The left and right auditory pieces are adapted to support the front portion of the apparatus of the respective left and right auditory channels of the human when the human is using the apparatus, in a manner described hereinafter, not having the second and third modalities elements to support the apparatus of the human ears other than the left and right auditory parts. In other words, contrary to what is known in the prior art devices, there is no support portion of the respective pins passing over the ear of the user to support the apparatus. As shown in Figures 10, 11, and HA, the auditory pieces 2.38, 2.40, 3.38, 3.40, and 3.40 'have many similar characteristics, and the proper choice of auditory piece can be made by the user. Although the auditory parts shown in Figures 10 and 11 all include elements of hearing aids for converting an electrical signal into a sound, the elements of hearing aids are communicating through a longitudinal gap (for example, hole 2.203 or 3.203, respectively) through them to the respective left or right auditory canal of the user, there are variations in the auditory pieces. For example, the auditory part 3.40 is similar to the ear plug 40 of the first embodiment because it is received plug-like in the user's ear canal to substantially block the external noises of the transmission to the ear of the user, thereby protecting the ear. audition of the user. However, unlike the earplug 4 of the first embodiment, the auditory part 3.40 includes hearing aid elements within its retaining element 3.156 that is removably received in the auditory part 3.40 in a manner similar to the removable receiver of the element. of retention 156 in the ear plug 40. In this way, the auditory part 3.40 acts not only as a protective ear plug, blocking the extreme noises of the user's ear, but also acts as a hearing aid, while continuing to allow the securing piece 3,150 s to detach for safety from the auditory part 3.40 in a manner described hereinabove. As in the first embodiment, the auditory part 3.40 preferably makes soft, flexible rubber or high density foam d so as to sealingly seal the user's ear canal from external noises. The auditory pieces 2.38, 2.40, and 3.38 are substantially the same, and a description of the auditory part 2.38 will be sufficient for all of them. The common characteristic of the auditory pieces 2.38, 2.40, 3.38 is that they do not cover the user's ear of the external sounds, but allow these sounds to pass not being received in a sealing way and in the user's ear canal, but are retained in the external ear of the user in the mouth of the auditory canal. The retention of the auditory piece 2.38 within the ear of the user can be explained by referring to Figures 12 and 13. As is well known from human anatomy, in front of a bowl or shell 2.207 of the ear E projecting backwards on the ear. Meato is a small peak eminence, the 2.208 drink. Opposed to drink 2.208, separated from it by a deep notch, is a minor tuberculum called the antitrag 2.209. As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the auditory piece 2.38 rests in the shell or shell 2.207 in the mouth of the ear canal C of the user, is held in place by the protuberances of cartilage flag of trago 2.208 and the antitrago 2.209 d the ear of the user E. The cover of the auditory piece 2. It is preferably made of soft, flexible rubber, or low density foam to provide long lasting comfort for the wearer while allowing sounds and noises from outside to be heard. Referring again to Figures 10-11 to Figures 14-21A, further details of the improvements of the third and second embodiments can now be described. The auditory part 2.38 includes a connecting rod 2.43 for joining the auditory part 2.38 to its retention member in a respective manner in fixed relation thereto. The connecting rod 2.43 has a plurality of longitudinally spaced holding portions, for example, the grasping portions 2.210 and 2.212 for longitudinally adjusting the inside-out position of the auditory part 2.38. The retaining member in deformable form of substantially fixed length 2.94 includes gripping elements 2.214, similar to the C-shaped hold on the supporting end 48 of the first embodiment, for selectively coupling one of holding portions 2.210, 2.212, etc. ., of the connecting rod 2.43 com is shown especially in Figure 14. »The holding element 2.214 includes a first and a second opposing fingers 2.215 2.216 which form a transverse opening 2.60 extending through the first leg 2.44 adjacent to the first end of support 2.48 with a first groove 2.62 between the opposite fingers 2.215 and 2.216 through which the selected assiming portion 2.210, 2.212, etc., of the connecting rod 2.43 of the auditory part 2.38 can be forced so that s secure in the first opening 2.60 in the chosen position When secured in the opening 2.60, the hearing part 2.38 is preferably attached to the retaining member in deformable form 2.94 of the first leg 2.44 in a first predetermined fixed junctional point along the length of the first leg 2.44. However, the inwardly outward transverse position of the auditory part 2.38 can be adjusted by moving the grasping element 2.214 