Abstract
Lighted eyewear is described that projects light forwardly thereof. The eyewear includes a cross frame portion with temple arm portions extending rearwardly therefrom. Light mounts at forward portions of the temple arm portions include a forward opening and an interior space. Light emitting diodes are received in the interior space of the temple arm light mounts are mounted to project light through the forward openings thereof to a position forwardly of the cross-frame portion. A mounting surface of each light mount orients the light emitting diodes at a predetermined inwardly canted angle relative to normal from the lateral axis of the cross frame portion with the temple arm portions extending rearwardly from the cross frame portion.

18. Lighted glasses comprising:
-
a pair of lenses having outer portions and inner portions with the inner portions being adjacent to and laterally spaced from each other; a pair of lights associated with the lenses each projecting a light beam forwardly of the lenses; a pair of temple arm assemblies that extend rearwardly from adjacent the outer portions of the lenses when the lighted reading glasses are configured to be worn with the temple arm assemblies having the lights fixedly mounted relative thereto at an inwardly canted angle so that the light beams thereof overlap to provide an overlapping lighted area closer to the lenses than provided by uncanted lights; and support surfaces of the temple arm assemblies for the lights having a predetermined configuration that are fixed relative to the temple arm assemblies to orient the lights at the inwardly canted angle to be fixed against movement in any direction relative to the temple arm assemblies to avoid the need to adjust the lights to create the overlapping lighted area. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
