  • Patent number: 9703116
    Abstract: Eyeglass frames includes a face member configured to retain at least one lens and two temple members connected to the face member. Each temple member includes a spine made of a first material and an overlay made of a second material positioned on the spine, the first material having a greater hardness than the second material. The spine includes a column and a plurality of transverse ribs. The column extends from a face-end to an ear-end of the temple member and the transverse ribs are connected to the spine. Each of the transverse ribs defines an angle relative to an axis defined by the column of the spine. Slots are formed between the ribs and the ribs are successively narrower moving from the face-end to the ear-end. The overlay is positioned on the spine and fills the slots formed between the ribs.
