Abstract: |
An eyeglass combination includes a primary frame having a bridge and two side studs. An auxiliary frame includes a bridge and two side extensions each having a rear flange for engaging with the stud and for allowing the auxiliary frame to be secured to typical primary frame. The rear flanges each includes a magnet for engaging with another magnet engaged in the studs or for engaging with the studs of magnetic material. The magnets are preferably disposed laterally.

First Claim:

I claim:
1. An eyeglass combination comprising:
- a primary frame including a first bridge and two sides each having a stud; and
- an auxiliary frame for disposing in front of the primary frame, the auxiliary frame including a second bridge and two sides each having an extension extended rearward toward the primary frame and extended over one of the studs, the extensions each including a rear end having a first flange extended downward;
- wherein
- said studs of said primary frame each includes a magnetic material;
- said first flanges, themselves not being magnets, each includes a magnet for engaging laterally with the magnetic material of one stud and for securing said auxiliary frame to said primary frame; and
- when the auxiliary frame is coupled to the primary frame,
- the extensions can be supported by the studs to prevent the auxiliary frame from moving downward relative to the primary frame; and
- the flanges are located behind the studs to further secure the auxiliary frame to the primary frame, and to reduce the likelihood of the auxiliary frame from being disengaged from the primary frame if the auxiliary frame is being pulled forward relative to the primary frame.
