Abstract
Illuminated eyewear includes a frame having a front frame portion attached to two temple portions. The temple portions are hingedly attached to the frame portion so as to rotate between an open and a closed position. An electroluminescent wire extends along top and bottom edges of both temple portions and the front frame. The electroluminescent wire extends across any gap at the hinges between the temples and front frame. Thus, at the hinges, the portions of the wire on the top and bottom edges are spaced apart from one another. A portion of the wire adjacent each hinge is unconnected to the associated edge so that the wire can slide over the edge surface as the temple pieces move between the open and closed positions.
