Abstract:
A clip-on glasses assembly for mounting on primary glasses, the assembly comprising:(a) a pair of lens members; (b) at least one grapple on each of the pair of lens members for engaging the outer edges of the primary glasses; (c) a bridge coupled between the lens members, the bridge configured to slidably receive the lens members to allow movement of the lens members between an open position wherein a space between the grapples is large enough to allow the clip-on glasses to be mounted on and removed from the primary glasses, and a closed position wherein the space between the grapples is small enough to prevent the clip-on glasses from being mounted on or removed from the primary glasses; (d) means for biasing the lens members toward the closed position; and (e) an actuator bar having two ends, each end coupled to one of the lens members, whereby moving the actuator bar toward the bridge forces the ends of the actuator bar apart and moves the lens members into the open position.
