  • Patent number: 7524056
    Abstract: An eyeglass structure includes a lens frame and a pair of articulated temples mounted by a respective first hinge pin to one and the other side of the frame, the temples rotating relative to the pin and about a first axis towards and away from one another. The articulated temples each include forward and rearward sections having mating portions that are frictionally engaged and a second hinge pin that connects the sections together for rotation about a second axis, transverse to the first axis thereof, and between a first in use position, wherein the lenses and frame are in position with the eyes, and a stored second position, wherein the lenses and frame are moved up and away from the eyes and seated on the forehead. The second hinge pin operates to increase the frictional gripping force between the mating portions to maintain the sections in a desired angle to one another.
