Abstract

Glasant eyeglasses with two channels in their composition include the lens (S), onto which metal elements for fixing the lens (S) are mounted, identical to or using the same fixing method for the nose element (N), the right (DR) and left (LR) temple elements, defined by the aspect that the lens (S) has the main lateral channel (BK), (Bl), and the auxiliary channel (GK), (B2) or hole (RT), whose longitudinal axes are parallel to each other and approximately perpendicular to the surfaces (Pl), (P2) of the lens (S). The working segment (B), (Bl) is mounted in the main channel (BK), (BKN) and on one side is fixedly connected to an elastic coupling (ES), (DES) which is in elastic contact with the surface (P2) of the lens (S), and on the other side it is fixedly connected to the block segment (VI) which is in elastic contact with the surface (Pl) of the lens (S). The block segment (VI) is fixedly connected to the temple (R.) or to the central joint (CSV) of the nose element (N). 'The thickness (¥) of the lens (S) in the contact zone is greater than the distance (VIES) between the elastic joint (ES) and the segment block (VI). The elastic coupling (ES) permanently exerts a force acting towards the center of the lens (S) and forces the working segment (B), (Bl), (B2) to a fixed permanent contact with the end of the channel (BK), (BKN), (BKR). The elastic coupling (ES), (DES) elastically connects the working segment (B), (Bl) with the auxiliary' segment (G) or (B2) or (T) located in the auxiliary channel (GK), (BKR) or hole (RT), (ORT). The distance (BG), in the pre-assernbly state, between segments (B) and (G) is smaller than the distance (BKGK) between the end of the channel (BK) and the end of the channel (GK). The distance (BI) is less than the distance between the end of the channel (BK) and the end of the seat (RT).

Description

[0001] GLASANT EYEGLASSES WITH TWO CHANNELS

[0002] 1. TECHNIC AL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] This invention relates to rimless eyeglasses, and according to the international classification it is classified as G02C.

[0004] 2.TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0005] The technical problem is to produce rimless eyeglasses that always have the same position of the lenses in relation to the user’s eyes during long-term use and do not change the angles and mutual position of the lenses during the phase of opening and closing the temples.

[0006] The technical problem is to make rimless eyeglasses without the use of screws, any glues or silicone fixators of metal parts on the lenses.

[0007] The technical problem is to produce rimless eyeglasses without all the lens holders and metal parts of the eyeglasses entering the user’s field of vision as with all rimless eyeglasses so far, and all parts having the function of lens holders being located on the edge of the lenses.

[0008] The technical problem is to ensure the long-term use of eyeglasses with the construction of the lens holder in such a way as to prevent any movement of the lens holder inside the lens or in the lens channels. Any movement in the lens increases over time and leads to permanent damage to the lens and unwanted movement of the metal lens holder in relation to the glass, making the eyeglasses unusable.

[0009] The technical problem is to avoid using silicones on the inside of the lenses because over time they change color, lose elasticity and are too visible since the lens is transparent. Metal parts pass through these silicone elements and in this way the metal lens holder is mounted on the lenses.

[0010] The technical problem is to prevent any movement of the metal parts in the channels and to make such a way of fixing the metal parts on the lens that all the mechanical stresses of the metal parts are transferred to the front and back surfaces of the lens and tend to compress the lens, which is impossible with such small forces produced by a thin wire , which would avoid damage to the lens during long-term use and high stresses.

[0011] The technical problem is to make eyeglasses where the last user is enabled to simply rotate the pad arms by a minimum of ninety degrees until it reaches a position where the nose pad is in contact with the upper side of the nose, whereby the nose area in all other eyeglasses is traditionally in contact with the nose pad, was free from any contact with the eyeglasses.

[0012] 3. STATE OF THE ART

[0013] Several methods are known for fixing metal holders to eyeglasses lenses. The screw system has been overcome and it is not even necessary to describe it because it has too many disadvantages and is no longer competitive.

