Abstract

A wireless headlight assembly for attachment to an eyewear frame is disclosed. The wireless headlight assembly comprises a battery pod containing a battery connected to a lower housing element, which controls the application of power from the battery to an attached headlight assembly containing a headlight.

Claims (75)

1. An eyewear comprising:

a frame comprising;

a right section, said right section comprising:

a right lens;

a left section, said left section comprising:

a left lens; and

a bridge connecting said right section and said left section;

a T-slot connector connected to said bridge section midway between the right section and the left section;

a headlight assembly comprising:

a lens positioned on a first end of said headlight assembly;

a light emitting source configured to:

project a light through said lens;

a T-slot connector positioned on a second end of said headlight assembly, wherein said T-slot connector positioned on said second end of said headlight assembly is configured to:

engage said T-slot connector connected to said bridge; and

a power source configured to:

physically attach to said headlight assembly, said power source comprising:

an electronic circuit comprising:

a switch; and

a battery pod containing a battery therein, said battery configured to output a voltage, wherein said switch is configured to:

apply said voltage to said light emitting source in response to an activation of said switch.

2. The eyewear of claim 1 , wherein each of said right lens and said left lens comprising:

a telescopic assembly, wherein said telescopic assembly is oriented at a depression angle with respect to a horizontal axis.

3. The eyewear of claim 1 , wherein said switch is one of:

a physical touch switch and a capacitive touch switch.

4. The eyewear of claim 3 , wherein said physical touch switch comprises:

a concave element, wherein said switch is activated by a depression of said concave element.

5. The eyewear of claim 4 , wherein said concave element contacts a first end of said battery when depressed.

6. The eyewear of claim 4 , wherein said concave element remains in contact with said first end when depressed.

7. The eyewear of claim 3 , wherein said capacitive touch switch comprises:

a metal element, wherein said switch is activated by a detection by said electronic circuit of a change in capacitance of said metal element.

8. The eyewear of claim 1 , wherein said light emitting source comprises:

at least one light-emitting diode selected from a group consisting of: red light emitting diodes, green light emitting diodes, blue light emitting diodes and white light emitting diodes.

9. The eyewear of claim 8 , wherein said at least one light emitting diode comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes arranged in an alternating color pattern.

10. The eyewear of claim 1 , wherein said T-slot connector attached to said bridge comprises:

a male T-slot; and

said T-slot connector attached to said lighting assembly comprises:

a female T-slot.

11. The eyewear of claim 1 , wherein said T-slot connector attached to said lighting assembly comprises:

a male T-slot; and

said T-slot connector attached to said bridge comprises:

a female T-slot.

12. A eyewear system comprising:

a frame comprising:

a first lens, said first lens comprising:

a first telescopic element;

a second lens, said second lens comprising:

a second telescopic element; and

a bridge section between said first lens and said second lens, said bridge section comprising a male T-slot connector;

a lighting assembly comprising:

a lighting source configured to:

emit a light through a first end of said lighting assembly, and

a female T-slot connector on a second end of said light assembly, wherein said female T-slot connector is configured to engage said male T-slot connector; and

a battery assembly configured to:

engage said lighting assembly, said battery assembly comprising

a battery configured to:

output a voltage; and

an electronic circuit comprising:

a switch, wherein said electronic circuit is configured to:

 receive said voltage; and

 provide said voltage to said lighting source upon activation of said switch.

13. The eyewear system of claim 12 , wherein said electronic circuit is configured to:

remove said voltage from said lighting source upon a second activation of said switch.

14. The eyewear system of claim 13 , wherein said second activation of said switch comprises:

a depression of said physical touch switch.

15. The eyewear system of claim 13 , wherein said second activation of said switch comprises:

a change in capacitance of said capacitive touch switch.

16. The eyewear system of claim 12 , wherein said switch comprises:

a physical touch switch, wherein said activation of said switch comprises:

a depression of said physical touch switch.

17. The eyewear system of claim 12 , wherein said switch comprises:

a capacitive touch switch, wherein said activation of said switch comprises:

a change in capacitance of said capacitive touch switch.

18. The eyewear system of claim 12 , wherein said first telescopic element and said second telescopic element are oriented at a downward angle with respect to a horizontal axis of said eyewear.

19. The eyewear system of claim 12 , wherein said light source comprises:

at least one light-emitting diode selected from a group consisting of: a red-light emitting diode, a green light emitting diode, a blue light emitting diode and a white light emitting diode.
