Wearable illumination assembly for eyeglass frames
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965642B2) discloses a wearable illumination assembly designed for use with an eyeglass frame. The assembly includes a headlamp that can be attached to the bridge portion of the eyeglass frame, a battery housing, and an external electrical conductor that connects the battery housing to the headlamp without passing through the frame's temple arms. A strap is provided to support the battery housing, which hangs behind the wearer's neck to counterbalance the headlamp when the eyeglass frame is worn. The strap can be removably coupled to both temple arms of the frame for stability.
Additionally, the wearable illumination assembly may include features such as a conduit for routing the electrical conductor, a clip assembly for attaching the headlamp to the frame, deformable strap members for comfort, adjustable components for customization, and user controls for activating and adjusting the headlamp's intensity. The assembly may also incorporate a rechargeable battery with an indicator to display the charge level, as well as optical loupe attachments for magnified viewing. Overall, the patent highlights a versatile and ergonomic design for a wearable illumination solution that integrates seamlessly with an eyeglass frame, offering practicality and convenience for users in need of hands-free lighting.
