Module eye glasses

摘要

An eyeglass assembly formed of detachable and interchangeable parts. The assembly comprises detachable upper and lower frame parts that define an aperture for receiving lenses or a lens assembly. Two interchangeable temple arms are pivotally connected to the upper and lower frame parts and assist in holding the eyeglass assembly together. The eyeglasses advantageously allow a wearer, manufacturer, designer, distributor and/or retailer to vary the shape, style, size or color of the eyeglasses to suit their requirements by a simple interchange of parts. Other embodiments are directed to eyeglass components formed from heat dissipating material, specifically temple arms comprising an insert formed of a heat dissipating material such as a polymer or aluminum.
