Patent number: 7883205Abstract: A lens retaining structure for a secondary glasses assembly having a frame configured to be mounted on a pair of primary glasses. The lens retaining structure comprises an inner portion and an outer portion, each comprising a flexible, resilient member having a predetermined rest position. The inner portion has an inner lens grabber thereon and the outer portion has an outer lens grabber thereon. The inner and outer lens grabbers are configured to engage corresponding features of a lens. The inner and outer lens grabbers separated by a first distance when the inner and outer portions are in their rest positions, such that the lens retaining structure is operable to retain one of a plurality of lenses of differing sizes and shapes having corresponding features separated by a second distance which is different from the first distance.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: 20 / 20 Marketing Ltd.Inventor: Robert G.

Patent number: 7854507Abstract: An eyeglass device with a detachable lens unit has a frame and a lens unit. The frame has a first end and a second end in width each connecting to a foot, and has an intermediate between the first and second ends extending out a connecting base with a recess. The lens unit comprises two lenses and a connecting piece between the two lenses to snugly engage with the recess of the frame. Thereby, the lens unit and the frame are combined together and positioned and thus the attachment or detachment of the eyeglass device is convenient.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2009Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Inventor: Chih-Ming Chen

Patent number: 7850301Abstract: The present invention illustrates various methods of attaching a pair of eyeglass lenses or a lens shield to an eyeglass frame using magnets or magnetically attractive material. The magnetic attachment methods are beneficial because they allow the user to have interchangeable lenses or shields for indoor and outdoor use, enhancing their visual acuity during work or play. The lenses may be tinted, prescription, protective eyewear, or plano. The magnetic lenses are convenient and user friendly, allowing intuitive, tool-less interchangeability with no need to twist or stress the frame. These methods of attachment require no specific instructions or tools when the user replaces lenses.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Liberty Sport, Inc.Inventor: Carmine S. DiChiara

Publication number: 20100231848Abstract: A fixing mechanism of a gut 6 holding a lens 20 onto a half rim 1 prevents the gut 6 from being cut off by a large force acting on a bent part of the gut 6. The fixing mechanism includes an attachment part 2 of the half rim 1, to which a part of the periphery of the lens 20 is held, the lens 20, and the gut 6 fixing the lens 20 to the attachment part 2 by pressing the periphery of the lens 20 and thereby pressing the lens 20 toward the attachment part 2. The fixing mechanism further includes holding members 8 and 11 holding each end of the gut 6 on the both sides of the attachment part 2 of the half rim 1, which holding members 8 and 11 are arranged in hollow parts 7 and 10, respectively, formed on both the side parts of the attachment part 2 of the half rim 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2010Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: Four Nines, Inc.Inventor: Yuichi Iimura