[0014] The most widespread, reliable and functional method of mounting metal elements on lenses is the one that has been produced by the Silhouette brand for years. This mounting sy stem consists of a temple or bridge to which is welded an attachment having two parallel cylinders. These cylinders are passed through two holes made in the lens and then pushed under pressure into the plastic which has two holes. The plastic is flexible enough to allow the cylinders to fit through the holes and hard enough to prevent the cylinders from pulling out. The plastic in which the cylinders are fixed changes its characteristics over time due to the influence of sweat and external factors. The disadvantage of the system is that metal parts, due to the need to drill 4 holes in one line, inevitably enter the user’s field of vision, especially in the nose area.

[0015] The inventor is not aware of any method of fixing and mounting metal lens holders parts that does not enter the user’s field of vision.

[0016] In all designs of rimless glasses that use side channels, it is impossible to effectively prevent the movement of metal parts from the channel to the outside. All projects that did not systematically prevent the unwanted movement of metal parts from ths channel during stress in the phase of extra opening of the temple are not functional because the lens is inevitably damaged during movement of the metal segment in the channel. Several attempts with the hole and the channel are known, but none of them prevented the movement of the wire in the hole and the channel for a long time, which quickly led to the expansion of the hole performed in the lenses and unacceptable movement of the complete temple or bridge towards the open side of the channel.

[0017] It is also unknown to me that the use of vertical segments, which elastically press the front and rear sides of the lens and are fixedly connected to the segment in the channel, prevents any movement of the metal segment in the channel and eliminates the extreme stress that the lens experiences during the extreme opening of the temple or nose support.

[0018] I am not aware that there is a nose arm that can, at the request of the end user, be simply rotated towards the bridge of the eyeglasses and thus avoid contact between the nose pad and the nose area, which is always in contact with the nose pad in other eyeglasses. Banal solutions for solving problems caused by eyeglass nose pads, such as redness, irritation, indentation of the skin and as a result aesthetic defects, damage and inflammation of the skin, pain and other discomforts, do not solve the problem but only alleviate the symptoms.

[0019] 4. ESSENCE OF THE INVENTION

[0020] The main goal of this invention is to create rimless glasses in which the metal supports of the lens do not enter the user's field of view, as the metal elements are shaped like the lens and are located at the edge of the lens in the zone between the main and auxiliary channel, which are performed on the edges of the lens and have a depth and diameter approximately the same as the metal segment in the channel

[0021] A further goal of this invention is to make rimless eyeglasses without using screws, glues, silicone tubes, or any additional parts except for the metal holders and lenses themselves when fixing the metal supports to the lens, because metal and lenses do not. change their mechanical characteristics under the influence sweat, sun or environment. Considering these mechanical properties of the component parts of the eyeglasses, the long-term use of this type of eyeglasses is guaranteed.

[0022] A further goal of this invention is to ensure a fast, simple, unerring installation of metal elements on the lenses of the eyeglasses, while automatically providing all the necessary technical parameters such as the distance and mutual position of the left and right lens, the inclination of the lenses in relation to the temple and to the prescribed temple angles.

[0023] A further goal of this invention is to enable the end user to quickly and easily rotate the pad arm towards the middle of the eyeglasses so that the nose area, which is normally in contact with the nose pad, is relieved of load, irritation and skin damage, and reduces skin sweating during contact with the pad. When rotating the pad, the arm pad rotates in the lens channel, and cannot fall out of the seat in any unwanted way. This innovation is very useful for those users who have to wear eyeglasses all the time, as they can change the positi on of the arm pads in a few seconds, while all technical parameters for positioning the glasses on the head are retained. In the version with two side channels, where it is possible to dismantle the lens by elastically pulling out the metal segment of the eyeglasses from the channel, the arm pad can be dismantled by simply pulling it out towards the open side of that channel.

[0024] The further goal is to produce such a pad arm that can be rotated towards the middle of the nose at the request of the user, whereby returning to the original position is performed by simply turning it to the opposite side until the pad arm comes into contact with the metal element of the eyeglasses and precisely automatically positions itself at the comer before turning.

[0025] A further goal is to enable the user who has to wear eyeglasses all the time to be able to create periods of time in which the pads are not in contact with the damaged or sensitive part of the nose and skin by simply and quickly turning the pad arm.

