Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pair of eyeglasses preset for connection to cellular telephones for transmitting and receiving calls.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide eyeglasses which, ' in addition to the normal optical and/or sunlight-barrier function, are capable of constituting a means for transmitting and receiving cellular telephone calls, so that the user can receive and make calls without taking his attention off the activity he is performing.
- a consequent object of the invention is to provide eyeglasses that reduce the risk of emission of electromagnetic waves, which are believed to be dangerous for human organs such as the brain.
- Another object is to provide eyeglasses that can be worn as easily and comfortably as conventional eyeglasses.
- a further object is to provide eyeglasses that can be used with any kind of cellular telephone.
- Another object is to provide eyeglasses in which the devices for transmitting and receiving cellular telephone calls are integrated so as to not alter their ergonomic features.
- a still further object is to provide eyeglasses whose structure allows industrial-scale production at competitive costs.
- eyeglasses characterized in that they comprise a microphone in a front part thereof, electronic noise-reduction components, connection cables located inside the structure, and a connector for a cable for connection to a cellular telephone.
- Figure 1 is a rear perspective view of eyeglasses according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is an enlarged-scale perspective view of a detail of the eyeglasses of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the eyeglasses of Figure 1 with a corresponding telephone;
- Figure 4 is a circuit diagram of the components located inside the frame of the eyeglasses;
- Figure 5 is a detail view of a universal three-contact connector for a connecting cable that is used;
- Figure 6 is a detail view of a four-contact connector for a connecting cable that is used.
- a pair of eyeglasses according to the invention is, as usual, constituted by a front 10, which supports lenses 11 (of the sight-correcting type or of the sunlight-barrier type), to the ends of which temples 12 are articulated.
- the eyeglasses comprise a microphone 13, preferably an ultraflat high-sensitivity one, which is located in the inner front part that is not in sight, for example of one of the temples 12.
- Electronic noise-reduction components are also located inside the frame, as well as connecting cables 16.
- a connector 17 for a cable 18 for connection to a cellular telephone 19 is also provided.
- the microphone 13 can also be integrated in the front 10, in which case electrical contacts for continuity must be provided at a corresponding hinge
- the connector 17 is of the female type and is embedded in a terminal 15, and can be of the commonly commercially available type that is complementary to a male connector 22 normally used in cellular telephone connections and located at the end of the connecting cable 18.
- the connecting cable also comprises a branch, at the end of which an in- ear headset 14 is arranged.
- the other end of the cable 18 is provided with another male connector 23, which can be inserted in a corresponding female connector 24 of the telephone 19.
- the connector 23 can be either of the universal three-contact type ( Figure
- the connector 17 is conveniently of the three-contact type in order to interface with all telephone connection kits.
- the connecting cables 16 are embedded in the plastics material in the case of eyeglasses with a frame made of plastics, or are located inside hollow regions of the structure in the case of eyeglasses having a metal structure.
- an SMD passive noise reduction component is arranged in parallel to the microphone 13; such component is constituted by a capacitor 27 with a resistor 28 in series, also of the SMD type, in order to eliminate all transmission noise caused by electrostatic discharges.
- a button 29 is further integrated in the temple 12, adjacent to the microphone 13, and is connected in parallel to the microphone 13 and in series to an interface resistor 30, which allows to recognize the clearance signal given by the button 29.
- the button 29, which avoids the need to pull out the telephone whenever it is used, has at least one of the following functions:
- the eyeglasses in fact appear to be entirely similar to normal corrective eyeglasses or sunglasses and can be used normally for this purpose, with the additional possibility, for example when driving, motorcycling, cycling or in other situations, to connect the microphone, by means of a cable, to a cellular telephone and to a corresponding in-ear headset and therefore to be able to transmit and receive calls.
