Embodiments provide an eyewear apparatus that include an additional structural component that resembles a character. Although, the location of the additional structural component on the frame can vary depending on implementation, in at least one example, the additional structural component is located on the top of the frame of the eyewear apparatus such that the additional structural component conceals the forehead of a user when the user is wearing the eyewear apparatus. In at least one embodiment, the additional structural component may be located at any point along the frame, however, in some embodiments, the additional structural component is located on the top or the sides of the frame, e.g., such that the additional structural component does not interfere with the user's ability to see out of the eyewear apparatus.

An eyeglass system includes interchangeable anterior aesthetics. The system includes a base frame, including a front face with a left lens orbital carrying a left lens and a right lens orbital carrying a right lens, and left and right earstems attached to the front frame. A decorative top frame includes a left annular mask with an unobstructed left opening and a right annular mask with an unobstructed right opening, configured to cover the left and right orbitals, respectively, while exposing the left and right lenses through the left and right openings. The top frame is releasably connectable to the base frame. The system may include a plurality of visually distinct top frames, each interchangeably removably connectable to a common base frame.

A hardware mounting system for eyewear including a mounting bracket that is secured to a temple of eyewear by wrapping a stretchable retention band around the temple and aligning two openings in the retention band around a protrusion in the mounting bracket. Either or both of a mounting arm and a spherical rod end can be secured to the mounting bracket. The mounting arm can allow an ear device such as hearing protection to be secured to the eyewear. The spherical rod end allows a device having a socket such as certain illumination devices to be secured to the eyewear.

Hair clip device (10) comprising: —a front element (12) extending between a first and a second extremity (12a, 12b); —two lateral elements (13, 14) provided with a first free end (13a, 14a) configured to rest on a user's auricle; —articulation means (15) fixed to the front element (12) and to the lateral elements (13, 14) and configured to allow a rotation of the lateral elements (13, 14) with respect to the front element (12), between an open position and a closed position; —locking means (B) configured to retain the lateral elements (13, 14) in the open position with respect to the front element (12) and comprising optionally (a) first and second retaining elements (16, 17) or (b) a cantilever element (160). The front element (12) is devoid of lenses and/or of a nosepiece and is provided with at least one ornamental element (11a, 11b, 11c).

A device for attaching a jewel or ornament to a hinge of a pair of eyeglasses having a threaded shank portion compatible with an eyeglass hinge threaded hole, a crown disposed at a top end of the threaded shank portion, and a drive tool receiver, such as a slot or crosspoint, disposed at the bottom end of the threaded shank portion. The device is installed into a threaded hole in a hinge by turning it with a tool which is inserted into the bottom of the hinge and rotating in an opposite direction of normal screw installation, thereby leaving the crown portion at the top of the screw available to hold a jewel or ornament while avoiding placing possible damaging torque and force on the jewel or ornament.
