The present invention generally concerns a one piece eyewear having concealed hinges made via 3D printing. More specifically, the invention includes a U-shaped hinge with irregular offsets that are blended parametric curves that connect a lens frame to temple bars. The hinge is most flexible at its parabolic cross section and allows the temple bars to open and close, mimicking the rotational and stress bearing properties of traditional mechanical hinges. The eyewear is sculpted in a 3D modeling program that exports digital instructions for rendering the hinges, lens frame, and temple bars as a single construct by a 3D printer. The one piece eyewear is capable of accepting prescription or non-prescription lenses. A method for making the eyewear having concealed hinges is also disclosed. |

Eyeglasses with replaceable temples, and exemplary mechanisms to attach a frame-connected portion to a replaceable temple portion, are presented. An eyeglass frame can be attached to a hinged metal piece. The hinged metal piece can have a front solid portion and a rear bezel, including a spring and mesa portion. The spring and mesa portion can include a resilient spring material and an upwardly protruding mesa, and can be inserted into a cavity in a temple piece, and locked into place. By providing numerous temple pieces having essentially the same cavity dimensions, the eyeglasses can be used with an assortment of interchangeable temple pieces, which can be changed at will, effectively giving a wearer many looks and styles from the same basic frame, with the same lenses. |

A hinge and joint for a pair of eyeglasses is disclosed. A split frame has upper and lower rim end pieces that bend and extend rearwardly. A vertically-extending hollow shaft is provided on the end of a temple. A spring or springs are positioned laterally between the rim end pieces and the shaft, such that the shaft bears against the spring or springs. A U-shaped housing fits over the exterior top, bottom, and side of the joint and has a pair of aligned slots in top and bottom flanges. A pin is placed through the aligned slots in the housing and the shaft of the temple. Lateral force provided by the spring or springs biases the joint away from the aligned position, and that force, in combination with upper and lower shoulders on the pin, keep the joint and hinge together. |

An eyewear includes a lens unit and two temples each having a fixed segment, a movable segment, at least one connecting portion and a flexible elastic portion. For each temple, the connecting portion interconnects the fixed segment and the movable segment. The movable segment is pivotable between an open position and a folded position. The elastic portion is integrally formed with and interconnects the fixed segment and the movable segment. When the movable segment is moved between the open position and the folded position, the elastic portion is deformed for generating a restoring force to drive the movable segment to pivot to one of the open position and the folded position from the other one of the open position and the folded position. |

A pair of eyeglasses with securing temples having snap-steel interiors. These temples comfortably wrap partially about a user's head, thereby securing the eyeglasses to the user's head. The snap steel transforms the temples from a first, rigid position where the glasses can be easily stored and transported to a second, wrapped position where the temples wrap about and contour to a user's head. The temples and the frame are manufactured from the same piece of material. |
