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 and a second eye portion;
- 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 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, the coupling system comprising a first coupler with a first portion and a second portion and a second coupler with a third portion and a fourth portion;
- wherein the coupling system receives a headband, a coiled headband, or a first frame arm and a second frame arm.
