Abstract:
1. Eyeglasses, said eyeglasses defining substantially opposed eyeglasses lateral sides, said eyeglasses comprising: a pair of lenses provided in a substantially side-by-side relationship relative to each other between said eyeglasses lateral sides; a pair of connectors each provided substantially adjacent a respective one of said eyeglasses lateral sides; and a pair of side arms, each of said side arms being pivotally coupled to a respective one of said connectors so as to be pivotable in a respective side arm pivoting plane, said side arms defining each a respective side arm-to-lens angle in said respective side arm pivoting plane between said side arms and said lenses; said side arms being each pivotable in said side arm pivoting plane over a respective side arm range of motion, said side arm range of motion defining a first, a second and a third angle interval, wherein: each of said side arms defining a side arm proximal end located substantially adjacent said connector, a side arm distal end substantially opposed to said side arm proximal end, a side arm body extending from said side arm distal end toward said side arm proximal end and a side arm pin provided substantially adjacent said side arm proximal end; each of said connectors defining a connector body, said connector body defining a side arm attachment recess for removably receiving said side arm pin thereinto and allowing rotation of said side arm about said side arm pin in said side arm pivoting plane, said side arms being removably attachable to said connectors; said side arms each including a deformable element substantially resiliently deformable between a released configuration and a deformed configuration; wherein, with said side arms attached to said connectors, for each of said side arms and for said connector to which said each of said arms is pivotally coupled, said side arm is pivotable about said pin between a locked position and an unlocked position, said pin being removable from said attachment recess in said unlocked position and said pin being locked in said attachment recess in said locked position, said side arm being movable between said locked and unlocked positions when said deformable element is in said deformed configuration, said side arm being substantially prevented from moving between said locked and unlocked positions when said deformable element is in said released configuration.
