#2. Related Arts

#FIG.1 is a perspective view of a detachable front according to one embodiment of the present invention;

#FIG.2 is a perspective view of a pair of eyeglasses having a detachable front attached to its front according to one embodiment of the present invention;

#FIG.3 is a perspective view each of the pair of eyeglasses and the detachable front;

#FIG.1 illustrates a detachable front according to the present invention as viewed from its rear side. As shown, the detachable front has two lenses 1, 1 connected by a bridge 2. Specifically the bridge 2 is fixed to the rimless lenses 1, 1 by fastening its opposite bifurcated sections 3, 3 to the inner sides of the lenses 1, 1 by screws 4, 4.

#To prevent the lenses 1, 1 from turning about their pivot screws each lens 1 has a notch 5 made on its inner side, thereby permitting the minor bifurcation of the bifurcated section 3 to be caught by the notch 5. Alternatively, the fastening section comprises an extra pin projecting from each end of the bridge, and the lens has a hole made on its inner side. Thus, each end of the bridge has its extra pin inserted in the hole of each lens, thereby preventing the lens from turning about its screw pivot.

#The bridge 2 of the detachable front has magnets 6, 6 fixed to its opposite rear extensions 8, 8. Specifically, each magnet 6 is set on the rear extension 8 of each end of the bridge 2 by press-fitting the magnet 6 in the hole made in the rear extension 8. In addition, the bridge 2 has semicircular guide pieces 7, 7 fixed to its rear extensions. As seen from FIGS. 1 and 4, each guide piece 7 extends a short distance down from the lower surface of the rear extension 8.
