Abstract: A flip-up eyewear device includes a primary frame that is adapted to fit upon a wearer's face and a secondary frame that is rotatably mounted to the primary frame. A pair of hinges connect the primary and flip-up frames. The primary frame has a pair of upper rims, each having a set-back portion. A hinge is mounted onto a front surface of the set-back portion. The hinge operates between an upper rim of the primary frame and an upper rim of the flip-up frame and fits generally within the set-back portion so that the hinge is substantially hidden from view when viewed from the front of the eyewear. The set-back mounting allows the hinge to be large enough to contain a biasing spring without the hinge extending substantially above the frame or causing the flip-up frame to be positioned excessively far from the primary frame. Magnet pairs engage each other when the flip-up frame is in the DOWN position in order to hold the frame in place relative to the primary frame.
