Interchangeable charm system for glasses
View Patent ↗Glasses for receiving interchangeable charms are disclosed. The glasses are adaptable for releasably and interchangeably attaching and securing a variety of charms such that the plane of the backside of the charm is flush against a convex or smooth outwardly facing surface on a pair of glasses. In a preferred embodiment, the glasses in the present invention comprise a depressed region further comprising a planar magnetic base surrounded on all sides by walls substantially perpendicular thereto. Each charm in the present invention has a second magnet adapted for tight fitment into said depressed region, so as to be held in place by magnetic attraction when brought into close proximity with said depressed region.
1. Glasses for attaching a variety of charms thereto, the glasses comprising:
a. a depressed cylindrical region comprising a planar magnetic base and walls surrounding and substantially perpendicular to said planar magnetic base;
i. wherein said planar magnetic base comprises a first magnet;
ii. wherein said depressed region is adapted for fitment of a cylindrical second magnet and said second cylindrical magnet is attached to a charm.
2. A magnetic charm system comprising:
a. glasses having at least one smooth surface that is convex in shape;
b. said glasses having a first material attached thereto, said first material recessed in a cavity in said at least one smooth surface;
c. a charm with a second material attached thereto, said second material sized for tight fitment in said cavity such that one side of said charm is flush with said at least one smooth surface;
d. wherein an attractive magnetic force urges said first material toward said second material; and
e. wherein said cavity is a cylindrical mold and said second material is a cylindrical protrusion for fitment into said mold, and wherein said mold is cylindrical and wherein said protrusion is cylindrical.
3. A method of decorating glasses, the method comprising the steps of:
a. providing glasses having at least one smooth surface that is convex in shape, said glasses having a first material attached thereto, said first material recessed in a cavity in said at least one smooth surface;
b. inserting a second material sized for tight fitment into said first cavity, wherein said second material is attached to a decorative charm, and wherein an attractive magnetic force urges said first material toward said second material such that a side of said decorative charm is substantially flush with said at least one smooth surface, and wherein said cavity is a cylindrical mold and said second material is a protrusion for fitment into said mold, and wherein said mold is cylindrical and wherein said protrusion is cylindrical.
