An eyeglasses temple includes a curved section and a support section coupled to the curved section. The curved section includes a metal member, upper and lower plastic members for wrapping the metal member, and a connector installed to an inner side of the support section and proximate to an eyeglasses frame. The metal member is made of a flexible iron material, the upper and lower plastic members are made of silicone and nylon respectively, and the support section is made of nylon. With the metal member made of a flexible iron material, the upper plastic member made of silicon, the lower plastic member made of nylon, and the support section made of nylon, the eyeglasses temple has a higher strength, and provides a friction between the eyeglasses temple and a wearer's ear to prevent the eyeglasses from sliding down or falling out from the wearer's nose bridge and ears.

Apparatuses and systems are disclosed and can include a case for eyewear having an eyewear body carrying onboard electronic components that comprise a heat source that generates heat during electrically powered operation is disclosed. The case can hold the eyewear when the eyewear are in a stowed position. The case can further include one or more supports to support the eyewear in the stowed position within the holding space. One or more heat sinks are integrated with the one or more supports. Each of the one or more heat sinks are thermally conductive coupled with a corresponding heat sink of the eyewear. A first heat conduction pathway is thermally connected to the one or more heat sinks and can extend into the case body to conduct heat from the heat source into the case with the eyewear supported in the stowed position.

Technologies provide a heat pipe having a controlled torque resistance. The techniques disclosed herein provide a heat pipe that can function as a coupling device and as a thermal interface between two moving components of a device without the need of a mechanical hinge. In some configurations, a heat pipe comprises a housing having an outer surface and having an inner surface defining a cavity. The heat pipe can also comprise one or more components for transferring heat from a first region to a second region. In addition, the heat pipe is configured to provide a predetermined torque resistance about a first axis that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the heat pipe. Components, such as a heat source and a heat sink, that are attached to the heat pipe can be hingeably coupled with a predetermined torque resistance without requiring a hinge and a separate thermal interface device.

A method for making spectacle arms from composite material with differentiated rigidity, the arms defining a first portion and an adjacent second portion which is less rigid than the first portion. The method includes: providing a first layer of non-cross-linked fiber-reinforced polymer material in the first and second portions; providing a separating element in the first portion, and superimposing a second layer of non-cross-linked fiber-reinforced polymer material on the first layer so as to cover the separating element at the first portion and contact the first layer at the second portion; subjecting the first layer, the second layer, and the separating element interposed between them to a molding process at predetermined pressure and temperature levels so as to cross-link the polymer of the composite material, thus obtaining a thickness and rigidity of the arm at the first portion which are greater than the thickness and rigidity at the second portion.

A manufacturing process of a leather eyeglasses frame and eyeglasses frame obtained with such a process is disclosed. An eyeglasses frame is provided wherein the frontal lens-holder frame, and possibly each of the two lateral temples, are made of two identical layers of leather, between which a thin reinforcing metal core is concealingly inserted.

An aspect includes a temple assembly that is configured to retain one or more lenses relative to a head of a user. The temple assembly may include a temple substrate and an insert. The temple substrate may be comprised of one or more polymers. The insert may be located at least partially within the temple substrate. The insert is configured to impose a spring force against the head of the user and is configured to allow at least a portion of the temple substrate to rotate axially about at least a portion of the insert such that the portion of the temple substrate deforms relative to the insert and at least partially independently of the insert.
