  • Patent number: 9551545
    Abstract: A pivot-axis, pin arrangement for rifle receivers can serve as a trigger or hammer pin therefor. A lower housing has a pair of sidewalls defining a gap and with a pair of bores spaced across the gap. The outer side of one sidewall has a slightly recessed channel which is elongated between spaced ends, at least one of which is rounded and centered on the axes of the spaced bores. The pivot axis pin has a cylindrical shaft and a T-slot head style head. The head has one portion forming an annular ring while the remaining portion is elongated to an end. In use, the pin is inserted through the bores, and is ‘simply supported’ by the ends thereof in the bores therefor. The head of the pin locks against rotation merely by settling in into at least one rounded end of the recessed channel.

  • Patent number: 7137700
    Abstract: The present invention provides an eyewear frame assembly. A frame has an aperture for receiving a lens. The frame has a split to expand upper and lower portions of the frame to insert or remove the lens from the aperture. First and second projections extend outwardly from the upper and lower frame portions, respectively. The first and second projections have first and second tapered portions, respectively. A sleeve receives said first and second projections. The sleeve has first and second inwardly extending and tapered tabs adapted to receive the first and second tapered portions to secure the first and second projections within the sleeve. The upper and lower portions of the frame are prevented from expanding when the first and second projections are received within the sleeve. First and second openings in the sleeve provide access to depress the first and second projections to remove the first and second projections from the first and second sleeves.

  • Patent number: 5940164
    Abstract: An eyeglass frame has a pair of at least limitedly flexible upper arms and a pair of respective at least limitedly flexible lower arms. Each arm has an inner end and an outer end and a bridge interconnects the inner ends so that each upper arm forms with the respective lower arm to a respective side of the bridge a seat for a lens. Respective pairs of elastically deformable elements have front ends fixed to the outer ends of the arms and rear ends fixed to a respective temple support with each pair of elements biasing the respective upper and lower arm toward each other so that the lens is gripped elastically in the seat. A respective temple is pivoted on each of the temple supports. A pair of eyeglasses is assembled from such a frame and a pair of lenses by first displacing each upper arm away from the respective lower arm with elastic deformation of the respective elements until the respective seats are wide enough to accept a respective lens.

  • Patent number: 5726732
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved structure for coupling some selected parts of a pair of glasses, particularly for fixing a lens to an associated rim and at the same time, the rim to the joint piece, to which one or the other temple is hinged. The rim has a loop hole at its outer side, dividing the rim circumference into upper and lower rim halves. The rim has two broach sections fixed to the opposite ends of the upper and lower rim halves, and the joint piece has a hollow coupler member to permit the broach sections to be press-fitted therein, thereby holding the lens inside the rim. Two catch pins are fixed to the inner sides of the adjoining rims. These catch pins are inserted into the lateral holes of the opposite ends of the bridge, thus detachably connecting the bridge to the adjoining rims.
