Abstract: An eyeglass assembly is provided with a lens frame and a pair of earpieces each pivotally coupled to the lens frame by a hinge. A first hinge portion defines a first outwardly facing surface and an arm portion extending outwardly beyond the first outwardly facing surface. A second hinge portion is associated with the other of the lens frame and a respective earpiece, and includes an end portion defining a second outwardly facing surface. The end portion is coupled to the arm portion about a pivot axis extending through the arm portion and end portion. The first and second outwardly facing surfaces are contoured for frictionally and slidably engaging one another to permit pivoting of each earpiece relative to the lens frame within an arc of approximately 180.degree. about the pivot axis from a folded position to a spread position where the free ends of the earpieces are substantially facing away from one another.
