Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
An eyeglass structure comprising an eyeglass frame including a pair of generally annular elements joined by a nose bridge, a pair of lens carrying elements overlying said annular elements, annular grooves in one pair of elements, annular ridge means of deflectable material carried by the other pair of elements, said ridge means on each of said other pair of elements removably engaging an annular groove in an element of said one pair of elements, said ridge means being in snap-fit rotatable relation thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An eyeglass structure comprising an eyeglass frame including a pair of generally annular elements joined by a nose bridge, a pair of lens carrying elements overlying said annular elements, annular grooves in one pair of elements, annular ridge means of deflectable material carried by the other pair of elements, said ridge means on each of said other pair of elements removably engaging an annular groove in an element of said one pair of elements, said ridge means being in snap-fit rotatable relation thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
An eyeglass structure according to claim 1 wherein said first pair of annular elements each include said annular groove and each of said lens carrying elements includes a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion having means on the end thereof releasably and slidably engaging the groove on one of said annular elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
An eyeglass structure according to claim 2 wherein said annular grooves each have a circular cross section slightly greater than 180° and are disposed in the front face of each of the first said annular elements and the cylindrical portion on each of said lens carrying elements terminates in an annular member of circular cross section releasably engaging one of said grooves.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
An eyeglass structure according to claim 1 wherein each of said first pair of annular elements includes an annular groove on the front surface thereof having a circular cross section slightly greater than 180° and the last said means includes an annular member of circular cross section extending from the rear surface of each of said lens carrying elements.