from one grasping portion 2.210 to another grasping portion 2.21 as shown in Figure 14. Different hold causes the 2.38 s auditory part to move inward and outward, as desired, to hold the device in place and to be comfortably received inside the user's ear. When the first auditory part 2.38 is secured within the aperture 2.60 the auditory part 2.38 can be removed by forcing the connecting vase 2.43 of the first auditory part 2.38 toward afuer through the first slot 2.62. The removed auditory piece 2.38 can then be attached by a different hold portion 2.210, 2.212, etc., as necessary. It should further be understood that one of the auditory pieces of the second or third modalities could lack the hearing aid element, if desired, and simply cover the ear of the user in a manner similar to the function of the earplug provided by the earplugs 38 or 40 of the first embodiment, although these ear plugs would preferably still have the longitudinally separated assimilar portions described hereinbefore. See, for example, the earplug 3.40 'of the third embodiment thus modified 3.20' as shown in Figure HA, as compared to Figure 11. Likewise, the earplug / hearing aid 3.40 of Figure 11 has portions of longitudinally separated seizures similar to those described hereinabove for the auditory part 2.38 so as to allow an inward outward adjustment similar to the position of the auditory part 3.40. At least one of the pins can include 2.218 microphone boom elements to place a well-known microphone 2.220 in the vicinity of the human's boc while the human is using the 2.20 device. Preferably, the element of the microphone boom 2.218 is received reciprocatingly within the pin 2.44, preferably being received in the rear leg portion 2.88 of the retaining member in deformable form 2.94. The 2.218 mic extendable arm element has a proximal end 2226 and a curved distal extremity 2.228, with the remote tip 2,230 of the distal extremity 2,228 including a well-known microphone 2,220 to receive a voice from a person and transform it into an electrical signal. The 2.220 microphone electrical signal travels along the 2.232 microphone wire to a 2.234 junction connector. Likewise, the electrical signal to the hearing aid 2.38 and 2.40 also travel along the hearing aid wires 2.238 and 2.239 to the junction box 2.234. A well-known multiple-contact male electrical plug 2.236 is received in a coupled electrical connector 2.237 in the connecting connector 2.234, and provides the electrical connection ,, through the multi-connector wires 2.235, the second multiple contact male electrical plug 2.241 to a well-known electronic audio element 2.24 (such as, for example, a cell phone, radio receiver, cassette tape, compact disc player, two-way radio, well-known, etc.). The microphone extension arm element 2,218 is preferably reciprocally received within the rear portion 2.88 of the pin 2.44, and the substantially straight proximal end 2226 slides within the longitudinal recess or cavity 2.246 formed inside the rear portion 2.88. as shown especially in Figures 17-21A. When it is in the fully retracted position shown in Figure 18, the curved distal end 2.228 is received snugly in a recess 2.248 inside the knee 2.222 of the rear portion 2.88 and they stay slightly inside it by a pair of opposing spikes 2.249 that extend from both sides of the 2.248 hue. The proximal end 2226 of the extensible arm member of the microphone 2.218 is retained within a lower portion of the longitudinal recess or cavity 2.24 by a pair of opposing ribs 2.250 extending from either of the two inner sides of the recess 2.246, with a gap between them. the ribs 2,250 to allow the wire 2,232 to pass therethrough so that the wire 2,232 is allowed to track the wobble arm element extension of the 2.218 microphone. When in an extended position as shown in Figure 10, for example, the extendable arm of microphone 2.218 is then rotated (compare Figures 20 and 2 with the rotated position shown in Figures 20A and 21A) d way of placing the 2.220 microphone in a region near the user's mouth. As the extendable microphone arm 2,218 rotates, a radially extending cam 2.24 at the proximal end 2226 of the extendable arm 2,218 contacts a sidewall of the longitudinal recess 2.24 (see Figure 21A) so as to retain the extendable arm 2.218 secured in the rotated and extended position To retract the extendable arm of the microphone, first s rotate in the opposite direction and then slide oscillatingly on the portion of the 2.88 pin as shown in Figure 18. Each of pins 2.94 and 2.52 includes horizontal adjustment elements, 2.66 and 2.102 respectively, which are variants of the first and second horizontal adjustment elements 66 and 102, respectively, d the first mode. The horizontal adjustment element 2.1 and 2.102 are substantially equal, with mirror images of each other, and a description of the adjustment element 2.66 will be sufficient for both. Referring especially to Figures 10 16, and 19, the horizontal adjustment element 2.66 comprises a front leg portion 2.68 and a rear foot portion 2.88. The front leg portion 2.6 is preferably constructed in the form of a sleeve having a substantially rectangular