Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of displays for eyewear.
- Eyewear such as sunglasses and prescription eyewear are marketed through various outlets. Examples include doctors' offices, shopping mall kiosks and retail stores.
- a plurality of eyewear may be placed on a display rack for perusal by customers.
- a display rack would be compact, able to display a plurality of eyewear in a secure and attractive manner, and require minimal maintenance.
- Such a display rack would ideally hold the eyewear securely enough that the eyewear is not easily jostled as to fall out of the display rack, but also so that customers may easily remove, handle and try on the eyewear.
- Conventional display racks display eyeglasses with the temples of the eyeglasses folded or open.
- One style of display rack displays the eyewear in a blister pack which hangs on a rod. This style of display prevents the consumer from trying on the eyewear before purchase.
- Another style of display rack displays the eyewear on trays. The trays often include material that extends above the center of the tray and provides mechanical support for a nose bridge portion of the eyewear. However, accidental jostling of the display can cause the eyewear to fall out of the display.
- Yet another style of display rack includes a hook-shaped member for supporting the bridge portion of the eyewear and slots for receiving the temples. This requires that the eyewear is carefully placed on the rack.
- Another style of conventional display rack omits the bridge support member and, instead, includes a rear panel against which the temples rest.
- the temples are inserted into a pair of rectangular or elongated oval-shaped slots in a flat front panel and are angled downwardly to rest against a flat rear panel which is parallel to the front panel.
- a disadvantage of this type of apparatus is that the temple hinges can fold after being inserted into the slots which prevents the customer from easily removing the eyewear from the display. Also, the eyewear may be easily jostled and has a tendency to fall out of the display. To prevent this, the slots may be made very narrow; however, this would limit the variety of eyewear that may be displayed by the display and makes it more difficult for the customer to reinsert the eyewear back into the display after trying them.
- a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a first panel and a pair of apertures in the first panel for receiving temples of eyewear. Each aperture of the pair of apertures has an inner side that is substantially sloped toward the other aperture.
- a second embodiment of the present invention comprises a first panel, a pair of apertures in the first panel, and a second panel behind at least a portion of the first panel. A portion of the first panel extends in front of the apertures a distance such that when temples of the eyewear are placed in the apertures a hinge portion of the eyewear extends in front of the apertures. A distance between the apertures and the second panel is less then the length of the eyewear displayed in the apparatus.
- a third embodiment of the present invention comprises a first panel, a pair of two apertures in the first panel, and a second panel.
- a front portion of the first panel is in contact with a rear facing portion at the front of the eyewear displayed in the display apparatus.
- the temples of the eyewear are inserted into apertures.
- a back portion of the second panel is in contact with a rear portion of the temples, and the distance between the front portion and the back portion is less than the length of the eyewear.

Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/724,013, filed on Oct. 6, 2005, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to the field of displays for eyewear.
- Eyewear such as sunglasses and prescription eyewear are marketed through various outlets. Examples include doctors' offices, shopping mall kiosks and retail stores. A plurality of eyewear may be placed on a display rack for perusal by customers. Ideally, a display rack would be compact, able to display a plurality of eyewear in a secure and attractive manner, and require minimal maintenance. Such a display rack would ideally hold the eyewear securely enough that the eyewear is not easily jostled as to fall out of the display rack, but also so that customers may easily remove, handle and try on the eyewear.
- Conventional display racks display eyeglasses with the temples of the eyeglasses folded or open. One style of display rack displays the eyewear in a blister pack which hangs on a rod. This style of display prevents the consumer from trying on the eyewear before purchase. Another style of display rack displays the eyewear on trays. The trays often include material that extends above the center of the tray and provides mechanical support for a nose bridge portion of the eyewear. However, accidental jostling of the display can cause the eyewear to fall out of the display. Yet another style of display rack includes a hook-shaped member for supporting the bridge portion of the eyewear and slots for receiving the temples. This requires that the eyewear is carefully placed on the rack. Another style of conventional display rack omits the bridge support member and, instead, includes a rear panel against which the temples rest. The temples are inserted into a pair of rectangular or elongated oval-shaped slots in a flat front panel and are angled downwardly to rest against a flat rear panel which is parallel to the front panel. A disadvantage of this type of apparatus is that the temple hinges can fold after being inserted into the slots which prevents the customer from easily removing the eyewear from the display. Also, the eyewear may be easily jostled and has a tendency to fall out of the display. To prevent this, the slots may be made very narrow; however, this would limit the variety of eyewear that may be displayed by the display and makes it more difficult for the customer to reinsert the eyewear back into the display after trying them.
