- G02C 5/008: {Spectacles frames characterized by their material, material structure and material properties}
- G02C 2200/18: Adjustment ridges or notches

## Abstract

The rim frame and the lens are continuously restrained to each other over a range other than the gap to stabilize holding of the lens while attachment and detachment of the lens can be facilitated by expanding a gap as consolidating the gaps in the two places into one place due to the deflection of the rim frame and movement of the lens in the left-right direction, whereby the lens can be easily attached and detached without using a tool such as a screwdriver, while can achieve holding stability when fixing the lens and ease of attachment and detachment.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Spectacles, comprising:
a lens; and
a rim frame in which the lens is inserted;
wherein a gap is formed between the rim frame and the lens at each place only on left and right sides of the spectacles,
the rim frame is deflectable,
the rim frame is narrower than an outer shape of the lens in an up-down direction and wider than the outer shape of the lens in a left-right direction,
the lens is fixed by a force of the rim frame for returning to an original position by deflection of the rim frame,
the lens and the rim frame are in a circular shape,
the lens is in contact with the rim frame in an arc,
the rim frame and the lens are restrained to each other to stabilize holding of the lens, and
the up-down direction and the left-right direction are orthogonal each other on an opening surface of the rim frame.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The spectacles according to claim 1,
wherein a pair of the rim frames are arranged in the left-right direction through a bridge, and
the lens and the rim frame are in a shape of an ellipse being horizontal in the left-right direction.
