Mirror Band Contact Case

Abstract

The Mirror Band Contact Case equips its user with a improved upon contact lens case. Typical cases consist of two parts: the caps and the base, that of which the caps apply onto. By accessorizing the contact lens case, with features such as a removable mirror and light, we now enter a new market offering solutions to a frustrated community that at times need to adjust their eyewear.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The sole focus of this document is to formally submit Mirror Band Contact Case. The prior art, or product currently in market, is not suited for all conditions that many experience with their contact lenses. Contact lens cases have not changed much through the years, and we still use the basic design of the case even though we do most of our activities with our contacts in. Incorporating the Mirror Band Contact Case gives off a new applicable use for environments that otherwise could not be explored with the benefits. Whether you are removing your contacts to sleep for a plane ride, or hiking a mountain and having debris disrupt your vision; using the new contact lens case design can assist in many needed ways.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Mirror Band Contact Case is a product designed to assist and enhance a users experience, with the removal and input of contact lenses. Primarily contact lens cases contain 2 parts, a base for solution and a cap to secure the contents. The product described herein incorporates a mirror attachment, and lighting mechanism in addition to magnets that connect and accessorize the contact lens cap to the contact lens base.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

Essentially there are three unique sections defining the components of this contact case. The contact case cap 5, the accessories that rest upon the cap, and the contact case base 4. The first drawing, view 1, depicts a plan view of the components that rest upon the caps structure. View 1 presents a mirror as 1, and a transparent ring as 2. The transparent ring tightly encases the surrounding mirror, and essentially illuminates the mirror as light passes through.

In the second plan view, 2, the contact lens case is presented in a complete state where the base 4 securely rests beneath the contact lens cap. Although only the mirror 1, and transparent ring 2 are visible, you are reminded that these pieces are structured upon the cap 5.

View 3 presents the caps design from beneath, again from a plan view. In this view, 1 is the non reflective or underside of the mirror, and 2 still remains the transparent ring. Now visible is the magnet, 3, which is used to attach the accessories to the contact lens cap 5. The lighting structure and components can now be seen as well, the battery 6, light bulb 7, 8 and 11 wiring, light switch 9 with 10 being the lights on and off trigger button.

In the 4^th view, this front elevation view is another format of the products resting state. If needed, revisiting the 2^nd view will reassure you of the product in a completed state from a plan view. The components: mirror 1, although not seen from this angle rests horizontally within the transparent ring 2. The top magnet 3 and bottom magnet 12 appear in a fastened position as the two pieces come into contact. Additionally in this view, the cap 5 and components can be seen secured to the base 4 of the contact lens case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The product begins with the attachment of magnets, with each having an adhesive end. To replicate the build, stick one magnet 12 to the outside of the contact lens cap 5. Attach the second magnet 3 to the non-reflective side of the mirror.

The following step incorporates a transparent ring 2 and it is imperative the mirror 1 is slid only ¼ of the way into the hollowed transparent ring 2, so that the remaining depth of the ring can be used to contain additional parts. Again the mirror can be fastened with an adhesive strip, glue, or any feature comparable.

A light bulb 7, along with wiring 8 and 11, battery 6, and switch 9 is primarily placed in the remaining space between the magnet 3 and the transparent ring. All of the mentioned components are attached with electric tape. To register the light, begin by soldering the wire 8 to one of the switches 9 metal plates. Bring this wire to the light bulbs 7 stem or trunk, wrap the stem tightly or solder if needed, and continue with the wire to the negative end of the battery 6 where it is then connected with electric tape. From this point begin with wire 11; attach the wire to the positive end of the battery, and then bring the wire to the remaining switch 9 bases. Solder the wire to the base, and this will complete the circuit.

Presented as three pieces, but coming together as one contact lens case; the cap 5 now acting as an accessorized piece, with the capabilities of connecting to the contact lens base 4 with the features of this invention should have been observed. In addition, essentially the transparent ring illuminates the mirror, when turning on and off the light as noted by the trigger 10.

Claims

1) A contact lens case typically consisting of a lid and container, in which one would use to store traditionally their contact lenses and solution.

2) A contact lens case using a mirror, and light, located on the contact lens cap although these contents may be applied to other areas of the case.

3) A contact lens case consisting of a mirror and accessories capable of being fastened, unfastened, or both.
