Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
185 words
An eyeglass assembly comprising: a separate and distinct first lens holding frame having a temple piece pivotally attached to and extending rearwardly from an edge portion of said first frame and a curved portion defining a nose bridge portion a separate and distinct second lens holding frame having a temple piece pivotally attached to and extending rearwardly from an edge portion of said second frame said first and second frames releasably connected to each other at a connection point in the nose piece zone with one of said frames having a pin receiving hole disposed within the nose piece zone of said frame and the other of said frames having a pin projecting from the nose piece zone of said other frame and said frames having abutting edge surfaces so that upon connection a hidden seam will be formed between said frame pieces and no portion of the connection will be visible so as to give the impression of an integral eyeglass frame and said curved portion of said first frame cooperates with a portion of said second frame to define a complete nose bridge.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
185 words
An eyeglass assembly comprising: a separate and distinct first lens holding frame having a temple piece pivotally attached to and extending rearwardly from an edge portion of said first frame and a curved portion defining a nose bridge portion a separate and distinct second lens holding frame having a temple piece pivotally attached to and extending rearwardly from an edge portion of said second frame said first and second frames releasably connected to each other at a connection point in the nose piece zone with one of said frames having a pin receiving hole disposed within the nose piece zone of said frame and the other of said frames having a pin projecting from the nose piece zone of said other frame and said frames having abutting edge surfaces so that upon connection a hidden seam will be formed between said frame pieces and no portion of the connection will be visible so as to give the impression of an integral eyeglass frame and said curved portion of said first frame cooperates with a portion of said second frame to define a complete nose bridge.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The eyeglass assembly defined in claim 1 further comprising locking means to prevent rotation of the frames about the connection point.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
The eyeglass assembly defined in claim 2 wherein said locking means comprises a second pin projecting from one of said frames and a pin receiving hole in the other of said frames, said pin and hole being disposed on said frames in such a manner that upon connection of said frames said pin engages said hole and prevents the rotation of said frames about said connection point.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The eyeglass assembly defined in claim 1 wherein said frames are of dissimilar geometric shapes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The eyeglass assembly defined in claim 1 wherein said pin is in the form of solid projection having a plurality of definitive sides, with said pin mating with a hole of similar geometry so that rotation of the pin within the hole is prevented.
