  • the invention relates to eyewear, particularly to devices for altering the appearance of eyeglass frames and to sets comprised of one or more such devices coupled with a primary frame and lenses, and, in some cases, a clip-on sunglasses or other accessories.
  • An object of this invention is to provide means by which a primary frame and lenses can be given different looks for different occasions. For instance, one may desire a business-like appearance during working hours and then a more striking orsimilar appearance for a dinner date. Neither case ordinarily requires the wearing of sunglasses.
  • cover clip-ons for a part of the front portion of the primary frame. These clip-ons mask a front portion of the primary frame to a view from the front and preferably also sideways, for instance from the top.
  • the covers of the inverition in masking a portion of the primary frame, may alter the visual effect of the eyewear in a large number of ways.
  • the covers may differ from the primary frame in color, in material, in mottling and marbling, in texture, in shape, and any of the large number of other means used by fashion designers to achieve unique looks .
  • Cellulose acetate is a preferred material of construction for the covers.
  • Other frame materials such as light nylon (TR 90), may be used as well.
  • TR 90 light nylon
  • the cover clip-ons of the invention may attach to the primary frame using the various techniques applied for connecting sunglass clip-ons to a primary frame. Other techniques, not used for sunglass clip-ons, may also be used.

  • the present invention may supplemented, as well, with the temple coverlets of my above-referenced U.S. Patent No. 6,089,707.
  • the invention further includes sets comprised of one or more of the cover clip-ons of the present invention coupled with a primary frame and lenses, and a clip-on sunglasses.
  • My patent 6,089,707 shows coordination of a primary frame and lenses with a clip-on sunglasses. For these reasons the entire patent 6,089,707 is incorporated here by reference.
  • Figs. 1 and 8-10 are exploded perspective views of eyewear sets of the present invention.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are top and front views of the cover clip-on of Fig. 1;
  • Figs. 4-6 are top, front, and side views of the clip-on of Figs; 2 and 3 assembled with a primary eyeglasses;
  • Fig. 7 is a front view of a primary eyeglasses;
  • the primary eyeglasses of Fig. 1 include frame 10 with frame front portion 12, a pair of eyeglass lenses 14, 14', left and right temples 16,16', and left and right hinges 18,18'.
  • Front portion 12 holds the pair of eyeglass lenses 14, 14' in spatial alignment with respect to each other and, during use, also with respect to the eyes of the eyeglass wearer.
  • Front portion 12 includes bridge section 20 connecting left and right eyeglass rim sections 22, 22', and left and right end pieces 21,21' on the outer sides of the left and right eyeglass rim sections 22,22'.
  • Left and right temples 16, 16' are pivotally attached to front portion 12 by, respectively, left and right hinges 18, 18' thereby allowing left and right temples 16, 16' to be folded inwardly to make eyeglass frame 10 more compact when not in use.
  • the front portion 12 and the left and right temples 16, 16' are preferably made of metal but may be made of any material or combination of materials known to one skilled in the art.
  • the embodiment of Fig. 1 also includes a cover clip-on 60 of the present invention.
  • Clip-on 60 which is configured to clip onto the front portion 12 of frame 10, comprises a bridge clip 64, left and right rim sections 66, 66', and left and right retainer clips 68, 68'.
  • the rim sections 66, 66' are preferably made of plastic material and are most preferably made of zyl.
  • Bridge clip 64 connects left and right rim sections 66, 66'. Bridge clip 64 and left and right retainer clips 68, 68' cooperate to permit cover clip-on 60 to be detachably attached to cover the top eye rim sections of frame front portion 12.
  • Bridge clip 64 may be any type of a resilient metal clip known to one skilled in the art that is adaptable to releasably engage eyeglass frame bridge section 20 so as to aid in the retention of cover clip-on 60 to eyeglass front portion 12.

  • left and right retainer clips 68, 68' respectively, engage left and right end pieces 21,21' of front portion 12 to mechanically attach cover clip-on 60 to frame 10.
