When a person wears glasses while walking in the rain, the raindrops on the glasses obstruct the view.
Description of the Invention:
A wiping aid which fits any existing glasses. This aid will constantly wipe rain drops off the glass allowing for a clear view.
The device includes a wipe for each lens, a powering mechanism (preferably electrical), batteries, and clipping mechanism to grab any existing glasses.
Optionally the speed of wiping can be controlled (similar to the function in a motor vehicle).
Existing Prior Art:
I know of kids toy glasses which has wipers but my invention can fit any glasses and is expected to be used and not played with as a toy.

A clip-on wipers are provided that attach to eyeglasses to prevent the buildup of raindrops or snow on the lenses. It attaches via a clip-on clamp thus allowing it to be removed when not needed. A battery pack, envisioned consisting of AAA batteries supplies power to a two-speed motor, via a control switch. The motor then drives a reciprocating mechanical linkage, which moves two small wiper blades across the surface of the lenses. Such action keeps the lenses free from rain and snow buildup when the glasses are worn outdoors in inclement weather.
Relevant Claims:
1. Wipers for attachment to otherwise conventional eyeglasses, said wipers comprising:a first housing for housing a battery; a second housing rigidly affixed to said first housing and separated by a rigid housing support, said second housing for housing a drive motor; said rigid housing support formed as a hollow, elongated tube affixed in rigid mechanical contact at each end to one said housing and in fluid communication with an interior cavity of each said housing; electrical communication wiring in electrical contact between the battery in the said first housing and the drive motor in said second housing via a hollow shaft within said rigid housing support; a first wiper arm pivotally mounted within said the first housing and extending downward therefrom is a first wiper arm; and a second wiper arm pivotally mounted within said second housing and extending downward therefrom is a second wiper arm; and wherein the intended connection of the wipers to a conventional pair of eyeglasses is via a rearward cantilever extended attachment clamp affixed to the rear of each housing.
1286783 Cleaning goggles, &c TAGADA SA 19 April 71 [6 Feb 1970] 22797/71 Heading A4F [Also in Division A6] Goggles or spectacles have wipers 4 for cleaning the lenses driven by an electric motor 5 mounted in a housing in the bridge 2a of the frame 2. The motor 5 drives a worm 5b meshing with a gear-wheel 6 integral with a cam 7, which on rotation reciprocates a rod 8 to oscillate wiper elements 4. In other embodiments the worm gearing is replaced by crank mechanism. The goggles may be constructed as a toy and have mounted on the frame 2 a nozzle adapted to be connected to a squeeze bulb for the projection of liquid as a practical joke.

Eyeglass wipers are provided for a pair of eyeglasses embodying a frame with a pair of lenses therein. Each of the eyeglass wipers consists of a wiper arm mounted at one end to a housing pivotly connected to one end and positioned forwardly of the frame. A mechanism is built into the housing for manually swinging the wiper arm across surface of the lenses and spraying lense cleaning fluid from the wiper arm onto the surface of the lense for maintaining the lense clean.
The self-cleaning eyeglasses are an invention that provides an efficient and convenient means for cleaning the surface of lenses without removing the eyeglasses from the face of the wearer. In order to accomplish this the present invention includes a novel design for a housing shaped to seat a watch battery and formed within the frame of the eyeglasses. Also introduced by the present invention is a dual motor design wherein each motor is housed in the frames of the eyeglasses above the lenses of the eyeglasses. The motors rotate a shaft over a fixed acute angle. Attached to the shafts of the motors are wiper arms held flush to the surface of the lenses. Also housed within the frames is an On\Off switch. When the switch is activated the watch battery will supply current to the motors which will drive the shaft to sweep the wiper arms over the lenses.
A pair of spectacles or goggles comprising a frame 1 with glass panels or lenses 4, side members 3, wipers 5 and a drive mechanism 6-11 for driving the wipers is characterised by a receptacle in at least one of the side members for a battery 13 for powering motor 6. Lamps 15 may be located above the lenses and may be lit by batteries 13
