SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The NEO-I describes the integration of a small and powerful neodymium magnet built into the “arms” of sunglasses and reading glasses for the purpose of safely securing said glasses to an article of a person's clothing. By closing the arms together, the user would be allowing the magnets to attract to each other thus causing a “clip” to be produced. When contact is made, the glasses are securely fastened to the wearer's clothing preventing them from being able to fall off freely. To disengage the magnetic “clip” the wearer would simply pull outward on the glasses thus loosening the magnetic attraction between the two poles and releasing the glasses.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of sunglasses according to a preferred embodiment of invention.
FIG. 1A AND 1B are side cross-sectional views of said sunglass “arms”, showing the neodymium magnets.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the aforementioned sunglasses illustrating the open to closed position of the “arms” and the magnetic “clip” attraction.
FIG. 2A is an enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. 2
FIG. 3 is a back view of the sunglasses in the closed position.
FIG. 3A is an enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. 3
FIG. 4 is an illustration showing the desired purpose of the invention. To safely secure the sunglasses to an article of clothing by “clipping” the magnets together.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The sunglasses 10 have a powerful neodymium magnet 12 integrated into each of the “arms” 11. In FIG. 1, the sunglasses 10 are in the open position and the magnets 12 do not interact with one another. In FIG. 2, as the arms 11 are being closed the magnetic attraction 13 causes the arms 11 to “clip” together. As this “clipping” occurs, the desired result is achieved when fastened to an article of one's clothing 14 as best illustrated in FIG. 4.