- Therefore, what is needed is an improved display apparatus for eyewear. It is toward these ends that the present invention is directed.
- The present invention is directed toward a display apparatus for displaying eyewear. A first embodiment of the present invention comprises a first panel and a pair of apertures in the first panel for receiving temples of eyewear. Each aperture of the pair of apertures has an inner side that is substantially sloped toward the other aperture. A second embodiment of the present invention comprises a first panel, a pair of apertures in the first panel, and a second panel behind at least a portion of the first panel. A portion of the first panel extends in front of the apertures a distance such that when temples of the eyewear are placed in the apertures a hinge portion of the eyewear extends in front of the apertures. A distance between the apertures and the second panel is less then the length of the eyewear displayed in the apparatus. A third embodiment of the present invention comprises a first panel, a pair of two apertures in the first panel, and a second panel. A front portion of the first panel is in contact with a rear facing portion at the front of the eyewear displayed in the display apparatus. The temples of the eyewear are inserted into apertures. A back portion of the second panel is in contact with a rear portion of the temples, and the distance between the front portion and the back portion is less than the length of the eyewear.

FIG. 1 illustrates a top view of adisplay apparatus 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. Thedisplay 100 includes afirst panel 102 and asecond panel 104. Thefirst panel 102 and thesecond panel 104 may each be formed from flat pieces of plastic, called blanks. Preferably, the material for eachpanel first panel 102 may be formed from the same or a different material as thesecond panel 104. - The
first panel 102 comprises a substantially flat surface which may be formed from a first blank. Thesecond panel 104 may be formed from a second blank by forming an arc with a radius R from the first blank. The radius R may be measured relative to acentral axis 107 that is parallel to the length of thesecond panel 104 and perpendicular to a horizontal surface upon which thedisplay 100 may be placed. Thecentral axis 107 may lie in acentral plane 108 which is centered relative to the width of thesecond panel 104. In a preferred embodiment, the radius R is approximately 6 inches. However, the radius R may be altered depending upon the size and shape of the eyewear to be displayed. Thus, another radius, such as approximately 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 or more inches, may also be acceptable. Twoparallel flanges 109 of a width A may be formed into the second blank. Thesecond panel 104 may be attached to thefirst panel 102 by tabs formed in thesecond panel 104 that fit into slots formed in the first panel. Alternatively, thepanels second panel 104 may take the shape of a tower. - A plurality of
apertures 106 are present in thesecond panel 104. The apertures are preferably cut from the second blank before the second blank is formed into a radius and the flanges are formed, however, theapertures 106 may be formed between or after these steps.FIG. 2 illustrates a set of twoparallel apertures 106 in thedisplay 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Theapertures 106 are for receiving temples of a pair of eyewear. Each aperture has a width G and includes an angledinner side 110 that is sloped at an angle F towards theother aperture 106. When the temples of a pair of eyewear are inserted into theapertures 106, the temples preferably rest upon the angledinner sides 110 of eachaperture 106. The weight of the eyewear resting on the angledinner sides 110 tends to hold the temples open, inhibiting them from folding closed. Moreover, eyewear of different sizes, having different widths between the temples, can preferably be accommodated since the different widths will cause the temples to rest at various different positions on theinner sides 110. However, at each position, the weight of the eyewear will tend to hold the temples open. The angle F may be 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80 degrees or may take on values between these increments. In a preferred embodiment, the angle F is approximately 45 degrees. The preferred angle may change depending on the shape of the temples of particular eyewear to be displayed, and the width or widths of the eyewear. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the inner side of theaperture 106 is spaced apart from thefirst panel 102. Thus, as shown inFIG. 1 , the temples contact the angledinner sides 110 at a location that is a distance D from thefirst panel 102. As shown inFIG. 1 a distance B separates the locations of contact on theinner sides 110 of theapertures 106. These dimensions can vary. - An outer side of each
