Abstract
The lens sections of the sunglasses are joined by a spring mechanism. The mechanism includes first and second concentric tubular members. Each member is affixed to the rim of a different one of the lens sections. The members enclose the spring which urges the lens sections toward each other, such that prongs mounted on the rims can engage an eyeglasses frame to mount the sunglasses thereon.
