The eyeglasses of the present invention is provided in two designs. The first design, attaches to eyebrow studs and consists of a flexible elastomeric C-clip fixedly attached to one distal end of a metal arm, which is attached to the frameless glass lens by means of a threaded bolt, two washers and a nut. The lenses are coupled together by a one piece bridge and nose rest fixedly attached to the lens by a screw, two washers and a nut.
The second design attaches to a nose bridge stud also by means of a flexible elastomeric C-clip fixedly attached to one distal end of a frameless eyeglass lens by means of a screw, two washers and a nut and clipped to the distal end of a nose bridge stud. Both designs are frameless and are void of ear pieces side wires commonly used to hold the eyewear to the face.

The invention is a clip-on sunglass mounting which is highly reliable in operation throughout long periods of use, and which will maintain a substantially uniform and not abnormal spring pressure for clipping and securely maintaining the sunglasses in place. The vertical axes of the sunglass lenses are held in exact parallel position when spread apart and clipped onto ordinary glasses or spectacles, without the necessity of bending any parts of the frame out of shape. The invention allows the driver of an automobile to both grasp and mount the sunglasses with one hand, while controlling the steering wheel with the other.

Eyeglass frames for supporting lenses adjacent the eyes of the wearer consisting of a plurality of supporting members, having their longitudinal axes disposed vertically with respect to the face of the wearer, mounted on the upper and lower edges of the lenses. The members engage the skin adjacent the eye socket of the individual wearing the glasses and provide a movable support for the lenses adjacent the eye of the user. If the desired, the frames may also include a nose bridge member to furnish additional support on the nose of the wearer. The support members are secured to the face of the wearer by adhesive means disposed on the ends of the support members, and are slidably engaged on the edges of the lenses so as to be adjustable during use.

A jewelry article is adapted for attachment as an extension of the temple arm on conventional eyeglasses. The jewelery extension, or “glasstension”, grips the temple arm with an elastic loop potion of a gripping member, and the gripping member in turn supports one or more elongated strands of jewelry type decorations, such as beads and charms. Each glasstension is a unitary piece, with the elongated decorative strands being securely affixed onto the gripping member.

In one aspect of the invention a templeless system of eyewear is provided for securing the eyewear to the head of a person. The eyewear has a lens assembly with a first coupling element secured to the lens assembly. A second coupling element is secured to the head of a person. The lens assembly is attached to the head of the person by attaching the first and second coupling elements. In another aspect of the invention, the first coupling element is a magnet and the second coupling element is a magnetically attractable member. The magnet attracts the magnetically attractable member, thus securing the lens assembly to the person's head. In yet another aspect of the invention, the first coupling element is a magnetically attractable member and the second coupling element is a magnet. In another aspect of the invention, a device is provided for magnetically coupling sportswear, such as eyewear, to a person. The device has an adhesive backing material for attaching the device to the person, with a flexible covering on top of