cross section inside of which the back leg portion 2.88 is slidably received, and further comprises a first joint end 2.46, a first end of receiving 2.70 and a prime channel 2.72 extending longitudinally from the first receiving end 2.70 into the first front leg portion 2.68. The first back leg portion 2.88 includes a first retention member in deformable form 2.94 having a first arm 2.90 slidably received in the first channel 2.72. Contrary to the first embodiment showing a plurality of holes in the first arm 90 with a pin that extends removably through them, the first arm 2.90 of the second embodiment has a plurality of concave dimples 2254 along one side thereof to receive the convex protuberance 2258 located on the inner surface of the channel 2.72. When the arm 2.90 is slidably inserted into the receiving end 2.70 of the front leg portion 2.68, the arm 2.90 extends towards the first channel 2.72 and one of the concave dimples 2.254 is perfectly coupled by the convex protuberance 2.258, causing by this the rear pin portion 2.88 is maintained in the selected and desired horizontal position. The horizontal length of the first leg 2.44 and the horizontal position of the first auditory part 2.38 can be changed as desired by pulling or pushing the first arm 2.90, thereby forcing the convex protuberance 2.258 to deform the wall of the leg portion 2.68 and then it is coupled with another concave dimple 2,256 in a different selected horizontal position. To provide additional rigidity to the 2.90 arm as it slides slidable within the channel 2.72 during the adjustment, the internal stiffness wire 2.100 of the retaining member of the 2.94 shape can be extended to the 2.90 arm as shown in Figure 19. A fourth embodiment 4.20 of the improvements d the present invention is shown in Figure 22, with the identification reference designators marked d similarly to the first, second, and third modes except with the prefix "4". It should be understood that many aspects of the first, second, third, and fourth modalities are substantially the same, and only the differences will be discussed in detail. The fourth embodiment 4.20 includes a front transparent panel 4.28 similar to one of the front transparent panels 2.28 or 3.28, described above in detail, it being understood that panels 2.28 or 3.28 could be used interchangeably with the fourth embodiment. The fourth mode 4.20 includes a first leg, here shown as the right leg 4.52, the right leg 4.52 having a very well known ear loop element 4.270 for hooking or looping on a first ear (here, the right ear) of the user, and the right pad 4.52 preferably include a horizontal adjusting element 4.102, substantially similar to the horizontal adjustment elements 2.102 and 2.66, described hereinabove, for horizontal sliding fit of pin 4.52. The fourth mode 4.20 includes the second leg, here shown as the left leg 4.44, which is substantially equal to the leg 2.44 of the second mode and which includes an auditory piece 4.38 with an included hearing aid element. It should be understood that the auditory piece 4.38 may either be similar to the hearing aid piece 2.38, described hereinabove, or to the ear piece of ear plug hearing aids 3.40, described hereinabove, with a similar connection to the pin. 4.44. It will be noted that, while the tab 4.52 is supported from the first ear of the user by the ear loop 4.270, the other tab 4.44 does not have an element to support the fourth mode 4.20 of the second ear of the user other than the auditory part 4.38 . A fifth preferred embodiment 5.20 is shown in Figures 23-63 and 67, with identification reference designators marked similarly to the above embodiments, except with the prefix "5." it should be understood that many aspects of all modalities are substantially the same, and that only differences will be discussed in detail. Figures 23-32 show the common characteristics of all the variations of the fifth modality. Figures 33-41 show variations to the rear end of the legs of the fifth embodiment. Figures 42-55 show variations of the auditory pieces / earplugs and variations in the assembly and adjustment of the auditory pieces, while Figures 56-58 show a variation of the fifth mode in which the audio auditory pieces and an ear microphone can be used with the fifth mode. The glasses 5.20 of the fifth embodiment comprise a front protection portion 5.22 which includes an elastic elongate member or portion for the front frame front 5.32 and a first and second legs 5.44, 5.52 that are slidably joined to the portion of the forehead 5.32. The front end 5.46, 5.54 of the pads 5.44, 5.52 is slidably received in the front portion of the frame 5.32 by a first and second extension and pin length adjustment elements 5.158, 5.160 to adjust the length and extension of the pins so that they accommodate different physical characteristics of different users and to provide convenience for users. The length adjustment and extension element of pin 5,158, 5,160 are for selectively adjusting an extension distance 5,196 between pins 5.44, 5.52 and are for selectively adjusting a distance of length 5,198, 5,199 between the front transparent panel 5.28 and the rear ends 