Abstract:
Eyewear comprising a lens frame, at least one temple or ear piece, and at least one hinge. The hinge may be a substantially C-shaped wire with two end portions inserted through axially aligned pairs of holes formed into the lens frame and the temple. Alternatively, the hinge may be omitted and a hinge faceplate having a vertical rod portion integrally formed thereto may be coupled with the lens frame and the temple. Specifically, the temple may have a protrusion mating with a depression formed into the lens frame and the temple may have a depression formed therein mating with a rod end of the vertical rod portion, such that a portion of the temple is sandwiched between and rotatable relative to the vertical rod portion of the hinge faceplate and the lens frame.
