| Abstract: |
In eyewear employing temples, a substantially cylindrical elastomeric traction member is disposed in a recessed seat which extends along a length of each temple to provide a contact area between the temple and the head. The traction member and seat may be sized so that the traction member is substantially flush with the adjacent temple or alternatively, the traction member may extend beyond the periphery of the temple. In either configuration, the traction device extends substantially parallel to the length of the temple.
