  • Publication number: 20210349332
    Abstract: An eyeglasses assembly includes a frame and a lens. The frame includes a frame body formed with a frame groove and two engaging grooves, and a positioning column disposed in the frame groove. The lens has a main portion formed with a lens groove and a securing groove that extends perpendicularly from the lens groove. The lens further has first and second protruding portions engaging removably and respectively with the engaging grooves. The lens is movable between an initial position, where the positioning column is disposed at an intersection of the lens groove and the securing groove, and a fixed position, where the positioning column is disposed at a distal end of the securing groove such that the second protruding portion is allowed to be disengaged from the respective engaging groove.

  • Publication number: 20210191148
    Abstract: An eyewear assembly includes a lens unit and an eyewear attachment mounted to the lens unit. The eyewear attachment includes a frame unit, an engaging unit and two connecting units and an elongate wearing unit. The engaging unit extends from the frame unit toward the lens unit and includes two positioning members extending respectively from upper and lower sides of the frame unit and detachably engaging the lens unit in such a manner that the frame unit is affixed on the lens unit. The connecting units are respectively and integrally connected to two lateral sides of the frame unit. The wearing unit interconnects the connecting units so as to allow an assembly of the frame unit, the connecting units and the wearing unit to be sleeved on the head of a user.

  • Patent number: 9651799
    Abstract: An eyeglasses assembly includes a rim unit, two temple members, and two coupling units interconnecting the temple members and the rim body. The coupling unit includes a first coupling member that has a slide groove including a non-limiting and a limiting groove section, and a second coupling member that engages the non-limiting and limiting groove sections to permit and prevent separation of the first and second coupling members, respectively. The coupling unit further includes a latch member movably mounted to the first coupling member and movable between a closed position and an open position that respectively prevents and permits the movement of the second coupling member into the non-limiting groove section.

  • Publication number: 20140125940
    Abstract: An eyeglass assembly includes: a frame having a transverse segment and first segments that cooperate with the transverse segment to form two generally L-shaped structures; a lens unit having an upper lens edge and first lens edges and formed with two engaging recesses, the lens unit being inserted into the frame so that the lens unit is restricted by the generally L-shaped structures; and a pair of temple arms, each of which has an engaging tongue. The engaging tongues engage the respective engaging recesses when the temple arms are disposed at an unfolded position, and are disengaged from the respective engaging recesses when the temple arms are disposed at a folded position.
