  • Publication number: 20020047984
    Abstract: An eyeglass assembly includes primary and auxiliary frames which can be superimposed upon each other in a transverse direction, and which respectively have two primary and two auxiliary lens mounting portions of such profiles so as to mate with each other. The mating primary and auxiliary lens mounting portions respectively have front and rear wall surfaces facing each other and formed with two concavities at two longitudinal sides such that pairs of magnetic members and magnetically attractive members are received therein. The magnetic and magnetically attractive members attract with each other in the transverse direction, thereby securing the auxiliary frame on the primary frame.
