Abstract
A coating inspection device for inspecting an object after a coating material has been applied is disclosed. The coating inspection device may include a pair of eyeglasses worn on a person's face, resting on the person's ears and nose. The eyeglasses may include a frame member having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A set of lenses may be disposed within the frame member. At least one light source may be disposed on the frame member. The ultraviolet light source may be moveable to adjust the direction in which the ultraviolet light source emits light. A switch may be disposed on the frame.
Claims21
An apparatus for inspecting a coating comprising:
- a frame member having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the frame member being configured to be worn on a person's face with the first side facing away from the person's face and the second side facing toward the person's face and being configured to receive at least one lens;
- at least one lens disposed within the frame member;
- at least one ultraviolet light source disposed on the first side of the frame member;
- and
- a switch disposed on the frame member, the switch configured to turn on the at least one ultraviolet light source when the frame member is worn by a person and to turn off the at least one ultraviolet light source when the frame member is not worn by a person,
- wherein the switch includes an actuator configured to open and close the switch, the actuator being disposed on the second side of the frame member and configured to be displaced from a first position, in which the switch is open, to a second position, in which the switch is closed, by a person's face pressing against the actuator when the coating inspection device is worn by the person.
An apparatus for inspecting a coating comprising:
- a frame member having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the frame member being configured to be worn on a person's face with the second side facing toward the person's face and configured to receive at least one lens;
- at least one lens disposed within the frame member;
- a first temple member and a second temple member both disposed on the second side of the frame member;
- at least one ultraviolet light source disposed on the first side of the frame member, the at least one ultraviolet light source being movable relative to the frame member such that the at least one ultraviolet light source is configured to be moved from a first position to a second position to adjust the direction in which the at least one ultraviolet light source is directed;
- and
- electrical components associated with the at least one ultraviolet light source.
A method of inspecting a coating on a golf ball, comprising:
- turning on at least one ultraviolet light source extending from a first side of a frame member of a coating inspection device by placing the coating inspection device on a person's face such that the person's face presses against and moves an actuator disposed on a second side of the frame member that is opposite the first side, wherein the coating inspection device includes at least one lens disposed within the frame member;
- and
- viewing a golf ball through the at least one lens while the ultraviolet light source is on.
