Abstract: |
A spectacle frame has a front, lens-supporting section, and a pair of temples pivotally connected to opposite ends of the front section to swing into and out of inoperative positions in which they are folded in overlapping relation against the front section. Decorative sleeves, which are generally C-shaped in cross section, and which are made of a magnetizable material, are slidably mounted on opposite ends of the front section, and the ends of the temples pivoted thereon. Secured to the outside faces of the front section and temples beneath the removable sleeves is a layer of compressible tape containing magnetic particles which help to secure the sleeves removably on the temples and front section.
