Kit for removably attaching eyeglasses to headwear

Abstract

A kit for securing eyeglasses to headwear includes a hat attachment assembly having a magnetic pin plate and a receiving plate. A pin extends from the backside of the pin plate and is engaged with an aperture defined in the receiving plate. A temple attachment member has a body defining a top side, a bottom side, opposing sidewalls and a channel defined therethrough. The a recessed area is defined in the bottom side and has a magnet attachment means therein. The channel is designed to slidably engage the temple of the glasses on which the temple attachment member has been deployed. A magnet engaged to the magnet attachment means cooperates with the magnetic pin plate to magnetically secure the temples of the glasses to the side panels of the hat.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A temple attachment member for a kit configured to removably attach eyeglasses having a temple to headwear having a side panel, the temple attachment member comprising:
 a body having a top side, a bottom side, opposing sidewalls, and a channel defined therethrough, the channel configured to slidably engage the temple of the eyeglasses; and   the bottom side having an externally recessed area and a magnet attachment means.   
     
     
         2 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , wherein the magnet attachment means comprises the recessed area having an outer diameter configured to frictionally engage a magnet. 
     
     
         3 . The temple attachment member of  claim 2 , further comprising a magnet in the recessed area and secured by the magnet attachment means. 
     
     
         4 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , further comprising a hole defined through the bottom side. 
     
     
         5 . The temple attachment member of  claim 4 , wherein the hole fluidically connects the recessed area to the channel. 
     
     
         6 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , wherein the opposing sidewalls bulge outward and away from the channel. 
     
     
         7 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , wherein the top side is substantially flat. 
     
     
         8 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , further comprising a magnet engaged to the bottom surface by the magnet attachment means. 
     
     
         9 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , wherein the magnet attachment means comprises a lipped outer edge formed in the recessed area and configured to secure a magnet. 
     
     
         10 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , wherein the magnet attachment means comprises an adhesive applied to an inner surface of the recessed area to adhesively secure a magnet press-fit into the recessed area. 
     
     
         11 . The temple attachment member of  claim 1 , wherein the temple attachment member comprises a silicone rubber. 
     
     
         12 . A kit to removably attach eyeglasses having a temple to a headwear having a side panel, the kit comprising:
 a hat attachment assembly configured to attach to the side panel of the headwear, the hat attachment assembly having a magnetic pin plate, a receiving plate, and a pin extending from a backside of the magnetic pin plate, the receiving plate defining an aperture configured to engage the pin;   a temple attachment member having a top side, a bottom side, opposing sidewalls, and a channel defined therethrough and configured to slidably engage the temple of the eyeglasses, wherein a recessed area is defined in the bottom side; and   a magnet frictionally fit within the recessed area, the magnet configured to removably engage with the magnetic pin plate.   
     
     
         13 . The kit of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a second hat attachment assembly identical to the hat attachment assembly, and a second temple attachment member identical to the temple attachment member.   
     
     
         14 . The kit of  claim 11 , wherein the aperture comprises internal threads. 
     
     
         15 . The kit of  claim 14 , wherein the pin comprises external threads complimentary to the internal threads of the aperture. 
     
     
         16 . The kit of  11 , wherein at least an outer surface of the magnetic pin plate comprises a ferromagnetic material. 
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 11 , wherein the magnet comprises a neodymium magnetic disk. 
     
     
         18 . The kit of  claim 11 , further comprising an adhesive applied to an inner surface of the recessed area to adhesively secure the magnet frictionally fit within the recessed area. 
     
     
         19 . The kit of  claim 11 , wherein the top side of the temple attachment member defines a flat surface configured to prevent rotation about the temple of the eyeglasses. 
     
     
         20 . The kit of  claim 11 , wherein an outer edge of the recessed area further comprises an annular lip configured to hold the magnetic disk within the recessed area.
