Abstract: Eyeglasses for intermittent use which can be flat folded and flipped up when not in use, include a cross-bar which extends the width of the eyeglasses. A lens plate is rotatably mounted to the cross bar. Right and left temples extend substantially perpendicularly from opposite ends of the cross bar and are rotatable relative to the lens plate. The temples are composed of a lower temple piece and a temple piece extension. The lower temple pieces extend substantially perpendicularly from opposite ends of the cross-bar. The temple piece extension is rotatably connected to the lower temple piece by for example, a pivot. A nose bridge is located in the middle of the cross bar and is rotatably mounted to the cross bar independent of the rotation lens plate.

Abstract: An optical viewing system for use by bicycle riders and the like to increase the field of vision thereof includes headgear for supporting the system on the head of the user and an optical viewing accessory attached to the headgear. The optical viewing accessory has a pair of prisms thereon mounted for pivotal movement between retracted and extended positions. In their retracted positions, the prisms do not interfere with the direct line of sight of the user. However, in their extended positions, the prisms intersect the direct line of sight of the user and the internal reflection and refraction of the prisms allow the user to view objects located at positions at an angle, approximately ninety degrees, from the direct line of sight. The pivotal movement of the optical viewing accessory is activated under the influence of gravity as the head of the user is manipulated alternatively between the erect and prone positions.
