The granted patent (Publication Number: US11852903B2) describes innovative eyeglasses with a unique design that allows for easy adjustment of the lens-holding rim. The front frame of the eyeglasses includes an upper rim portion and a lower rim portion connected by an endpiece that can rotate about two parallel pivot axes. This design enables the rim portions to move closer or further apart, adjusting the fit of the lens. The endpiece also features retaining means and counter-retaining means that hold the rim portions together when in a closed position, ensuring a secure fit for the lens.

Furthermore, the eyeglasses feature a lower rim portion with an appendage that can rotate in a seat located in the endpiece. The appendage is fork-shaped with hinged arms, allowing for additional flexibility in adjusting the lens-holding rim. A rod-like element is also included, extending internally in the endpiece and externally to a seat in the upper rim portion, providing structural support and further enhancing the adjustability of the eyeglasses. Overall, the patented design offers a versatile and customizable solution for eyeglass wearers looking for a comfortable and secure fit.