aperture 106 may be parallel with thecentral axis 107. Thus, theapertures 106 shown inFIG. 2 are trapezoidal, though this is not necessary. For example, the apertures may be triangular. Additional alternate embodiments of the invention may include alternative shapes. Because the upper and outer portions of theapertures 106 do not tend to contact the temples of the eyewear, variations will not generally interfere with operation of the invention. Also, while theinner sides 110 should be angled, they need not be straight.FIG. 3A -C illustrates alternative embodiments of theapertures 106.FIG. 2 shows a variation on the upper portion of theaperture 106. In addition, theinner side 110 may be a concave, as inFIG. 3B or convex, as inFIG. 3C . For reference, the angle F can be measured at the point that the temple of the eyewear contacts the inner side of theaperture 106. -
FIG. 4 illustratesexemplary eyewear 300 that may be held indisplay 100. A width H of theeyewear 300 is shown inFIG. 4 as a distance between the temples. A distance I between a front inner side of the eyewear and a hinge 303 is also shown inFIG. 4 .FIG. 5 illustratestemple 302 of theeyewear 300 having a length J measured from the hinge to the end of the temple. Thetemple 302 in this particular example ofeyewear 300 is wider at the front portion than at the rear portion and narrows at angle K that varies along the length oftemple 302. The invention will accommodate eyewear of other configurations. - The
eyewear 300 is inserted into thedisplay 100 by inserting thetemples 302 into the twoapertures 106. The weight of theeyewear 300 pushes each of thetemples 302 down on the angled inner sides of eachaperture 106, while the angled inner side of theaperture 106 pushes back on eachtemple 302. The force against thetemple 302 is perpendicular to the angled inner side of theaperture 106. Thus, a portion of the force pushing on thetemple 302 is outward, away from the center of theeyewear 300. In other words, the inner angled side of eachaperture 106 pushes eachtemple 302 away from the center of theeyewear 300, tending to cause eachtemple 302 to remain in an open position. - When the
eyewear 300 is inserted into theapertures 106, thetemples 302 rest on the inner edges of theapertures 106. In addition, thetemples 302 preferably rest against thepanel 102. As a result, theeyewear 300 tends to face upwardly and outwardly from the display such that customers viewing the display can view the front of the eyewear, which includes the lenses. This allows the customer to easily discern the styling of the eyewear displayed and differences in styling of various pairs of eyewear that may be displayed in the same display. For this purpose, the depth D is preferably less than the length oftemples 302 of theeyewear 300. This limited depth D in combination with the angled inner side of theapertures 106 causes theeyewear 300 to tilt upward. Thus, the depth D of thedisplay 100, in combination with angle F of theinner sides 110 of theapertures 106, tends to control the orientation of theeyewear 300. - The width of the apertures and the distance between the apertures can be selected to ensure that a variety of
eyewear 300 with a variety of widths H may be held in thedisplay 100. Thus, thedisplay 100 may be used to hold both large andsmall eyewear 300. In addition, the angled inner side ensures that the points of support between theeyewear 300 and theaperture 106 is always on the lower inner side of thetemple 302 and is pointing upward and away from the center independent of the width H of theeyewear 300. - In addition, dimension E, shown in
FIG. 1 , from the opening of theaperture 106 to the front of thedisplay 100 is preferably greater than the dimension I, shown inFIG. 3 , between thehinge 302 and a back of the browbar. Thus, thehinges 302 are preferably prevented from entering the apertures. This inhibits thetemples 302 from folding into the closed position and also avoids the need to provide a separate support member under the nose bridge of the eyewear. In a preferred embodiment, the distance between the hinge and the front the apertures is less than 1 inch or approximately 0.5 inches, though this distance can be less. In a preferred embodiment, theapertures 106 are set back from the front of the display by providing that thepanel 106 has an arc of radius R and by placing theapertures 106 along the arc. However, thepanel 106 may be provided with a flat front surface in which the apertures are formed. In addition, more complex shapes may be used. The front inner surface of theeyewear 300 may be substantially flat or take the shape of an arc. If the front inner surface of theeyewear 300 is substantially flat or has an arc with a radius greater than R, then a point of contact between theeyewear 300 and thedisplay 100 will tend to be the center of thesecond panel 104 and the center of theeyewear 300. If the front inner surface of theeyewear 300 can be approximated with an arc with a radius of less than R, then theeyewear 300 will tend to contact thedisplay 100 at two points on either side of the center of thesecond panel 104.
