Abstract
An openable attachment sunglass to the spectacles includes a sunglass having a pair of plane dark colored glasses connected by a bridge and a horizontal bar projected inward from the inside of the bridge and pivoted to an upright lug on the top of a clip which is composed of an upper clip plate pivoted to a horizontal lug on rear side of the upper clip plate. Each of the upper and lower clip plates has a pair of obliquely and symmetrically extended branches on front side made in registry with each other and each of the branches has a magnet in distal portion. When the clip clips the bridge of the spectacles, the upper and lower clip plates will firmly clip each other due to the attraction of the magnets. The sunglass is able to turn upward to form a right angle relative to the lens plane of the spectacles when the user stays indoor.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to spectacles and more particularly to an openable attachment sunglass to the spectacles.
As we know that a nearsightedness needs to wear a myopic spectacles, otherwise he can see nothing in front of him. If he goes outdoor under sunshine, he has to wear a sunglass to protect his eyes from the strong sunlight. However, the sunglass has to have certain degrees suitable to him. Due to the myopic sunglass is difficult to manufacture and expensive, it is not welcomed by the nearsightedness. Thus the producer produces an attachment sunglass to the spectacles to protect the nearsightedness from the sunlight and becomes popularity in the market. This type of attachment sunglass generally uses a clip to attach the sunglass to the spectacles that is not so stable and reliable to improve this defectiveness. Applicant adopts magnets to the clip which has obtained U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,283,591 B1 and 6,293,672 B1. This improved structure is really strengthened the clipping effect. But still has some disadvantages such that it is inconvenient when the user returns back indoor, he has to remove the attached sunglass and to attach it again when he goes out under sunlight. So that only an openable attachment sunglass can solve this problem.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention has a principal object to provide an openable attachment sunglass to the spectacle which the sunglass, except magnetically attached to the spectacle but also can be opened upward to form a right angle between the sunglass and the lens plane of the spectacles or turned down to close to the front surface of the lens of the spectacles in order to facilitate the user to wear the spectacles both indoor or outdoors.
Accordingly, the attachment sunglass of the present invention comprises a pair plane dark colored glasses connected a bridge, a horizontal bar projected inward from the inner side of the bridge including a transverse tube pivoted to the upright lug of an upper clip plate which further has a horizontal lug pivoted to a transverse tube on the top of a lower clip plate. Each of the upper and lower clip plates has at least a magnet in the distal of their oblique extension attract one another. So the attached sunglass can be able to open upward to form a certain angle relative to the lens plane of the spectacles or to turn downward to close the front surface of the lens of the spectacles after that the clip plates firmly clip the bridge of the spectacles.
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
,
2
,
3
and
4
of the drawings, the openable attachment sunglass to the spectacles of the present invention comprises an attached sunglass
10
having a pair of plane dark colored glass
11
and
12
connected by a bridge
13
, a horizontal bar
14
centrally projected inward from the inner side of the bridge
13
including a transverse pivotal tube
141
at distal thereof, an upper grip plate
15
having an upright lug
151
including an aligned through
152
engaged with the transverse pivotal tube
141
and rotatably secured by a first retaining pin
153
, a horizontal lug
154
including an aligned through hole
155
, a pair of first obliquely and symmetrically extended branches
158
each including a magnet
157
in distal portion, a lower clip plate
16
having a long transverse pivot tube
161
on the top including a through hole in the body engaged with the horizontal lug
154
of the upper grip plate
15
and rotatably secured by a second retaining pin
156
, a pair of second obliquely and symmetrically extended branches
164
each including a magnet
162
in the distal portion made in registry with the first obliquely and symmetrically extended braches
158
of the upper grip plate
15
and a receiving space
163
formed between the long transverse pivot tube
161
and the branches
164
for receiving the bridge
21
of the spectacles
20
.
Based on the afore discussed structure, in use opens the upper and lower grip plate
15
and
16
to let the bridge
21
of the spectacles
20
entered in plate in the receiving space
163
of the lower grip plate
16
, then closes the upper and lower grip plates
15
and
16
, the magnets
157
and
162
will automatically attract one another. So that the attachment sunglass
10
is firmly gripped the bridge
21
of the spectacles
20
and the plane dark colored glasses
12
of the sunglass
10
attached to the front surface of the lens of the spectacles
20
(as shown in
FIGS. 3
,
4
and
5
). Meanwhile, the user can wear it to go outdoor under the sunlight. When he comes back indoor temporarily, he can open the sunglass
10
and the horizontal bar
14
rotates upward on the first retaining pin
153
to enable the sunglass
10
to form a right angle for about 90° relative to the lens plane of the spectacles
20
. Therefore the sunglass
10
is unnecessary to remove but firmly clips the bridge
21
of the spectacles
20
without loosening off except that the use voluntarily removes it.
Although the structure of the grip is of a previous invention of the applicant and the opening manner of the sunglass
10
is of conventional. But the combination of the magnetic grip with the opening manner is still not available in the market. It is necessary to combine the above two structures together to give the convenience and practicality to the user. The novelty of this invention is not doubtfully.
Note that 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 spirit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
