Patent number: 7380935Abstract: A hinge assembly is provided for connecting the temple of an eyeglass to a lens support assembly. The hinge assembly comprises a cam member with a pair of oppositely directed cam surfaces disposed in orthogonal planes. The assembly also comprises a pair of pivots extending normal to respective ones of the planes and defining orthogonal pivot axes for relative movement between the cam member and the main frame and the temple respectively. The hinge has a pair of followers, each associated with a respective one of the cam surfaces; and a pair of biasing members acting on the followers to maintain the followers in contact with the cam surfaces. An eyeglass comprising the hinge assembly is also provided. The hinge assembly allows a compound movement between the main frame and the temple that can accommodate the abnormal loading that might be placed on the eyeglasses.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2006Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Chic Optic, Inc.Inventor: Nonu Ifergan

Publication number: 20060187404Abstract: An eyeglass and a decorative attachment for mounting upon the eyeglass is provided. The eyeglass has a recess at each side portion with a magnetic member therein. The decorative attachment has a pair of bands separated by a nose plate which are contoured to follow the shape of the frame of the eyeglass. The decorative attachment has an plate at each end, each plate having a pin protruding therefrom. Each pin is sized to fit within corresponding recesses in the eyeglass and are made of a magnetically attractive material of opposite polarity to that of the magnetic member within the recess wherein magnetic attraction between the pins and the magnetic members will mount the decorative attachment upon the eyeglass.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2006Publication date: August 24, 2006Inventor: Nonu Ifergan
