ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method, and more particularly to a method for securing spectacle members, such as the legs or temples and the lenses, and/or the bridge and the lenses, together.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical spectacle frames, particularly the rimless spectacle frames, comprise a pair of lenses, a bridge secured between the lenses, and a pair of legs or temples secured to the sides of the lenses respectively. The spectacle members, including the lenses and the temples and/or the bridge, are normally secured together with adhesive materials and/or fasteners, and may not be solidly secured together. In addition, it takes a long time to apply the adhesive materials onto the spectacle members and/or to securing the fasteners.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional spectacle frames.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a method for solidly securing the spectacle members, including the lenses and the temples and/or the bridge, together without fasteners.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for securing a first spectacle member and a second spectacle member together, the method comprises forming an orifice and an opening in the first spectacle member, the opening of the first spectacle frame including an open or enclosed structure, forming an extension and a projection on the second spectacle member, engaging the extension and the projection of the second spectacle member into the orifice and the opening of the first spectacle member, and deforming the extension to engage with the first spectacle member and to secure the first and the second spectacle members together. The first spectacle member is the lenses, and the second spectacle member may be the bridge or the temples. The spectacle members may be easily and quickly secured together without fasteners.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
