1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a pair of eyeglasses, and more particularly, to a pair of eyeglasses without using screws to secure the lenses.
2. Description of Related Art
The conventional eyeglasses have different purposes such as the sunglasses and reading glasses, and the conventional eyeglasses generally comprise a front with two rims, and two temples are connected to the two rims respectively. The temples are connected to the rims by screws and each of the rims has a lens installed therein.
The lenses each are shaped to be matched with the installation holes of the two rims and the each rim has a connection portion which is connected to the temple by screws so that the lens is securely connected to the rim.
However, the size of the connection portion of the rim is small and the screws have to be small enough to be connected to the connection portion and the temple, so that the assembler has to take extra attention to secure the screws by a proper tool. In other words, the screws and the tool are specially designed and the tiny screws are easily loose.
The present invention intends to provide a pair of eyeglasses and the lenses are secured to the rims without using any screw.
The present invention relates to a pair of eyeglasses and comprises a frame having two rims with a bridge connected therebetween. Each rim has an installation hole and a groove is defined in the inner periphery of each of the installation holes. A recessed reception portion is defined in the outside of each of the rims. Two lenses are installed in the installation holes and each has an inner end engaged with the groove, and the outer end of each lens is located in the reception portion. A passage is defined through the distal end of each of the rims and an opening is defined through the distal end of each of the rims and communicates between the passage and the reception portion. An engaging hole is defined through the front wall of the distal end of each of the rims and communicates with the passage. Two connection members are respectively inserted into the two passages and each connection member has a protrusion which extends through the opening and presses the lens. Each connection member has a resilient engaging portion which is movably engaged with the engaging hole corresponding thereto.
Preferably, two temples are respectively connected to the two connection members.
Preferably, a resilient band is connected between the two connection members.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a pair of eyeglasses and the lenses are secured to the frame without using screws.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
The two lenses 2 are respectively located in the installation holes 11 of the two rims. Each lens 2 has the inner end thereof engaged with the groove 111 of the rim corresponding thereto, and the outer end of each lens 2 is located in the reception portion 112.
The two connection members 3 are respectively connected to two temples 4 and the connection members 3 are inserted into the two passages 12. Each connection member 3 has a protrusion 31 which extends through the opening 121 and presses the lens 2 in the reception portion 112. Each connection member 3 has a resilient engaging portion 32 which is removably engaged with the engaging hole 122 corresponding thereto.
The lenses 2 are easily secured and installed to the installation holes 11 of the frame 1 by engaging the periphery of the lens 2 with the groove 111, and the outer end of each lens 2 is located in the reception portion 112. Each of the connection members 3 has a protrusion 31 which extends through the opening 121 so as to press the lens 2 in the reception portion 112. In order to further position the connection member 3, each connection member 3 has a resilient engaging portion 32 which is removably engaged with the engaging hole 122 corresponding thereto. It is noted that the lenses 2 are secured without using any tool and screw.
When replacing the lenses 2, the resilient engaging portions 32 are respectively pushed inward to remove the resilient engaging portions 32 from the engaging holes 122, the connection members 3 can be removed from the passages 12, and the lenses 2 can be replaced.
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
