Patent number: 5940164Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1998Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Neometal Optik International S.R.L.Inventor: Gianni Deppi

Patent number: 5726732Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 1996Date of Patent: March 10, 1998Inventor: Mitsuo Kobayashi
