Specification of Letters Patent.

Application l'ed .Tune 28, 1909.\ Serial No. 504,931.

Be it known that I, GUs'rAv-A. BADER, a

citizen of the United States, and resident of' In the drawings z-Figure 1 is a top view of a pair of eye-glasses equipped with the improvements; Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Figs. 3 and 4 show a modification, Fig. 3 being aside view of Fig. 4, looking to the right, and the'latter being a section on aline corresponding with 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig'. 5 is a partial top view of either Fig. 2 or Fig. 4; Figs. 6 and 7 show another ,modicatiom Fig. 7 being a section on a line corresponding with2-2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 6 being a side View of Fig. 7 ,looking to the right; andFi 8 and 9 show still another` modification, ig. 8 being a section on a line corresponding with 2-2 of Fig. 1, and Fig.

9 being a top view.

The invention relates specifically to the noseards and nose clamps, and While a rigid l ow 1, and. .lens-

clips

2, 2, are shown, they merely serve to eX lain vthe positiony and operation ofthe nove features. Furthermore, the nose-guards are represented as pivotally supported, adjacenftothe clips, by

bolts

4, 4 that are threaded into theceniinuation of the bow at each end, and levers 53st' are shown for operating the nose-guards, but that particular construction is not essential. The novel features are those which particularly relate to the connections ofthe nose-'guards '6, 6,'with their

brackets

3, 3, which will now be described.

' Referring rst to the construction shown u in Figs. 1 and 2, it will be observed that the cnoseards are pivoted, respectively, to their rackets at 8, 8, and that for this

urpose lugs

7, 7 are secured to the backs o the nose-guards; also that the -u perends 9, 9

end of a sprin 10 that is put under tension and tends bot to hold yieldingly towardl each otherthe brackets that carry the noseguards, and to rock the nose-guards themselves toward eachother at their upper ends. The

springs

10, 10 shown forthis purpose are coiled upon the

bolts

4, 4, and have each an end extended to engage one lof the noseguards in the manner and for vthe purpose explained, and another end extended to ender tension. The ends of the brackets3, 3
