A glasses frame includes a front-frame and two temples (4, 5) connected to the front-frame through hinges which allow the rotation of the temples (4, 5) from a work position substantially perpendicular to the front-frame, to wear the glasses, as far as a home position substantially parallel to the front-frame, to put away the glasses. The front-frame includes two rims (2, 3) for lens support and possibly a bridge (1) connecting the rims and at least a pivoting element (C) apt to allow the mutual rotation by at least 180° of the rims (2, 3) around a rotation axis (X-X) substantially lying in a plane containing the two centres of the rims (2, 3) and perpendicular to the rims. The temples (4, 5) are directly hinged onto the rims (2, 3).

A transformative, collapsible, portable and versatile personal display system is disclosed having a compact, lightweight collapsible structure enabling applications from eyeglass form virtual, augmented, mixed or experimental reality to a comfortable, portable wristwatch form. The system may be employed at public events and manifestations and permit the unique simultaneous transmission to a multiplicity of locations.

A system for magnetically mounting a pair of eyeglasses to a handheld mobile device, wherein the pair of eyeglasses has lenses, lens rims in which the lenses are supported, and a bridge connecting the lens rims, wherein at least one of the lens rims comprises a material attracted by a magnetic field, a handheld mobile device having a magnet that produces a magnetic field, wherein at least one of the lens rims is configured to coincide with the magnet of the handheld mobile device such that the lens rim is magnetically attachable to the handheld mobile device. Alternatively, an eyeglass case is magnetically mounted to the handheld mobile device.

This invention refers to armless spectacles made from a sheet of material that includes at least a second folding line in stabilisation means. The invention proposes several methods of ensuring the second line and offering even greater rigidity. The spectacles can be converted from a non-functional state into a functional assembled state suitable for use by manipulating the configuration of at least one stabilising means in the bridge area. The spectacles have an enhanced rigidity thus increasing the overall stability of the spectacles during use. They can be presented basically flat for storage or transport and be easily manipulated to achieve the configuration for use. The spectacles may further present enhanced fastening and handling means that increase fastening stability as well as easy placement and removal of the spectacles on and from the nose, which further enhances reliability during use.

The present invention relates to a kit for creating personalized eyewear, such as eyeglasses, sunglasses and the like, that allow the user to alternate temples components, ear supports, lenses, etc. with a frame to create eyewear having different colors and/or styles. Each of the frame, the left and the right ear supports, the left and the right temple components, and the lenses connect to one another by one of a magnet, a clip, a snap, a clasp, a screw, an interference fit, and an interlocking frictional connector.

Eyeglasses are provided capable of folding into a substantially flat configuration that may be fitted inside a compact case or other narrow space. The eyeglasses may include a frame configured to hold one or more lenses and defining an imaginary plane, at least one temple piece, and at least one hinge connecting the at least one temple piece to the frame, wherein the hinge is configured to rotate the at least one temple piece between a first position extending substantially perpendicular to the imaginary plane defined by the frame, and second position extending substantially parallel to the imaginary plane.

Apparatus and systems related to modular eyeglass elements may be provided. A detachable temple may be detachably coupled to a lens assembly at a temple strut of the lens assembly via a locking mechanism. Locking mechanisms may include spring tab, spring lever, spring bar, snap-fit, spring latch, and other disclosed configurations.

A folding frame for eyeglasses, the frame being structured to fold into a W-shape and thereby, dispose a frame front left half in parallel with a frame front right half, both left and right halves being disposed between respective left and right temple pieces. A first catch holds the left and right halves in parallel at a stored configuration, and a second catch holds the temple pieces in parallel at the stored configuration. An enlarged grip area is sometimes provided in at least one temple piece to facilitate one-handed orienting of the fully-deployed frame in registration on a user's head. Certain embodiments are configured to permit a user to cause a one-handed release and subsequent automatic frame deployment from a stored configuration to a first configuration wherein the frame front left and right halves are disposed in a common plane, and the temple pieces are disposed normal to that plane.

An eyeglass frame with an eyeglass front for receiving at least one eyeglass lens, and with a left and right temple, which are pivotably connected to the eyeglass front via a pivot joint connection for holding the eyeglass frame on the head of an eyeglass wearer, wherein the eyeglass front forms at least an upper frame section, wherein the temples can be pivoted relative to the eyeglass front from a position of use into a closing position, in which the temples are arranged above the upper frame section, and vice versa. The temples are arranged in a crossed position relative to each other in their closing position above the upper frame section.

A pair of folding glasses includes a frame including two fronts, a bridge pivotably located between the two fronts, and two temples pivotably connected to the two fronts. Each front includes a connection portion which has a first notch defined in the top thereof. The bridge includes two recesses which are respectively engaged with the first notch of the two connection portions. Two wings extend form the two ends of the bridge and each wing include a hole. Two positioning units pivotably position the two wings to the two connection portions. Two positioning units connect the bridge to the two connection portions. Two arms are retractably inserted into the two temples via two respective openings in one end of each temple. The two fronts are pivotable about the two positioning units. The two temples are pivotable relative to the fronts.