5.48, 5.46 of the first and second pins 5.44, 5.52 as the pins are slidably received for selective adjustment on the front 5.32. The rear ends 5.48, 5.56 of the portions of the rear legs 5.88, 5.124 of the pins 5.44, 5.52 have a hearing piece or earplug 5.38, 5.40 attached thereto away from the front protection portion 5.22, in a more described manner. hereinafter, and the ear piece or ear plug 5.38, 5.40 is received inserted in the ear E of the user, as shown, for example in Figure 67, preferably inside the ear canal C or shell 207 from the ear of the user, thereby supporting the headset 5.20 on the head of the user without having rear portions on the ear of the pin, as best shown in Figure 67. A single lens or dual lenses (transparent or inked) are mounted from the transparent panel to the portion of the front 5.32 by preferably being received in a slot or slots 5,260 in the front portion 5.32 as shown especially in Figure 32. The lenses of the trans front spacer 5.28 and glasses 5.20 are supported on the user's nose by a nose piece or bridge portion 5.30 attached to the front transparent panel lens 5.28. The auditory piece or ear plug 5.38, 5.40, by receiving it in the ear of the user, thus supports its pin 5.44, 5.52 on the user's head without having any corresponding leg portion extending over the user's ear. The two pins 5.44, 5.52 are substantially mirror images of one another, and a description of an interconnection with the front portion of 5.32 will suffice for both. Also, the structures of the extension and length adjustment elements of the first and second pins 5.158, 5.160 are substantially mirror images of one another, and a description of one will suffice for both. Referring to Figures 30-32, the first extension and pin length adjustment element can now be described. The front end 5.46 of the tab 5.44 is constructed as a curled sleeve having a downwardly opening slot 5.182 to allow the front transparent panel or lens 5.28 to slide longitudinally therethrough. A substantially similar slot 5.182 can be seen in Figure 85, which shows a bottom view of a pin of the seventh embodiment, described later herein. The front end 5.46 of the pin 5.44 is slidably received on the portion of the front 5.32. To minimize twisting or rotation of pin 5.44, the inner part of the front end of pin 5.44 has a pair of ribs 5.262, 5264 which run longitudinally in of the tab 5.44 and extend radially inward so that they fit and are received in a tight fashion in the longitudinal slots of coupling 5,280, 5,282 inside the front piece 5.32 as the pin 5.44 is received Sliding on the piece of the forehead 5.32. The portion of the forehead piece 5.32 has dimples 5.160 on its back side that selectively embody and extend toward the respective forward adjustment apertures 5.166, 5.168 of the pins 5.44, 5.52. By longitudinally sliding the pins 5.44, and 5.52 with respect to the portion of the front piece 5.32, the dimples "5.170 will selectively be fitted with their respective adjustment apertures, thereby providing the selected adjustment positions. adjustment 5.158, 5.160 for pins 5.44, 5.52 allow adjustment of the extension and horizontal length of pins 5.44, 5.52 to accommodate the different physical characteristics of the user's head.It should be understood that the front ends 5.46, 5.54 of the pins 5.44, 5.52 are similarly bent to coincide and slidably received on the portion of the front piece 5.32 The pins 5.44, 5.52 are preferably formed so that the rear ends 5.46, 5.48 are moved inwardly and a towards the other and below the portion of the forehead piece 5.32, and are also slightly angled towards the front. ba to facilitate the placement of the auditory pieces 5.38, 5.40 in the ears of the user. This structural alignment and the formation of the legs supported by the shell is common to all embodiments of the present invention. The earplugs or the hearing pieces 5.38, 5.40 are received on a tongue 5.184, 5.186 in the respective rear portions 5.88, 5.124 of the pins 5.44, 5.52, preferably having the tabs 5.184, . 186 elongated tips 5,188, 5,190 to retain the respective earplugs or auditory pieces therein. It should be understood that the ear pieces / earplugs 5.38 and 5.40 shown in Figure 24 are shown in dotted outline to reveal the hidden structure of the tongue on which the auditory pieces are received. It should further be understood that the ear pieces / earplugs 5.38 and 5.40, as well as the tabs 5.184 and 5.186, are only variants of the tabs and auditory pieces that can be used with the fifth embodiment, other variations are described below. Figures 33-41 show the variation of the rear end of the pins of the fifth embodiment. It should be understood that all of these variations apply equally to both the left and right pin, with the form of variation for the right legs as a mirror image of the left legs shown in Figures 33-41, and, for this reason, A description of the left patill of variations will suffice for the right pin shapes of the pin variations. It should further be understood that the ends of the front leg of all these variations are identical to coincide with the portion of the front piece 5.32 as described hereinabove for pin 5.44. A first variation of pin 5.44A is shown in Figures 33-37. The rear portion 5.88A of pin 5.44A has a fixed non-adjustable spherical tip 5.188A on tongue 5.184A on which an auditory pie 5.38A having a spherical cavity through a recess opening opening is received 5.268A , thereby enabling the 5.38A auditory part to be slightly and adjustably "rocked" in proper comfortable alignment as the headset is placed on the user's head with the hearing piece 5.38A resting on the shell of the user's ear.
