Patent ID: 6843562

Claim:
A spectacle frame comprising: a frame body adapted for housing a pair of lenses; and first and second temples, each of the temples including a fixed temple member extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, an intermediate portion disposed between the proximal and distal end portions, and inner and outer surfaces, the proximal end of the fixed temple member being connected to the frame body; an extendable temple member extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, an intermediate portion disposed between the proximal and distal end portions, and inner and outer surfaces, the extendable temple member being extendable from a normal position, where the proximal end portion of the extendable temple member is proximate to the proximal end portion of the fixed temple member and the distal end portion of the extendable temple member is proximate to the distal end portion of the fixed temple member, and an extend position, where the proximal end portion of the extendable temple member is proximate to the distal end portion of the fixed temple member and the distal end portion the extendable temple member is longitudinally spaced from the distal end portion of the fixed temple member; a biasing device providing a biasing force for urging the extendable temple member to the extended position; and a latch for releasably locking the extendable temple member in the normal position against the biasing force of the biasing device.
