Abstract: |
Eyeglasses having temples pivotally attached to an eyewear front and which include an elongate body having a front end connected to the eyewear front and an inner surface adapted to be positioned against a head of a wearer. The elongate body has a notch formed at least partially between the inner and outer surfaces and opening at a rear to the outer surface to form a thinned wall section between the notch and inner surface and a rearwardly facing projection between the notch and outer surface. The thinned wall section has a smaller cross-section than a remaining portion of said elongate body and providing outward flexibility to said temple. The projection has a rearwardly facing tip and is spaced from the notch to thereby define a gap adapted to receive an object to enable the temple to be clipped to a shirt pocket.