Figures 38-41 show three alternative lugs 5.44B, 5.44C, and 5.44D that allow the lug to be supported on the ear in a conventional manner. These alternative lugs may be provided when, for some reason such as allowing the use of a telephone together with the present invention, it is only desired that one lug rest on, not on, the ear, with the other lug supported on the upper part of the ear. ear. Figure 38 shows a side view and Figure 39 shows a top view of an alternative tab 5.44B. The rear portion 5.88B of pin 5.44B is looped over and down behind the ear. Figure 40 shows a side view of an alternative 5.44C pin. The back portion 5.88C of the 5.44C pin rests above the ear adjacent to the scalp. Figure 40 shows a side view of an alternative tab 5.44B. The rear portion 5.88B of pin 5.44B is hooked on and down behind the ear. The present invention requires that when one of the pins is not supported on the ear and is instead received inside the shell of the respective ear and, with some variations of earplugs or auditory pieces, inside the ear canal. Figures 42-55 show variations of auditory pieces / earplugs and variations of the assembly and adjustment of the auditory parts. It should be understood that all these variations apply equally to both the left and right sideburns, with the form of variation for the right sideburns being a mirror image of the left sideburst shapes shown in Figure 42-55, and, for this reason, a description of the left leg variation forms will suffice for the shapes of the right leg variations. The first mounting element of the preferred hearing part 5,252 is that shown in Figures 23-29, 42-44, 46, and 53. In this first preferred variation, the rear end 5.48 of pin 5.44 has an elongated gap 5.60 at through which the same one in which cylindrical poles are received 5.43the cylindrical post 5.43 having a circumferential edge 5.272 around it that fits with an internal circumferential groove 5.274 inside the gap 5.60. A. 5.184 angled tongue having a pointed tip 5.188 sits on top of a truncated cone base 5.276, the truncated cone base 5.276 having an upper plane 5.278 which is perpendicular to the axis of the tongue 5.184 and preferably angled at a non-zero planar angle so that the tongue 5.184 is not perpendicular to the pole axis 5.43. An earplug or ear piece 5.38 may be received on the tab 5.184 as shown in Figure 53. It should be understood that by rotating the post 5.43 within the gap 5.60 (compare Figure 42 with Figure 43), the angle of the 5.184 tongue can be adjusted for comfort inside the ear of the user. Figure 45 shows a variation of the mounting element of the auditory part in which the tab 5.184A has a spherical tip 5.188A for receiving the earplugs and the auditory parts of the type shown in Figures 54 and 55. In this way , the variation is as shown in Figures 42-44. Figures 47 and 48 show a variation of the mounting element of the auditory part in which it is not desired to plug or block the ear canal, and a comfortable bearing is received "only of support" or auditory piece of disc 5.43B having only a 5.272B circumferential rim without any truncated cone base and no tongue inside the 5.60 hollow to allow the goggles to be worn comfortably on the head and for the lug to terminate in the ear shell without plugging the ear canal. All variations of the assemblies of the auditory parts shown in Figures 42-48 are preferably constructed of elastic plastic. Figures 49-55 show variations of the ear pieces and the ear plugs. It should be understood that all these variations apply equally to their use on both the left and right sideburns, with the form of variation of the right sideburns being an image in the mirror of the shapes of the left sideburns shown in Figures 49-55, and, for this reason, a description of the forms of variations of the left temple will be sufficient for the forms of variations of the right temple. Figures 49-51 show a first version of an earplug 5.38 that would be used to enter and sealingly lock the user's ear canal. The earplug 5.38 is generally conical and is symmetrically cylindrical, having a blunt nose 5269 and a slight cavity 5.266 for reception coupled with the tip 5.188 of the tongue 5.184 as shown in Figure 53. It will be understood that, since the plug for ear 5.38 it is forced on tongue 5.184 tip 5.188 drills displacement ear plug 5.38 until ear plug 5.38 is completely received on tongue 5.184 as shown in Figure 53. Figure 52 is a cross section of a 5.38B variant of the ear plug 5.38. The only difference between the earplug 5.38B and the earplug 5.38 is that the cavity 5.266B inside the earplug 5.38B extends further into the