Glasses with hinge structure with temple clip

Abstract

In a first aspect, a pair of eyeglasses is provided and includes a lens and frame assembly that includes at least one lens, a first temple and a second temple, and a hinge structure pivotally connecting each temple to the lens and frame assembly. The hinge structure includes two first projections which are spaced apart from one another. Each first projection has a first pivot member thereon. The first projections extend from one of said temple and said lens and frame assembly. The other of said temple and said lens and frame assembly has two second pivot members that pivotally mate with the first pivot members. The first projections are resiliently flexible for movement between a use position in which the first pivot members are pivotally mated with the second pivot members, and a disengagement position in which the first pivot members are withdrawn from the second pivot members so as to permit the temple and the lens and frame assembly to be separated from one another. A blocking member is removably mountable in abutment with the first projections so as to prevent movement of the first projections to the disengagement position.
