Abstract: |
A removable sunglass assembly to be attached to a conventional eyeglass assembly having lenses, a lens frame, and bow members extending aft from the frame. The preferred embodiment of the removable sunglass assembly includes a one-piece lens member having side support members with the lens member serving as the frame, side support members, and a top support member. The resiliency of the one-piece arcuate lens member provides a clamping force by which the removable sunglass assembly can be attached to the conventional eyeglass assembly. The side support members locate and attach the removable sunglass assembly to the bow members of the conventional eyeglass assembly while a top support member locates the removable sunglass assembly to the top of the conventional eyeglass assembly. Reliable securing elements are provided by resilience of the material used to construct the arcuate lens member and the high-friction, resilient, and anti-skid material used to construct the side support members. A second embodiment of the removable sunglass assembly provides a main top support member achieving the function of the arcuate lens member as noted above.

We claim:
1. A removable sunglass assembly adapted to be releasably connected to a conventional eyeglass assembly having a lens frame with lens members and bow members pivotally connected to opposed outer ends of the lens frame, comprising:
- a) an arcuate lens member having integral outer side sections biased inwardly toward each other;
- b) outer side support members connected to respective ones of said outer side sections;
- c) said outer side sections each has a laterally extending connector lug; and
- d) said outer side support members each has a lens support slot formed therein for receiving respective ones of said connector lug of said arcuate lens member;
whereby said side support members contact outer respective surfaces of the bow members in a clamped, inwardly biased manner to hold said removable sunglass assembly on the conventional eyeglass assembly.
