  • Patent number: 6293673
    Abstract: An eyeglass frame includes two temples and a pull-down member rotatably and ratchedly attached in an opening of the distal end of each temple. Each pull-down member is movable with respect to the end-piece at a series of discrete angles, and thereby provides a snug fit of the eyeglass frame on the user's face. The pull-down member includes a core with a central opening defined by a series of teeth. A pin having a complementary series of teeth along an outer surface thereof engages the toothed opening of the core to provide the pivotable and ratchetable displacement of the pull-down member relative to the end-piece of the frame temple. The pin has a top portion with an adjustment protrusion extending therefrom and a bottom portion which covers the opening of the end piece.

  • Patent number: 6227666
    Abstract: An eyeglass frame includes a first portion and a second portion. The portions define an opening therebetween for receiving and retaining a lens. A fastening member is received by the first and second portions to move the first and second portions relative to each other between a first position whereby the opening is sized to receive the lens, and a second position whereby the opening is sized to retain the lens. The fastening member is constructed and arranged to be of a size to join the first portion to the second portion when the portions are engaged in the first position, and to include a break-away section that allows a portion of the fastening member to be severed therefrom when the portions are engaged in the second position.

  • Patent number: 6217169
    Abstract: An eyeglass assembly including an endpiece which is adapted to engage a flexible strand for holding a lens, the endpiece having an inner surface which is disposed adjacent to the lens when the lens is present; the inner surface of the endpiece having a front edge and a back edge for being located adjacent to front and back sides of the lens; the front edge being chamfered to define a chamfer angle of substantially 8° to 65° with respect to the lens; and the back edge being chamfered to define a chamfer angle of substantially 8° to 50° with respect to the lens. The chamfering of the edges of the endpiece is effective to reduce the risk of chipping the lens when the endpiece is adjusted to fit the wearer's head. Also disclosed is an elastic cushioning ring disposed between the lens and the frame and/or the flexible lens supporting strand in a rimless or semi-rimless frame.

  • Patent number: 5793463
    Abstract: A universal sideshield attachment for eyeglasses which comprises a central supporting member attachable to the eyeglasses by clips which fit over the bridge of the eyeglasses and engage the lenses thereof. First and second telescoping members are slidably received in first and second passage ways located within the central supporting member. First and second sideshields are respectively connected to the first and second telescoping members. The first and second telescoping members are movable within the respective passageways so that the distance between the eye shields can be adjusted to the width between the temples of the eyeglasses. Each sideshield is pivotably attached to its respective telescoping member to enable a more optimum fit between the sideshields and the temples to be achieved.