[0026] A further goal is that the installation of the lens in the lens holder is performed manually, without the use of any tools or assembly machines. A further goal of this invention is to enable the use of commercial lenses that does not have exceptional mechanical characteristics and thus enable the use of this type of eyeglasses for a larger group of users because the price difference between commercial lenses and special lenses is multiple.

[0027] A further goal of this invention is to avoid the weakening of the lens in the zone between the two channels by increasing the distance between the channels and the arrangement of the channels in which the metal holders are mounted, as the distance between the channels is many times greater compared to the competition.

[0028] A further goal of this invention is to prevent axial and any other movement in a hole drilled in the lens in such a way that the segment located in the hole is mechanically blocked from the front side of the lens and from the back side of the lens, which would enable the use of lenses with weaker mechanical properties and significantly reduce the eyeglasses cost.

[0029] A further goal of this invention is to make eyeglasses that are more aesthetically acceptable than the competition, given that the metal parts are mostly located on the edge of the lens and do not visually disturb the shape of the lenses

[0030] A further goal of this invention is to provide precise, reliable, long-term positioning of metal elements that are mounted on the eyeglasses lenses.

[0031] A further goal of this invention is to perform such a way of fixing metal lens holders that does not damage the lenses because it acts on the lens with a tendency to compress the lens between the front and back surfaces of the lens, which guarantees minimal stress on the lens and no possibility of lens breakage during regular use of the eyeglasses and a high resistance of the lenses to damage in case of unwanted excessive strain on the eyeglasses.

[0045] 6. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0046] The glasant eyeglasses with two channels are composed of a nose element (N), a right temple element (DR) and a left temple element (LR), two lenses (S) which on the side of the nose (N ) and on the side of the temple (R) have an auxiliary channel (GK) or through hole (T) from the upper side of the lens (S) and the main channel (BK) performed from the side of the lenses (S ). In the version with two main side channels, a channel (BKN) is performed on the side of the nose (N) and a channel (BKR) is performed on the side of the temple (R). The channels (BK), (GK), and the hole (RT) on the side of the nose (N) as well as on the side of the temple (R) have their axis approximately perpendicular to the plane of the lens (S), approximately parallel, while the width of the channel (A) minimally greater than the dimensions of the segment (B), (G), (B 1 ), (B2) and the depth of the channel (D) greater than the dimensions of the corresponding segment (B), (G), (Bl), (B2) that is mounted into channel (BK.) ,(GK),(BKN),(BKR) as well as segments (T) in the hole (RT).

[0047] The auxiliary channels (GK.) are performed from the upper side of the glass (S) approximately along the horizontal edge of the lens (S) and are moved towards the center of the lens (S) by the dimension (X) in relation to the associated main channel (BK), (BKN), (BKR) and the main channels (BK), (BKR), (BKN) are performed from the sides of the glass ( S) approximately at the vertical edge of the glass (S), which means that the open sides of the channels are approximately mutually perpendicular to each other. In the version with two side channels (BKN) and (BKR), the channel (BKN) has the function of an auxiliary channel for the channel (BKR), where the channel (BKR) has the function of an auxiliary channel for the channel (BKN). In the version with a through hole (RT) or an oval hole (ORT), the function of the auxiliary channel (GK) is taken over by the through hole (RT), (ORT), whereby the processing of the glass (S) for the seal (RT), (ORT) is carried out in. the zone lens (S) which is precisely defined along the x-axis and along the y-axis in relation to the associated side channel (BK), In the version with, two side channels, (BKN) which is made on the side of the nose (N) and (BKR) which is made on the side of the temple (R), there are no auxiliary channels (GK) because their function of elastically pulling the side segments (Bl) and (B2) towards the center of the lens (S) is performed by the long elastic connector (DES) fixedly connected to the segments (B ] ) and (B2).

