  • Patent number: 7614741
    Abstract: An eyeglass frame and an assembling means thereof are disclosed. The assembling means of the eyeglass frame locks with a main body of the eyeglass frame. A connecting shaft with a plurality of locking teeth is arranged on the assembling means of the eyeglass frame and a wall of a receiving slot of an auxiliary eyeglass frame is also disposed with locking teeth so as to engage with and assemble with the connecting shaft of the assembling means of the eyeglass frame. Thereby the assembling way among the main body of the eyeglass frame, the auxiliary eyeglass frame, and the assembling means of the eyeglass frame is in a removable and detachable form. Moreover, mounting grooves for receiving removable lenses are set on the main body of the eyeglass frame and the auxiliary eyeglass frame respectively. Thus each component can be assembled and disassembled removably. Therefore, users can choose the components according to their needs to form eyeglass frames and production resources are used more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 7575318
    Abstract: An eyeglass assembly includes a lens holding “base-frame” with two temples pivotally attached and extending rearward; this “base-frame” is grooved to hold prescription, reading or sunglass lenses. This “base-frame” marries with various lens-holding front-frames enhancement components. The additional front-frame components have the option of holding prescription, reading or sunglass lenses; or can be used with generic colorized lenses, strictly as a “fashion” statement. The base-frame and front-frame enhancement components utilize magnetized ultra-thin special “rare earth” magnetic materials. This material is embedded and concealed in between laminated layers of plastic. These frame enhancement components are self-aligning when attached, and cling securely to the base-frame front with no visible appendages apparent or showing.
