Accordingly, when wearing the glasses, a user may easily adjust the nose cushion on the height of a bridge of nose for steadiness and compatibility.

[0007] However, in the prior art that is disclosed, generally, the spectacle frames may be provided with locating holes for replacing and locating the nose cushions and adjusting their height. No proper structure is provided between the spectacle frames and the lenses for removal and replacement. Thus, it is not helpful to solve the issue on removal, installation, and fitness of the lenses.

[0008] Consequently, because of the technical defects of described above, the applicant keeps on carving unflaggingly through wholehearted experience and research to develop the present invention, which can effectively improve the defects described above.

[0009] In consideration of the mentioned-above defects of prior art, an improved structure according to this invention is provided to make achieve easy removal, installation, and fitness.

[0010] Thus, a framework of combination of spectacle frames with lenses is provided. The framework of combination of the spectacle frames with the lenses comprises a pair of spectacle frames. The spectacle frame comprises a upper arm and joins together with a nose piece. A hole seat is formed between the hemline of upper arm and the nose piece, and a wedge hole is formed inside the hole seat. Inside the wedge hole, at least one section is formed, and a first wide portion, a first narrow portion, and a second wide portion are formed from top to bottom in sequence. The top end of nose piece is connected to a gibbous wedge. Further, the width of gibbous wedge is smaller than the first wide portion of wedge hole and larger than the second wide portion and slightly larger than the first narrow portion of wedge hole to make the gibbous wedge to be brought into the first wide portion and then constrain the first narrow portion and thus locate in the second wide portion. A distance between the gibbous wedge and the upper arm may be adjusted. Further, a groove of which the mouth is downward is formed at the hemline of upper arm near the outside. A support portion is formed stretching from the nosepiece, at which a support slot of which the mouth is upward is formed. A lens of integral whole comprises two units of lenses between which a junction is formed into a neck. The neck is arranged between the groove and the support slot. Thus, the lens may be easily assembled into the spectacle frame, and the issue on adjustment of fitness without any segment due to easy assembly.

[0017] Now, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only; it is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

[0018] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a framework according to this invention comprises a spectacle frame (1) and a lens (2).

[0019] With reference to FIGS. 3 through 5, the spectacle frame (1) according to this invention comprises an upper arm (11) and joins together with a nosepiece. A hole seat (13) is formed between the hemline of upper arm (11) and the nosepiece (12), and a wedge hole (14) is formed inside the hole seat (13). Inside the wedge hole (14), at least one section is formed, and a first wide portion (141), a first narrow portion (142), and a second wide portion (143) are formed from top to bottom in sequence. The top end of nosepiece (12) is connected to a gibbous wedge (121). Further, the width of gibbous wedge (121) is smaller than the first wide portion (141) of wedge hole (14) and larger than the second wide portion (143) and slightly larger than the first narrow portion (142) of wedge hole (14). From the top of first wide portion (141), a second narrow portion (not shown) may further stretch. A third narrow portion (144) may further stretch from a lower part of the second wide portion (143), and even a third wide portion (145) may also stretch from a lower part of the third narrow portion (144) and so on. Further, with reference to FIG. 5, a groove (111) of which the mouth is downward is formed at the hemline of upper arm (11) near the outside. A support portion (122) is formed stretching from the nosepiece (12), at which a support slot (123) of which the mouth is upward is formed.

[0020] With reference to FIG. 4, the gibbous wedge (121) may be brought into the first wide portion (141) and then pass with an elastic material through the first narrow portion (142), the second wide portion (143), and the third narrow portion (144) and thus locate in the third wide portion (145). Then, the gibbous wedge (121) may function in the wedge hole (14) for adjustment of the height and the distance from the upper arm (11).

[0021] Further, in this invention, a lens (2) of integral whole is further provided, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and comprises two units of lenses (21) and (22) between which a junction is formed into a neck (23). With cross-reference to FIG. 5, the neck (23) is arranged between the groove (111) and the support slot (123). With reference to FIG. 4, the gibbous wedge (121) may function in the wedge hole (14) for adjustment of the height and the distance from the upper arm (11). The support portion (122) and support slot (123) that stretch from the nosepiece (12) are adjusted for the distance from the upper arm (11). Again, the lens (2) is supported by the support slot (123), so the distance between the lens (2) and the upper arm (11) may be adjusted to tightly fit the lens (2) with levels of segments.

[0022] The effect of fitness and the degree of tightness may depend on the width and size of gibbous wedge (121) and the width of corresponding wedge hole (14) or the amount of wide and narrow portions.

[0023] Further, it is nevertheless especially noted that, although being illustrated in the figure, the inner width of wedge hole (14) is given by continuous crooks formed at two sides. However, in the embodiment, the width may also depend on a vertical side and a continuously crooked side.

[0024] The gibbous wedge (121) connected to the top of nosepiece (12) according to this invention may be provided at the inner side of a connection rod (120) stretching from the top of nosepiece (12), as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As shown in FIG. 6, the gibbous wedge (121) may also be formed with a comparatively wider portion given by the width of connection rod (120) stretching from the top of nosepiece (12).

[0025] While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
