  • Patent number: 9638932
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for directly securing at least one temple (3.1, 3.2), end-piece (3.6, 3.7) and/or bridge (3.3) of a spectacle frame (3) to at least one spectacle lens (2, 2?) of rimless spectacles (1), wherein the at least one spectacle lens (2, 2?) has at least one edge recess (5, 5?, 5?, 5??) which extends along the transverse axis (QA) of the spectacle lens (2, 2?). Particularly advantageously, in the edge recess (5, 5?, 5?, 5??) a securing body (6, 6?, 6?, 6??) is accommodated in a positively fitting manner and is firmly connected to the spectacle lens (2, 2?), wherein the securing body (6, 6?, 6?, 6??) has a bush-like receiving channel (7) extending along the transverse axis (QA), and the temple (3.1, 3.2), the end-piece (3.6, 3.7) and/or the bridge (3.3) of the spectacle frame (3) have at least one plug-like connection section (8) which can be inserted into the bush-like receiving channels (7) to produce a detachable plug-type connection.

  • Patent number: 7930151
    Abstract: A method of calculating an individual progressive lens creates one or more basic designs for lenses based on theoretical specifications, and then creates starting designs from these basic designs. Individual progressive lenses are calculated from the starting designs corresponding to the individual data from wearing test subjects. Valid starting designs are then created for production. The individual lenses are calculated from the starting designs according to individual customer data.

  • Patent number: 6533411
    Abstract: An auxiliary eyeglass is mounted frontwardly on a primary eyeglass having a primary bridge interconnecting two primary lenses. The auxiliary eyeglass includes two auxiliary lenses disposed frontwardly of and aligned with the primary lenses respectively. A coupling unit includes a hook member hooked on the primary bridge, a first threaded unit extending in a transverse direction relative to the primary bridge and the hook member and selectively connected to one of the hook member and the auxiliary lenses, and a mounting unit selectively connected to the other one of the hook member and the auxiliary lenses with the first threaded unit extending through the mounting unit. A second threaded unit is mounted threadedly on the first threaded unit and adjustably abuts against two opposite sides of the mounting unit so as to permit adjustment and positioning of the auxiliary lenses relative to the primary lenses.

  • Patent number: 5426473
    Abstract: Adjustable size protective eyewear in the form of visitor safety spectacles have a moveable or adjustable hinge pin coupling between the temple sidebars and the lens frame. An opening in each side of the lens frame contains multiple hinge pin sockets which are aligned at an angle with respect to the lens frame such that movement of the hinge pins from socket to socket not only increases the distance between temple sidebars but also the effective length from the lens frame to the ear piece of the temple sidebar. This arrangement allows a single pair of adjustable safety spectacles to be used by a person of a given head size with the adjustability to fit over the user's prescription eyewear where the user requires the prescription eyewear in addition to the safety spectacles.
