Spectacles having adjustable temples and ear engaging members

摘要

A pair of spectacles which can be adjusted to accommodate the size and contour requirements of any wearer includes an eye shield attached to an eye shield frame. The eye shield frame has a groove for receiving a coin or similar object which is used to forcibly dislodge the shield from the shield frame to allow for replacement of the shield. Attached to the eye shield frame is a pair of temples each including an outer housing which has a plurality of holes formed on a side surface thereof and is rotatably attached to a pin located within the eye frame member. An inner sleeve with an interconnected adjustable ear engaging member is located within the outer housing. The inner sleeve includes a circular raised portion formed on an inner side surface and a stop member located on a bottom surface. The circular raised portion of the inner sleeve fits into any of the circular holes formed in the outer housing. The length of the temple can be adjusted by moving the inner sleeve relative to the outer housing such that the raised portion on the inner sleeve moves into another of the circular holes of the outer housing. The stop member on the bottom surface of the inner sleeve prevents the inner sleeve from being removed from the outer housing and provides a visual indication of the adjusted length of each temple.
