Specially Tinted Lenses For Sunglasses For Use During Flying

US Patent:
7328998, Feb 12, 2008
Filed:
May 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/421355
Inventors:
Raymond L. Hobbs - Tulsa OK, US
International Classification:
G02C 7/16
US Classification:
351 45, 351 46
Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward specially tinted lenses for use in flying airplanes. In the present invention, the far field of vision is highly tinted to reduce the light from a sunlit sky, over sunlit cloud tops, or in clouds. This enables an aircraft pilot to easily see out of the cockpit into highly illuminated environments. The intermediate field of vision is essentially clear to enable the pilot to easily see a dimly illuminated instrument panel as compared to outside the aircraft. The near field of vision may have a range of tinting from clear to up to a medium tinted value for reading maps and other material. In addition, the change in tinting is discontinuous, that is, sharp, from one field of vision to another. The present invention works because the aircraft structure, that is, the nose and instrument panel, blocks outside light from coming into the intermediate field of vision where the lens is clear.
