Abstract
The present apparatus is directed, in one embodiment, towards a liquid-absorbing component for attachment to eyeglasses, that impedes the flow of perspiration and other materials into the wearer's eyes. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes a liquid-absorbing component that is attachable to eyeglass arms and may be used independently of eyeglasses.
Claims28
An apparatus for use with eyeglasses, said eyeglasses including a frame supporting a single lens or two lenses, and two arms, comprising:
- a first piece formed of an elongated sheet of liquid-absorbent material;
- and
- a second piece formed of a second elongated sheet of semi-rigid material of about the same size and shape as the first piece, the second piece being longitudinally connected to said first piece, and the first piece and second piece together forming a component having a center portion, a first end and a second end, each of the first end and second end being attachable to the arms of said eyeglasses, and the center portion of said component positioned proximate the top of said frame, and oriented with said first piece at least in partial contact with the forehead of the wearer of the eyeglasses, wherein said first piece is of a length of about the width of the frame of the eyeglasses.
An apparatus for impeding flow of perspiration on the wearer's forehead, comprising:
- a first piece formed of an elongated sheet of liquid-absorbent material;
- a second piece formed of a second elongated sheet of semi-rigid material of about the same size and shape as the first piece, the second piece being longitudinally connected to the first piece, and the first piece and second piece together forming a component having a center portion, a first end and a second end, the first piece being directed towards the wearer's forehead;
- arms for attachment to each of said first end and said second end, each arm including an earpiece, for positioning on the wearer's ears;
- and
- attachment means, connected to each of said first end and second end for attaching and detaching said arms to said component.
A kit for a perspiration-impeding apparatus to be worn on a wearer's head, comprising:
- (a) a component formed of a first elongated sheet of liquid-absorbent material longitudinally connected to a second elongated sheet of semi-rigid material of about the same length and width as the first elongated sheet, the component having an attachment means on each of a first end and a second end of said component;
- and
- (b) arms attachable to said component at said attachment means on each of said first end and second end, said arms each having ear pieces for wearing over the wearer's ears, the component and said arms when attached together and worn by the wearer being positioned so that the first elongated sheet is in at least partial contact with the wearer's forehead.
