Abstract
An attachment glasses to the spectacles includes a pair of rims with gasses connected by a T-shaped bar which has an extension centrally projected inward having a transverse axial hole in the proximity of free end, a pair of first and second clipping plates in symmetrical arrangement each has a pair of axial holes rotatably secured to the transverse axial hole of the T-shaped bar by an axial pin, a padded transverse groove engageable with the bridge of the spectacles, a pair of magents beneath the groove. When the grooves engage with the bridge, the magnets of the first and second clipping plates will attract each other in order to firmly clip the attachment glasses to the spectacles.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to spectacles and more particularly to an attachment glasses to the spectacles which can be readily attached to the bridge of a pair of spectacles.
A pair of spectacles not only improve user's eyesight, protect the eye from under strong light and ultraviolet rays but also beautify the face of the user. A nearsightedness could not leave the spectacles and felt difficult to walk under the sunshine. If he wears a pair of plane dark colored spectacles, he can not see anything in front of him except that the lens of the dark colored spectacle has the same degrees suitable to him, this may cost too much for him. So that an attachable sun glasses is therefore produced to directly attach to the lens of the spectacles to solve this problem. However, the attachment of this attachable sun glasses has many disadvantages on design. It always break off under any vibration when the user jumps or runs.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention has a main object to provide a attachment glasses to the spectacles which can firmly attach to the spectacles without breaking off.
Another object of the present invention is to provide the attachment glasses to the spectacle which is easy to manufacture and needs not to modify the spectacles.
Accordingly, the attachment glasses of the present invention comprises generally a pair of glasses connected by a roughly T-shaped bar, a clip hinged to the T-shaped bar for clipping the attachment glasses to the bridge of the spectacles. Because of that each of the clipping pieces of the clip has magnets on inner side. So that the attachment of the glasses to the spectacles is very reliable and secure.
The present invention will become more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description thereof when read in conjunction with the attached drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference to
FIGS. 1
to
5
of the drawings, the attachment glasses to the spectacles of the present invention comprises generally a frame
10
which is composed of a pair of rims with glasses
11
therein and a roughly T-shaped bar
12
connected the rims therebetween. The T-shaped bar
12
has a transverse extension
13
perpendicularly projected outward including an axial hole
131
transversely formed in proximity of the free end.
A pair of first and second clipping plates
21
and
22
are symmetrically formed each has a transverse groove
212
and
222
, in inner surface facing each other, a pair of retaining recesses
215
and
216
formed spaced apart in a lower portion beneath the groove
212
and
222
for retaining a pair of magnets
216
and
226
, a flexible cushion
213
and
223
fixedly disposed into the groove
212
and
222
and a bent outward piece
214
and
224
at lower end. The first clipping plate
21
further has a pair of inwardly protrudent axial holes
211
on upper portion made engageable with the axial hole
131
of the T-shaped bar
12
and the second clipping plate
22
further has a pair of upwardly protrudent axial holes
221
on the top made engageable with the outside of the axial holes
211
of the first clipping plate
21
.
When assembly, engage the axial holes
131
,
211
and
221
together, then rotatably secured by an axial pin
23
(as shown in FIGS.
2
and
4
). Because of that the magnets
216
and
226
have their opposing poles facing each other, when the first and the second clipping plates
21
and
22
mount to a bridge
41
of the spectacles
40
, they will attract to each other and therefore firmly clipping the attachment glasses
10
onto the bridge
41
of the spectacles
40
wherein the grooves
212
and
222
engage with the bridge
41
(as shown FIGS.
3
and
5
). This attachment of the attachment glasses
10
to the spectacles
40
should be very stable and without breaching off on any vibration. Besides the clipping plates
21
and
22
are positioned above the nose pads of the spectacles
40
, it would not touch the nose of the user.
Referring to
FIG. 6
, if dispose an elastic inverse U-shaped clip
30
between the upper portion of the clipping plates
21
and
22
, the attachment would be more stable.
The specification relating to the above embodiment should be construed as exemplary rather than as limitative of the present invention, with many variations and modifications being readily attainable by a person of average skill in the art without departing from the sprit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
Claims
- 1. An attachment glasses to the spectacles comprising:a pair of rims having glasses therein connected with each other by a T-shaped bar therebetween, side T-shaped bar having an extension centrally projected inward including a fist axial hole transversely formed in proximity of free end thereof; a pair of first and second clipping plates rotatably hinged to the first axial hole of the T-shaped bar by means of an axial pin, said first and second clipping plates being in symmetrical arrangement each having a transverse groove in a middle inner surface padded by a flexible cushion, a pair of retaining recesses formed spaced apart in a lower inner portion beneath the groove, a pair of magnets engaged into the recesses respectively and a bent outward lower end.
