Abstract
An eyewear frame assembly includes a frame having a rim for securing a lens. The frame further has a first segment and a second segment. At least one of the first segment and the second segment is movable relative to the other of the first segment and the second segment so as to allow insertion within or removal of the lens from the rim. The frame assembly also includes a projection that extends circumferentially from the first segment. The projection and the second segment are configured to be releasably secured to another, thereby securing the lens within the rim.
Claims15
An eyewear frame assembly, comprising:
- a frame having a rim for securing a lens, said rim having a first segment that is flexible and a second segment, the first segment and second segment being integral portions of the rim, wherein at least one of said first segment and second segment is movable relative to the other of the first segment and the second segment so as to allow insertion within or removal of said lens from said rim;
- a projection extending toward a temporal end of the rim circumferentially from, and integral with, said first segment, the projection having an outer rim surface continuing from an outer rim surface of the first segment when secured, the outer rim surface of the projection comprising a plurality of holes;
- wherein said projection and said second segment are configured to be releasably secured to one another, wherein said lens is secured by said rim when said projection is secured within said second segment near a temporal end of the frame,
- a nose-pad body configured to be attached to said frame, wherein the nose-pad body has a recess in a bridge portion of the nose-pad body,
- a nose-pad securing member including a top wall, an intermediate wall, and a bottom wall, wherein the nose-pad body is secured to the frame at a top surface of a bridge of the frame with attachment of the nose-pad securing member through the recess,
- wherein the nose-pad body comprises a nose-pad comprising a tab, and
- wherein the tab is configured to be secured between the rim and the lens.
An eyewear frame assembly, comprising:
- a frame having:
- a first rim for securing at least one first lens, said first rim having a first segment that is flexible and a second segment, wherein at least one of said first segment and the second segment is movable relative to the other of the first segment and the second segment so as to allow insertion within or removal of said first lens from said first rim;
- wherein the first segment and second segment are integral portions of the first rim;
- a second rim for securing at least one second lens, said second rim having a third segment that is flexible and a fourth segment, wherein at least one of said third segment and the fourth segment is movable relative to the other of the third and the fourth segment so as to allow insertion within or removal of said second lens from said second rim;
- wherein the third segment and forth segment are integral portions of the second rim;
- a first projection integral with said first segment, the first projection extending circumferentially from said first segment and extending toward a first temporal end of the rim, the first projection having an outer rim surface continuing from an outer rim surface of the first segment when secured, the outer rim surface of the first projection comprising a plurality of holes;
- a second projection integral with said third segment and, the second projection extending circumferentially from said third segment and extending toward a second temporal end of the rim, the second projection having an outer rim surface continuing from an outer rim surface of the third segment when secured, the outer rim surface of the second projection comprising a plurality of holes;
- a nose-pad body configured to be attached to said frame, wherein the nose-pad body has a recess in a bridge portion of the nose-pad body, the nose-pad body comprising first and second pads,
- a nose-pad securing member, the nose pad securing member including a top wall, an intermediate wall, and a bottom wall, wherein the nose pad is secured to the frame at a top surface of a bridge of the frame with attachment of the nose-pad securing member through the recess;
- and
- wherein said first projection and said second segment are configured to be releasably secured to one another at a temporal end of the first rim and when secured said first projection is within said second segment, thereby securing the at least one first lens within the first rim, and
- wherein said second projection and said fourth segment are configured to be releasably secured to one another at a temple end of the second rim and when secured said first projection is within said second segment, thereby securing the at least one second lens within the second rim.
