EYEGLAssEs AND THE LIKE;
Application filed February 28, 1324. Serial No. 695,670.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ALviN L. Liner-1, a citizen of the United. States, residing at Irvington, county of Essex, and the State of New Jersey, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Eyeglasses and the like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in eye glasses and the like, in which two separate articles are connected by a Hat bowed spring, and has as one of its objects to provide means for attaching the spring to the articles in a secure manner but whlch permits their ready removal in case of breakage, repairs, etc.
A further purpose is to produce a spring connection of neat appearance, simple in construction and eflicient in use.
These aims and objects are accomplished by the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying'drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure and in which Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a conventional type of eye glass, showing the applications of the invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary side view of the joint connection.
Figure 8 is a plan view of the same.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary plan view of a modified form of the spring blank.
Figure 6 is a plan view of the blank having its ends coiled.
Figure 7 is a side elevational view of the same.
Although the drawing shows an embodi-' ment specifically adapted to eye glasses, it will be readily understood that the device may be applied to any structure in which a pair of objects are to be attached by the medium of a spring connector providing such relative flexibility as may be desired.
Referring more in detail to the drawing,v
the numeral 10 designates in general a pair of eyeglass frame, runs, one being provided with a cord attaching means 11 and both having opposed grips 12 adapted to engagethe nose and adhere with sufficient tenacity to support the glasses. 4
The upper extended portions 13 of these frames have secured in their eyes, grommets or short cylindrical bushings 14: through which are passed pins 15 used to secure the forked portions 16 of clips 17 the same having registering openings 18 for the pins.
The back 19 of the clips are bent to form parallel sides 20 and their inner portions are infolded as at 21 forming sockets into which are entered the outerportions of the thin, bowed flat spring 22.
These springs may be shaped as shown in Figure 5, in which a stepped portion 22 of reduced width is entered in the socket, in
which case the width of the spring 22 is the same as that of the outside of the clip 17, the shoulders abutting the ends of the clips, or the plain strip, as shown in Figure 6 may be used, the strip entering the socketsas indicated in Figure 3.
In either case extensions 23 reach from the ends of the springs and are coiled to present eyes 24 extending outwardly between the elements 21 and throu h which are threaded the screws 25, their eads 26 being counter-sunk flush or level in one of the sides 20. p
From the foregoing it will be seen that in case of repairs, the screw can be readily removed, releasing the spring, so that it may be replaced in an easy manner, the springs, clips and screws being interchangeable.
Although I have described myimprovements with considerable detail and with respect to certain particular forms of my invention, I do not desire to be limited to such details since 'many changes and modifies: tions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention in its broadest aspect.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination with a pair of eye glass frame rims and a flat bowed spring, of a channelled clip fixed to each rim and having its outer portion in-turned to constitute a socket partially open on one side,
the partially open space in said sockets, and
a screw engaged in each clip to engage with said eyes.
2. The combination with a pair of eye 7 glass frame rims, of a clip'fixed on each rim, the bodies of said clips presenting a channel structure, the outer portions of which are inturned forming a socket, a flat bowed spring having its ends engaged in the sockets, extensions on the ends of the spring coiled to present open cylindrical loops, said extensions being reduced in width to allow the loops to slide between the inturned elements of the sockets into the channel portions ofthe clips, and screws fixed in the side wall of the channels and threaded into said loops.
This specification signed and witnessed this 25th day of February, 1924.
ALVIN L. LE-IBE.
