  • Publication number: 20240201516
    Abstract: A spectacle rod is provided, including a plate-shaped metal rod and a friction element located at an ear bend. In order to avoid inadvertent removal of the friction element from the metal rod, a protrusion and the recess are formed. The protrusion and recess include a first transverse protrusion at the outermost second end of the spectacle rod. This transverse protrusion, together with the spectacle rod, forms an outwardly open recess. This recess has a smaller cross-section at the opening than at a central part. Thereby, elastic compliant material from the friction element will be received in the recess. The elastic material will be compressed so that a clamping effect occurs, contributing to a retention which prevents accidental separation of the friction element and the metal rod.

  • Patent number: 11143883
    Abstract: Spectacles with interchangeable eyeglass lenses (2), where the spectacles comprise a spectacles frame (1) and eyeglass lenses (2), where the eyeglass lenses comprise a mount (3) which is secured to an outer edge of the eyeglass lenses, and where at least one of the mount and the spectacles frame comprises a coupling element (8), which can couple together the mount (3) and the spectacles frame (1), thereby producing a spectacles frame in which the eyeglass lenses can be replaced as desired. Furthermore, the mount or the spectacles frame comprises an oblong recess (5) designed to receive a partial section (7) of the spectacles frame or a bulge on the mount. Said spectacles are suitable for use at work, bicycling in blustery weather, or skiing in harsh sunlight.
