Definitions

  • This invention relates to improved spectacles especially but not exclusively for use in alleviating the symptoms of hay-fever.
  • Hay fever is essentially an allergic reaction to plant pollen which causes irritation to the eyes, nose, mouth etc and is a problem which affects large numbers of people in the summer months.
  • Various solutions have been proposed to overcome the problem or at least relieve the symptoms and, depending on the severity of the allergic reaction, these are to a degree at least effective.
  • treatment involves the use of some form of medicament and as such is not always available or desirable.
  • a spectacle arrangement having air supply means arranged thereon and provided with outlets for directing air towards and across a users face so as to create an area of positive air pressure around the users eyes.
  • the air supply means may comprise an air tube attached to the spectacle frame or may be formed by a hollow section of the frame itself.
  • the air outlets are arranged so as to direct air in several directions simultaneously.
  • an air pump or compressed air reservoir supply is provided for supplying the air supply means and filter means are provided for the air supply.
  • the spectacle frame may carry plain lenses, prescription lenses, sun lenses or may be a plain frame without lenses.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of spectacle arrangement in accordance with the present invention
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a spectacle arrangement in accordance with the present invention.
  • a spectacle arrangement in accordance with the present invention comprises a hollow tubular frame 1 having; legs 2; a top bar 3; a bottom bar 4, with a nose piece 5, and a lens arrangement 6.
  • An air supply is provided from an air pump or compressed air bottle, shown generally at 7, and connected to the frame 1 by a flexible tube 8.
  • a series of air outlets 9, 10 and 11 are provided on the top bar 3, bottom bar 4 and nose piece 5 respectively.
  • the air outlets are either small diameter holes or appropriately angled and positioned slits.
  • the air supply 7 provides an air flow which creates a positive air pressure within the frame 1 which results in the creation of a plurality of air streams across a users eyes, nose and mouth from the outlets 9, 10 and 11.
  • the effect of this is that an area of slightly higher pressure air is created in front of the users face.
  • the air supply is preferably filtered this creates a pollen free area in front of the users face which thus removes the cause of allergic reaction and thus provides relief to a hay fever sufferer.
  • the air supply 7 which may be in the form of a battery operated air pump or a small compressed air cylinder can easily be attached to a users belt and the tube 8 routed to the frame 1 as appropriate.
  • the particular embodiment illustrated is a frame having wrap around sun lens type lenses but alternative arrangements are possible.
  • plain lenses, prescription lenses or any type of filtered lenses may be used.
  • the lenses may be of glass or plastics material and the frame may also be metal or plastics material as desired.
  • the spectacles are thus suitable for users requiring corrective vision spectacles as well as those who do not.
  • FIG.2 A second embodiment of a spectacle arrangement in accordance with the present invention is shown in Fig.2 and is generally similar to that shown in Fig. 1. Accordingly like parts are accorded the same reference numerals.
  • This embodiment is somewhat simplified however in that it is only the top bar 3 which is provided with air outlets. These air outlets are arranged both along the top of the top bar 3, designated 19a, and below the top bar 3, designated 19b.
  • an air supply 7 is provided by an air pump 7 through a tube 8 and a separate filter 7a is also provided.
  • the effect of the air flows from outlets 19a and 19b is to create an area of positive air pressure around the users eyes with filtered air thus minimising the users exposure to pollen laden air.
  • Exposure to pollen laden air will not be entirely eliminated but the effect of the spectacles is to considerably reduce the pollen count in the area around the users eyes and to some extent the nose.
  • the spectacles are also useful in dust laden atmosphere or when noxious fumes are present.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à une conception de lunettes comportant une monture (1) ayant: des branches (2); une barre supérieure (3); une barre inférieure (4) pourvue d'une arcade (5) pour le nez, et un logement pour les verres (6). Une arrivée d'air (7) est ménagée par l'intermédiaire d'un tube flexible (8). Des sorties d'air (9, 10 et 11) sont également prévues. Lors de l'utilisation, l'arrivée d'air (7) produit une pluralité de courants qui passent par les yeux, le nez et la bouche de l'utilisateur. Ceci crée une zone d'air filtré à pression légèrement plus élevée devant le visage de l'utilisateur, et dénuée de pollen, ce qui élimine la cause de la réaction allergique, et procure ainsi un soulagement à l'utilisateur souffrant du rhume des foins.
