ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses a bow and hinge mounting assembly for pivotally securing a bow to an eyeglasses frame having a upper frame portion and a lower frame portion. In one embodiment of this invention, a single mounting screw is used to secure the upper portion of the eyeglasses frame to the lower portion of the frame and to pivotally mount the bow to the eyeglasses frame. The lower portion of the eyeglasses frame has a lower mounting plate that protrudes outward therefrom. A mounting pin rigidly secured to the lower mounting plate is arranged to pivotally engage a hole in the mounting portion of the bow. The bow is kept in place on the mounting pin by means of a upper retaining plate. This plate protrudes outward from the upper portion of the eyeglasses frame and is arranged to contact the top of the mounting pin to thereby retain the bow in place upon the mounting pin. In a second embodiment of the invention, the upper retaining plate is eliminated and the bow is kept in place upon the mounting pin by means of a flathead screw that threadably engages a hole in the mounting pin. The bow used in both embodiments of the invention includes a retaining arm that restricts the outward pivotal movement of the bow.
