A hinge is provided for pivotally connecting a temple bar and the rims of eyeglass frame including: a first part with an upper flange where a first aperture provides a tight fit for a locking pin head section, and a lower flange provided with a recess for receiving the locking pin cylindrical body, a second part with a second aperture having a higher surface roughness than the locking pin cylindrical body, thereby having a higher surface friction between the bushing and the aperture than between bushing and the locking pin—a bushing with an inner opening, a locking pin having a head section and a cylindrical body The second part arranged with a bushing is inserted between the upper flange and the lower flange of the first part. The locking pin is inserted through the first aperture through the inner opening of the bushing and received in the recess.

Described is an eyeglasses frame comprising a front frame supporting a pair of optical lenses, two bars each positioned at a lateral end of the frame, a first magnetic member integral with the front frame and a second magnetic member integral with the bar, the first and second magnetic members being adapted to engage each other in such a way as to guarantee the rotatable connection of the bars to the front frame.

A hinge of the flex type for eyeglasses, the hinge having an internally hollow central hinge body, adapted to be coupled to a second body, which is also internally hollow and is adapted to be coupled to an eyeglasses temple, and to a third body adapted to be coupled to the front of the eyeglasses. It is possible to assemble the central body and the second and third body in a pack, in order to define internally the passage of a data/power cable, the central body allowing an accumulation of the data/power cable and ensuring the passage of the cable between the temple and the front without stretching and/or torsion.

A temple intended to be mounted, by a mounting face, in hinged connection, to a spectacle frame, so as to be able to pivot between one and the other of two stable positions called folded position and unfolded position, respectively.

In particular, the temple comprises, from its proximal end toward a distal end, a first section and a second section. The first section is provided with a first face opposite the mounting face). The second section is in a ball joint with the first section. The first face and the second face are also of complementary shapes so as to allow the fitting of one into the other.

There is provided a wearable heads-up display (WHUD) having a glasses frame, which may comprise a front frame and first and second temple arms each coupled to the front frame. At least a portion of the first temple arm may be foldable relative to the front frame at a first interface disposed at a first distance along the first temple arm away from the front frame. Similarly, at least a portion of the second temple arm may be foldable relative to the front frame at a second interface disposed at a second distance along the second temple arm away from the front frame. The first distance may be different than the second distance. The WHUD may also include a light engine and a display optic both mounted to the glasses frame, and used to form an image viewable by a user of the WHUD.

Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. A cam is configured to leverage the temple away from the frame during hyperextension and reduce wear. A cosmetic trim may include a recess that receives a protrusion of the frame in the open position, and which protrusion moves out of the recess during hyperextension and creates the cam.

Embodiments of ultrathin eyeglasses are provided. The eyeglasses comprise a frame and temple pieces extending from the frame. The frame and temple pieces are configured to be directly connected using a bearing or a pin, without the need for a separately attached hinge piece. The temple pieces are configured to sit flat against the frame. An eyeglasses case is also provided. The case has a thin profile and is configured to be attached to a smartphone. The connection between the case and the smartphone allows relative rotation between the case and the smartphone.

A hinge system for eyeglasses, including: a first hinge element, including a first end and a second end, where the first end includes a retention element; and the second end includes a first hole that extends between two opposite faces of the first hinge element; a second hinge element, including an aperture for receiving the first hinge element; and a second hole that extends from a face of the second hinge element to the aperture, where the first and second hinge elements form a hollow cavity; a pin at least partially engaged in the hollow cavity; and a lamellar element, including an aperture, where at least a part of the lamellar element is between the retention element and the second hinge element.
