| 20100053546 | EYEGLASSES - Eyeglasses are provided with temples that are constructed of a metal, preferably a memory alloy like beta alumina. The temples exhibit corrugations, or folds, along the the temple, at a point proximal to the pivot pin of the hinge where the temples are secured to the frame. The corrugations may be in any direction, including the longitudinal axis of the temple. The temples, due to the corrugations, are sufficiently flexible to adapt to the shape and width of the wearer's head, but retain their shape, and consequently urge the glasses, once put on, against the head of the wearer. This tends to retain the glasses on the head of the wearer against forces that tend to dislodge those glasses, such as gravity, or inertia when the wearer moves her head. The combination of metal temple and corrugations provide for a comfortable eyeglass which can be worn with confidence. | 03-04-2010 |
