| Abstract: |
Athletic spectacles include a plastic spectacle frame which is comprised of a pair of angular lens supports which are interconnected by a bridge member. The nasal side of each lens support is provided with loops which serve to anchor a soft resilient arch which encases the bridge member and extends partially around the nasal side of each lens support. A pair of temples are provided and are pivotally connected to the spectacle frames to prevent pivotal movement of the temples through an arc of approximately 180°. The provision of the arch and the pivotal connection of the temples to the spectacle frames minimizes the occurrence of injury to a user and damage to the spectacles.

We claim:
1. Athletic spectacles including
- a spectacle frame formed of thermoplastic material and including a pair of similar annular lens supports, each lens support including a nasal side and a temporal side, and having annular exterior surface and a lens-receiving grooved annular interior surface, each lens support having angular portion extending rearwardly in substantially right angular relation from the general plane of the spectacle frame, each angular portion having a pair of spaced apart hinge elements projecting therefrom,
- a pair of lenses, each mounted within one of said lens supports,
- a bridge member integrally formed with and interconnecting said lens supports,
- each lens support having a slot formed in the nasal side thereof, said slots forming loops which project towards each other, a post integrally formed with said bridge member and projecting therefrom,
- a soft resilient arch completely encasing the bridge member and extending over the exterior surface of the nasal side of each lens support to completely encase each loop member, and also encasing said post, said arch being spaced from the annular interior surface of each lens support,
- a pair of temples, each having inner and outer ends, each temple having a hinge element integral with the inner end thereof and projecting therefrom, each temple element positioned between the pair of hinge elements on one of said angular portions,
- a hinge pin connecting the hinge elements on each temple and lens support to permit pivotal movement of each temple through an arc of approximately 180°.
