Abstract
Disclosed is an improved structure for coupling some selected parts of a pair of glasses, particularly for fixing a lens to an associated rim and at the same time, the rim to the joint piece, to which one or the other temple is hinged. The rim has a loop hole at its outer side, dividing the rim circumference into upper and lower rim halves. The rim has two broach sections fixed to the opposite ends of the upper and lower rim halves, and the joint piece has a hollow coupler member to permit the broach sections to be press-fitted therein, thereby holding the lens inside the rim. Two catch pins are fixed to the inner sides of the adjoining rims. These catch pins are inserted into the lateral holes of the opposite ends of the bridge, thus detachably connecting the bridge to the adjoining rims.