  • Left and right retainer clips 68, 68' preferably have a hook-shape and are made of a resilient metal. However, they may be any clip of any material and design known to one skilled in the art that is capable of being adapted to releasably engage the right and left end pieces of front portion 12 so as to cooperate with bridge clip 64 to detachably attach cover clip-on 60 to eyeglass frame front portion 12.
  • the conversion of the primary eyeglasses in this embodiment of Fig. 1 is accomplished by attaching cover clip- on 60 to eyeglass front portion 12. Attachment of clip-on 60 to eyeglass front portion 12 may be accomplished by first hooking one of the retainer clips 68, 68', respectively, on its respective end piece of front portion 12, then rotating cover clip-on 60 into frontal alignment with eyeglass front portion 12 while bringing resilient bridge clip 64 under and beneath bridge section 20, then lifting the remaining retainer clip up and onto its end piece. Reconversion of the converted eyeglasses to the primary eyeglasses is accomplished by reversing the described procedure.
  • cover clip-on 60 and its assembled relationship to primary eyeglasses will now be treated.
  • the rim sections 66,66' include frontal lips 70,70' and roofs 72,72'.
  • the lips mask the top eye rims of front portion 12 from view from the front
  • the roofs mask the top eye rims of front portion 12 from view from the top.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 provide top and front views, respectively, of the cover clip-on 60 of Fig. 1, showing bridge clip 64, left and right rim sections 66, 66', and left and right retainer clips 68, 68'. Either of these views emphasizes the character of this embodiment of the invention, that it is essentially in the form of a strip having two top eye rim cover sections interconnected by a bridge.
  • Figs. 4 to 6 are top, front, and side views of the cover clip-on 60 assembled with primary eyeglasses.
  • Bridge clip 64 is hooked under bridge section 20
  • left and right rim sections 66, 66' are masking the top eye rims of front portion 12
  • left and right retainer clips 68, 68' are hooked onto the end pieces 21,21'.
  • cover clip-on 60 has been resiliently bent to conform to, and cover, the top eye rims of the primary eyeglasses. The resulting spring tension keeps clip-on 60 attached to the primary eyeglasses, until it is intentionally removed.
  • Figs. 7 and 5 provide a before and after comparison, respectively, of primary eyeglasses and primary eyeglasses converted by the present invention, as observed in front view. It is understood, of course, that fashion designers will be able to embellish the cover clip-on of the invention to provide an immense variety of looks.
  • Fig. 8 adds to Fig. 1 left and right temple coverlets 40, 40' from my patent 6,089,707.
  • This set of the invention couples conversion of the top eye rims of the primary eyeglasses with conversion also of its temples.
  • the frames are converted to give a look competitive with eyeglasses such as the cafe Ole and BCBG MAXAZRIA styles, where the top eye rims and temples are thicker than the bottom eye rims.
  • the styles Cafe Ole and BCBG MAXAZRIA appear, respectively, at pages 86 and 107 of the trade magazine 20/20, Aug. 2000, Vol. 27, Issue 9, a Jobson Publication, New York, NY.
  • Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate alternative structures for attaching cover clip-ons of the invention to a primary eyeglasses. Both of these structures are adapted from clip- on sunglasses.
  • cover clip-on 74 carries permanent magnets 76,76' which cling to permanent magnets 78,78' in the temple-parallel legs of the end pieces 21,21'.
  • the situation is only slightly different, in that the permanent magnets 80,80' of cover clip-on 82 cling to permanent magnets 84,84' in the front-portion-parallel legs of end pieces 21,21'.
  • the magnetism is so strong that inter- hooking of the bridges is not required.
  • the bridge of the clip-on of Fig. 9 may simply extend parallel to bridge section 20, without hooking over or under it.
  • the bridge of the clip-on of Fig. 10 for example, may hook over and engage bridge section 20, to stabilize the central section.
