Title of Invention

AN EYEGLASS

Abstract

An eyeglass device includes a primary and an auxiliary spectacle frames (10, 20) for supporting lenses. The primary spectacle frame (10) includes two legs pivotally coupled to two side extensions (11) and include~ two magnetic members (14) secured in the rear and side portions. The auxiliary spectacle frame (20) includes two legs engaged on the primary spectacle frame (10) and each having a magnetic member (22) for engaging with the magnetic members (14) of the primary spectacle frame (10) so as to prevent the auxiliary spectacle frame (20) from moving downward relative to the primary spectacle frame (10).

AUXILIARY LENSES FOR JSYJfciliLASbfifc The invention relates to auxiliary lenses for eyeglasses. A typical spectacle frame includes first magnetic members secured to the temporal portions and second magnetic members secured to the corresponding temporal portions of the auxiliary lenses. However, the auxiliary lenses are simply attached to the frames by magnetic materials and have no supporting members for preventing the auxiliary lenses from moving downward relative to the frames such that the auxiliary lenses may easily move downward relative to the frames and may be easily disengaged from the frames when the users conduct jogging or jumping exercises. In addition, the magnet ic materials are embedded in the frames of the primary lenses and of the auxiliary lenses such that the frames should be excavated with four or more cavities for engaging with the magnetic members and such that the strength of the frames is greatly decreased. The invention is to provide auxiliary lenses which may be stably secured and supported on the frames. FIGS. 1 and 2 are front views of a spectacle frame and of auxiliary lenses; FIGS. 3 and 4 are top views of the spectacle frame and of the auxiliary lenses respectively; FIG. 5 is a front view of the spectacle frame and the auxiliary lenses combination; FIG. 6 is a top view of the spectacle frame and the auxiliary lenses combination; and FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view taken along lines 7-7 of FIG. 6. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, an eyeglass device comprises a primary spectacle frame 10 for supporting primary lenses and having two extensions 11 extended from the side portions for pivotally coupling a leg 12. The primary spectacle frame 10 includes two projections 13 secured to the rear and side portions for supporting magnetic members 14. An auxiliary spectacle frame 20 may support the auxiliary lenses and includes two side portions each having an arm 21 for extending over and for engaging with the upper portion of the primary spectacle frame 10 (FIGS. 5 and 6). The auxiliary spectacle frame 20 includes two magnetic members 22 secured to the arms 21 for engaging with the magnetic members 14 of the primary spectacle frame 10 such that the auxiliary spectacle frame 20 may be supported stably on the primary spectacle frame 10 (FIGS. 5, 6). The arms 21 are supported on the upper portion of the primary spectacle frame 10 such that the auxiliary spectacle frame 20 may be stably supported and secured to the primary spectacle frame 10. The auxiliary spectacle frame 20 will not move downward relative to the primary spectacle frame and will not be easily disengaged from the primary spectacle frame when the users conduct jogging or jumping exercises. The projections 13 and the magnetic members 14 are secured to the primary spectacle frame 10 and the magnetic members 22 are secured in the arms 21. The magnetic members 14, 22 are not embedded in the frames 10, 20 such that the frames 10, 20 are not required to be formed with cavities and such that the strength of the frames 10, 20 will not be decreased. Referring next to FIG. 7, it is preferable that the projections 13 and the magnetic members 14 are located slightly lower than the upper portion of the primary spectacle frame 10; and the end portions of the arms 21 and/or the magnetic members 22 are slightly extended downward toward the projections 13 such that the arms 21 and the magnetic members 22 may hook on the primary spectacle frame 10 and such that the auxiliary spectacle frame 20 may further be stably supported and secured to the primary spectacle frame 10. Accordingly, the eyeglass device includes an auxiliary spectacle frame that may be stably secured to the primary spectacle frame and will not move downward and will not be easily disengaged from the primary spectacle frame when the users conduct jogging or jumping exercises. In addition, the magnetic members are not embedded in the frames such that the strength of the frames will not be decreased. WE CLAIM 1, An eyeglass device comprising: a primary spectacle frame (10) for supporting primary lenses, the primary spectacle frame (10) including two side portions each having .an extension (11) for pivotally coupling a leg, the primary spectacle frame (10) including two rear and side portions each having a projection (13), the primary spectacle frame (10) including an upper portion, a pair of first magnetic members (14) secured in the projections (13) respectively, an auxiliary spectacle frame (20) for supporting auxiliary lenses, the auxiliary spectacle frame (20) including two side portions each having an arm (12) for extending over and for engaging with the upper portion of the primary spectacle frame (10), and a pair of second magnetic members (22) secured to the arms (12) for engaging with the first magnetic members (14) of the primary spectacle frame (10) so as to secure the auxiliary spectacle frame (20) to the primary spectacle frame (10), the arms (12) being engaged with the upper portion of the primary spectacle frame (10) for preventing the auxiliary spectacle frame (20) from moving downward relative to the primary spectacle frame (10). 2. An eyeglass device according to claim 1, wherein the projections (13) and the first magnetic members (14) are arranged lower than the upper portion of the primary spectacle frame (10), the second magnetic members (22) are extended downward toward the projections (13) for hooking on the primary spectacle 05 frame (10). 3. An ©yeglas device, substantially as herein described, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
