User-wearable illumination assembly
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.
1. A wearable illumination assembly comprising:
an eyeglass frame comprising a front portion having a bridge, a first temple arm, and a second temple arm, each of the first and second temple arms having a terminal end opposite the front portion of the eyeglass frame;
a headlamp coupled to the bridge of the front portion;
a first battery housing coupled to the terminal end of the first temple arm via a first flexible connection so that the first battery housing is positionably adjustable relative to the first temple arm; and
a second battery housing coupled to the terminal end of the second temple arm via a second flexible connection so that the second battery housing is positionably adjustable relative to the second temple arm.
2. The wearable illumination assembly of claim 1 , further comprising user-actuable controls on the headlamp, wherein the controls are operable to turn the headlamp on and off.
3. The wearable illumination assembly of claim 2 , wherein the user-actuable controls are further operable to adjust an output intensity of the headlamp.
4. The wearable illumination assembly of claim 2 , wherein the user-actuable controls comprise a touch-sensitive capacitance switch.
5. A wearable illumination assembly comprising:
an eyeglass frame 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 frame;
a mounting structure on a bridge of the eyeglass frame;
a headlamp 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.
6. The wearable illumination assembly of claim 5 , further comprising user-actuable controls on the headlamp, wherein the controls are operable to turn the headlamp on and off.
7. The wearable illumination assembly of claim 6 , wherein the user-actuable controls are further operable to adjust an output intensity of the headlamp.
8. The user-wearable illumination assembly of claim 6 , wherein the user-actuable controls comprise a touch-sensitive capacitance switch.
