Abstract: An apparatus for removing broken connecting mechanisms imbedded in eyeglass frames has a platform to transversely hold the eyeglass frame secure and proximal to the broken connecting mechanism, a means for transversely moving a pin coaxially with the broken connecting mechanism, and a means for receiving the pin and broken connecting mechanism.An embodiment has a cylinder, a piston to fit in the cylinder, a lever to communicate with the piston, a post or die to communicate with the piston, a post or die to communicate with the embodiment, a handle that communicates with the lever, a handle that communicates with the embodiment, whereby the lever and the handle provide for lowering the force required.

Abstract: An eyeglass heater includes a fan motor, heater coils, and feedback circuitry for controlling the fan motor and heater coils. A heat conductive housing encloses all components and provides opposed air outlets for directing the heated air upon the work piece (eyeglass frames).
