  • Patent number: 11927832
    Abstract: A magnetic attraction type lens-replaceable eyeglasses, comprising a frame and lenses. A connector for fixedly connecting the lenses to the frame is disposed at a bridge of the frame. The connector is detachably connected to the frame. The connector and the frame are in magnetic attraction cooperation. Fixing pins capable of penetrating through the lenses and used for limiting the swing of the lenses are disposed on the side, in contact with the lenses, of the connector. By using the detachable connector, the lenses are fixed to the frame. By means of magnetic attraction cooperation, the lenses can be relatively easy to replace. Meanwhile, by using a design of positioning pins, it can be ensured that the lenses mounted on the frame will not swing or shift.

The cavities may be formed with multiple apertures to opposing surfaces such that the arm can be rotated about the ball so as to permit the lens to be moved out of the line of site of the wearer. Multiple lenses may be supported in series within the prongs of a lens clip, in which case a double-sided suction cup is positioned between them to properly secure and space them. Removable temple pieces are optionally provided to support the lens over the ear, the temple pieces being engaged to the outside edges of the lens(es) with suction cup enabled lens clips as at the bridge piece.

  • Patent number: 8414119
    Abstract: An eyeglass frame assembly adaptable to lenses of different curvatures for holding replaceable optical or sunglass lenses includes an inner frame and an eyeglass frame. The inner frame has a rear periphery and laterals thereof formed as an abutting surface corresponding to a forward receiving area and two lateral linking rooms formed on the eyeglass frame. The inner frame preinstalled with the optical lenses or the sunglass lenses is easily assembled to the eyeglass frame by inserting two laterals of the inner frame into the lateral linking rooms of the eyeglass frame and buckling a middle portion of the inner frame to a corresponding portion of the eyeglass frame, to allow the abutting surface of the inner frame to abut against the matching receiving area of the eyeglass frame. With this design, the inner frame attached to the eyeglass frame can be easily replaced as needed.

  • Patent number: 8297749
    Abstract: A glasses construction includes an auxiliary frame coupled with optical lenses and disposed as needed behind the middle portion of a glasses frame coupled with lenses; and a protective frame disposed behind and snap-engaged with the glasses frame. The glasses frame and the protective frame together limit the position of the auxiliary frame. Two connecting elements, pivotally disposed on two sides of the glasses frame, respectively, are snap-engaged with connecting members extending from the ends of two temples and stopping portions formed beside the connecting members to thereby form a glasses construction. Hence, the combination or separation between the glasses frame and the protective frame, between the glasses frame and the auxiliary frame, or between the two connecting elements pivotally disposed on two sides of the glasses frame and the temples is advantageously characterized by quick positioning or removal by convenient operation.