body of the earplug 5.38B than the cavity 5.66 of the earplug 5.66B does. ear plug 5.38. After placement where the tab 5184, the earplug 5.38B has a substantially similar structure as shown in Figure 53 for the earplug 5.38, although the earplug 5.38B would typically be used over a longer length tab of what the ear plug varies 5.38. Figures 54 and 55 show a cylindrically symmetrical semi-circular ear plug 5.38C as it would be used to only partially enter the eternal ear canal and sealingly lock the entrance to the ear canal in the shell. The 5.38C ear plug is seen to have a relatively shallow cavity 5.266C, and thus would be convenient for use with a tongue of relatively shorter length than would be the ear plug 5.38B. For all earpieces and earplugs shown in Figures 34-36 and 49-55, earplugs / earplugs are easily discarded for sanitary reasons or glasses 5.20 are allowed to be shared between different people, and only the material of the earplug / auditory piece is discarded. Figures 59-63 show variations of the ear pieces and the earplugs in which the ear piece or earplug is integrated with the cylindrical post with circumferential edge. In all the variations shown in Figures 59-63 it should be noted that the cylindrical body is placed outside the axis of the auditory piece / earplug so that rotation of the cylindrical post allows fine adjustment of the placement of the auditory part. ear plug inside the ear of the user due to the orbital movement of the auditory part / ear plug around the axis of the cylindrical post as the cylindrical post is rotated axially within the gap 5.60. It should be understood that all of these variations apply equally to their use with both the left and right sideburns, with the shape of variation of the right sideburns being a mirror image of the left leg shapes shown in Figures 59-63, and , for this reason, a description of the forms of variations of the left temple will be sufficient for the forms of variations of the right temple. Figures 59 and 60 show a variation of the mounting element of the auditory part in which plugging or blocking of the auditory canal is not desired, and a comfortable "support only" bearing or 5.38D hearing piece disc having a cylindrical pole 5.43D with only one circumferential edge 5.272D and no truncated cone base and no tongue inside hole 5.60 to allow the goggles to be worn comfortably on the head and for the lug to terminate in the shell of the ear without plugging the ear canal. "" Because the disk is outside the axis of the 5.43D post, the rotation of the 5.43D post inside the 5.60 hole allows the disk to be adjusted for comfort. Figure 61 shows a cylindrically symmetrical semi-ear ear plug 5.38E which is molded around the cylindrical post 5.43E with a circumferential edge 5.272E. Because the 5.38E ear cap is off the 5.43E post shaft, rotating the 5.43E post inside the 5.60 hole allows the earplug to fit for comfort. Figures 62 and 63 show two similar symmetrical cylindrical earplugs 5.38F and 5.38G that differ only in the conical shape and thickness. Because ear plugs 5.38F, 5.38G are off the axis of their respective poles 5.43F, 5.43G, the rotation of poles 5.43F, 5.43G inside the 5.60 hole allows the earplugs to be adjusted for comfort . Figures 56-58 show a variation of the fifth mode in which auditory pieces with audio headphones and an ear microphone with the fifth mode can be used. As with the second, third and fourth modalities, it will be understood that the auditory pieces of audio hearing aids can be mixed and matched with other variants of auditory pieces so that none, one or both of the auditory pieces could have auditory pieces of sound. audio headphones. Likewise, none, one or both of the auditory pieces could have an ear microphone as described hereinafter although Figures 56-58 show the exemplary situation where both auditory pieces are auditory pieces with hearing aids. audio and only one of the auditory pieces has an ear microphone. Figures 56 and 58 show a first well-known hearing aid element 5,204 for converting a first electrical signal from a well-known audio source 5,211 into sound within the first hearing piece 5.38H and also showing a second hearing aid element 5.206 for converting a second electrical signal from a well-known audio source 5.211 in sound within the second auditory piece 5.38J. Equally, the first hearing aid hearing aid 5.38K of Figure 57 has a similar well known first hearing aid element within which to convert a first electrical signal from a well-known audio source 5,211 into sound within the first hearing aid hearing aid 5.38 K and also has a second hearing aid hearing aid 5.38L with a second well-known hearing aid element therein for converting a second electrical signal from a well-known audio source 5.211 into sound within the second hearing aid hearing aid 5.38L. It should be understood that the well-known schematic diagram of Figure 58 is sufficient for an understanding of both Figure 56 and 58. All of the hearing aid parts of Figures 56 and 58 have similar mounting posts to receive in, for example, the gap 5.60 as explained hereinabove in detail, it being understood as hereinabove explained