Counterpoised cranial support for eyewear

Abstract

This highly balanced, nose-independent type of eyewear device keeps optical devices securely positioned before the eyes in previously unobtained, carefree comfort. It also allows micro-positioning of optical devices at definite placements. Select device of the method likewise stows glasses, handy on, both above and below line-of-sight. The head, including ears is used extensively, but not the nose or other face, except and unless by the margins. Typically tensile strap (70) or one or more rigid cranial-crown extensions (72) [dubbed pate-pieces] extend to the top of the head from somewhere along distally counterweighted, glasses earpieces. Alternately a counterweight-and-support line (34) is strung from a [whimsically chosen] counterbalancing mass (32) behind the head to support the front. Counterpoised cranial support inherently lends more latitude to eyewear design. This type of support promises to spawn an explosion of pleasing, exciting new eyewear. The disclosure espouses glasses which absolutely stay put, while remaining comfortably unnoticed.
