| 20090219481 | EYEWEAR WITH ADJUSTABLE TEMPLES - An eyewear comprising a frame with lens and temples mounted to the frame. Each of the temples comprises a branch having a proximal end, a distal end and an internal wall defining an aperture extending longitudinally along the branch. The internal wall has a first curved portion with a first curvature, the first curved portion being made of a flexible material. Each of the temples further comprises a member slidably moveable in the aperture, the member having a second curved portion with a second curvature, the second curved portion registering with the first curved portion, the second curvature being greater than the first curvature such that movement of the member along the aperture and towards the distal end of the branch displaces the branch from a first position in which a first pressure is applied to a side of a wearer's head to a second position in which a second pressure is applied to the side of the wearer's head, the second pressure being greater than the first pressure. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090290119 | Durable Eyewear Having Lens Cutouts - Eyewear which may be worn high up the bridge of the nose of a wearer and which simultaneously provides the wearer with the option of not needing to gaze through any lens material when peering straight ahead, by virtue of cutout regions disposed at the top portions of the lenses. Eyewear as provided overcomes problems of the prior art, including “popping out” of lenses from their frames in cases of framed lenses having cutouts, and also obviates lens breakage. The eyewear provided may comprise reading glasses, bi-focal lenses, and tri-focal lenses. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100053546 | EYEGLASSES - Eyeglasses are provided with temples that are constructed of a metal, preferably a memory alloy like beta alumina. The temples exhibit corrugations, or folds, along the the temple, at a point proximal to the pivot pin of the hinge where the temples are secured to the frame. The corrugations may be in any direction, including the longitudinal axis of the temple. The temples, due to the corrugations, are sufficiently flexible to adapt to the shape and width of the wearer's head, but retain their shape, and consequently urge the glasses, once put on, against the head of the wearer. This tends to retain the glasses on the head of the wearer against forces that tend to dislodge those glasses, such as gravity, or inertia when the wearer moves her head. The combination of metal temple and corrugations provide for a comfortable eyeglass which can be worn with confidence. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100225878 | GLASSES AND GLASSES BOX - The present invention discloses glasses. The glasses include a pair of temples and a frame which is integrally formed with the temples.

The magnetic members engage with each other to secure the temples in place when the temples are folded. The glasses may be attracted on a metallic board or a metallic frame for convenient storage and use. The present invention discloses a glasses box which includes a box body and a box cover. The box body and the box cover are buckled together to form an accommodating space for receiving glasses. The box cover has an outer side provided with a sucker and an inner side provided with a magnet. When in use, the glasses box provides an accommodating space for receiving glasses therein. When taking out the glasses, the sucker of the box cover could be secured on a desired place. The glasses when not in use could be attracted on the magnet. This is very convenient for specific glasses which have temples made of metallic material or magnetic members. | 09-09-2010 |