[0048] The block segment (V1N) and segment (V2N) at the exit of the channel (BKN) in the assembly phase elastically move apart from each other and automatically position themselves on the lens, thereby applying the designed pressure to the surfaces (Pl) and (P2) in the contact zone of the lens on the nose side (N) and. the block, segment (V1R) and segment (V2R) at the exit of the channel (BKR) in the assembly phase elastically move apart from each other and automatically position themselves on the lens, thereby applying the designed pressure to the surfaces (Pl) and (P2) of the lens (S) in the contact zone on the temple side (R).

[0049] The central lens connector (CS) of the element (N) is roughly vertical and fixedly connected to the block segment (V1 ) and has the function of connecting and stably positioning the left and right lens (S).

[0050] The block segment (V1) and the segment (V2) are fixedly connected to the segment (B). The block segment (V1) elastically presses the front surface of the lens (S) and. the vertical segment (V2) elastically presses the back surface (P2) of the lens (S). The vertical segment (V2) is a part of the elastic coupling (ES) which is fixedly connected to segments (G) or segment (T) with its horizontal segment (H2). The segment (Hl) is fixedly connected and perpendicular to the segment (G) and blocks the axial movement of the segment (G) in the auxiliary channel (GK), whereby the segment (Hl) is located on the opposite side of the lens (S) in relation to the elastic coupling (ES), In the version with two channels (BK1 ), (BK2) in contact with the surface (P2) of the lens (S), the vertical segment (V2N) of the nose dement (N) is an integral part of the long elastic coupling (DES) and is elastically connected to the segment ( V2R) via the elastic segment (EE). The segment (B2) is connected to the segment (V2R) and to the block segment (V1R) which is connected to the temple (DR), (LR), whereby the segment (Bl) is connected to the block segment (V1N) which is fixedly connected to the central coupling (CS) of the nose element (N) and it is in permanent elastic contact with the surface

[0051] The element of the right (DR) and the element of the left temple (LR) is symmetrical and has the same way of fixing the metal holders to the lens (S). The temple (R) is fixedly connected to the block segment (V1 ). Segment (B) or (Bl), (B2) is fixedly connected to segments (V1), (V1N) and (V2), (V2R), whereby segments (V1), (V1N) and (V2), (V2R) have the function of blocking the axial movement of the segment (B), (B1 ), (B2) in the channel (BK), (BK1), (BK2). The block segment (V1), (V1N) elastically presses the front surface (P1) of the lens (S). Segments (V2), (V2.R.) elastically press the rear surface (P2) of the lens (S). Segments ( V2), (EE), (H2) are fixedly connected to each other and all together form an elastic coupling (ES) which is connected to segment (G), (H1) or segment (T).

[0052] In the version with a hole (RT), the segment (H2) is connected as part of the elastic coupling (ES) to the segment (T) that occupies the space in the hole (RT). In the version with two channels (BK1) and (BK2), the segment (B2) is fixedly connected to the segments (V2R), which is connected via a long elastic segment (EE) to the vertical segment (V2N), which is fixedly connected to the segment (B1). Segments (V2R), (EE) and (V2N) form a long elastic coupling (DES).

[0053] The distance (V1ES) between the block segments of the nose (VI) of the segment (V2) of the elastic coupling (ES) in the pre-assembly phase is smaller than the thickness of the lens (¥) in the zone of the glass that is in contact with the segments (V1) and (V2). In the assembly phase, under the influence of force, the distance (V1ES) increases due to the elastic separation of segments (VI) and (V2) from each other. In the assembled state, the distance (VD) is the same as the thickness of the lens (Y), because the segments and (V2) in permanent elastic contact with the front (Pl) and back (P2) side of the lens (S). In the phase of lens (S) cutting and processing, the thickness of the lens (Y) is processed, on the edge of the glass to a dimension predetermined during the design of the metal parts, which is slightly larger than the distance (V1ES). Another solution that must ensure the elastic contact of the vertical segment (V1) with the front surface of the lens (Pl) and the vertical segment (V2) with the rear surface of the lens (P2) is to not process the thickness of the lens (Y) in the lens (S) processing phase but to make the metal elements of the nose (N) and. the temple (R) with different distances (V1ES) between the segments (VI) and (V2), whereby during the assembly phase according to the thickness of the lens (Y), the metal element of the nose (N) in the nose area. (N) and the temple element (DR), (LR) with the appropriate distance (V1ES) in the area of the temple (R) are selected.

