Patent number: 8414119Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2011Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Day Sun Industrial Corp.Inventor: Hsueh-Chu Yeh

Patent number: 8297749Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Bor Jye Enterprise Co., Ltd.Inventor: Chun-Nan Chen
