DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0018] In order to learn technical content, features, and functions of the present invention more clearly and completely, please refer to the following embodiments with related figures and reference signs.

[0019] Refer to FIG. 1-4, a glasses frame 1 is provided with a pivot portion 11 disposed on an outer side thereof and connected with a temple. A recess 12 is arranged at a bottom surface of the pivot portion 11 and a carrier edge portion 13 is projecting from an edge of the glasses frame 1 under the pivot portion 11. A mounting slot 14 is formed on a surface of the carrier edge portion 13. A side cover unit 2 is installed on the carrier edge portion 13 and composed of a cover piece 21, a locking bump 22, a mounting flange 23, and a locking block 24. The locking bump 22 is disposed on a top surface of the cover piece 21 and corresponding to the recess 12 so that the locking bump 22 and the recess 12 are mounted and positioned by each other. The mounting flange 23 is arranged at the cover piece 21 and corresponding to the carrier edge portion 13 for being mounted in the carrier edge portion 13 correspondingly. The locking block 24 is disposed on a bottom surface of the mounting flange 23 and corresponding to the mounting slot 14. Thus the locking block 24 is able to be mounted and positioned in the mounting slot 14.

[0020] Refer to FIG. 1-6, while in use, users install the side cover unit 2 on the glasses frame 1 correspondingly. First the locking bump 22 on the top surface of the cover piece 21 is mounted into the recess 12 on the bottom surface of the pivot portion 11. Then the side cover unit 2 is rotated downward and toward the carrier edge portion 13 (as shown in FIG. 3) so that the mounting flange 23 on the cover piece 21 is mounted in the carrier edge portion 13 of the glasses frame 1 correspondingly. At the same time, the locking block 24 on the bottom surface of the mounting flange 23 is also mounted and positioned in the mounting slot 14. The assembly of the side cover unit 2 is completed.

[0021] Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, while assembling the side cover unit 2, the glasses frame 1 is provided with an inner lateral surface 10 while the carrier edge portion 13 is provided with a curved loading surface 131 which is perpendicular and adjacent to the inner lateral surface 10. The mounting flange 23 is provided with an edge surface 231 and a curved surface 232 respectively attached to and in contact with the inner lateral surface 10 and the curved loading surface 131 of the glasses frame 1 correspondingly. The locking block 24 is located at the curved surface 232. Thereby the assembly is with better stability.

[0022] Furthermore, for more convenient assembly of the side cover unit 2, one end of the locking block 24 is provided with a first inclined surface 241 (as shown in FIG. 1-3). The mounting slot 14 is provided with a second inclined surface 141 (as shown in FIG. 1) corresponding to the first inclined surface 241. The locking bump 22 is an inclined projection having a higher inner side and a lower outer side. The recess 12 is an inclined groove having a shape corresponding to a shape of the locking bump 22. Thereby the assembly of the side cover unit 2 with the glasses frame 1 is more convenient and both are positioned more firmly by the design of the first and the second inclined surfaces 241, 141 and arrangement of the inclined projection and the corresponding inclined groove.

[0023] In addition, an upper cover portion 15 is disposed on the pivot portion 11 and extended to a top end of the glasses frame 1 for shielding the top of the eyes. After completing the assembly of the side cover unit 2, a top side and a lateral side around the eyes can be shielded effectively when users wear glasses for prevention of foreign objects, sunlight, etc. At the same time, the side cover unit 2 is securely connected to the glasses frame 1 and located under the temple. Thus the side cover unit 2 will not affect folding or unfolding of the temple. The side cover unit 2 is assembled stably and convenient to use.

[0024] Please also refer to FIG. 7, for disassembly of the side cover unit 2, the locking block 24 is pressed upward to be released from limit of the mounting slot 14 and rotated upward. Thus the locking bump 22 of the cover piece 21 is further released from the recess 12. Thereby the side cover unit 2 is detached from the glasses frame 1 conveniently.

[0025] In summary, the side cover assembly of glasses frames according to the present invention has the following advantages compared with the structure available now. [0026] 1. In the present side cover assembly, folding and unfolding of the temple will not be affected because the side cover unit is secured firmly to the glasses frame and located under the temple. Thus the side cover unit is assembled stably and convenient to use. [0027] 2. By the locking bump and the locking block respectively mounted and positioned in the recess and the mounting slot correspondingly in combination with the first and the second inclined surfaces and the inclined projection and the inclined groove with matched shapes, the side cover unit is assembled more conveniently and positioned more stably. [0028] 3. By the locking bump being mounted and positioned in the recess and then rotated, the locking block can be smoothly mounted in the mounting slot to complete the assembly. Or the locking block is operated reversely to be pressed upward and released from the mounting slot. The assembly and disassembly of the side cover assembly are convenient with easy operation.

[0029] Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, and representative devices shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalent.
