| Abstract: |
A first frame of an eyeglass device includes a bridge with a magnetic member, and two retaining mechanisms for supporting a pair of lenses. The retaining mechanisms defines a frontal plane. The bridge ties the two-retaining mechanism together, with the magnetic member magnetically coupling to another magnetic member at the bridge of a second frame. In one embodiment the coupling occurs at a coupling surface on the second frame that is substantially perpendicular to the frontal plane. The magnetic member at the bridge of the first frame can be a permanent magnet or a magnetizable member. The second frame can be a primary frame, and the first frame can be an auxiliary frame.

First Claim:
Show all 46 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. An eyeglass device comprising:
- a first frame including
- two retaining mechanisms for supporting a pair of lenses, and defining a frontal plane,
- a bridge connecting the two retaining mechanisms and holding the two retaining mechanisms together, and
- a magnetic member at the bridge for magnetically coupling to another magnetic member at the bridge of a second frame;
- such that when coupled, the two frames are attached together, and due to the locations of the magnetic members, one of the frames is restricted from moving downwards relative to the other frame.
