DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(8) The silicone eyeglass frame (1) according to the invention consists of a highly flexible and mobile siloxane structure. It is capable of being folded without being broken and of being directed to particular surfaces. The flexible eyeglass frame (1) without legs, regarding the material from which it is produced, consists of types of polydimethylsiloxane. These can be polydimethylsiloxane derivatives, the use of polydimethylsiloxane at different percentages and the mixture thereof with other materials. Moreover, said material can consist of polydimethylsiloxane, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), chemical derivatives of said substances and the mixtures thereof at different percentages. These materials can be mixed with softener chemicals at different ratios for providing the desired rigidity and softness of the eyeglass. Thanks to said material, the eyeglass frame (1) serves as a spring grasping the nose and can be attached to the nose without needing any additional apparatus. It is capable of standing attached to the nose without falling therefrom during the daily activities such as reading, despite the weight of the lenses. Therefore, the need for legs extending to the ears in the eyeglass frame (1) is eliminated.

(9) Thanks to the flexible structure provided with the material, the sections of the eyeglass frame (1) holding the lenses are lifted 30 degrees above. The oval sections of the eyeglass frame (1) holding the lenses are produced by being positioned at different angles between 0 and 60 degrees according to the nose area (2).

(10) Said eyeglass frame (1) is produced by using polydimethylsiloxane derivatives, the use of polydimethylsiloxane at different percentages and the mixture thereof with other materials. The production is performed with the injection molding method (LSR-liquid silicone rubber) or with the hot molding method (HTVhigh temperature vulcanization).

(11) By the sides of the silicone eyeglass frame (1) according to the invention, small silicone holes (3) are provided. The eyeglass frame (1) can be attached to the accessories through these holes (3). These accessories are necklace, eyeglass cord and retractable reel clips complementing the eyeglass. The most suitable sizes for the eyeglass frame (1) according to the invention are horizontally 116.637 mm in a way to incorporate the side holes (3) as well and 4.500 mm in terms of thickness. Said sizes can change according to the models and formal differences.

(12) In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a material made of steel or plastic and having a spring property is embedded within the nose area (2) of the eyeglass frame (1) during production. This spring material provides the eyeglass frame (1) to be attached on the nose.
