  • Patent number: 4955706
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composite, integral polymeric spectacle part. The spectacle part includes a first polymer member and a second polymer member. The polymer members are selected to provide desired characteristics for the spectacle part at the location of the spectacle part where the member is incorporated. In a particular embodiment, it is desirable that the first polymeric member be formed from an elastomeric polymer and that the second member be a substantially rigid polymer. The rigid polymer is preferably formed from a thermosetting polymer having a higher melting temperature than the first elastomeric member. The second rigid member is bound to the first polymer member by heat fusion during an injection molding process.In the method of the invention for forming a composite, integral, polymeric spectacle part, a first polymer member is formed into a shape conforming to a portion of the cavity of an injection mold.
