  • Patent number: 10761349
    Abstract: Dual-frame eyeglasses that include a foundation eyeglass frame that may be worn on the user's head, and a pivot eyeglass frame that is rigidly coupled to the foundation eyeglass frame via a pair of pivot mechanisms. The pivot eyeglass frame may be substantially similar in form and profile to the foundation eyeglass frame. The pivot eyeglass frame may be configured to incrementally rotate about the pivot mechanism from a first position that substantially overlaps a user's line of sight through to a second position that is angularly offset away from the user's line of sight. Additionally, the foundation eyeglass frame may include a nose bridge that separates into two elements at a coupling point on the nose bridge to facilitate each half of the foundation eyeglass frame folding into a separate, compact form.
