Furthermore, it is impractical to handle, store and transport. In addition, it is based on the arrangement of a single light source at the end of the rod-shaped Limited carrier, whereby a limitation in the number of light sources and their color spectrum is given.
  • Claim 1 refers here to a portable device for light directed eyes comprising at least one carrier with light sources, a power source for the light sources and a control unit for controlling the light sources, is provided in accordance with the invention that the carrier as a in use position U-shaped flexible bracket is executed, wherein in the central region of the U-shaped bow on its inwardly directed side at least one light source or light source group is arranged with a distributed along a portion of the bracket in the longitudinal direction of the bracket light emission.

  • the device according to the invention can thereby be worn in everyday life without further notice for longer periods.
  • the use of the at least one light source or light source group with a light emission distributed along a partial section of the bow in the longitudinal direction of the bow takes place in order to avoid a glare effect of the light sources placed close to the eye.

This refraction of light can be used to focus the emitted light in one of the two eyes, in that the envelope is bead-shaped in this area and thus acts as a lens.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif portable, destiné à émettre de la lumière dirigée vers les yeux, qui comprend au moins un support (1) muni de sources de lumière (7), une source de courant (3, 32) pour les sources de lumière (7) et une unité de commande (4) destinée à commander les sources de lumière (7). Selon l'invention, le support (1) est réalisé sous la forme d'un arceau flexible qui prend la forme d'un U en position d'utilisation. Au moins une source de lumière (7) ou un groupe de sources de lumière dont l'émission de lumière est distribuée le long d'une portion partielle de l'arceau dans le sens longitudinal de l'arceau est disposé dans la zone centrale de l'arceau courbé en forme de U sur son côté dirigé vers l'intérieur. L'invention produit ainsi un dispositif d'émission de lumière qui peut être porté discrètement et avec un confort de port élevé près de la tête et qui permet notamment de porter le dispositif simultanément avec des lunettes courantes du commerce. La manipulation, la conservation et la charge des dispositifs correspondants s'en trouvent de plus facilitées.
