Embodiments of thin eyeglasses are provided. The eyeglasses comprise first and second lens connected by a resilient bridge. The eyeglasses comprise a first and second ear piece connected to the first and second lens by a first and second hinge. One lens can be rotated about the hinge and over the other lens to place the eyeglasses in a compact configuration.

A spectacle frame is disclosed comprising a front piece and a pair of temple bars, wherein said temple bars comprise a temple bar body provided with a housing pocket, and a terminal extension provided with a mounting stem, said stem being inserted longitudinally adjustable into said housing pocket, wherein a plurality of parallel grooves is provided on an adjustment side of said temple bar, and a through cut-out is provided on said temple bar body opposite to said parallel grooves, and moreover a leaf-spring member which has a central knee portion and two lateral wings which extend on two converging planes, and a closing cover of said cut-out provided with an inner surface and elastically snap-locked in said cut-out, remaining with an outer surface thereof flush with an outer surface of said temple bar body, said leaf-spring member being enclosed between said inner surface of the cover and said grooves.

In one aspect, a headset may include a bridge with lenses, an elongated left temple coupled to a left portion of the bridge, and an elongated right temple coupled to a right portion of the bridge. The headset may also include at least one adjustable mechanism that is manipulable to dynamically arrange the structure of the temples toward and away from the bridge, as well as a locking mechanism that selectively locks and unlocks the arrangement of the temples with respect to the bridge. In some examples, the adjustable mechanism may include at least one track for sliding the left and right temples with respect to the bridge to extend and retract distal portions of the temples from the bridge, and at least one element such as a wheel that is controllable to move the temples with respect to the bridge along the at least one track.

Spinnable frames for spectacles are provided. A spinnable frame allows a user to hold a distal end of one of the temples and freely spin the remainder of the spectacles around that end of the temple. A spin joint is provided in at least one of the temples that allows this spinning action. The spin joint may span an interface between the distal end of the temple and a proximal end of the temple, the proximal end being coupled to a front portion of the frame at a hinge interface. In this way, the temple arm is allowed to fold against the front portion for compact storage, as with conventional eyeglass frames, while facilitating spinning of the spectacles in a way that avoids excess forces on the hinge interface and/or other portions of the frame or lenses mounted therein.

A device for mutually fixing component parts of a frame for spectacles includes a first fixing element which is connectable by a sliding coupling inside a second fixing element and locking means, active between the first and second fixing elements, transversely to the coupling direction. The first fixing element includes at least a first seat which slidingly receives a respective first magnet, the second fixing element includes a second magnet and a second seat. The second seat configured to receive, with reduced connection play, a portion of the first magnet when it is moved, with partial extraction from the first seat, by the magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnets produced by mutual positioning of the first and second magnets with opposite magnetic polarities so that the first magnet, by engaging the first seat and the second seat, prevents relative movement between the first and second fixing elements.

This hearing device, for example, includes a vibrator for transmitting vibration corresponding to a voice signal to the nasal bone of a user to let the user hear sound. The hearing device may further preferably include an eyeglass-type housing for carrying the vibrator in a position at which a nose pad is provided. The hearing device may also preferably incorporate a voice signal reception unit for receiving, wirelessly or by wire, a voice signal generated by an external sound source, or an internal sound source for self-generating a voice signal. When implementation as a hearing aid or a sound collector is contemplated, the external sound source or the internal sound source may preferably be a microphone for collecting ambient sound.
