Abstract: |
An eyeglass construction is described and comprises a lens, a pair of lens engaging members, a pair of hinge members, and a pair of temple pieces. The hinge members are adapted to slidably engage the lens engaging members and to be connected therewith for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. The pair of temple pieces each have a portion adapted to engage a hinge member and to be connected therewith for pivotal movement about a substantially vertical axis. The lens engaging member and the hinge member have cooperating angular positioning elements so that the members may be adjusted relative to one another to enable the lens to adopt various angular position relative to the temple pieces.

What is claimed is:
1. An eyeglass construction comprising:
- a) a lens having opposite sides and an upper edge surface;
- b) a pair of lens engaging members, each lens engaging member having a first portion configured to slidably engage, through endwise insertion, the upper edge surface of said lens at a respective one of said opposite sides, and a second portion defining a first hinge area;
- c) a pair of hinge members, each hinge member having a first portion adapted to slidably engage said first hinge area of said second portion of said lens engaging member and to be connected therewith for pivotal movement about a substantially horizontal axis, each said hinge member having a second portion defining a second hinge area;
- d) a pair of temple pieces, each temple piece having a first portion adapted to engage said second hinge area of said second portion of said hinge member and to be connected therewith for pivotal movement about a substantially vertical axis whereby said temple pieces may be folded rearwardly of said lens; and
- e) angular positioning means on each said lens engaging member and hinge member cooperating to angularly adjust, about said horizontal axis, said members relative to one another to thereby enable said lens to adopt various angular positions relative to said temple pieces.
