Abstract
Eyewear is disclosed that can have multiple ventilation states providing different amounts of ventilation through the eyewear. The eyewear can include a lens and a frame. In some embodiments, the lens can be movable with respect to the frame to provide the multiple ventilation states. In some embodiments, the eyewear can include a gasket that removably attaches to the frame. In some embodiments, the gasket can be movable with respect to the frame to provide the multiple ventilation states.
Claims23
1-20. (canceled)
An assembly for attachment to an eyewear having a lens, the assembly being configured to transition between at least a first configuration and a second configuration, the assembly comprising:
- a subframe having a nose portion, wherein the subframe is configured to be positioned further apart from the lens in the second configuration than in the first configuration;
- and
- an arm connected to the subframe, the arm configured to move between a first arm position in the first configuration and a second arm position in the second configuration, wherein moving the arm from the first arm position to the second arm position causes the assembly to transition from the first configuration to the second configuration;
- wherein the assembly is configured to provide a low ventilation state in the first configuration with the subframe and the lens positioned closer together;
- wherein the assembly is configured to provide a high ventilation state in the second configuration with the subframe and the lens positioned further apart from each other;
- wherein the high ventilation state is configured to allow more ventilation between an eyewear and the face of the wearer than the low ventilation state.
An assembly for attachment to an eyewear having a lens, the assembly being configured to transition between at least a first configuration and a second configuration, the assembly comprising:
- a nose portion configured to rest on the nose of the wearer, wherein the nose portion is configured to move relative to the lens;
- and
- an actuator positioned at a center portion of the nose portion, the actuator being configured to be actuated by the wearer to move the actuator between a first position and a second position;
- wherein moving of the actuator from the first position to the second position is configured to move the nose portion away from the lens to provide a high ventilation state;
- wherein the nose portion is configured to move towards the nose portion to produce a low ventilation state;
- wherein the high ventilation state is configured to provide more ventilation than the lower ventilation state when the assembly is attached to an eyewear which is worn by the wearer.
