Definitions

• This invention relates to improved eyeglasses.
• Eyeglasses with various shapes and colors are known.
• prior art eyeglasses have been made with increasingly refined materials and colors, because eyeglasses have become an important fashion accessory and their shape and color is selected according to both the somatic traits of each individual and fashion dictates.
• aesthetic requirements shall be compatible with the practical need of supporting corrective or photoprotecive lenses, and allowing easy and accurate mounting of lenses, especially considering field of view correction requirements.
• prior art eyeglasses may be made from plastic or metal materials, the latter possibly being highly sophisticated, such as titanium, for optimized weight reduction and comfort.
• Eyeglasses are also available in virtually countless colors, as dictated by fashion and preferences of wearers.
• eyeglass manufactures have been increasingly looking for novelties to stimulate purchase by users, which might afford them a marketing edge over competitors.
• One object of the present Utility Model is to improve the state of the art.
• Another object of the invention is to provide improved eyeglasses that have undoubted appeal to customers.
• a further object of the invention is to provide aesthetically novel improved eyeglasses whose structure can ensure and maintain proper lens positioning.
• Yet another object of the invention is to provide improved eyeglasses that may be customized according to the preferences of each wearer.
• the invention relates to improved eyeglasses as defined by the features of claim 1 .
• FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of improved eyeglasses of the invention, when assembling a stone coating
• FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the endpieces of the improved eyeglasses of Figure 1 ;
• FIG. 3 is a view of the inner surface of the improved eyeglasses of Figure 1 , without the support temples;
• FIG. 4 is a view of the outer surface of the improved eyeglasses of
• numeral 1 designates improved eyeglasses typically comprising two lens rims 2 that may have any shape whatever, a bridge 3 for connecting the lens rims 2, hereinafter shortly referred to as rims 2, and two endpieces 4 located in the proximity of the side ends of the two lens rims 2 having the ends of two temples (or sidepieces) 5 hinged thereto
• numeral 6 designates the front outer surface of the rims 2 and the connecting bridge 3
• numeral 7 designates the oppositely facing inner surface.
• At least the outer surface 6 of the rims, the bridge 3 and the endpieces 4 has a coating made of stone material attached thereto, which is made of a very thin sheet 8, whose thickness ranges from 0.4 to 4 millimeters.
• the stone material may be selected from a multiplicity of stone materials including those having high aesthetic appeal and mechanical strength, such as marbles, granites, onyxes, and stones known as semiprecious stones.
• the improved eyeglasses 1 are composed of a prior art bearing frame, made from typical materials for this product, which has the stone coating 8 applied thereto to impart an aesthetically valuable and novel aspect, as well as increased mechanical strength against stresses and impacts.
• the inner surfaces of the rims 2, the bridge 3 and the endpieces 4, as well as the temples 5 may have a stone coating, that may be the same as the one on the outer surface or different therefrom, to obtain a particular color contrast effect.
• the improved eyeglasses are formed by coupling the coating 8 to the parts to be coated and the application technique will typically depend on the material that forms the base frame.
• the coating 8 may be applied using adhesive materials or co-molded with the frame of the improved eyeglasses 1 during fabrication thereof.
