Abstract: |
Suspension Eyewear consists of a pair of ophthalmic lenses attached to a metal centerpiece in the manner of conventional rimless eyeglasses. Instead of hinges and temples there are two suspension lines attached to each lens near the outer edges, and at points sufficiently separated to provide stability. The plane of the front assembly to the face is controlled by adjusting the length of these lines in a device positioned just in front of and about midway the ear. A wirebound springwire attached to the adjusting device extends over and behind each ear to below the mastoid. These spring earwires will return the front assembly to proper alignment when it is lightly pushed or pulled, in any direction, and released.

I claim:
1. An improved eyeglasses and support combination which comprises:
- a first transparent member and a second transparent member attached to the first transparent member, the combined first and second transparent members being configured to be disposed in front of a person's eyes in a desired plane substantially parallel with a plane defined by the front surface of the person's eyes;
- a first pair of suspension lines attached at two spaced apart points to the first transparent member;
- a second pair of suspension lines attached at two spaced apart points to the second transparent member;
- first and second earpiece members, each earpiece member being configured to be positioned over and behind a respective ear of the person and attached to a respective pair of suspension lines, and
- means for fastening the first and second pair of suspension lines to the respective earpiece members to adjustably position the combined first and second transparent members in said desired plane, a result of said combination being that the combined first and second transparent members are held to occupy said desired plane and are forced to return thereto after an inadvertent dislocation.
