Abstract:
Eyeglasses comprising:a frame body having a midpoint; a first temple bar pivotally engaged to a first end of the frame body; a second temple bar pivotally engaged to a second end of the frame body; a first magnetic means engaged with the first temple bar at a distance from the frame body first end such that the first magnetic means aligns with the frame body midpoint when the first temple bar is pivoted closed; a second magnetic means engaged with the second temple bar at a distance from the frame body second end such that the second magnetic means aligns with the frame body midpoint when the second temple bar is pivoted closed; wherein the second magnetic means is in attractive magnetic communication with the first magnetic means at least when the temple bars are pivoted closed; and wherein the first and second magnetic means remain in attractive magnetic communication when the temple bars are closed but separated by clothing material, the attractive magnetic communication imparting a gripping force on the clothing material sufficient enough to substantially prevent relative movement between the temple bars and the clothing material.
