Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of glasses, and in particular to a kind of safety glasses having removable shield members with one or more protruding tab members configured to be releasably received and/or connected to one or more receiving holes formed on glasses temples. The safety glasses also can have capability to receive and transmit music phone calls, and other audio. Connection or removal of a shield member does not disrupt functioning of the actuator buttons or transmission and reception of music, phone calls and other audio.
Claims20
A smartglasses assembly comprising:
- a front frame;
- a pair of temples configured with wireless communication technology and having one or more receiving holes disposed on a bottom surface thereof;
- and
- a pair of removable shield members connectable to the temples, each shield member having a shield portion and one or more tab members extending from a top section of each of the shield portions and corresponding in shape to the temple receiving holes;
- wherein the temple receiving holes are each adapted to receive and releasably secure a shield member of the pair and at least one of the tab members have one or more magnetic members disposed thereon adapted to engage with corresponding magnetic members disposed in the receiving holes;
- and
- wherein one or more actuator buttons extend from a surface of the temples, at least one actuator button configured to control the wireless communication technology of the temples the wireless communication technology configured and programmed to transmit and receive electronic signals, and connection or removal of one or both of the shield members does not disrupt functioning of the temple actuator buttons or transmission and reception of the electronic signals to or from the temples.

A smartglasses assembly comprising:
- a front frame;
- a pair of temples integrated with wireless communication technology for transmitting and receiving audio, each temple having an opening disposed on a bottom surface thereof and extending a distance into the temples to form a channel, the channel terminating at an end wall in communication with at least one ferromagnetic member;
- and
- a pair of removable shield members connectable to the temples, each shield member having a shield portion and a tab member extending from a top surface of the shield portion and adapted to friction fit within a corresponding channel of the temple, each tab member further comprising at least one ferromagnetic element adapted to engage with at least one ferromagnetic member of the temples to releasably secure the shield members to the temples by magnetic force;
- and
- wherein at least one smartglasses control button extends from a middle section of a bottom surface of at least one temple, and engagement of the pair of shield members with the corresponding temples does not disrupt access to the control buttons of the corresponding temple or transmission and reception of audio by the wireless communication technology of the temples.
3 more elements
A removable shield member for smartglasses comprising:
- a shield portion comprising a substantially smooth and continuous exterior sidewall, the sidewall having a first, curvilinear edge configured to substantially abut a front frame of smartglasses and a second edge configured to substantially abut a bottom surface of smartglasses temples, the edges forming a substantially non-perpindicular corner, the shield portion configured to shield user's eves and prevent debris from entering user's eyes;
- a tab members protruding from a top surface of the shield portion, the tab member being an elongate body having a continuous, substantially smooth exterior surface and comprising a magnetic element to facilitate magnetic connection with a corresponding ferromagnetic member in a receiving hole of a smartglasses temple;
- and
- wherein installation or removal of the shield member to or from the smartglasses temple does not disrupt functioning of actuator buttons or transmission and reception of the electronic signals of the temple.
