Abstract
Improved eyeglasses are disclosed that have improvements in comfort, safety, wear ability, and convenience, based upon improvements in the contact (bearing) surfaces where the eyeglasses touch the body by providing air passages, hydrophobic surfaces and/or ratchet-tooth-like structures to promote motion from the bottom of the lenses in front toward the end of earpieces in the back of the head; to methods, articles, etc. for providing such improvements; and to methods for improving acceptance of such improved eyeglasses, especially improved methods of doing business.
Claims40
Eyeglasses having lenses, earpieces and nosepieces and at least one surface area that is in contact with wearer's skin that is hydrophobic and provides airways for acration of the skin so as to help keep the skin dry and provides less resistance to slippage in the upward direction, the backward direction, or both the upward and backward direction with respect to the wearer's face to keep the eyeglasses in position.
The method of improving the fit of eyeglasses on a wearer, improving the skin safety of said wearer, or improving both said fit and said skin safety, by preparing eyeglasses having lenses, earpieces and nosepieces and at least one surface area that is in contact with the wearer's skin that is hydrophobic and provides airways for aeration of the skin so as to help keep the skin dry and provide less resistance to slippage in the upward direction, the backward direction, or both the upward and backward directions, with respect to the wearer's face, to keep the eyeglasses in position, and marketing said eyeglasses in association with a claim for the benefits of:
- skin safety improved fit stability;
- or both improved skin safety and improved fit stability, to improve the acceptance and use or said eyeglasses.
Eyeglasses having lenses, earpieces and nosepieces and at least one surface area that is in contact with wearer's skin and that is fabricated from a hydrophobic material and provides airways for aeration of the skin so as to help keep the skin dry and provides less resistance to slippage in the upward direction, the backward direction, or both the upward and backward directions with respect to the wearer's face to keep the eyeglasses in position, wherein said surface area is on either:
- the earpieces, the nosepieces, or both the earpieces and nosepieces, and wherein, when the said surface area is only on the nosepieces, the surface area comprises a pile fabric.
The method of improving the fit of eyeglasses on a wearer, improving the skin safety of said wearer, or improving both said fit and said skin safety, by preparing eyeglasses having lenses, earpieces and nosepieces and at least one surface area that is in contact with the wearer's skin that is hydrophobic and provides airways for aeration of the skin so as to help keep the skin dry and provide less resistance to slippage in the upward direction, the backward direction, or both the upward and backward directions, with respect to the wearer's face, to keep the eyeglasses in position, and marketing said eyeglasses in association with a claim for the benefits of:
- skin safety;
- improved fit stability;
- or both improved skin safety and improved fit stability, to improve the acceptance and use of said eyeglasses.
