Abstract

Abstract Makeup glasses include frames 2 attached on both sides of a nose bridge 1 and temple arms 3 hinged to the frame. To enable the application of eye makeup the nose bridge has track-like shanks 5 extending downwardly which are slidingly fitted into mating grooves 6 in the frames so that either frame together with its lens 4 can be moved below the eye. Stop locks in the form of dimples 7 and nibs 8 are provided between the shanks and the grooves to hold the frames in the pushed-up and pushed-down position.
