DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(10) As shown in FIG. 1, a lens replacement assembly of glasses according to the present invention includes a frame body 1 and a lens 2.

(11) The frame body 1 consists of two lower frame portions 11, a nose-bridge portion 12 which connects the two lower frame portions 11, a corner portion 13 disposed on an outer side of each of the lower frame portions 11, an open portion 14 located between the two corner portions 13, two side rods 15 each of which is connected between the lower frame portion 11 and the corner portion 13 correspondingly, two first grooves 16 each of which is disposed on the lower frame portion 11 and the nose-bridge portion 12 and integrally communicating between the lower frame portion 11 and the nose-bridge portion 12 correspondingly, a second groove 17 disposed on each of the corner portions 13, and a hollow portion 18 formed on each of the side rods 15 and corresponding to the first and the second grooves 16, 17. The first groove 16 on the nose-bridge portion 12 is provided with a first mounting recess 161.

(12) The lens 2 is composed of a notched portion 21 corresponding to the nose-bridge portion 12 and two lens portions 22 (a left lens portion and a right lens portion) divided by the notched portion 21 and able to be mounted into the first and the second grooves 16, 17 of the lower frame portions 11 correspondingly. The lens portion 22 is provided with a first protruding member 221 corresponding to the first mounting recess 161 and an extended positioning portion 222 located at an outer side of the lens portion 22 and corresponding to the hollow portion 18 on the side rod 15. The extended positioning portion 222 is inserted through and protruding from the hollow portion 18.

(13) While in use, the lens 2 used is a one-pieced lens while an outer end of the corner portion 13 is pivotally connected with a temple 3. In consideration of stable and firm mounting of the lens 2, the second groove 17 on the corner portion 13 is provided with a second mounting recess 171 while each of the lens portions 22 is provided with a second protruding member 223 at the position corresponding to the second mounting recess 171, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 7.

(14) In order to assemble the lens 2 with the frame body 1, as shown in FIG. 1-8, the lens 2 is inclined a certain angle and mounted into the frame body 1 through the open portion 14 on an inner surface of the frame body 1. The left and right lens portions 22 are firstly mounted into the first grooves 16 correspondingly while the notched portion 21 of the lens 2 and the nose-bridge portion 12 are aligned with each other. At the same time, the first protruding members 221 of the lens portions 22 are mounted and locked in the first mounting recesses 161. Then the extended positioning portions 222 of the lens portions 22 are guided to be inserted through and protruding from the hollow portions 18 on the side rods 15 correspondingly. The extended positioning portions 222 are engaged with the hollow portions 18. As shown in FIG. 2, a top edge of the lens portion 22 of the lens 2 is mounted into the second groove 17 on the corner portion 13 for positioning. The lens 2 is further fixed and positioned firmly by the two second protruding members 223 of the lens portions 22 mounted into the second mounting recesses 171 of the second grooves 17 correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 4-8.

(15) In order to replace the lens 2 with a new one, users can pull the corner portion 13 out a bit so that the second protruding member 223 of the lens portion 22 is released from the second mounting recess 171 of the second groove 17 and the second groove 17. Then the extended positioning portion 222 is pulled away from the hollow portion 18. Thereby the lens 2 can be removed from the first grooves 16 on both the lower frame portions 11 and the nose-bridge portion 12 quickly and easily. After completing disassembly of the original lens 2, a new lens is assembled according to the procedure mentioned above. Thus quick replacement of the lens 2 is achieved.

(16) In summary, the lens replacement assembly of glasses according to the present invention has the following advantages compared with the techniques available now.

(17) 1. The lens is firmly secured and positioned in the frame body in a three-point fixing manner by the first protruding members mounted and locked in the first mounting recesses, the extended positioning portions locked in the hollow portions, and the second protruding members engaged with the second mounting recesses.
2. No tool is required and the original lens is quickly released from the engagement by being pulled out of and away from the frame body. Thus quick replacement of the lens is achieved.

(18) 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.
