Abstract: The present design includes eyewear including an eyewear chassis comprising two openings and receiving elements formed in the eyewear chassis, the receiving elements firmly and securely receiving a rotatable element connectable to a facia plate maintaining a removable pair of lenses. In some embodiments, rotating the removable pair of lenses from a fully closed position away from the eyewear chassis causes the facia plate to receive upward force to raise the removable pair of lenses to a fully open position, and from the fully open position toward the eyewear chassis causes the facia plate to receive downward force to lower the removable pair of lenses to the fully closed position. One lens of the removable pair of lenses in an embodiment fits within at least one milled recessed inner edge formed within one of the two openings when the removable pair of lenses is in the fully closed position.

Abstract: Eyeglasses comprising a lens frame and a pair of temple frames, to which are attached decorative temple inserts by securing two temple extensions to form an enclosure for the temple inserts. The temple extensions, which are either plates or bars, are joined at one end by a hinge and are joined at the other end by an attachment apparatus. The temple inserts have protrusions that fit with recesses within the temple extensions, thereby stabilizing the inserts within the temple frame.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting auxiliary eyeglasses on conventional eyeglasses in which magnets are attached to temple extensions or temples on the conventional eyeglasses to mate with magnets mounted in appendages of the auxiliary eyeglasses. The magnets on the auxiliary eyeglasses engages the magnets on the conventional eyeglasses from below only, so as to hold the auxiliary frames in place solely by magnetic attractive force. The magnets may be recessed in sockets formed on one side while the magnets may extend out of the sockets on the other side. A wide variety of magnet shapes and configurations are possible.

Abstract: Eyewear is provided having lenses that are removably secured to an eyewear platform. The eyewear platform has a bridge portion, a pair of temple extensions and at least one socket extending therefrom with a first mating surface accessible on an upper side of the platform and a second mating surface accessible on a lower side of the platform. The eyewear further includes a pair of primary lenses with at least one third mating surface that is removably secured to the first mating surface by magnetic attraction. The eyewear still further includes a pair of auxiliary lenses with at least one fourth mating surface that is removably secured to the second mating surface by magnetic attraction. The eyewear further includes a reflective coating on a portion of a surface of either the primary or auxiliary lenses to facilitate rearward view of a wearer.

Abstract: Eyeglasses having a lens frame removably attached to a primary eyewear using easy release snap connection that provides effective resistance from the lens frame from becoming involuntarily detached from the primary eyewear. This arrangement allows the user to maximize the different kinds of eyewear.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting auxiliary eyeglasses on conventional eyeglasses in which magnets having shaped surfaces are attached to appendages on the auxiliary eyeglasses mating with magnets having complimentary shaped surfaces mounted on the temple extensions of conventional eyeglasses. The magnets on the auxiliary eyeglasses are mounted in sockets formed on the appendages on the auxiliary eyeglass frame fit beneath the temple extensions on the conventional eyeglasses frame to hold the auxiliary frames in place solely by the magnetic attractive force. The shaped surfaces of the magnets mate when the auxiliary eyeglasses are mounted on the conventional eyeglasses. The magnets may be recessed in sockets formed on one side while the magnets extend out of the sockets on the other side. A wide variety of magnet shapes and configurations are possible.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting auxiliary eyeglasses on conventional eyeglasses in which magnets are attached to appendages on the auxiliary eyeglasses mating with magnets mounted on the temple extensions of conventional eyeglasses. The magnets on the auxiliary eyeglasses are mounted in sockets formed on the appendages of the auxiliary eyeglasses such that their maximum magnetic force is oriented vertically or parallel to the plane of the conventional eyeglass frame. The appendages on the auxiliary eyeglass frame fit beneath the temple extensions on the conventional eyeglasses frame to hold the auxiliary frames in place solely by the magnetic attractive force. The orientation of the magnets is such that the maximum magnetic force resists any downward movement of the auxiliary eyeglasses on the conventional eyeglasses when installed. In a modification of the embodiment, a clip is attached to or formed on the bridge of the auxiliary eyeglasses for fitting over the bridge of the conventional eyeglasses.

Abstract: A clip for stowing auxiliary eyeglasses comprised of a pair of clip bodies forming a jaw with a cylindrical socket formed on exterior surface of one of the bodies. The cylindrical socket is constructed to receive a cylinder held in place by a circumferential ridge engaging a circumferential groove in the cylinder that allows the cylinder to freely rotate in the socket. The cylinder also includes a rectangular slot having detents on either end for receiving a cylindrical end of appendages on auxiliary eyeglasses. The entire clip is simple in construction and easy to use and will securely and quickly stow away auxiliary eyeglasses when not in use.