[0054] Segment (B) takes place in channel (BK) and is fixedly connected to elements (V1 ) and (V2). Segment (G) takes place in channel (GK) and. is fixedly connected to segments (Hl) and (H2). The distance (BG) between the segments (B) and (G) in the pre -assembly state is smaller than the distance (BKGK) between the end of the channel (BK) and (GK).

[0055] In the design with a hole (RT) and a channel (BK) the distance (BT) between the segments (B) and (T) is smaller than the distance (BKRT) between the end of the channel (RT) and the closer edge of the hole (RT). In the version with two side channels (BKN) and (BKR) the distance (BKNBKR) between the end of the channel (BKN) and the end of the channel (BKR.) is greater than the distance (B1B2) between the segments (B1) and (B2). In the assembly phase, the distance (BG) or distance (BT) increases elastically, and after turning from the channel (GK) or hole (RT), towards the channel (BK) and entering the channel (BK), under the influence of the force produced by the elastic the coupling (ES) elastically presses the edges of the channel (BK) and (GK) or the hole (RT) which ensures a stable and long-term positioning of the main segment (B) in the channel (BK) and the segment (G) in the channel (GK) or the segment ( T) in the hole (RT). In the version with two main side channels (BKN) and (BKR), during the assembly phase, the segment (Bl) is simply pushed into the channel (BKN) and the segment

[0056] (B2) is forcibly positioned in the channel (BKR), whereby the distance (B1B2) under by force increases until the point when it cross the edge of the channel (BKR) and occupies the space in the channel (BKR). Distance (B1B2) is the distance between the closer edges of segments (B1) and (B2).

[0057] In all solutions, at the same time in the phase of forced rotation, vertical block segments (V1), (V1N) and segments (V2), (V2R) elastically move away from each other, whereby the vertical block segment (V1), (V1N) comes into permanent elastic contact with the surface (P1) of the lens (S) and the segment (V2), (V2R) comes into permanent elastic contact with the surface (P2) of the lens (S). On the part of the nose (N) there is a fixed arm pad (NP) or it is made as a separate element and mounted on rimless eyeglasses.

[0058] The nose element (N) or the temple element (R) is fixedly connected to the block segment ( V1), (V1N), (V1R) which is in fixed contact with the surface (P1) of the lens (S), while on the opposite side of the lens (S) surface (P2 ) is in contact with segment (V2), (V2N), (V2R). Segment (V2) is elastically connected to segment (H2) via. elastic segment (ES), at where the segment (H2) is connected to the segment (G) located in the auxiliary channel (GK), or to the segment (T) located in the hole (RT). In the version with two main channels, which are also auxiliary channels, (BKN) and (BKR), segments (B1) and (V2N) are connected to segments (V2R) and (B2) via. an elastic element (EE).

[0059] The element of the right temple (DR) is fixedly connected to the right temple (R) and the element of the left temple (LR) is fixedly connected to the left temple (R).

[0060] On the part of the nose element (N ) there is either a fixed arm pad (FNP) in which the pad (P) is fixed or a rotating arm pad (RNP) which can be rotated towards the middle of the nose (N) and returned to its original position at the request of the last user.

[0061] The rotating arm pad (RNP) has in its composition a segment (KNP) located in the channel (BK), (BK1), a block segment (BNP) which is in contact with the surface (Pl) of the lens (S) and blocks the axial movement of the segment (KNP) in the channel the segment (VNP) which is in contact with the surface (P2) of the lens (S), where the segment (VPN) is the limiter of rotation of the rotating arm pad (RNP) in the direction towards the middle of the lens (S), and the pad segment (SP) in which the pad (P) is mounted. The assembly of the rotating arm pad (RNP) is performed in the channel (B), (Bl) in. which, after a simple insertion of the segment (KNP) into the channel (BK), (BK1) under the influence of force, the segment (B), (B 1) is mounted. The segment (B), (B1) under the action of the elastic coupling (ES), (DES) tends to move towards the middle of the lens (S), which permanently and elastically holds the rotating arm pad (RNP) in the channel (B), (Bl ) which can to move radially in channel (B), (Bl ). The rotation of the rotating arm pad (RNP) towards the center of the eyeglasses is not limited and is carried out by the end user according to his wishes, while the rotation towards the center of the eyeglass is limited and is determined by the position of the rotating arm pad. (RNP) when in the phase of rotation towards the center of the lens (S) they come to contact segments (VNP) and (V2), which precisely and automatically determines the expected position of the rotating arm pad (RNP) in relation, to the lens (S). 7. APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

