Patent ID: 7198364

Claim:
An eyeglass combination comprising: a primary frame comprising, a first bridge and two sides, each side having a stud, each stud including a magnetic material; an auxiliary frame comprising a second bridge and two sides, each side having an extension, and each extension including a rear end having a first flange extended downward relative to the remaining portion of the extension, each flange including a magnetic material; each extension extending across the corresponding stud, and the magnetic materials of at least one of the auxiliary frame or the primary frame being permanent magnets; each magnetic material of the primary frame engages, in a plane substantially parallel to a plane of a lens of the primary frame, with the corresponding magnetic materials of the auxiliary frame such that the auxiliary frame is secured to and supported by the primary frame; and the flanges are located behind the studs to reduce the likelihood of the auxiliary frame being disengaged from the primary frame if the auxiliary frame is pulled forward relative to the primary frame.
