Definitions
- the aim of this invention is to providing the spectacles with other useful functions
- each ear-covering can integrate a micro receiving device for radio communications or even for broadcasting or a loudspeaker whose additional components may be integrated in the ear-pieces or in the same ear-coverings (one and/or the other)
- said ear-coverings can integrate also a microphone with different answers in frequence linked to a loudspeaker and/or an amplifying system for example for people having a higher or lower deafness degree
- Said ear-coverings may be made in materials able to keep the ears of the user warm
- Figures 1 , 2, 3 are three respectively front, top and side views of a first form of embodiment of the spectacles, for examples for someone who is subjected to noise and needs at the same time also a protection for the eyes (for example if he/she is working at a circular saw)
- Figures 4, 5, 6 are three respectively front, top and side vtews of a second form of embodiment of the spectacles, for example for someone who is using a rifle or a pistol or other fire-weapons
- Figures 7, 8, 9 are three respectively front, top and side views of a third form of embodiment of the spectacles, for example for someone who wants to listen to music and wants at the same time protection during fast movements
- Fig 10 shows the spectacles of Figs 1 , 2, 3 worn by a respective user
- Fig 11 shows the spectacles of Figs 4, 5, 6 worn by a respective user
- Fig 12 shows the spectacles of Figs 7, 8, 9 worn by a respective user
- the visual screening part or lens with respective possible frame
- 2 the supporting ear-pieces and with 3 the ear-pieces end with ear-covering that can act as an ear-phone as for example in the solution of Figs 7, 8, 9, 12
- the visual screening or lens may be both corrective and protective
- the frame of the visual screening or of the lens builds a unique body with the earpieces 2, said support (frame-ear pieces) is elastic and makes that in resting position the ear-covenngs 3 are pushed with a certain force against the ears of the user
- the ear-pieces 2 may penetrate more or less into the covering 3 allowing each user to regulate the distance between the frame and the ear-covenngs
- the thickness of the visual screening or of the lens and their shape is functional to the use the spectacles are devoted to
- the originality lies in the fact that the ear-pieces 2 of the spectacles end with the respective ear-covering 3 with or without electrical devices, which allow to receive and listen to sounds (coming from outside, from a radio, a CD player, etc )
- the antennas can also be integrated in the ear-pieces 2 It can also be provided only the receiver in the ear-covering while the transmitter (i e tape or CD player) could also be connected with the spectacles by cable by means of a device fixed to the waist as in known prior art
- the spectacles are the covering holders Obviously as claimed, the spectacles with incorporated radio or radio in the form of spectacles with ear-coverings for the ears that include at least one loudspeaker are integrant part of the innovation Similarly is for the ear-phones Similarly is for sound amplifying devices
