Abstract: |
An eyeglasses apparatus for attachment to a cap visor; the apparatus comprises two main parts, including a clip part which is selectively removably attachable to a cap visor and a main eyeglasses part which is hingedly engageable with a member of the clip part. The main eyeglasses part is integrally molded in a unitary construction, and preferably comprises either sunglasses or safety glasses. When the apparatus is attached to a cap visor, the main eyeglasses part can be readily pivotably moved between an operative position wherein the user's eyes are shielded and an inoperative position wherein the main eyeglasses part is disposed adjacent the underside of the cap visor.

I claim:
1. An eyeglasses apparatus, comprising:
- a clip part adapted to be selectively removably attached to a cap visor;
- said clip part including a substantially elongated member extending substantially in the transverse direction of said cap visor when said clip part is attached thereto;
- a main eyeglasses part;
- means for clipping said main eyeglasses part onto said elongated member of said clip part;
- said clipping means being integrally formed with said main eyeglasses part so as to extend integrally upwardly from a central portion of said main eyeglasses part;
- said clipping means being selectively directly engageable with said elongated member of said clip part so as to pivotably support said main eyeglasses part from said clip part such that said main eyeglasses part is pivotably movable between an operative position wherein said main eyeglasses part shields the eyes of a user and an inoperative position wherein said main eyeglasses part extends substantially parallel with said cap visor;
- said clipping means comprising a plurality of upwardly extending fingers adapted to hingedly engage with said elongated member of said clip part;
- said elongated member of said clip part being substantially straight;
- said clipping means comprising a central finger and a pair of side fingers, said side fingers being disposed on respective sides of said central finger and extending in oppositely facing relation thereto;
- said clipping means being hingedly engageable with said elongated straight member of said clip part such that said central finger engages said straight member on a side thereof opposite to a side of said straight member engaged by said side fingers;
- said straight member of said clip part having a substantially rectangular cross section;
- a pair of spaced apart ridge portions being formed around the periphery of said straight member of said clip part;
- said side fingers engaging said straight member of said clip part adjacent respective ones of said spaced apart ridge portions; and
- said side fingers abutting said ridge portions so as to prevent lateral movement of said main eyeglasses part relative to said clip part.
