Spectacle cleaning device for domestic use

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A spectacle cleaning device comprising: an open top container for containing a liquid detergent and spectacles, a cover movable between a first position spaced from said open top of the container and a second position where it covers said open top, an air diffusor mounted in the container below the level of the liquid for air agitating said liquid detergent, an electrically energizable pressurized air generator for feeding pressurized air to said diffusor, an electric voltage supply, a push-button switch for controlling the energization of said generator by said supply, and fixed abutment means for depressing said push-button switch when the cover is moved to its second position, so as to activate said air generator.
2.
The spectacle cleaning device of claim 1, wherein said cover is constituted by a movable casing which contains said air generator, the latter being connected to said diffusor by a flexible hose.
3.
The spectacle cleaning device of claim 1, wherein said air generator is fed by an electric current source with a current at a voltage equal to or lower than 24 volts.




Description:
The present invention relates to a spectacle cleaning device for domestic use.
The term "spectacles", as used herein, designates the assembly constituted by a spectacle frame and the associated optical lenses mounted thereon, which lenses may be or may not be corrective lenses.
Spectacle cleaning devices are already known; however, these known appliances are generally adapted to be used on an industrial scale and are thus too expensive for an individual user who desires periodically to clean his or her spectacles with a view to keeping them in good condition.
The known cleaning devices comprise a container adapted to contain a liquid detergent submitted to the effect of ultrasonic vibration with a view to enhancing its cleaning efficiency.
The considerable cost of the ultrasonic generators used in these known devices is the main cause of the elevated price of such devices
