Title:
CLIP-ON SUNGLASSES WITH BRIDGE MOUNTING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999015931
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
Clip-on type sunglasses include an improved mounting arrangement in which the bridge portion of the sunglass frame is adapted to fit behind the bridge of the eyeglasses on which the sunglasses are mounted, forming part of the mounting arrangement which also includes a pair of mounting clips. One mounting clip is located at the bottom of each eyewire, corresponding to the approximate middle of the lens, which receives the lower edges of the frame of the eyeglasses on which the sunglasses are mounted. Using the bridge portion of the sunglasses as part of the mounting arrangement eliminates the need for mounting clips on the upper portion of the sunglass frame. The spacing of the bridge member from the back of the sunglass lenses and the orientation of the angled member, formed by the lower arms of the central part of the bridge, enable the sunglasses to be used on a variety of eyeglass frames, including frames having single and double bridge elements.
