Flip Up Interchangeable System
First Claim
1. An eyewear apparatus, comprising:
- a frame;
means to maintain said frame in an as-used position substantially horizontally disposed, above the eyes of a user;
at least one lens assembly;
said lens having a first viewing portion positionable adjacent to a right side of said user'"'"'s nose;
said lens assembly having a second viewing portion positionable adjacent to a left side of said user'"'"'s nose opposite said first side;
a pivotable engagement of said frame with said lens assembly providing rotation between a raised position substantially above said user'"'"'s eyes, and a lowered position disposed in front of said user'"'"'s eyes;
said first viewing portion of said lens assembly having first lens area configured to allow a right-eye image of a 3D projection, to pass therethrough; and
said second viewing portion of said lens assembly having a second lens area configured to allow a left-eye image of a 3D image, to pass therethrough, whereby said lens assembly is moveably by said user between said raised position providing an unfiltered viewing from said user'"'"'s eyes and said lowered position providing filtered viewing of said 3D image through said first viewing portion and said second viewing portion.

Abstract
Eyewear having a pivoted engagement of lenses with a lens frame worn on the head of the user. A lens assembly holding the lens or lenses is rotatable out of the user'"'"'s view when not required for viewing such as when conversing with a friend or when wearing tinted lenses and needing unfiltered viewing. Biasing of the rotatable assembly provides for automatic rotation upward out of the field of view of the user upon release of a retaining component. The rotational engagement of lenses relative to a head worn frame may be employed in combination with prescription lenses, sunglass lenses, or 3D filtering lenses for viewing 3D media in the same rotational engagement and in one mode of the device are removable.
