Abstract
A skin contact pad for eyeglass frames that helps increase the friction between the skin and the eyeglasses. The skin contact pad has a body with a face surface that touches the skin of a person wearing the eyeglasses. Concavities are formed on the skin contact pad. Each of the concavities has a concave surface defined within an encompassing base. The encompassing base of each concavity is independent and complete. As the concavities move across skin, the skin bulges slightly into the concavities. As the skin moves under the concavities, the bulges move and a slight suction is created within the concavities that bias the skin contact pad toward the skin. The bias that is created helps hold the eyeglasses in place on the head of a user.
Claims18
A nose pad for eyeglass frames, comprising:
- a body having a face surface;
- a plurality of concavities formed in said face surface of said body, wherein each of said plurality of concavities has a concave surface defined within an encompassing circular base, wherein said encompassing circular base has a diameter no greater than one millimeter and said concave surface has a depth no greater than half said diameter, wherein each said concave surface is impervious to air.
An eyeglass assembly, comprising:
- a front frame;
- temple elements coupled to said front frame;
- nose pads connected to said front frame, wherein each of said nose pads has a face surface;
- a plurality of concavities formed in an area on said face surface, wherein each of said plurality of concavities has a concave surface defined with an encompassing circular base, wherein said encompassing circular base has a maximum diameter no greater than one millimeter and said concave surface has a depth no greater than half said diameter.
A skin contact pad for eyeglass frames, comprising:
- a body having a face surface;
- a plurality of concavities formed in an area on said face surface of said body, wherein each of said plurality of concavities has a concave surface defined within an encompassing circular base, wherein said encompassing circular base has a maximum diameter no greater than one millimeter and said concave surface has a depth no greater than half said diameter, wherein each said encompassing circular base is independent and complete.