that a description of the assembly of the auditory piece for one pin is sufficient for both. As with the auditory parts of Figures 59-63, the mounting posts are preferably off the axis of the hearing aid hearing instruments 5.38H, 5.38J, 5.38K, and 5.38L so as to allow comfortable fit in a manner described. previously in the present. One or both of the auditory hearing aid parts may preferably include a well-known ear microphone 5,220 of the type described in Mauney et al., In United States Patent No. 5,812,659 (issued September 22, 1998), now fully incorporated herein by reference; Konomi, in U.S. Patent No. 4,588,867 (issued May 13, 1986), now fully incorporated herein by reference; and others. This well-known ear microphone is combined with the hearing aid to form a single unit without requiring a microphone mounted on a separate arm.This well-known 5,220 ear microphone also provides an added safety factor over the arm-style microphone. Certain working and recreational environments require communications via telephone, cell phone, two-way radio, intercom, or a public address system. The use of an ear microphone in these situations allows for two-way hands-free communications at the same time as the present invention is used. Preferably, the ear microphone 5,220 is mounted within a conical housing as shown outside the edge or hearing aid and on the mounting post of the auditory part as shown to pass through the gap 5.60 during the joining of the element. of mounting the auditory part therein, and the ear microphone signal 5,220 passes over the wires to the well-known amplifier 5,213 for amplification therethrough in a manner well known to those skilled in the art. The ear microphone 5,220 acoustically isolates the hearing aid from the auditory part of the microphone, in a manner well known to those skilled in the art, so that feedback is avoided. The hearing aid hearing aid 5.38H is substantially identical to the hearing aid hearing aid 5.38J, except that the hearing aid hearing aid 5.38J does not have an ear microphone 5.220. Likewise, the 5.38K hearing aid hearing aid is substantially identical to the 5.38L hearing aid hearing aid, except that the 5.38L hearing aid hearing aid does not have an ear microphone 5.220. The hearing pieces of 5.38H and 5.38J hearing aids can be either well-known supra-aricular shape that fits inside the shell without entering the ear canal or can be of the well-known constitution that combines the benefits of noise attenuation of an ear plug with the introduction of audio in the user's ear canal. The 5.38K and 5.38L hearing aids are similar to the hearing instruments of 5.38H and 5.38J hearing aids except that the 5.38K and 5.38L hearing aids are full-ear speakers that fit within the entire ear and have a Retention extension portion 5,290 which is made in size and fits within the user's shell. The larger surface area of the 5.38K and 5.38L hearing instruments compared to 5.38H and 5.38J provides additional comfort for the user and allows a larger diaphragm for the ear speaker, thereby producing better reproduction quality of audio All variants of earplugs or earpieces 5.38, 5.40, with the exception of the comfort bearing for "brackets only" or auditory piece of disc 5.43B, are preferably constructed of non-foamed polyvinyl chloride ("PVC") plastisol , although these materials can also be used. As shown in Figures 27 and 53, the fifth embodiment is preferably constructed so that, for sanitary reasons, if the fifth mode of the user's head is removed and placed head-first on a table or a P-plane, or vertical on a table or a plane P ', the upward angle of the earplug or auditory piece 5.38 is such that the auditory piece 5.38 does not make contact with the surface of the table, thereby avoiding the collection of dust and debris on the surface of the auditory piece 5.38 for the future insertion inside the ear of the user when the layers are replaced on the user's head. The seventh embodiment 7.20, described later herein, also has this feature. The first and second pins 5.44, 5.52 are elastic and substantially retain the shape, preferably made of elastic plastic, and transmit the pressure inward created by the elasticity of the portion of the elongated brow piece 5.32 to the temple portions. rear 5.88, 5.124 which, in turn, exert an inwardly directed force acting through the ear plugs 5.38, 5.40 (ie, forcing the earplugs 5.38, 5.40 towards each other through the user's head), with the force directed inwardly through each earplug preferably being at least one Newton (approximately 3.6 Avoirdupois ounces) and with the force directed inward through each earplug preferably being about 6 ounces Avoirdupois (1.67 Newtons) to comfortably secure the spectacles on the wearer's head during physical activity. If the auditory piece 5.38, 5.40 is an ear plug, semi-auricular, or supra-auricular, then this force also seals the earplug in the ear canal. A sixth preferred embodiment 6.20 is shown in Figure 64, 64A and 65-66, with identification reference designators marked similarly to the above embodiments, except with the prefix "6." The sixth preferred embodiment 6.20 uses a well-known