[0062] This invention is widely used primarily for prescription eyeglasses and has the possibility of being used for sunglasses as well. Considering that they are extremely light, they are suitable for people who constantly wear eyeglasses. The design of the eyeglasses is such that the lens holders do not enter the user's field of vision. The aesthetic characteristic of this type of eyeglasses is important because the metal lens holders are located on the edge of the lens and are barely visible. which implies that they do not deform the overall image of the face shape and are therefore acceptable for all face shapes. Given that cutting the channels on the lens is very simple because the channels are perpendicular to the plane of the lens and the installation of the metal lens holders is last and simple, the optician has the possibility of quickly delivery eyeglasses in his optician store. Considering that all mechanical stresses produced by metal parts during extreme stresses are canceled by using vertical segments that elastically act on the front and back surface of the lens, it is possible to use lenses with weaker mechanical properties. These lenses are significantly cheaper, which increases the possibility of using this type of eyeglasses.

Glasant eyeglasses with two channels as described in patent claim 1, in foe version with two side channels (BKN), (BKR), which simultaneously serve the function of the main channel (BKN) and the function of the auxiliary channel (BKR), characterized by the fact that the long elastic segment (DES) is fixedly connected, on one side to the working segment (Bl ) and on the other side to the working segment (B2), where the long elastic segment (DES) simultaneously acts on the side working segments (Bl) and (B2), generating a force that press the working segments (Bl) and (.82) to move towards each other along the x-axis until they make permanent contact with the ends of the side channels (BKN) on the nose side (N) and (BKR) on the temple side (R). The elements of the central nose coupling (CSN) and the dements of the left (LR) and right (DR) temples are fixed to the working segments (Bl) and (B2). The distance (B1B2) between segment (B1) and. segment (B2) in the pre-assembly state is smaller than foe distance (BKRN) between the end of the channel (BKN) and the end of the channel (BKR). The distance between the block segment (V1N) and the segment (V2N), as well as between the block segment (V1R) and the segment (V2R), in the pre-assembly phase is smaller than the thickness (Y) of the lens (S) in the zone of contact between the metal lens holders and the lens (S), thus ensuring the axial locking of segment (B1) in the channel (BKN) and. the axial locking of segment (B2) in the channel (BKR).4, Glasant eyeglasses with two channels, as described in patent claims 1 , 2, and 3, characterized by the fact that the segments (B) and (G) or (B) and (T), under the action of the force generated by the elastic coupling (ES), have a constant tendency to move towards each other, leading to permanent contact with the ends of therespective channels (BK) and (GK) or the channels (BK) and the seat (RT), (ORT), thus securing the metal element io the lens (S). The segments (B) and (G) are connected by an elastic coupling (ES), which includes the fixedly connected segments (V2), (EE), and (H2), In the version with two side channels (BKN) and (BKR), the working segments (B1 ) and. (B2) are fixed, to the lens (S) and are connected by a long elastic coupling (DES), which includes the segments (V2N), (EE), and (V2R), where the elastic element (EE) is in contact with surface (P2) along its entire length, and its length corresponds to the circumfer1nce of the lens (S) from channel (BKN) to channel (BKR). The long elastic coupling (DES) generates a force that compels segments (Bl) and (B2) to permanently elastically move towards each other, resulting in the fixation of segment (Bl) in the channel (BKN) and segment (B2) in the channel (BKR).

