Patent attributes
A glasses structure that receives a variety of lens element types including full-frame, half-frame and frameless lens elements. A temple that receives a connector on the lens element includes a kerf-like slotted spring lock, that releases under pressure to allow the insertion of the lens element and once inserted, provides sufficient force to retain the lens element in position even during athletic activity. The lock includes an interior space that includes latches. The lens element includes catches and detents that correspond to the latches. In operation, the lock is forced into the open position as the catches of the lens element are forced to the backside of the latches, and as the lock closes, the latches are forced into the detents thereby securing the lens to the lock.
