Patent number: 9766477Abstract: The invention relates to a lens exchanging structure. Lens-frame assembling parts of a glasses frame of a main spectacle frame are assembled with lens frames. Intercalating flanges on one sides of the lens frames are correspondingly intercalated by intercalating concave parts of the lens-frame assembling parts. Positioning slots on another sides of the lens frames are inserted by positioning bumps of the fixing parts in sliding slots of the glasses frame. Therefore, when the main spectacle frame or the lens frames are needed to be exchanged, it only needs to fiddle the fixing parts to separate the positioning bumps of the fixing parts and the positioning slots of the lens frames. Then, the lens frames can be removed from the main spectacle frame. The removed lens frames can be assembled with other main spectacle frames having other styles and colors.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2016Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Hsien Chang Optical Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Wen-Hsiung Chou
