EYEGLASSES.

Toc' ll whom it my camera.

Be it known that I, NAPOLEON (pinion, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nashua, in" the county of Hillsboro and- State. of New Hampshire, have invented] new and useful Improvements in Eyeglasses,

. of which the following is a specification.

Thisxinvention relates to eye-glasses, the objectin view beingto provide a novel form ofhmounting; for the lenses, whereby all Qfipartslof' the eye-glasses are held securely togethen withoutathe use of the usual screws or-fotherconventional fastening devices, at :the'sam'e time enabling the parts to be readily disassociated and reassembled, without dangerof breaking the lenses. The mountings are o'i'such-a simple character that they may be'easily and economically stamped up from ,shect'metaL With the above and other objects in View, the inventionv consists in the construction, combination-and arrangement of parts,.as

' will be hereinafter more fully described,

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of a pair of spectacles or eyeglasses, embodying the present invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail horizontal section. through one of the mountings. "Fig. 3'

nose piece 2 is provided with the angular end portions or terminals 4 which are insertible within the mounting, as will inafter appear.

The inner mounting is illustrated in deheretail in Fig. 4, wherein it is seen to comprise the oppositely arranged parallel bars 5 and 6, and aconnecting cross bar 7. At one end, the parallel bars 5 and 6 are bent substan- Specification of Letters Patent. 1, P t f d Sept. 17 1912' Application filed February 13, 1912. Serialiio. 677,305. 3

tially at right anglesto form the arms 8 and 9, and the extremities of these arms are. bent inwardly to form. studs 10 which enter correspondingv holes 11 in the lenses, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The other endscf the parallel bars 5 and 6 are bent around'GO thema-nner illustrated in flat, as shown at 14, to bear against the lens 1 and hold the same against the arms 8 and 9 of the mounting and in engagement with the studs 10. The other end of the spring is given a compound'bend, so as to embrace the" angular end or terminal 40f the nose piece, said embracing portion of the spring being illustrated at 1 5.

The end mounting, illustrated in detail in Figs. 3 and 5, corresponds, in the main,

with the mounting shown in Figs.r2 and 4,

with the exception that the arms 8 and 9 are dispensed with, the other ends of the par allel bars 5 and 6 being bent to form eyes 16 constituting attaching means to receive the pintle 17 of the adjacent how 3. One of the eyes 16 is extended vertically to form a stop'shoulder 17 for limiting the outward movementof the how 3.

vIn connection with the end mounting, I

employ a spring, the central portion 18 of which passes around-behind the crossbar 7, while one end is-substantially flat, as shown at 19, to bear against the'lens and hold the same against the arms 5 andfi,

while i the opposite end .is recurved, as 95,

showmat-QO, to engage the pintle 17, the latter being. preferably provided withpro jections .or shoulders 21 to prevent the pintle of the bow from becoming disengaged from the spring, after the parts have been adjusted to their proper relation to 'each other.

From the foregoing description, it will be understood that the spring of each mounting forms and constitutes a key for locking the several parts together, and permit-ting the same to be taken apart, thereby doing away with the use of the ordinary conventional screws and like fastenings heretofore used for that purpose. In the inner or main mounting, the angular ex-' treinity 4 of the nose piece serves to Wedge 5 the spring'in place, While in the end mounting .the pintle of the bow performs this function. 4

What is claimed is:

1. An eye-glass, mountingembodying par- 10 allel bars, and a cross bar connecting the same, terminal studs on the parallel bars at one end, hooks at the opposite end of the parallel bars, a' lens having holes to receive the studs, a nose piece having a terminal 15 shank receivable in said hooks, and a spring key embracing the cross bar with one end bearing against the lens and the other end engaging the shank of the nose piece and afiiz: my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
