Patent ID: 7670000

Claim:
Eyeglasses of the rimless type comprising a bridge interconnecting two eyeglass lenses, and two side branches of wire structure each connected to a respective side zone of the corresponding lens, each side branch comprising a main portion and a distal end extending said main portion and arranged to fasten to the side zone of the lens, said distal end being generally J-shaped and including a holder portion passing through a through hole in the lens with a flexible clamping bushing being interposed therebetween that suffices on its own to hold the distal end in place, and an antirotation portion passing into an open side notch or into another through hole in the lens, without clamping the lens between said holder portion and said antirotation portion, a central portion that interconnects the holder portion and the antirotation portion extending in the vicinity of the front face of the lens, wherein each side branch is fitted with a hinge that is arranged so that a section and a profile of the side branch in the deployed position are generally continuous so as to be capable of passing through the through hole in the lens, thereby enabling said side branch to be put into place merely by being threaded, while in its deployed position, through the lens from its front face.
