Patent attributes
A modular eyeglass frame may include a lens frame and a plurality of handles with oppositely facing first and second sides. Each side may include unique surface indicia. A mechanism for interchangeably connecting the handles to the lens frame may further be included. A coupling may be attached to a proximal end of one of the handles. Helical spring members may be mated to the coupling at one end and may include a bearing at another end. Receiving blocks may be attached to the lateral ends of the lens frame and may feature sockets formed in an inner wall thereof, to receive each bearing. Grooves may be formed in lateral sides of the receiving blocks. Such grooves may be effectively axially aligned with locking arms such that the locking arms are interfitted inside the grooves when the coupling is interfitted between the receiving blocks.