5. Glasant eyeglasses with two channels, as described in patent claims 1, 2, 3, and 4, involve the elastic contact of the block element (VI), (V1R), (V1L) with the surface (P1) of the lens (S) and the elastic contact of the surface (P2) of the lens (S) with the segments (V2), (V2N), (V2R) of the elastic couplings (ES), (DES), characterized by the fact that the lens (S), before assembly, is processed in the corresponding zone to a thickness (Y) which, in the pre-assembly phase, is slightly greater than, the distance (VIES), which is the distance between the block, segment (V1) and (V2), or the distance (VEN) and (V2N), or the distance (V1R) and (V2R). Another way to ensure elastic contact between segment (V1) and (V2), or segment (V1N) and (V2N), or segment (V1R) and (V2R) is to have different distances (V1ES), and in the assembly phase, select a metal element whose distance (VIES) is at least slightly smaller than the thickness (Y) in the zone where the metal element is mounted on the lens (S).

6. Glasant eyeglasses with two channels in the version with a side channel (BK) and an auxiliary channel (GK), as described in patent claims 1 , 2, 3, 4, and 5, characterized by the fact that, the axial movement of the auxiliary segment (G) in the channel (GK) is blocked by segment (H1), which is approximately perpendicular to segment (G), with, segment (H1) in contact with surface (P1) or (P2 ) of the lens (S), which is not in contact with the elastic coupling (ES), implying that segment (H1 ) is located on the opposite side of the lens (S) relative to theelastic coupling (ES). The distance between segment (HI) and segment (H2) is identical to the thickness (Y) of the lens (S) in the mounting zone.

7. Glasant eyeglasses with two channels in the version with a main channel (BK) and a seat in the form of a hole (RT), as described in patent claims 1 and 2, characterized by the fact that the distance (X) and distance (Y) from the main channel (BK) and the seat in the form of a hole (RT) are the same for all shapes of the lens (S), and that the shape of the elastic coupling (ES ) is the same and does not depend, on the shape of the lens (S), which implies that the metal elements can be mounted on any shape of the lens (S) by respecting the distances (X) and (Y) of the seat (RT) from the main channel (BK).

8. Glasant eyeglasses with two channels, as described in patent claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, characterized by the fact that the elastic coupling (ES) has the same shape as the edge of the lens (S) from the channel (BK) to the channel (GK). The long elastic coupling (DES) has the shape of the upper or lower edge of the lens (S) in the zone from the channel (BKN) to the channel (BKR). The long elastic coupling (DES) has high flexibility due to the long length of the segment (EE), which allows the end user to easily and simply disassemble and reliably reassemble the metal element of the left lens or the metal element of the right lens.

9. Glasant eyeglasses with two channels, as described in patent claims L 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, in the version featuring the rotating arm pad (RNP), characterized by the feet that includes segment (KNP) in Its composition, which is located in the channel (BK), (BK1), the block segment (BNP) that contacts the surface (Pl) of the lens (S) and blocks the axial movement of segment (KNP) in the channel (B), (Bl), the segment (VNP) which contacts the surface (P2) of the lens (S), where segment (VNP) acts as the limiter for the rotation of the rotating arm pad (RNP) towards the center of the lens (S), and the pad segment (SP) in which the pad (P) is mounted. The assembly of the rotating arm pad (RNP) is performed in the channel (B), (B1), where, after the simple insertion of segment (KNP) Into channel (BK), (BK1), segment (B), (B1) is mounted into channel (B), (B1) under the influence of force. Segment (B), (B1), under the action of the elastic coupling (ES), (DES), tends to move towards the center of the lens (S), thus permanently and elasticallypressing and holding the rotating arm pad (RNP) in the channel (B), (B1), which can only move radially within the channel (B), (B1). The rotation of the rotating, arm pad (RNP) towards the center of the eyeglasses is not limited and is performed by the end user according to their preference, with the rotation towards the center of the lens ( S) being limited and determined by the position of the rotating arm pad (RNP) at the moment wvhen, during tire rotation towards the center of the lens (S), segments (VNP) and (V2) come into contact, thus precisely and automatically defining the intended position of the rotating arm pad (RNP) relative to the lens (S).
