Eyewear including an optical functional member, control electronics, and a sealed electrical connective element connecting the electronics to the optical functional member. The connective element can directly connect the electronics to the optical functional member, or can connect through an intermediate contact, e.g., a plug-and-receptacle. The connective element can be routed from the electronics, around a rimlock of the eyewear to the optical functional member. The connective element can be a conductive compressible member, such as conductive rubber. In some embodiments, the connective element can be a multiconductor cable.

A frame for spectacles includes a frontal framework with lateral lugs for articulation of arms and means of articulation between each lug and the corresponding arm. The articulation means include a flexible member, structurally independent of the lug and the arm, the flexible member being held on the arm and coupled rotatably, the end of each arm, facing the corresponding lug, shaped in such a manner that the arm, in its movement about the hinge pin, is flexibly constrained towards preselected angular positions relative to the frontal framework. The frame also includes a respective distance element interposed between each arm and the corresponding flexible member, and said distance element is mounted on the arm in an adjustable manner in order to impose, at the level of said distance member, a preselected distance between the arm and the flexible member, and to regulate a flexible pre-load exerted on the flexible member.

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.

An electronic frame including: a surface element configured to house at least one lens; at least one sidepiece having an end that is connected to the surface element by a hinge having a hinge axis; a conductor configured to bend and that extends between the surface element and the at least one sidepiece in the region of the hinge; at least one body positioned between the surface element and an end of the at least one sidepiece, the body being movably mounted in the electronic frames and including a through-opening to allow the conductor to pass through.

An eyewear device provides for routing a flexible conductive element or conductor through a hollow interior of a hinge mechanism that connects a temple of the eyewear device to its. The hinge mechanism comprises a pair of hinge pieces that defines a composite conduit through the hinge mechanism, conduit and hence the conductor routed through the passage being hidden or obscured from external view in any operational position of the hinge mechanism.

A glasses frame includes: a pair of lens-holding frames each holding vertically arranged lenses; a bridge coupling the lens-holding frames in height at the center; a temple; an inverting unit provided on an outside and in height at the center of each of the lens-holding frames and configured to invert the temple; and nose pads provided correspondingly one-to-one to both ends of the bridge and supporting the bridge while being in contact with a nose even when the lens-holding frames are inverted, in which the temple includes a bent portion.

A bone conductive sound generating device is provided and includes a sound generating mechanism and a fixing mechanism. The fixing mechanism is configured to act on the sound generating mechanism, such that the sound generating mechanism adheres to and fit with a back of an auricle of a user at least when the sound generating mechanism is in use. Accordingly, the present application may improve the sound quality of the bone conductive sound generating device, improving listening experience for the user.

Embodiments of eyeglasses are provided. The glasses comprise a frame comprising a first and second lens connected by a bridge. Temple pieces extend from either side of the frame. The hinge or hinge point between the temple pieces and the frame can be within the plane of the glasses allowing the temple pieces to fold flat or near flat against the frame. The thickness of the glasses can be less than about 3.5 mm (e.g., 2.6 mm) in a folded configuration.

A pair of spectacles including a lens arrangement having two lateral temple arm bearing arrangements. Each temple arm bearing arrangement has a first hinge lug having a first bearing opening and a second hinge lug having a second bearing opening, and at least one locking member insertion opening configured in the first or second hinge lug. The spectacles additionally comprise two temple arms, which respectively have a temple arm main body, and a bearing pin integrally connected thereto, which bearing pin, in the assembled state, is pivotably connected to the first and second bearing opening of the respective temple arm bearing arrangement. Each temple arm further has at least one locking member, which, in the assembled state, is arranged between the hinge lugs of the respective temple arm bearing arrangement and, in a pivot position, lockingly holds together this temple arm and the lens arrangement.

There is disclosed a wearable item. The wearable item includes at least one elongate member for supporting at least one attachable element. The elongate member is fabricated from an inner core that is surrounded by at least one outer layer. The at least one outer layer is elastic when strained by application of stress below a first elastic limit. The inner core is elastic when strained by application of stress below a second elastic limit or permanently deformed when strained by application of stress above the second elastic limit.
