NOSE GUARD PAD FOR EYEGLASSNES Filed May ll, 1931 EN rRi ATTORNEY.
lPatented Oct. 17, 1933 UNITED STATESV PATENT OFFICE NOSE-GUARD PAD FOR EYEGLASSES Arthur R. Hilsinger. Maplewood, N. J.
Application May 1, 1931. Serial No. 534,183 1 claim. (ci. ias-4s) This invention relates to improvements in eye glasses and has for its particular objects the provision of a nose-guard pad which is simple and inexpensive to construct, of rugged co-nstruction, of neat appearance and which possesses a smooth outer surface that is free from exposed rivets or metal areas and will not cause abrasions or irritations of the skin of the nose of the wearer of eye glasses equipped therewith. Further objects of the invention will hereinafter appear.
My invention is set forth in detail in the following description and drawing forming a part thereof, in which latter,
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a set glasses equipped with my improvement;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged front perspective View and Fig. 3 is an enlarged rear perspective view of a single nose guard equipped with .my improved pad;
Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section of the pad proper;
Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the insert plate, isolated;
Fig. 7 is a perspective View of one of the halves of the plastic shell and Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the other half of said shell or sectional casing; and
Fig. 9 is an elevation of `a modified form of nose-guard equipped with my improved pad.
Referring to the drawing and the construction shown therein, the reference numeral 1 designates the rims of a pair of eye glasses, the same being connected by the usual bridge 2. An arm, comprising either a separate Wire rod of eye 3, or an integral stamped metal arm 3 (see Fig. 9), serves to connect a nose-guard, equipped with my improved pad, to said rim in the usual manner.
The pad proper comprises a metal insert plate 4, preferably having pins or rivet elements 5 either rigidly secured thereto or integral therewith and struck up therefrom, said plate being completely encased within a sectional pyroxylin plastic shell, such as commonly termed in the trade zylonite, pyroxylin, celluloid and under other well known trade names, such shell being preferably formed of two pieces 6 and 6 which, following the insertion of the insert 4 i-n such a position as to leave the rivet members 5 exposed and projecting through apertures a in the cover 6', are cemented together and preferably the cover 6 is also cemented to the insert 4. A second plate 7, having apertures 8 to receive the rivets 5 and having a central aper.
ture 9 to receive the shank of the rod 3 is secured by said rivets 5, when the ends thereof are upset or spun tothe inner face or cover 6 of the said shell. As shown, said plate 7 is preferably provided with a central hump 10 or swollen portion to permit of the reception of the enlarged head 11, on the extreme end of the rod 3, which head serves as an anchorage for the latter rod and secures the same against escape from its position Within said central swollen portion or hump l0, while permitting of slight vrocking movements of the pad with respectV tosaid rod as is usually desirable and customary.
In theconstruction shown in Fig. 9, the arm 3 is shown as being integral with the plate 7', but otherwise the construction of the pad shown in Fig. 9 is identical with that above described.
Obviously, where desired, the outer exposed face of the shell member 6 may be roughedV or scored as indicated in Fig. 2 or the same may be formed smooth as indicated in Fig. 4but it is essential that such surface shall `be unbroken by exposed rivet ends or areas of metal for the reasons above set forth.
While preferably, as stated, the plastic shell is formed of two sections cemented together, the same comprising the hollow member 6 which is recessed to permit ofthe insertion of the plate 4 therein in such a manner that its outer surface will lie flush with the rim of such recess and the-platelike member 6', which is cemented to the marginof said recess and to the exposed face of plate 4. However, without departing from the spirit of my invention,V as embraced within the scope of the claim, the plate 4 may be molded with a plastic shell or casing in such a manner as to have the pins 5 projecting therefrom and various other changesin the construction within the scopeof the claim may likewise be made.
I am aware that the means employed by me to secure my improved pad to the frame of the eye glasses is of well known construction and no claim thereto as such, accordingly is made herein.
Having thus described my invention, vwhat I claim and desire to obtain by United States Letters Patent is:
A pad for an eye glass frame, comprising a metal insert plate having rivet members projecting therefrom and encased in a shellof nonmetallic plastic material formed in two sections, in such a manner that said rivets project through one of said shell sections only, said sections being marginally cemented together and one of said sections being apertured to permit of the projection of said rivet members therethrough, said rivet. members being widely spaced with relation to each other and extending sufficiently beyond the outer face of the shell toI admit of riveting an additional plate-like element of a nose-guard thereto.
ARTHUR R. HILSINGER.
