Abstract
A pair of foldable glasses includes two lenses. Each lens has a first side and a second side, with the first side facing an eye when the glasses are worn, and the second side being opposite to the first side. In one approach, the lenses are connected together by a folding mechanism whereby the lenses can be folded with the first sides of both lenses facing each other. Each temple has a front section and a rear section that can be folded or retracted into the front section. This allows the temples to be in an extended or a shortened configuration. Each lens is connected or coupled to a temple by a pivoting joint, which allows the corresponding temple to be rotated from being perpendicular to being parallel to the lenses, and to be rotated from being extended rearward to being extended forward from the lenses.
Claims14
A pair of foldable glasses, comprising:
- two lenses having a first side and a second side respectively wherein said first sides face human eyes and said second sides are sides opposite from said first sides;
- folding means for connecting said lenses together and folding said lenses with said first sides thereof facing each other;
- two temples provided on said lenses at outer sides thereof and extended rearwards, each of which has a front section and a rear section connected with said front section in a foldable or retractable way;
- and
- two pivoting means for connecting said two temples and said two lenses respectively so that said temples can be turned between positions of said temples substantially perpendicular and substantially parallel to said lenses and can be turned between positions of said temples extended rearward and forward from said lenses;
- wherein to fold the glasses, each of the temples is rotated from being extended rearward to extended forward from the lenses.
A pair of foldable glasses, comprising:
- two lenses, each having a first side and a second side that is opposite to the first side;
- a folding mechanism being configured to couple said lenses together;
- and
- two temples, each coupled to one lens through a pivoting joint, and each temple being able to be extended or shortened;
- wherein
- each pivoting joint is configured to allow its corresponding temple to be rotated from being substantially perpendicular to being substantially parallel to the lenses, and to be rotated from being extended rearward to being extended forward from the lenses;
- when the glasses are worn by a user, the first sides of the lenses face the eyes of the user, the temples extend rearward from the lenses, and the temples are in their extended configurations;
- to fold the glasses, each of the temples is rotated from being extended rearward to extended forward from the lenses;
- and
- when the glasses are folded, the first sides of the lenses are facing each other, the temples are substantially parallel to the lenses, and the temples are in their shortened configurations.
