Abstract

In one aspect, a user-wearable illumination assembly 10 includes eyeglass frames 12 and a headlamp 20 removably coupled to the eyeglass frames 12. Electrical circuitry 58 may be integrated with the eyeglass frames 12. The headlamp 20 and the eyeglass frames 12 have mounting structure 22, 26 that cooperate to removably support the headlamp 20 thereon. A light source 36 is disposed within the headlamp 20 and electrical communication between the light source 36 and the electrical circuitry 58 of the eyeglass frames 12 is provided by electrical contacts 40, 42 associated with the mounting structures 22, 26 of the headlamp 20 and eyeglass frames 12. In another aspect, a user-wearable illumination assembly 210 for use with eyeglass frames 212 includes a clip assembly 230 that is selectively removably couplable to a bridge portion 214 of the eyeglass frames 212, and a headlamp 240 coupled to the clip assembly 230. The illumination assembly 210 further includes a battery 260, 260b that is selectively removably couplable to the eyeglass frames 212 and at least one electrical conductor 272a, 272b coupling the battery 260a, 260b to the headlamp 240.
