Abstract

An eyeglass lens piece ( 10 ) configured for both forward and rearward viewing by a user comprises at least one curved transparent section extending in front of, above, between and below the user's eyes and a distance laterally from the sides of said user's eyes to the approximate sides of the user's head, a housing ( 11 ) arranged at an edge in the lower section ( 12 ) of the lens piece ( 10 ), projecting from the lens piece, and a mirror ( 15 ) arranged in the housing in a position offset from the curved transparent section.

Claims (21)

1. An eyeglass lens piece configured for both forward and rearward viewing by a user, comprising:

at least one curved transparent section extending in front of, above, between and below the user's eyes and a distance laterally from the sides of said user's eyes to the approximate sides of the user's head,

a housing arranged in an edge section of the lens piece, projecting from the lens piece, and

a mirror arranged in the housing in a position offset from the curved transparent section.

2. An eyeglass lens piece according to claim 1 , where the housing projects a distance allowing the mirror to be offset 0-1 cm with respect to the surface of the lens piece, allowing a depth of field required for a rearview.

3. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 2 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

4. Eyeglass lens piece according to claim 1 , where there are one or two housings, arranged at one or both side edges of the laterally extended section of the curved transparent section.

5. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 4 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

6. Eyeglass lens piece according to claim 1 , where the curved transparent section is substantially spheroidal curved.

7. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 6 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

8. Eyeglass lens piece according to claim 1 , where the curved transparent section and the housing is one integrated unit.

9. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 8 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

10. Eyeglass lens piece according to claim 1 , where the mirror is arranged in the housing with an angle relative to the curvature of the curved transparent section.

11. Eyeglass lens piece according to claim 10 , where the curved transparent section has a symmetry axis and the mirror is arranged in the housing to be substantially perpendicular to the symmetry axis.

12. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 11 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

13. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 10 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

14. Eyeglass lens piece according to claim 1 comprising an angular adjustment mechanism arranged in the housing and connecting the mirror adjustable to the housing.

15. An eyeglass lens piece according to claim 14 , where the housing projects a distance, which combined with the angular adjustment mechanism, offsets the mirror 1-2 cm with respect to the outer surface of the lens piece, allowing a depth of field required for a rearview.

16. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 15 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

17. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 14 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.

18. Eyeglasses comprising a lens piece according to claim 1 , said eyeglass lens piece adapted by a supporting means on the head and centered a predetermined space distance in front of the user's eyes.
