Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to an eyeglasses frame
assembly with innovatory convenience and security features, and
more particularly, the present invention is directed to an
eyeglasses frame assembly which is provided with a bridge coupling
structure and a end coupling structure for the eyeglasses frame
assembly to be easily and promptly assembled or disassembled and
for a temple to secured to each end of the eyeglasses frame
assembly.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Eyeglasses are indispensable for modern people in daily
life. Generally, a conventional frame 101 of an eyeglasses 10 is
made of metal or plastic material and is made into one piece.
Referring to FIG. 1, in order for a pair of lenses 102 to be
respectively inlaid in the hollows 103 of the frame 101, the size
of each lens 102 must accord with that of each hollow 103 because
the size of each hollow 103 is fixed. When being assembled, each
lens 102 is forced to be inlaid in the groove 104 of each hollow
103.
[0005] Although the above-mentioned assembling manner can obtain
the purpose of finishing assembling an eyeglasses 10, it causes
much trouble and inconvenience to assemble the lenses 102 with the
frame 101 by forcing each lens 102 to be inlaid in the groove 104
of each hollow 103. Moreover, it would cause damage to the lenses
102. Besides, the frame 101 is made to be one single color after
formation, and it must be additionally painted in order to become
colorific. It not only causes inconvenience but also costs
more.
[0006] Therefore, another conventional eyeglasses frame assembly 20
was invented to overcome the drawbacks. Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and
4, the conventional eyeglasses frame assembly 20 is provided with
screws holes 2011 and 2021 respectively at both ends of an upper
half frame 201 and a lower half frame 202, and a screw N is
penetrated through the screw holes 2011 and 2021, so as to thereby
assemble the upper half frame 201 with the lower half frame
202.
[0007] Although the above-mentioned another conventional eyeglasses
frame assembly 20 can effectively overcome the trouble in securing
lenses 203, screws N are needed to assemble the upper half frame
201 with the lower half frame 202, it still causes much trouble and
inconvenience in assembly, and it may not be aesthetically pleasing
to some customers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Therefore, the present invention is designed to provide an
eyeglasses frame assembly that can substantially obviate the
drawbacks of the related conventional arts.
[0009] An objective of the present invention is to provide an
eyeglasses frame assembly which includes an upper half portion and
a lower half portion to be convenient for changing different colors
for aesthetic appearance of the eyeglasses frame assembly.
[0010] Another objective of the present invention is to provide an
eyeglasses frame assembly which is provided with a bridge coupling
structure for the upper half portion and the lower half portion to
be easily and promptly assembled or disassembled.
[0011] Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide
an eyeglasses frame assembly which is provided with an end coupling
structure for the upper half portion and the lower half portion to
be easily and promptly assembled or disassembled and for a temple
to be pivotally secured to each end of the eyeglasses frame
assembly.
[0012] A further objective of the present invention is to provide
an eyeglasses frame assembly which can reduce cost and labor of
production.
[0013] Accordingly, an eyeglasses frame assembly in the present
invention is assembled by an upper half portion and a lower half
portion. The upper half portion is provided with a central hollow
in the bridge, two opposite catching blocks are provided in the
central hollow, each catching block is provided with a barb, and
downward elongated grooves are provided in the upper half portion.
A pair of downward against blocks and an inserting rod are provided
at the bottom of each end section of the upper half portion, and a
screw hole is provided in each end of the upper half portion. The
lower half portion is provided with two opposite protruding members
at the bridge, a through hole is formed between two opposite
protruding members, each protruding member is provided with a
stopping article, and upward elongated grooves are provided in the
lower half portion. A pair of upward against blocks are provided on
each end of the lower half portion, a concave is formed between the
pair of upward against blocks, and a screw hole is provided in each
end of the lower half portion.
