Coil Reading Glasses

Coil reading glasses are designed to allow conventional-sized text to be easily read in poorly lit areas, even without an adequate light source. They feature clip-on eyeglass holders and high strength lights and mounts that collaborate to maximize lighted area within reading distance range.

LEDs in light modules 105 are mounted to form narrow cones of inwardly directed illumination, with their canted positioning limiting dissipation to areas outside the field of view 26 forwardly of lenses 12. This minimizes light dispersion.

Lightweight

Coil reading glasses provide a comfortable solution for extended wear as they do not require much force to remain attached, and feature a bi-stable ribbon spring which keeps them stable even when bent around the wrist, enabling users to perform tasks such as writing, stamping and coin collecting without worrying that their glasses might fall off their wrist. Furthermore, module mount 145 extends all the way to each end of clip-on frame to support light modules 105 that project light forward angledly while still remaining narrow, adding some length but maintaining an appealing overall frame design that’s essential in maintaining aesthetic design of these lighted glasses.

These reading glasses with lights don’t produce as much heat than other lighting devices attached to eyeglass frames, thanks to LED technology that produces only small amounts of illumination, much like those found on sunglasses frames. LEDs produce focused beams of illumination that illuminate whatever surface needs illumination – perfect for reading! Plus they don’t produce too much heat which makes these ideal candidates for lighted reading glasses.

Lighted reading glasses allow users to easily and clearly read conventionally sized text, such as that found in 10-12 point font, when held at their usual reading distances in dimly lit environments. This is accomplished using high intensity lights with mounts designed to orient the lights inwardly so they create an overlapping area of high brightness illumination within their predetermined reading distance range.

In one preferred embodiment, the lights consist of LEDs with a narrow viewing angle of around twenty degrees that can be canted inward to meet and overlap each other, creating an area of high brightness light with conical edges within a predetermined reading distance range that has more than doubled over time compared with when used separately without canting.

Comfort

Coil reading glasses feature an ergonomic grip for long periods of time in your hands, making them suitable for activities such as reading, watching television or looking at photographs, stamps and coins. Furthermore, these reading glasses can assist individuals who struggle with dyslexia or other reading disabilities to focus their attention on individual words and sentences more easily.

Illuminating devices designed for use with eyeglasses have been proposed, yet are ill-suited to their task due to producing significant heat and needing to remain on your eyes for an extended period. Furthermore, such glasses must be removed and repositioned each time reading takes place – potentially disrupting any reading progress that might otherwise take place.

The present invention provides lighted glasses 5 that enable a user to easily read text 10, such as 10-12 point font, within an area typically used for reading such text in dimly lit conditions. Each light 16 on these lighted glasses is fixed via light mounts 18 so as to illuminate an area 20 that overlaps with another lighted area 22 in order to maximize light availability within their reading distance range designated 24.
