Abstract: An eyewear frame assembly includes a frame having a rim for securing a lens. The frame further has a first segment and a second segment. At least one of the first segment and the second segment is movable relative to the other of the first segment and the second segment so as to allow insertion within or removal of the lens from the rim. The frame assembly also includes a projection that extends circumferentially from the first segment. The projection and the second segment are configured to be releasably secured to another, thereby securing the lens within the rim.

Abstract: A pair of swimming goggles includes a frame having a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame. The first and the second sub-frames have a first opening and a second opening defined therein. A first lens is secured in the first sub-frame and a second lens is secured in the second sub-frame. A first eye-piece and a second eye-piece are arranged adjacent to the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame, respectively. A third lens is secured in the first eye-piece and a fourth lens is secured in the second eye-piece. A first connecting member and a second connecting member releasably secure the first eye-piece and the second eye-piece to the first and the second sub-frames, respectively. At least one of the third and the fourth lens may take the form of a corrective lens.

Abstract: The present invention illustrates various methods of attaching a pair of eyeglass lenses or a lens shield to an eyeglass frame using magnets or magnetically attractive material. The magnetic attachment methods are beneficial because they allow the user to have interchangeable lenses or shields for indoor and outdoor use, enhancing their visual acuity during work or play. The lenses may be tinted, prescription, protective eyewear, or plano. The magnetic lenses are convenient and user friendly, allowing intuitive, tool-less interchangeability with no need to twist or stress the frame. These methods of attachment require no specific instructions or tools when the user replaces lenses.

Abstract: An adaptor to be affixed to an eyeglass lens and received in an eyeglass frame, to facilitate the fitting and replacement of various shapes of lenses into a variety of eyeglass frames, particularly, rimless and partial rim frames, wing frames, three-piece frames and frames with complex shapes.

Abstract: The present invention provides an eyewear frame assembly. A frame has an aperture for receiving a lens. The frame has a split to expand upper and lower portions of the frame to insert or remove the lens from the aperture. First and second projections extend outwardly from the upper and lower frame portions, respectively. The first and second projections have first and second tapered portions, respectively. A sleeve receives said first and second projections. The sleeve has first and second inwardly extending and tapered tabs adapted to receive the first and second tapered portions to secure the first and second projections within the sleeve. The upper and lower portions of the frame are prevented from expanding when the first and second projections are received within the sleeve. First and second openings in the sleeve provide access to depress the first and second projections to remove the first and second projections from the first and second sleeves.
