Abstract: A pair of spectacles includes a main frame having a magnetic bridge piece. An auxiliary inner frame is secured by a magnetic member to the bridge piece and an outer auxiliary lens is similarly secured by a magnet to the bridge piece and at lateral locations onto edges of the main frame. The auxiliary outer lens is secured by a magnetic button which is inserted through an aperture in the outer lens and has a magnetic member an a head which is sized to overly the aperture. The magnetic member embedded in the button attracts the magnetic bridge piece thereby attaching the button to the main frame, the head overlies the aperture and secures the outer frame to the main frame.

Abstract: An eyeglass device may include a primary spectacle frame and an auxiliary spectacle frame (each of which frames may support respective lenses). The primary spectacle frame may include two legs pivotally coupled to two side extensions. Further, the auxiliary spectacle frame may include two arms for engagement with the primary spectacle frame. In addition, each of the primary spectacle frame and the auxiliary spectacle frame may include one or more magnetically interacting materials (e.g., one or more magnets and/or one or more ferrous metals). The one or more magnetically interacting materials of the primary spectacle frame may be disposed in the vicinity of a bridge of the primary spectacle frame and/or in the vicinity of one or both of the side extensions. Likewise, the one or more magnetically interacting materials of the auxiliary spectacle frame may be disposed in the vicinity of a bridge of the auxiliary spectacle frame and/or in the vicinity of one or both of the legs.

Abstract: An eyeglass device comprised of a primary eyeglass frame and an auxiliary eyeglass frame, each containing lenses therein. The primary eyeglass frame includes a bridge and earpieces, which are connected to extensions on each side of the frame. The bridge may made of a flexible memory alloy, such as NiTi or CuAlBe. The extensions have magnets mounted on the undersides of them. The auxiliary eyeglass frame also includes a bridge and temporal extensions. These extensions have magnets mounted to the tops of them. The magnets engage magnetically with each other to connect the auxiliary eyeglass frame to the primary eyeglass frame. The flexible bridges of the primary and auxiliary eyeglass frames assist in preventing the auxiliary eyeglass frame from becoming dislodged from the primary eyeglass frame in case it jostled by the wearer because they can withstand slight distortion.

Abstract: Eyeglasses comprise a pair of spectacles having primary lenses and an auxiliary lens assembly attached to the spectacles. The auxiliary lens assembly is secured by a subframe that includes at least one arm having a magnet at one end to co-operate with a magnet provided on the spectacles. A hinge is provided on the subframe at the opposite end of the arm to allow the auxiliary lens assembly to move from a position in which the primary lenses are covered to a position in which they are exposed.

Abstract: Eyeglasses comprise a primary frame and an auxiliary frame detachably secured to the primary frame by interaction of magnetic members on the frames. The frames and magnetic members are configured to maintain the frames in a first orientation in which the auxiliary frame overlies the primary frame and a second orientation in which the auxiliary frame is disposed above and away from the optical axis of lenses carried in the primary frame.
