| 摘要 |
The present application provides improved eyeglass frames for enhanced comfort, personalization, and aesthetics. The eyeglass frames comprise temples that are proximal to a lens supporting element and temples that are distal to the lens supporting element. The proximal and distal temples form an angle that appears as an upside down “V.” In some embodiments, the frame material is rigid and the angles are fixed. In other embodiments, the frames articulate or pivot in one or more of three locations: between the proximal temple and the frame, between the proximal and distal temples, and between the distal temple and the ear rest. In other embodiments, the frames further comprise attachment elements for attaching ornaments or functional devices. |

1. An eyeglass frame, comprising:
a. a lens supporting element, b. two proximal temples extending from said lens supporting element, c. two distal temples extending distally from each of said proximal temples, d. two ear rests extending distally from each of said distal temples,wherein each of said proximal temples are rigidly, flexibly or hingedly attached to said lens supporting element, wherein said flexible or hinged attachments allow said proximal temples to pivot in respective first planes toward a top or bottom of said lens supporting element allowing a user to wear said eyeglass frame at a preferred angle on the face;wherein said proximal temple attachments are additionally flexibly or hingedly attached to said lens supporting element such that said proximal temples pivot laterally in respective second planes allowing said eyeglass frame to fold away for portability or storage;wherein said distal temples are rigidly, flexibly or hingedly attached to said proximal temples at an angle, wherein said flexible or hinged attachments allow said distal temples to pivot toward or away from said user's ears; and
wherein said ear rests are rigidly, flexibly, hingedly, or detachably attached to said distal temple. |
