| Abstract: |
An eyeglass frame with a hearing aid which provides for a microphone being positioned in one temple and the amplifier in the other temple with electrical connections therebetween. Each temple is mechanically connected to a temple tip hinged to the frame front so that when the mechanical connection is broken to remove the temple from the temple tip, the electrical connections are also broken, thereby permitting ready removal and replacement of the temple with the electrical element therein. Connections between each temple and temple tip include a bifurcated member on the temple tip for interaction with a post in the temple, by means of which both mechanical and electrical connection are effected when the two parts are joined together.

I claim:
1. The combination comprising
- an eyeglass frame front,
- a pair of temple tips connected to the frame front,
- a pair of electrical lead wires mounted in said frame front, the free ends of said electrical lead wires extending to said temple tips,
- a first electric hearing element in one temple,
- a second electric hearing element in the other temple,
- a first member on said temple tip to which one of said lead wires is connected,
- a second member on said temple electrically connected to said hearing element in said temple,
- said members having transversely engageable interlocking electrically conductive portions engageable upon relative axial movement of said temple tip and temple toward one another to form a mechanical and electrical connection between said members and the respective temple tip and temple,
- and frictionally engageable electrically conductive members on said temple tip and said temple respectively, electrically connected to said other lead wire and said hearing element in said temple and engageable upon relative axial movement of said temple tip and temple toward one another to provide an electrical connection between said pair of members,
- said first member comprising a bifurcated member, said second member comprising a stud engageable by said bifurcated member.
