Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
Binocular spectacles, for detachable mounting on eyeglass frames, comprising: at least one magnifying lens; an elongated, flexible strip of wire, bent at its center so as to form a downwardly-extending, U-shaped lip for disposal over the top of the eyeglass frames and a pair of downwardly extending end members for disposal along the contour of the eyeglass frames adjacent the lenses thereof, and further bent at its ends so as to form upwardly extending U-shaped lips at the ends of said end members for engaging and receiving the eyeglass frames adjacent the lenses thereof, said strip of wire being coupled to said lens for mounting said lens on the eyeglass frames; and an elongated, planar strip of rigid material, pivotably coupled at one end to said lens and at the other end to said end members for pivotably mounting said lens on said strip of wire so that said lens is pivotable independently with respect to said planar strip of material, and said lens and said strip of material are pivotable with respect to said strip of wire.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
Binocular spectacles, for detachable mounting on eyeglass frames, comprising: at least one magnifying lens; an elongated, flexible strip of wire, bent at its center so as to form a downwardly-extending, U-shaped lip for disposal over the top of the eyeglass frames and a pair of downwardly extending end members for disposal along the contour of the eyeglass frames adjacent the lenses thereof, and further bent at its ends so as to form upwardly extending U-shaped lips at the ends of said end members for engaging and receiving the eyeglass frames adjacent the lenses thereof, said strip of wire being coupled to said lens for mounting said lens on the eyeglass frames; and an elongated, planar strip of rigid material, pivotably coupled at one end to said lens and at the other end to said end members for pivotably mounting said lens on said strip of wire so that said lens is pivotable independently with respect to said planar strip of material, and said lens and said strip of material are pivotable with respect to said strip of wire.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
102 words
The binocular spectacles as recited in claim 1, wherein said planar strip of material includes a pair of cylindricaL apertures disposed at each end thereof integrally formed therewith, a first U-shaped flange, affixed to said lens and pivotably coupled to said strip by a cylindrical bolt disposed through said flange and one of said apertures disposed in said strip of material, and a second rigid U-shaped flange, disposed over said end members, and pivotably coupled to said planar strip of material by a cylindrical bolt disposed through said second flange and said aperture in the other end of said strip of material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
The binocular spectacles as recited in claim 2, wherein said lens comprises a pair of magnifying lenses, integrally formed with each other so as to form a unitary lens member, each of the magnifying lenses being disposed in front of a corresponding one of the lenses of the eyeglass frames.
