Interchangeably lenses and attachment assemblies for eyewear with removable temples are described. An example attachment assembly for removably magnetically attaching an eyewear temple to a lens may include a magnetic latch having a first latch portion and a second latch portions movably (e.g., pivotably) coupled to the temple. The first and second latch portions may be configured to be positioned on opposite sides of the lens by a carrier. The first and second latch portions may be configured to magnetically attract one another in a magnetic attraction direction. The carrier may be configured to restrict movement of at least one of the first and second latch portions in a second direction opposite the magnetic attraction direction.
An eyewear comprising and attachment assembly for removably magnetically attaching an eyewear temple to a lens of the eyewear, the attachment assembly comprising a carrier coupled to the lens and a magnetic latch configured to removably, couple to the carrier, wherein the magnetic latch comprises a first latch portion and a second latch portion coupled to the temple such that the first latch portion pivots in relation to the second latch portion, a magnet attached to one of the first and second latch portions, and a magnetic material attached to the other one of the first and second latch portions, wherein the magnet and the magnetic material are arranged on opposing sides of the first and second latch portions to urge the first and second portions in a first direction towards one another, and wherein the carrier is attached to a perimeter portion of the lens and is configured to restrict movement of at least one of the first and second latch portions in a second direction opposite the first direction.
An interchangeable lens assembly for an eyewear with at least one removable temple having a magnetic latch with opposing moveably coupled first and second latch portions for removably attaching the removable temples to the lens assembly, wherein the lens assembly comprises a lens including at least one carrier arranged at a perimeter portion of the lens, wherein the carrier is configured to receive the first and second latch portions for removably coupling the magnetic latch to the lens by magnetic attraction of the first and second latch portions in a first direction, and wherein the carrier is further configured to restrict movement of at least one of the first and second latch portions in a second direction opposite the first direction.
