On this day in 1953, Paul Astruck was granted U.S. Patent No. 2,628,352 for SUNGLASSES, GOGGLES AND THE LIKE.
This invention relates to sun glasses, goggles and the like for the eyes in which the eye-pieces are hingedly mounted in a frame so as to be movable in the frame to be over the eyes or at various upward angles in front of the eyes, and has for its object to construct such type of sun glasses, goggles or the like in an improved manner.
According to this invention, a pair of sun glasses, goggles or the like comprises a frame with hingedly connected ear-pieces, a bridge for the nose, and flexible eye-pieces hingedly connected to the frame on short projections such as lugs or pins on the frame engaging in sockets such as recesses or holes in the side edges of the eye-pieces, or by short lugs or pins on the eye-pieces engaging in holes or recesses in the frame.
Preferably the eye-pieces are of greater width than the eye-piece openings so that when engaged on the lugs or pins the eye-pieces are slightly concave and under tension.
