Abstract
A modular frame system for glasses includes a frame with a first eye portion on a first side and a second eye portion on a second side. Interposed between the first eye portion and the second eye portion may be a nasal bridge section that couples the first eye portion to the second eye portion. Positioned in the first eye portion may be a first lens and the second eye portion may be a second lens. On a first lateral edge of the first eye portion may be a first protrusion. On a second lateral edge of the second eye portion may be a second protrusion. A coupling system may interact with the first and second protrusions so as to allow a user to quickly change frame arms, bands, etc.
Claims18
A modular frame system for glasses comprising:
- a frame with a first eye portion on a first side and a second eye portion on a second side;
- a nasal bridge section that couples to and is interposed between the first eye portion and the second eye portion;
- a gap positioned below the nasal bridge section;
- a first nose pad on the first eye portion proximate the gap;
- a second nose pad on the second eye portion proximate the gap;
- a first lens in the first eye portion;
- a second lens in the second eye portion;
- a first protrusion that extends rearward on a first lateral edge of the first eye portion;
- a second protrusion that extends rearward on a second lateral edge of the second eye portion;
- and
- a coupling system that fastens to the first protrusion and the second protrusion, wherein the coupling system comprises a first coupler with a first portion and a second portion, the first portion consists of at least one of a first shaft with a first coupler aperture;
- a first loop with a first aperture;
- or a first portion protrusion with a first protrusion aperture, a second portion protrusion with a second protrusion aperture, and a first protrusion channel thereinbetween.
