Eyeglasses frame with rotatable temples

A frame for eyeglasses, comprising:

• a face having an outer surface including an outer edge and having an inner surface, the face having a first end portion, a first lens opening portion having an inner side and an outer side and a second lens opening portion having an inner side and an outer side, the outer edge being proximate to the first end portion;
• and
• a first temple having a portion defining an inner surface, the first temple being coupled to the first end portion of the face, the first temple being movable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration so that the inner surface of the first temple portion can move over the outer edge of the face without obstruction and without substantially deforming the temple,
• at least a portion of the outer side of the first lens opening portion being disposed between the inner side of the first lens opening portion and the first temple while in the folded configuration, and at least a portion of the second lens opening portion being disposed between the inner side of the second lens opening portion and the first temple while in the folded configuration, the first temple being configured to be substantially adjacent to the outer side of the first lens opening and the outer side of the second lens opening while in the folded configuration.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a face having a first end portion and a lens-interface portion, the lens-interface portion of the face having an inner surface and an outer surface, an elevated structure being disposed on the outer surface of the lens-interface portion of the face;
• a lens being disposed within the lens-interface portion of the face, the lens having an inner side and an outer side, the lens having a center portion;
• and
• a temple, the temple being coupled to the first end portion of the face, the temple being movable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, the temple in the folded configuration being removably retained by the elevated structure of the face on the outer surface of the face.

A method for moving an apparatus between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, the apparatus including a face, a first lens, a second lens and a temple, the face having a first arcuate portion and a second arcuate portion and a first end portion, the first lens and the second lens disposed within the face, the first lens and the second lens each having an inner side, an outer side and a center portion, the temple having an arcuate portion, the temple being pivotably coupled to the first end portion of the face, the first arcuate portion of the face having its own degree of curvature, the first arcuate portion of the temple having its own degree of curvature substantially corresponding to the degree of curvature of the first arcuate portion of the face;

• and
• the second arcuate portion of the face having its own degree of curvature, the second arcuate portion of the temple having its own degree of curvature substantially corresponding to the degree of curvature of the second arcuate portion of the face when in the folded configuration and the unfolded configuration such that the temple is positioned adjacent to the outer side of the first and the outer side of the second lens when in the folded configuration, the method comprising:
• pivoting the temple about the first end portion of the face from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration;
• and
• positioning the temple so that at least a portion of an interior portion of the outer side of the first lens is disposed between a portion of the inner side of the first lens and a portion of the temple while in the folded configuration, and at least a portion of the outer side of the second lens is disposed between the inner side of the second lens and the temple, the outer side of the first lens having its own surface area, the interior portion and a center point, the interior portion having its own surface area one half of the surface area of the outer side of the first lens and being centered around the center point.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a face having an arcuate portion, a first end portion, a first lens opening having an interior perimeter and a second lens opening having an interior perimeter;
• a first lens disposed within the first lens opening in the face, the first lens having an inner side and an outer side, the outer side of the first lens having a center portion spaced away from the interior perimeter of the first lens opening of the face;
• a second lens disposed within the second lens opening in the face, the second lens having an inner side and an outer side, the outer side of the second lens being on the same side of the face as the outer side of the first lens;
• and
• a temple having an arcuate portion, the temple being coupled to the first end portion of the face, the temple being movable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration,
• at least a portion of the center portion being disposed between at least a portion of the inner side of the first lens and at least a portion of the temple while in the folded configuration, and at least a portion of the outer side of the second lens being disposed between the inner side of the second lens and the temple while in the folded configuration, the temple being substantially adjacent to the outer side of the first lens and the outer side of the second lens in the folded configuration.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a face having an arcuate portion and a first end portion;
• a first lens disposed within the face, the first lens having an inner side and an outer side;
• a second lens disposed within the face, the second lens having an inner side and an outer side, the outer side of the second lens being on the same side of the face as the outer side of the second lens;
• and
• a temple having an arcuate portion, the temple being coupled to the first end portion of the face, the temple being movable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration,
• the outer side of the first lens having its own surface area, a center portion and a peripheral portion exclusive of the center portion, the center portion being centered around a center point, at least a portion of the center region being disposed between at least a portion of the inner side of the first lens and at least a portion of the temple while in the folded configuration, and at least a portion of the outer side of the second lens being disposed between the inner side of the second lens and the temple while in the folded configuration, the temple being substantially adjacent to the outer side of the first lens and the outer side of the second lens in the folded configuration.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a face having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the face being arcuate;
• a first lens disposed within the face, the first lens having an inner side and an outer side;
• a second lens disposed within the face, the second lens having an inner side and an outer side, the outer side of the second lens being on the same side of the face as the outer side of the second lens;
• and
• a temple coupled to the first portion of the face, the temple being movable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration,
• the outer side of the first lens having its own surface area, a center point, a center region and a boundary region excluding the center region, the center region being centered around the center point, at least a portion of the center region being disposed between at least a portion of the inner side of the first lens and at least a portion of the temple while in the folded configuration, and at least a portion of the outer side of the second lens being disposed between the inner side of the second lens and the temple while in the folded configuration, the temple being substantially adjacent to the outer side of the first lens and the outer side of the second lens in the folded configuration.
