Description

Glasses device Technical Field The present disclosure relates generally to eyeglasses, and in particular to electronic eyeglasses. The present disclosure also relates to an electrical conductor housed in the eyeglasses to enable power to be supplied to the electrical components from a power source. Background Glasses are commonly used to aid or correct vision, protect the eye from harmful radiation or physical debris, and as fashion accessories. Recently, advances in technology have led to the integration of electronic components into eyeglasses to provide additional functionality, such as digital display, augmented Reality (AR), virtual Reality (VR), real-time communications, and health monitoring, among others. However, integrating such electronics into eyeglasses while maintaining aesthetics, comfort, and functionality presents significant challenges. One of the challenges is to accommodate the necessary power supply and ensure reliable electrical connection between the power supply and the electronic components, particularly while maintaining the design flexibility and structural integrity of the eyeglass. Typically, external wires are used to provide electrical connection between the power source and the electronic components. External wires potentially affect durability and ease of handling of the glasses due to hair or skin snagging by the external wires, or discomfort caused by pressure points on the wearer's head, exposure to environmental factors such as moisture, dust and extreme temperatures, which can adversely affect the performance of the glasses, thereby reducing the reliability and longevity of the glasses, snagging cables around objects such as hinges to damage other components of the glasses. In view of the above discussion, it is apparent that there is a need for an eyeglass system that seamlessly integrates electronic components, power supplies, and electrical conductors in a fashion, user-friendly design. Disclosure of Invention It is an object of the present disclosure to provide an eyeglass apparatus comprising an electrical conductor to enable power to be supplied to an electrical component from a power source housed inside the temple, as defined in the appended independent claims as cited. The electrical conductor passes through the space provided between the pins of the hinge, which is housed in the spectacles. The passage of the electrical conductor through the space prevents external damage and ensures that the mechanical hinge function is not hindered. In addition, aesthetics are also increased by hiding the electrical conductors within the hinge or temple. In addition, the use of structural space around the hinge helps in a more compact, balanced and aesthetically pleasing eyeglass. Advantageous features are set out in the appended dependent claims. In the description and claims herein, the words "comprise" and "contain" and variations of the words (e.g., "comprising" and "comprises") mean "including but not limited to", and do not exclude other elements, integers or steps. Furthermore, unless the context requires otherwise, the singular shall cover the plural, and in particular, where the indefinite article is used, the plural as well as the singular shall be construed to be in view of the plural unless the context requires otherwise. Drawings The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments, is better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the disclosure, there is shown in the drawings exemplary constructions of the disclosure. However, the disclosure is not limited to the specific methods and instrumentalities disclosed herein. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the drawings are not drawn to scale. Wherever possible, like elements are designated by the same reference numerals.
