Process for assembling an elastic hinge for eyeglass frames comprising a first articulation provided with a head with a first hole, a second articulation having two shoulders provided with second holes, and a pin having a stem provided with a thinned final portion. The process provides for inserting the head of the first articulation between the two shoulders of the second articulation with the first hole of the first articulation non-aligned with respect to the second holes of the second articulation, an opening thus remaining between such holes. A step for inserting the pin is provided, during which the thinned portion of the pin is wedged in the aforesaid opening between the holes and is screwed into one of the second holes of the shoulders of the second articulation.

Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. A cam is configured to leverage the temple away from the frame during hyperextension and reduce wear. A cosmetic trim may include a recess that receives a protrusion of the frame in the open position, and which protrusion moves out of the recess during hyperextension and creates the cam.

A wearable image display device includes a display unit that displays an image and a wearing unit attached to the display unit. The display unit includes a first positioning portion and a first rotation mechanism that rotates relative to the wearing unit in a rotational direction with a first direction serving as a rotation axis. The wearing unit includes a second positioning portion brought into contact with the first positioning portion and a first fitting mechanism fitted to the first rotation mechanism. The first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are brought into contact with each other either at a first position or at a second position different from the first position in the rotational direction.

A hinge of the flex type for eyeglasses, the hinge having an internally hollow central hinge body, adapted to be coupled to a second body, which is also internally hollow and is adapted to be coupled to an eyeglasses temple, and to a third body adapted to be coupled to the front of the eyeglasses. It is possible to assemble the central body and the second and third body in a pack, in order to define internally the passage of a data/power cable, the central body allowing an accumulation of the data/power cable and ensuring the passage of the cable between the temple and the front without stretching and/or torsion.

A temple intended to be mounted, by a mounting face, in hinged connection, to a spectacle frame, so as to be able to pivot between one and the other of two stable positions called folded position and unfolded position, respectively.

In particular, the temple comprises, from its proximal end toward a distal end, a first section and a second section. The first section is provided with a first face opposite the mounting face). The second section is in a ball joint with the first section. The first face and the second face are also of complementary shapes so as to allow the fitting of one into the other.

Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. A cam is configured to leverage the temple away from the frame during hyperextension and reduce wear. A cosmetic trim may include a recess that receives a protrusion of the frame in the open position, and which protrusion moves out of the recess during hyperextension and creates the cam.

Connection hinge for spectacles frames of the type adapted to connect the lateral sidearm of a spectacles frame to the front part of the same spectacles frame; the connection hinge being characterized by comprising: a cup-shaped body, which is structured so as to be fixed cantilevered in a rigid manner onto the lateral side of the front part of a spectacles frame, and is provided with a central cavity of substantially cylindrical shape and with a transversal, oblong, pass-through slot or cut, which extends along the lateral side of the cup-shaped body while remaining on a lying plane locally substantially perpendicular to the reference axis of the central cavity, and penetrates in the cup-shaped body up to said central recess; a central pin which has a cylindrical shape substantially complementary to that of the central cavity of the cup-shaped body, and is inserted in axially rotatable manner in the central cavity of the cup-shaped body; and a transverse locking plug which has an end rigidly fixed to the body of the central pin, and is structured so as to protrude cantilevered from the cup-shaped body engaging in pass-through and sliding manner the pass-through slot or cut present on the lateral side of the cup-shaped body, and to be rigidly fixed or incorporated on the proximal end of the lateral sidearm of the spectacles.

An assembly for eyeglasses temple includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod each having an elastic component, outer ends of the two elastic components are hooked to each other to cause the second connecting rod and the first connecting rod abut against each other. A protrusion is provided on an end portion of the second connecting rod, when the second connecting rod is rotated to a position perpendicular to the first connecting rod, the protrusion is inserted in and limited by an outer peripheral side surface of an end portion of the first connecting rod.

A photovoltaic (PV) panel mounting system for a vehicle includes: a PV panel movably mounted on a vehicle panel; a first electrode electrically connected to the PV panel; a second electrode attached to the vehicle panel and electrically connected to the first electrode; and a damping mechanism elastically supporting the PV panel with respect to the vehicle panel. The damping mechanism allows the PV panel to move between a first position and a second position. The first position refers to a position in which an outer surface of the PV panel is flush with an outer surface of the vehicle panel and the second position refers to a position in which the outer surface of the PV panel is recessed from the outer surface of the vehicle panel.

Systems and methods for adjusting a level of force exerted by the temple arm portions of a frame of a head mounted wearable device are provided. Hinge mechanisms that provide for the rotatable coupling of a temple arm portion to a rim portion of a frame of the head mounted wearable device, or glasses, may include a rotation mechanism that facilitates rotation of the temple arm portion relative to the rim portion, and a biasing mechanism that can be adjusted to apply a desired level of lateral force to a head of a user wearing the glasses. The hinge mechanisms may allow for adjustments to biasing rates and/or pre-load levels and/or amounts of temple arm portion rotation prior to engagement to adjust the applied force to desired levels and maintain user comfort.
