The object of the invention is to provide a structure for eyeglass parts which assures excellent connecting strength between the metal core material and the rubber-like elastic material and is free from easy separation of connection surfaces of both materials. Eyeglass parts such as a temple, lens frame, bridge, and top bar are composed by integrally connecting rubber-like elastic material 10 to metal core material 2. Metal core material 2 of temple body 1 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 6 spaced apart in the lengthwise direction, and rubber-like elastic material 10 injection-molded in such manner as to envelop metal core material 2 is integrally connected to metal core material 2 via through-holes 6. |

Eyewear having a curved frame includes a protruding cover lens unit. The cover lens unit can be removably attached to the curved frame to position a less curved non-prescription lens in a protruding position with respect to the curved frame, thereby creating a space within the protruding lens unit. A prescription lens is removably attached to the curved frame and disposed behind the non-prescription lens. The prescription lens extends into the space without interference with the non-prescription lens. |

The invention promotes visibility when applied to a conventional pair of eyeglasses on land or in water and in lit or dark conditions such as the incorporation of colorization, luminescence or reflectivity to the invention. The invention can additionally comprise removable buoyancy applied to the eyeglass temple pieces which causes floatation of the eyeglasses should they be dislodged from the wearer in water. The invention can be selectively attached to a desired position on the temple piece and additional weight or buoyancy can be selectively and removably added to it to increase its visibility. The invention can also provide for personalization. |

The safety eyewear includes a one-piece molded lens frame, and left and right temple bar assemblies. The one-piece lens frame includes a brow bar portion, a central bridge portion, a nose piece portion, and left and right lens frame eyewires that cooperate with the brow bar and bridge to define left and right lens openings. An over-molded elastomeric material is also used to provide soft bumpers in the inner side of the brow bar and a soft cushion on the inner surfaces of the nose piece. The creative and selective use of the over-molded material thus provides both decorative and aesthetic features while also providing functional cushioned areas. |

This invention pertains to an attachment for bifocal eyeglasses which is a dynamic frame fitted with the lens for intermediate vision which will lie in front of the middle one third of the bifocal lens during computer use providing three zones of vision at a time without changing the head position or changing to a separate computer eye glass. This attachment along with the bifocal eye glass enables the optical centers of the distant vision and intermediate vision lens to overlap with each other falling on the visual axis, coinciding with the pupillary center of the eye at the primary head position overcoming strain, distortions and aberrations. This dynamic frame is locked at the side of the main frame with the help of press locks when ‘not in use’. This invention makes long hours of computer work comfortable and helps to overcome computer vision syndrome. |

An endpiece (E) is composed by disposing a pair of elastic inner and outer wiring or plating parts in juxtaposition. An outer part external member (1) is adopted to keep a shape and structure of the endpiece (E) intact and reinforced. The inner part is a buffer piece (2) doubled back into a hairpin shape and has at least a first bending portion (21) of convex shape and a second bending portion (22) of concave shape. When a temple (T) is unfolded to excess, the first and second bending portions (21) and (22) flexibly bend towards a direction to which those portions expand so as to counterbalance stress to which the external member (1) is subjected. |

An eyewear assembly having flexible temple elements with counterweights is disclosed. The counterweights and flexible temples can serve several other purposes aside from the disclosed role of supporting eyewear on a wearer's face. Those purposes include ornamental elegance in design and facilitating a natural adjustability around unique personal features for position and comfort. The flexible temple elements provide mechanisms for transmitting electrical, mechanical and photonic power and or signals to the eyewear while the counterweights provide the source for said transmissions from a more convenient location. |

An improvement in or relating to spectacles comprising a frame made of a formable material that may be shaped at elevated temperatures, and lenses that are attached to the frame so as to cover a major part of a user's visual field, wherein the formable material is fixed in form and soft and bendable when in an unformed, original state, and is formable at elevated temperatures to form the frame in a configuration that is shaped to the user'face. When the material returns to a temperature of the original state, the frame retains the configuration and is somewhat bendable. The frame includes attachments for positioning the lenses in a predetermined position on the frame to obtain a predetermined distance relative to the eyes and eye lashes of the user. |
