Abstract A spectacle frame has a front, lens-supporting section, and a pair of temples pivotally connected to opposite ends of the front section to swing into and out of inoperative positions in which they are folded in overlapping relation against the front section. Decorative sleeves, which are generally C-shaped in cross section, and which are made of a magnetizable material, are slidably mounted on opposite ends of the front section, and the ends of the temples pivoted thereon. Secured to the outside faces of the front section and temples beneath the removable sleeves is a layer of compressible tape containing magnetic particles which help to secure the sleeves removably on the temples and front section.
A spectacle frame comprising a front, lens-supporting section, a pair of temples, a pair of hinge plates secured to the insides of said temples adjacent one end thereof, and hingedly connecting said temples to opposite ends, respectively, of said front section, each of said temples having at the hinged end thereof a first, longitudinally extending portion which is of reduced crosssectional area relative to the remaining portion of the temple, a pair of decorative sleeves, said sleeves being generally Cshaped in cross section, and being removably and slidably mounted over said first portions of said temples to cover portions of the outside faces thereof adjacent the hinged ends of the temples, a strip of compressible tape interposed between each of said temples and the sleeve mounted thereon frictionally to hold said sleeves on said temples, each of said strips of tape being secured to one of said temples and containing magnetic particles, and each of said sleeves comprising a magnetizable material.
