The lens (16,18) and mounting protrusion (36) together define a threaded bore (34) receiving a threaded fastener (30) therein into. Part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the lens (16, 18) and part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the mounting protrusion (36).

An eyeglass frame is disclosed comprising a bridge and two rims connected by the bridge. Each rim is configured to contain a lens. The eyeglass frame also comprises two split end pieces. Each split end piece comprises a first portion and a second portion. Each split end piece is coupled to and extends outward from a corresponding rim of the two rims on a side of the corresponding rim opposite the bridge. The eyeglass frame further comprises two temples. Each temple comprises a lock on an end of the temple. The lock is configured to at least partially contain both the first portion and the second portion of the split end piece and secure the temple to the corresponding rim and secure the lens within the corresponding rim.

The present invention relates to an articulated mounting for a visor. The articulated mounting supports spectacles. The articulated mounting has a first arm and a second arm connected together at a first pivot; a first end of the first arm is pivotally connected to a second pivot which is connected to a base that is attached to the visor; a second end of the second arm is pivotally connected to a third pivot which is connected to a spectacle connector. The mounting includes a resistance means to assist with maintaining the spectacles on a wearer whilst the visor is displaced. The mounting includes at least one limiting means to restrict range of movement about at least one pivot.

The present invention relates to eyeglasses including eyeglass temples having a hinge structure, and eyeglass temples mounted thereto, and more particularly, to eyeglasses in which a state in which eyeglass temples are folded or unfolded can be stably maintained and the eyeglass temples and eyeglass frame can be connected by even a simple configuration. The present invention provides eyeglasses and eyeglass temples mounted thereto, the eyeglasses being characterized by including: an eyeglass frame into which lenses can be inserted; hinge shafts rotatably inserted into hinge holes of the eyeglass frame; first extension parts extending toward one side from an end of each of the hinge shafts; second extension parts extending upward from an end of each of the first extension parts; first support parts that are connected to the second extension parts and can be supported on the front surface or side surface of the eyeglass frame; and second support parts that are connected to the first support parts in a bent shape and can be supported on the side surfaces or rear surfaces of the eyeglass frame, wherein support is provided in a first area by each of the hinge shafts, in a second area by each of the second extension parts and the first support parts, and in a third area by each of the second support parts.

A head-mounted display includes an optical device that is an image light generating device that forms a virtual image, and a support device that includes a pair of temples and supports the image light generating device from above. The temple includes a contact unit coupled to a main body of the temple by a universal joint, and causes the contact unit to come into contact with a flat portion, for example.

A hinge for eyeglasses has a first and a second frame part, the parts being joined in an articulated manner by a spindle element, the end of the first frame part having a bend which encloses at least in part the spindle element in a pivoting manner, wherein the bend of the first frame part forms two vertically spaced closed loops of a first diameter. The second frame part has a through hole of a second diameter and is positioned in the space between the two loops, such that the first frame part and the second frame part are swivelably connected by the spindle element, which reaches through both the loops and the through hole.

Smartglasses comprising a removable and replaceable front frame comprising hinges; and temples releasably connected to hinges or hinge elements. At least one temple comprises a printed circuit board, battery, microphone, speakers, connectivity module, cellular communications unit and hardware, and an artificial intelligence interface. The front frame contains no electrical wiring that connects to the temples and is configured to be removed and replaced without affecting electronic connection with the temples or any devices or systems paired or connected with the temples. The connectivity module, artificial intelligence interface, cellular communications unit and hardware are configured and programmed to pair or connect the smartglasses to a smartphone, smartwatch, or other devices or systems; activate connections with devices or systems having higher priority until a capacity for connections is reached; and receive oral commands to override or switch default settings and display or present information as specified in the override or switch command. Systems and methods for selling smartglasses by components and providing smartglasses as a service (Gaas) are described.

An assembly (10) of a lens (16, 18) and a component (24, 26). The lens (12, 14) defines a mounting aperture (32) and the component (24, 26) defines amounting protrusion (36) inserted in the mounting aperture (32). The lens (16,18) and mounting protrusion (36) together define a threaded bore (34) receiving a threaded fastener (30) therein into. Part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the lens (16, 18) and part of the circumference of the threaded bore (34) is defined by the mounting protrusion (36).

A bistable hinge element for an eyeglasses frame, which includes a temple cage having a bottom extended laterally by two longitudinal side walls which define a housing that opens onto the proximal transverse face through an opening that is U-shaped in cross-section. The hinge element further includes a front cage which has a bottom extended laterally by two longitudinal side walls which define a housing that opens onto the proximal transverse face through an opening that is U-shaped in cross-section, and a solid body that is elastically deformable along the longitudinal axis, and which has a central portion, with a cross-section corresponding to the transverse cross-section of the U-shaped openings, which is extended at each end by a bulge of a cross-section that is complementary to the transverse cross-section of the housings of the temple and front cages.

A hinge (4) between a frame (2) and a temple (3) of spectacles, rendering it possible for the temples (3) of the spectacles to be in a use and a store position, respectively. At least one electrical or optical cable (14) or wire is running between the frame and the temple, wherein the at least one cable or wire (14) will aim to follow a thought neutral bending plane through the hinge (4). The at least one cable or wire (14) is not stretched in the store position of the temples (3) nor crinkled in the use position. The hinge (4) has two axis connections, a first axis connection (5a) positioned at the frame (2) and a second axis connection (5b) positioned at the temple (3), and therebetween a connector (6) or at least one central part (7).
