WITNESSES [NVE/VTOR I 6 @%w?% I Adm nay Rs w. WASHINGTON n c UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
BLEEKER J. KNAPP, OF EVANSVILLE, INDIANA.
NOSE-GLASSES.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BLEEKER J. KNAPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Evansville, in the county of Vanderburg and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nose-Glasses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to nose-glasses; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed whereby the glasses are held on the nose.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an end view of a pair of nose-glasses showing how they are worn. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the glasses. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the glasses showing the spring plates in section. All of these figures are drawn to an enlarged scale for clearness.
A is a bridge-bar formed of rigid metal and having cranked arms B at its ends. The arms B project forwardly and downwardly at an angle to the bridge-bar, and are provided with sockets b at their free ends. 0 are the lenses which are secured to the sockets b, said sockets being of any approved form and construction.
D are two curved spring plates for holding the glasses on the nose. These spring plates are curved'in two directions, the front edges (2 being concave, and the adjacent sides 0 being convex and bent to fit the concave side portions of the nose. These spring plates are provided with slots or openings f to enable them to grip the skin of the nose to better advantage. The lower end portions of the spring plates D are secured to the end portions of the bridge-bar, and the spring lates roject upwardly at an angle to the ridgear. The lower end portions of the bridge-bar A are provided with downwardly projecting lugs d, and the spring-plates D are preferably secured to these lugs by rivets d Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed January 4, 1909.

Serial No. 470,569.
or other similar fastening devices, as when the springlates are soldered to the bridgebar their e asticity is impaired by the heat required to melt the solder. The extreme lower ends or extensions 9 of the s ring plates project a little below the arms and engage with the nose. The parts 9 are rigid, and their lower edges are ressed into engagement with the skin 0'' the nose. The bridge-bar rests on the bridge of the nose and supports the weight of the eyeglasses to a great extent, and the upper parts it of the spring plates spring toward each other and grip the side portions of the nose close under the arches of the brows, and press the parts A and 9 into engagement with the nose, so that the glasses cannot fall off.
What I claim is:
1. The combination, with a rigid bridgebar having cranked arms at its ends, and lenses carried by the said arms; of gripping plates having rigid and relatively short lower end portions and spring middle and upper end portions, and means for securing the rigid lower end portions of the said grippingplates to the end portions of the bridge-bar, the spring portions of the gripping-plates operating to wedge the said rigid portions on the nose.
2. The combination, with a rigid bridgebar having cranked arms and downwardly projecting lugs at its ends, and lenses carried by the said arms; of gripping-plates having rigid and relatively short lower end portions and spring middle and. upper end portions, and fastening devices which secure the rigid end portions of the grippmg-plates to the said lugs, the said rigid end portions being wedged on the nose by the action of the said spring portions.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
BLEEKER J. KNAIP.
Witnesses IDA RAIBLEY, BLANOHE WHITE.
