DEVICE FOR ATTACHING A REPLACEABLE NOSEPIECE TO AN EYEGLASS FRAME

摘要

A system for attaching a replaceable, customizable nosepiece to an eyeglass frame is disclosed where the eyeglass and nosepiece fit together through a snappable attachment. The eyewires of the eyeglass frame are provided with a notch and adjacent projection. The nosepiece is roughly horseshoe shape, sized and shaped to fit between the eyewires under the connecting bridge of the frame. The tips of the horseshoe are shaped to snap into the notches on the eyewires, and be retained by the adjacent projections. In this manner, the nosepiece may be specifically selected for or customized to the particular size and shape of the user's nose.