forehead piece for front safety portion 6.22 with articulated leg joints 6.50, 6.58, but the links on the legs of the sixth embodiments are constructed so that the legs 6.44, 6.52 are substantially angled down from the horizontal (see Figure 65), in contrast to the substantially horizontal pins of the known mu goggles, so that the lugs may be supported within the ear in the manner of the present invention instead to be supported with the ear as in the glasses of the prior art. As with the first to third embodiments, the sixth embodiment 6.20, comprises a front safety portion 6.22 that includes an elongated elastic member or part portion for the front frame front 6.32 and a first and second temple 6.44, 6.52 attached articulated to the portion of the forehead piece 6.32. The rear ends 6.48, 6.56 of the back leg portions 6.88, 6.124 of the legs 6.44, 6.52 have an audio hearing aid part 6.38, 6.40 joined thereto remote from the front protection portion 6.22. Each auditory part 6.38, 6.40 preferably has a retaining extension portion 6,290 which is made in size and fits within the user's shell, supporting glasses 6.20 thereon on the user's head without having rear portions on the user's head. ear of the lug, as best shown in Fig. 65. The audio auditory pieces 6.38, 6.40 operate in a well-known manner, similar to the auditory pieces 5.38H and 5.38J, described hereinabove, to provide audio sounds. audio for the user. If desired, an alternative back portion 6.88A (see Figure 64A) can be substituted for the back leg portion 6.88, and a back leg portion 6.88A is substantially similar to the back leg portion 6.88 except that the portion of the back leg 6.88A. rear tab 6.88A is provided with a well-known ear microphone 6,220 similar to the ear microphone 5,220 described hereinabove. The single or dual lenses 6.28 (transparent or inked) comprise a transparent front panel and are mounted on the front piece portion 6.32 in a manner well known to those skilled in the art, by securing within the front frame of the glasses, and the lenses 6.28 and glasses 6.20 are supported on the user's nose by a nose piece or bridge portion 6.30 attached to the lenses 6.28. The two pins 6.44, 6.52 are substantially mirror images of one another, and a description of one will suffice for both. The pins 6.44, 6.52 respectively have backward portions 6.88, 6.124 which are respectively slidably received above and on top of the front portions 6.68, 6.104 of the respective pins 6.44, 6.52, and the dimples (for example, the dimples 6.180 for the pin 6.52 and 6.168 for pin 6.44) on the inner side of the front pin portions 6.68, 6,104 selectively engage and extend toward the rearward adjustment openings 6,174, 6,176 on the inner side of the rear portions of the respective lugs 6.88, 6,124.
This first and second element for adjusting the length of the lugs 6.66, 6.102 (which is better seen in Figures 64 and 66), for the respective lugs 6.44, 6.52, allow the adjustment of the length of the lugs 6.44, 6.52 so that allow the 6.38, 6.40 auditory piece to be aligned with the channel of the user's ear or shell, both vertically and horizontally, by adjusting the length distance between the front lenses 6.28 and the rear ends 6.48, 6.56. The auditory pieces 6.38, 6.40 are preferably constructed of polyvinyl chloride plastisol ("PVC") on its inner surface to make contact with the wearer's ear, although other materials may also be used. Joints 6.50, 6.58 of hinges 6.40, 6.52 of the sixth embodiment are constructed to force the tabs slightly inward towards the wearer's head and exert by the same pressure inward to retain the auditory pieces 6.38, 6.40 inside the ear of the user. The first and second pins 6.44, 6.52 are elastic and substantially retain the shape, preferably are made of elastic plastic, and transmit the inward pressure created by the joints and by the elasticity of the portion of the elongated face piece 6.32 to the portions of rear pads 6.88, 6.124 which, in turn, exert an inwardly directed force acting through the auditory pieces 6.38, 6.40 (i.e., forcing the auditory pieces 6.38, 6.40 towards each other through the user's head), the force being directed inwardly through each auditory part preferably of at least about one Newton (approximately 3.6 ounces Avoirdupois) and the force being directed inward through each auditory part preferably of approximately 6 ounces Avoirdupois (1.67 Newtons) so as to comfortably secure the glasses on the user's head during physical activity. If the auditory piece 6.38, 6.40 is an atrial, semiaricular, or supra-auricular auditory piece, then this force also seals the auditory force on the auditory canal. A seventh preferred modality 7.20 is shown in Figure 69-75 and 83-85, marking the identification reference designators similarly to the previous modalities, except with the prefix "7.". An eighth preferred embodiment is shown in Figure 76-82 and 86-88, with the identification reference designators marked similarly to the above embodiments, except with the prefix "8.". It should be understood that many aspects of all modalities are substantially the same, and only the differences will be discussed in detail.
