Claims8
An eyewear comprising:
- a front frame with a receiving mount on opposing sides of the front frame, the receiving mount having an upper arm with an aperture and a lower arm with an aperture;
- a pair of temples each having a pin housing, the pin housing having a hollow cylindrical member with an open upper end and an open lower end and an orifice that extends downwardly from the open upper end towards the lower end of the cylindrical member;
- a pin with a hollow cylindrical outer member that is open at a upper end and a lower end and an inner member within the outer member having an upper head that extends from the upper end of the outer member and a lower head that extends from the lower end of the outer member, the upper head and lower head of the inner member connected to each other by a coil spring, the pin removably positioned within the hollow cylindrical member of the pin housing;
- and
- a knob attached to the upper head of the inner member of the pin that extends through an aperture on the outer member of the pin and the orifice of the pin housing, wherein the receiving mount and the pin housing can be pivotably connected by applying pressure to the knob to retract the upper head of the pin and inserting the lower head of the pin within the aperture on the lower arm of the receiving mount and removing the pressure on the knob to spring the upper head of the pin into the aperture on the upper arm of the receiving mount, the apertures correspondingly sized to accept the upper and lower heads of the pin.
