Patent attributes
A single lens pince-nez, comprising a bridge member (11) adapted to extend over the bridge of the nose of a person and engage the sides of the bridge of the nose, and a single lens (10) attached to the bridge member (11) in a position located in front of one eye of the person when the person wears the pince-nez, is very suitable for use as make-up “glasses”, since it does not obstruct the applying of make-up on one side of the face of the wearer of the “glasses”, and is comfortable to wear thanks to its low weight. By selecting a high refractive index glass for the lens (10) and a beta titanium alloy for the bridge member (11), the weight can by reduced even more. Preferably, the single lens (10) is pivotally attached to the bridge member (11), so that it can be swung vertically or horizontally from one eye to the other.
