a first support member rotatably coupled to the bridge, with a first lens provided therein; a second support member rotatably coupled to the bridge, with a second lens provided therein; and a clip provided in the bridge or one of the support members, wherein the first and second support members are folded with respect to the bridge in a direction where the first and second lenses are getting closer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The eyeglasses of claim 1, wherein a rail unit for guiding a folding passage is provided in the bridge or one of the support members and a projected portion for moving along the rail unit is provided in the other. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The eyeglasses of claim 2, wherein the rail unit comprises, a guide portion for guiding the movement of the projected portion; and a pause portion formed in each of longitudinal ends of the guide portion to pause the movement of the projected portion so as to maintain an unfolded or folded state of the support member. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The eyeglasses of claim 3, wherein a stopper to contact with the folded support member is provided in the bridge. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The eyeglasses of claim 3, wherein the guide portion is a guide groove having a smaller depth than a height of the projected portion, and the pause portion is a receiving groove having a depth which is a height of the projected portion or more. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The eyeglasses of claim 5, wherein the guide portion comprises at least one auxiliary receiving groove formed between both longitudinal ends of the guide groove, and when the projected portion is received in the auxiliary receiving groove, the support member is kept in a partially folded state between an unfolded state and a folded state. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The eyeglasses of claim 1, wherein the clip comprises a first clip provided in the first support member and a second clip provided in the second support member, and free ends of the first and second clips are bent toward outer ends of the lenses, respectively. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The eyeglasses of claim 1, wherein a plurality of fixing protrusions are provided in the bridge and an inserting portion is provided in the support member to insert the fixing protrusions therein, and the fixing protrusions and the inserting portion are provided in corresponding positions which ease the inserting process in an unfolded or folded state of the support member. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The eyeglasses of claim 1, wherein the first and second support members are folded to a front, rear, upper or lower side of the bridge in a direction the first and second lenses are getting closer. ### Claim 10 Eyeglasses comprising: a bridge comprising a rear surface in which one or more clips are provided; and first and second support members foldably coupled to a front surface of the bridge, with first and second lenses provided therein, respectively, and an angle between the lenses is adjusted according to a folding degree of one support member. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The eyeglasses of claim 10, wherein a rail unit for guiding a folding passage is provided in the bridge or one of the support members and a projected portion for moving along the rail unit is provided in the other. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The eyeglasses of claim 11, wherein the rail unit comprises, a guide portion for guiding the movement of the projected portion; and a pause portion formed in each of longitudinal ends of the guide portion to pause the movement of the projected portion so as to maintain an unfolded or folded state of the support member. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The eyeglasses of claim 12, wherein the guide portion is a guide groove having a smaller depth than a height of the projected portion, and the pause portion is a receiving groove having a depth which is a height of the projected portion or more. ### Claim 14 Eyeglasses comprising: a first sliding member with a first lens provided therein; a second sliding member with a second lens provided therein; a bridge for connecting the first and second sliding members with each other, with at least one sliding member movably coupled thereto to adjust a gap between the first and second lenses; and a clip coupled to the bridge or one of the sliding members. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The eyeglasses of claim 14, further comprising: a flexible member for connecting the first and second sliding members with each other, wherein a plurality of penetrating holes are provided in the bridge along a direction where one of the sliding members slidingly moves, and projected portions are provided in the sliding member to be inserted in the penetrating holes. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The eyeglasses of claim 14, wherein projected portions are provided in the first and second sliding members, respectively, to be inserted in the penetrating holes. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The eyeglasses of claim 14, wherein a first rail for guiding the sliding movement of the sliding member is provided in the bridge, and a second rail for moving along the first rail is provided in the sliding member, and the first rail comprises a plurality of first protrusions, and the second rail comprises a plurality of second protrusions, and a second protrusion is arranged in a space formed between two neighboring first protrusions to couple the sliding member and the bridge to each other. ### Claim 18 Eyeglasses comprising: a bridge; a first sliding member slidingly coupled to one longitudinal end of the bridge; a second sliding member slidingly coupled to the other longitudinal end of the bridge; a first support member foldably coupled to the first sliding member, with a first lens provided therein, a second support member foldably coupled to the second sliding member, with a second lens provided therein; and one or more clips coupled to the bridge or one of the support members. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The eyeglasses of claim 18, further comprising: a flexible member for connecting the first and second sliding members with each other, wherein a plurality of penetrating holes are provided in the bridge along a direction where the first and second sliding members slidingly move, and projected portions are provided in the first and second sliding members to be inserted in the penetrating holes. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The eyeglasses of claim 18, wherein the first and second support members are foldably coupled to the first and second sliding members toward a front, rear, upper or lower side of the bridge in a direction where the first and second lenses are getting closer. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The eyeglasses of claim 20, wherein a guide portion for guiding a folding passage is provided in one support member or one sliding member and a projected portion for moving along the guide portion is provided in the other. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The eyeglasses of claim 21, wherein the guide portion comprises a guide portion for guiding the movement of the projected portion; and a pause portion formed in each of longitudinal ends of the guide portion to pause the movement of the projected portion so as to maintain an unfolded or folded state of the support member. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The eyeglasses of claim 22, wherein the guide portion is a guide groove having a smaller depth than a height of the projected portion, and the pause portion is a receiving groove having a depth which is a height of the projected portion or more. ### Claim 24 (depends on 22) The eyeglasses of claim 22, wherein the guide portion comprises at least one auxiliary receiving groove formed between both longitudinal ends of the guide groove, and when the projected portion is received in the auxiliary receiving groove, the support member is kept in a partially folded state between a unfolded state and a folded state.
