Abstract
Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple having a flexible printed circuit (FPC) including service loops. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. A first service loop allows extension of the FPC when the temple rotates about the hinge, and a second service loop allows the temple to be radially extended away from the hinge.
