Abstract: New pattern reading glasses are provided of the present invention. The reading glasses indicate lenses put into a lens frame of single vision reading glasses. An optical center of lenses located at the cutting line of an upper rim of the lenses, which ranges from 2 mm above and 2 mm below thereof. With the single vision reading glasses, no matter if your are looking at close scenery by the lenses or looking at distant scenery by the naked eye, the variation of interlaced images is reduced when an image is watched by the naked eye and by lenses alternately. Therefore, the reading glasses provide more comfortable eyesight.

Abstract: A coil spring is held in a compressed state between a forward end side of an elastic member compartment of a temple and a working face of a cover. A plate spring which is folded in two is held in a concave part of the cover so that a side closer to a base end portion of the temple is open, with one of two open forward ends of the plate spring engaged with a step on a bottom surface of the elastic member compartment for preventing the cover from being slid toward the base end portion of the temple and slipping off. An outer end surface on a base end portion side of the cover is in contact with a forward end surface of a rim in a normal use position. The cover is pushed by the forward end surface of the rim when the temple is further spread beyond the normal use position, to be slid toward the forward end along a guide member of the temple while compressing the coil spring against its spring force.
