ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an eyewear frame assembly. A frame has an aperture for receiving a lens. The frame has a split to expand upper and lower portions of the frame to insert or remove the lens from the aperture. First and second projections extend outwardly from the upper and lower frame portions, respectively. The first and second projections have first and second tapered portions, respectively. A sleeve receives said first and second projections. The sleeve has first and second inwardly extending and tapered tabs adapted to receive the first and second tapered portions to secure the first and second projections within the sleeve. The upper and lower portions of the frame are prevented from expanding when the first and second projections are received within the sleeve. First and second openings in the sleeve provide access to depress the first and second projections to remove the first and second projections from the first and second sleeves.
