A spectacle frame comprising:
- (a) a front for holding therein two lenses;
- (b) the front having front end pieces extending rearward at each end thereof, the front end pieces having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- (c) the upper portion having an upper notch and the lower portion having a lower notch;
- (d) a clip for attachment to the front end pieces to releasably retain the end pieces together, the clip comprising an end for engagement in the upper notch and the lower notch for retaining the upper portion and the lower portion together, the clip being generally S-shaped and includes:
- (a) a lower arm operatively connected to (b) an intermediate arm;
- the intermediate arm being operatively connected to (c) a top arm;
- and (d) a lip extending rearward and inwardly from the top arm for providing control of movement of a temple of the spectacle frame.
A spectacle frame comprising:
- (a) a front for holding therein two lenses;
- (b) the front having front end pieces extending rearward at each end thereof, the front end pieces having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- (c) the upper portion having an upper notch and the lower portion having a lower notch;
- (d) a clip for attachment to the front end pieces to releasably retain the end pieces together, the clip comprising an end for engagement in the upper notch and the lower notch for retaining the upper portion and the lower portion together, one of the upper portion and the lower portion having a geometric projection for engagement in and disengagement from a corresponding sized and shaped geometric opening in the other of the upper portion and the lower portion, the engagement and disengagement being by lateral movement only;
- the clip serving to retain the geometric projection in the geometric opening.
A clip for engagement with front end pieces of a spectacle frame, the clip being generally S-shaped and comprising:
- (a) a lower arm operatively connected to (b) an intermediate arm, the intermediate arm being operatively connected to (c) a top arm;
- wherein (d) an end extends inwardly and forwardly from the lower arm for enabling the clip to engage at least one notch in the front end pieces;
- and (e) a lip extends rearward and inwardly from the top arm for providing control of movement of a temple of the spectacle frame.
A temple for engagement with front end pieces of a spectacle frame, the temple comprising:
- (a) a temple end;
- (b) a slot extending rearward from the temple end;
- (c) an upper pin extending upwardly of the temple end;
- (d) a lower pin extending downwardly of the temple end;
- (e) the slot being able to be compressed by finger pressure to enable the upper pin and lower pin to engage in pin holes of the front end pieces;
- and (f) an integral clip, the clip being generally S-shaped and includes:
- (a) a lower arm operatively connected to (b) an intermediate arm, the intermediate arm being operatively connected to (c) a top arm;
- wherein (d) an end extends inwardly and forwardly from the lower arm for enabling the clip to engage at least one notch in the front end pieces;
- and (e) a lip extends rearward and inwardly from the top arm for providing control of movement of a temple of the spectacle frame, the temple further comprising a rear end with an elongate slot therein with a split end, the rear end being adapted to engage longitudinal grooves of a temple tip.
