Abstract

A user-wearable illumination assembly comprising eyeglass frames supporting a pair of lenses, a mounting structure on a bridge of the eyeglass frames, a headlamp removably coupled to the mounting structure, a battery housing removably coupled to the headlamp, and a battery inside the battery housing.

Claims (13)

1. A user-wearable illumination assembly comprising:

eyeglass frames comprising first and second temple arms, each of the first and second temple arms having a terminal end opposite a front portion of the eyeglass frames;

a mounting structure on a bridge of the eyeglass frames;

a headlamp removably coupled to the mounting structure;

a first battery housing coupled to the terminal end of the first temple arm; and

a second battery housing coupled to the terminal end of the second temple arm;

wherein the first battery housing is positionably adjustable relative to the first temple arm;

wherein the second battery housing is positionably adjustable relative to the second temple arm;

wherein the first battery housing comprises a first flexible connecting structure coupled to the terminal end of the first temple arm to facilitate positionably adjusting the first battery housing relative to the first temple arm; and

wherein the second battery housing comprises a second flexible connecting structure coupled to the terminal end of the second temple arm to facilitate positionably adjusting the second battery housing relative to the second temple arm.

2. The user-wearable illumination assembly of claim 1 , further comprising user-actuable controls on the headlamp, the controls operable to turn the headlamp on and off.

3. The user-wearable illumination assembly of claim 2 , wherein the user-actuable controls are operable to adjust an output intensity of the headlamp.

4. The user-wearable illumination assembly of claim 3 , wherein the user-actuable controls comprise a touch-sensitive capacitance switch.
