Vibrating base assembly for cleaning contact lenses

In combination with a pair of contact lens containers having a lens base and a lens cap selectively removably coupled to the lens base, the improvement comprising:

• a vibrating base assembly with a base housing defining a housing cavity, with an upper edge, with at least one vibration motor disposed within the housing cavity, electrically coupled to a power source, and operably configured to selectively induce a vibration therefrom with at least one switch coupled to the base housing;
• a bottom surface and an upper surface opposing the bottom surface of the vibrating base assembly and defining a concave recess, the upper surface assembly made of a friction-inducing, deformable, and polymeric material, configured to directly contact the pair of contact lens containers, prevent output of excessive noise, support the pair of contact lens container, and operably coupled to the at least one vibration motor and receive the vibration thereon upon activation of the at least one switch;
• and
• an upper support wall selectively removably coupled to the base housing and formed with a bottom wall portion of the upper support wall and with a sidewall portion of the upper support wall surrounding the bottom wall portion and spanning inwardly toward the housing cavity from the upper edge of the base housing to define the concave recess relative to the upper edge of the base housing, the upper support wall defining the upper surface of the vibrating surface of the vibrating base assembly configured to directly contact the pair of contact lens containers when coupled to the base housing and with the lens base of the pair of contact lens containers disposed within the concave recess and supported with the upper support wall, wherein the at least one vibration motor is directly touching and below the bottom wall portion of the upper support wall when the upper support wall is coupled to the base housing.

• a bottom surface and an upper surface opposing the bottom surface of the vibrating base assembly;
• and
• an upper support wall:
• of a monolithic structure that is made of a friction-inducing, deformable, and polymeric material and coupled to the base housing;
• having a bottom wall with the at least one vibration motor directly touching and disposed below the bottom wall and configured to support two contact lens containers;
• and
• having a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall and spanning inwardly toward the housing cavity from the upper edge of the base housing to define a concave recess relative to the upper edge of the base housing and sized to receive two contact lens containers, the bottom wall and the sidewall defining the upper surface of the vibrating surface of the vibrating base assembly configured to directly contact the two contact lens containers and prevent output of excessive noise therefrom upon receiving a vibration and activation of the at least one switch.
