  • Publication number: 20190331934
    Abstract: Eyewear retaining a pair of lenses having one or more eyewires in which each eyewire is adapted to release a detachable lens and detachable hingedly connected arm at a single release point in the eyewire. In some embodiments, the eyewire bifurcates forming a recess to enable lens and/or arm interchange. The recess may absorb pressure applied by the arm hinge mechanism to the eyewires.

  • Patent number: 9759929
    Abstract: A pair of glasses with multiple pivoting arms provides size adjustability to fit on different sized and dimensioned heads. The glasses enhance functionality, ergonomic comfort, tethering capacity, and aesthetics. A frame retains a pair of lenses. In some embodiments, the frame bifurcates to enable interchanging the lenses. A frame adjustment fastener may engage a recess in the frame to tighten and loosen the frame around the lenses. A pair of forward arms hingedly join the frame. A pair of rearward arms may hingedly join the forward arms. The forward and rearward arms pivot laterally and independently of each other. Hinge adjustment fasteners loosen and tighten the pivoting motion of the arms in some embodiments. Stress cavities absorb pressure applied by the hinge adjustment fasteners. Vents at the forward arms disrupt air flow behind the frame to minimize moisture accumulation at the lenses.
