Benefits of technology

The present invention is about eyewear that uses a screw-less hinge to connect the temples to the frame. The frames have a curved rung at the end that can hold a cylinder. The cylinder is attached to the spandrel of the temples. The rung can pivot or rotate in the frame, making it easy to remove the temples from the frame. A wedge tool can be used to move the rung out of the way to disassemble the temples from the frame. This invention simplifies the process of disassembling and replacing the temples, making it more accessible for customers.

Problems solved by technology

The hinge portion tends to receive a lot the stress of the eyewear causing damage to the hinge or loosening of the screw.
When this happens it is difficult or inconvenient to fix because the screw is so small and requires small tools.
This mechanism also makes it difficult to replace or change temples.
In these types of glasses, replacing the lenses is a tedious task.

Abstract

An eyewear utilizing a screw-less hinge to connect the temple to the frame. The frames terminate laterally at an open, curved rung configured to receive a cylinder. This cylinder is fixed to the temple. Due to the configuration of the curved rung, the cylinder can be inserted into the curved rung in a rotatable or pivotable fashion. The cylinder receiving the curved rung holds the frame together and keeps eye wires from opening, thus keeping lenses from falling out of the eyewear. A wedge tool can be used to displace the curved rung from the cylinder to easily remove the temple from the frame.
